No problems here.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In the July/August issue (Speak Out), Ms. Lin Wilwol stated her opinions about good-looking women in gun ads. You asked to hear what young people had to say about this. Here it is. Ha PROBLEM! I am a 15-year old boy who's just recently gotten a 1911 and ...
Thumb safety bias.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... I disagree with Mr. Smith about a thumb safety on the XD (Reality Check, Sept/Oct). I have permit to carry and there is no way I am going to stick a gun inside my belt with a so called Trigger Safety, which has a history of accidental discharges (can you say GLOCK?). If you carry as per a ...
Lock 'em up.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... I, along with many others, do enjoy this publication greatly. The entire magazine is filled with not just entertaining but also informative and useful information. Please maintain your high standards. While I have many topics I could discuss, allow me to provide, hopefully, a "closing" ...
Biking CCW.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... I noticed in your review of AY UP lights (Gunny Sack, July/Aug) that you ride road bicycles. As an avid bicyclist myself (and somewhere past 50), I'm interested to know if you carry when riding. If so, how? It seems a bit difficult with spandex and lycra! I'm sure there are a few of your ...
Liberal gun owner?(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... I am a 23 year-old male reader of your mag. I might be changing my source of info, however, much to your dismay. I'd rather get my handgunning information from watching old Bond films than to give you any more of my money. I understand that naturally, your advertisements are going to cater ...
Soldiers thank us.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008 ... I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate you putting Team Pegasus in Handgunner (Insider, July/Aug). I was very pleased to be able to see them get a little press and emailed ...
Great girlfriend.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... First, I would like to say that I have enjoyed your magazine over the years, and have come across a good chunk of information reading it. I have never written to the magazine before, but I have to say it has crossed my mind several times. The reason I am contacting you now is I am in a ...
Old is new.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... It's a rainy Sunday and I was cleaning out some of the old magazines in which I had articles. In hand is the Nov/Dec 1988 issue of Handgunner. My only contribution was, of all things, a book review on Brian A Felter's book Police Defensive Handgun Use and Encounter Tactics. The point of ...
Tommy Campbell.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... Thanks for the Tom Campbell story (Better Shooting, July/Aug). Sometime in the mid to late 1980s I attended an IPSC match at the Westfield Sportsmen's Assoc. (I hope I got that right. I just turned 60!) in Westfield, MA. Living in New England, needless to say, I had heard of "Tommy" ...
Connor okay.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... Your people at GUNS and Handgunner have a valuable person there in John Connor so hang onto him whatever you do. We need more people who are full of common sense and he has it in spades. He's honest, no BS, and captures in his writing the way a lot of us feel about things. And all ...
We actually respond.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... Recently I spoke briefly on the phone with Sammy Reese (editor, Special Editions). I was asking how to get in touch with Mr. Taffin and Sammy gave me his e-mail address. I shot off a few e-mails on a revolver in question and John wrote back promptly and precisely. Had to get a few pictures ...
Ayoob Files.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... I just finished reading Ayoob's piece in Handgunner on "Dag" (Ayoob Files, Sept/Oct). It brings to mind the aphorism "The more things change, the more they remain the same." Well written and insightful. The "Anti's" have been at it for almost 500 ...
Wants more Zastavas.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE, PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... I have always appreciated Handgunner for all of the right reasons. It's straightforward, informative, politically incorrect, and most of all has great ads with beautiful women. I direct your attention to the EAA ad on page 39 of the September/October issue about their Zastavas pistols. Do ...
Cylinder & Slide.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... The 45 ACP Colt M1903 ("Cylinder & Slide's .45 ACP 1903," Sept/Oct) is simply fascinating! I would buy one if it could be manufactured and sold at a reasonable price. I don't think silver soldering parts together would be a practical way to manufacture this gun in quantity. I would bet if ...
Kalifornia nonsense.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... The magazine is always great! I object to the policy of most of the main stream gun maker, s selling guns to law enforcement that are prohibited to citizens of California and favoring law enforcement over "the people." We either hang together or we hang separately. Please encourage these ...
Ruger LCP.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... I was very disappointed to see the test of the Ruger LCP in your latest issue ("Ruger's LCP," Sept/Oct). This was the third article I've read singing the praises of this little gun. It seems with the publication of each test the LCP gets harder to find. I've been on two dealers waiting ...
Tussey visit.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... I have thanked you before for your support of our friend Terry Tussey of Tussey Custom, and I must say you were very kind to the fellows who wrote in to comment on his hospitality upon their impromptu visit (Speak Out, Sept/Oct). Obviously, these poor guys were either lost or on a mission, ...
New shooters.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... After reading Sammy Reese's article (Carry Options, Sept/Oct) I wanted to write to you about a program I have employed with great success. Every so often I will place an ad on Craigslist, or make an offer to the people I go to church with, work with, or go to school with, to take anyone ...
Ruger rocks.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008; ... I just finished reading two articles in the Sep/Oct issue by John Taffin ("Ruger's Evolutionary SR9" and "Ruger's LCP"). A very good explanation on the first striker fired handgun made by Ruger and how it functions. The amino tests and grouping info was very helpful also. ...
Caution.(SPEAK OUT: YOUR FORUM TO PONTIFICATE PONDER AND PROBE)(Letter to the editor)
Nov 01, 2008 ... In reference to Chick Blood's article "Trigger Jobs In A Jar" (July/Aug, 2008), Brownells had this concern: "While we all know gunsmiths use abrasice stones to smooth a trigger, and ...
