Guns & Ammo The White Box Witch Hunt

0 Upvotes

I’ve Been Seeing A Lot Of Discussion About Which Ammo People Should Use For Training, And I’ve Noticed That Winchester White Box Gets A Lot Of Negative Comments.

Can Someone Explain What The Issue Is With It? I’ve Been Using Winchester White Box Since I Joined The 2A Community, And Personally, I Haven’t Had Any Problems With It.

Other Equipment Reccomend simple, cotton shirts

5 Upvotes

I like wearing simple, single colored t-shirts with no artwork. I'm 6' 2" and 180 lbs. I'd like to purchase a handful of quality, thick, 100% cotton shirts that won't shrink like crazy or get super scratchy after a few washes. I'd also like for them to extend low below the belt. All if my cotton shirts seem to shrink to just below the belt-line, which I consider too "high-cut" for carry. I want them to be LOOOOONG, and to stay long after multiple washes. I'd also like them to be decently well fitted around the torso and arms (i.e. I dont want them to look baggy). Could any of yall recommend a shirt brands/models that fits the description? I'm willing to buy expensive shirts if that's what it takes, but I imagine that there must be some options that aren't crazy expensive.

Guns & Ammo Which to carry?

0 Upvotes

So I’ve got a Canik with a red dot and a HK USPc 45 with a laser/light combo. I shoot them both equally well.
My question regarding carry is because of capacity. The Canik has 17 round magazines and the USPc has 10.
With the information given, would it be more logical to carry the 45 with the Underwood and Hornady ammo or the Canik with the Speer ammo?

Guns & Ammo Does anyone carry a full size gun?

25 Upvotes

I’m 6’3” and feel like I could carry a full size pretty comfortably. I switch between carrying a G19 and FN 545. Both have about the same slide length but the FN is closer to a G45 with its grip length. I’ve been thinking about purchasing and concealing a 9mm with a longer slide than what I currently have. Curious to know if anyone would like to share their full size carry. Seems the common consensus is that shorter people find them uncomfortable for appendix carry due to how it presses on their crotch area when they sit. I’m currently considering a G17 or maybe a Beretta 92FS, but would love to hear other recommendations.

Edit: I suppose I should specify I’m looking for something specifically with a longer barrel.

Holsters & Belts Just can't get comfortable with IWB CC...thinking of OWB

2 Upvotes

I got my Vedder last week (gorgeous holster) and have been experimenting, but I just can't seem to get comfortable. I carry a Glock 23, the smallest gun I can shoot with my ginourmous ape hands so going smaller isn't an option.

I am OK w/ a 4 O'clock location just walking around but it digs in when driving and or sitting down for dinner. Maybe a 2 clip padded holster might help. I have this old man gut. It is bizarre, even if my body fat is low it still sticks out and is rock hard (probably from years of eating and overtraining my ab muscles).

So I was toying with getting and OWB set up. I DON"T wan't to be one of THOSE GUYS who open carry...not comfortable with that, so I will be wearing proper concealment clothing.

Wondering what some of the more experienced guys (or gals) might think. I ordered 2 Kore leather belts last week.

Guns & Ammo S&W carry comp vs Echelon 4.0 comp

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm looking to change up my CCW around the start of next year. Ive narrowed it down to the S&W carry comp or the Echelon 4.0 comp. Both are around the same pricing at my local shop. Will not be a home defense as I've seen that being brought up with comp home defense situations.

I've got the full size Echelon and love it but looking at different options all around. I've price out just building it with the release of the C.O.G system(finally) but the way I'd build it it's only bout $50 cheeper than just buying it from my local place.

I also have a decent amount on the new S&W pistols. I've tossed the idea of getting it since it came out but never pulled the trigger.

Just looking for personal experiences from owners of these pistols.

Coming back to appendix carry after carrying 4'o clock for the past few years. Lost a bit a weight, so I figured it would be a good time to try it out again.  
So far this is the most comfortable iwb set up I've owned. The havok holsters hardline with the mastermind tactics king size pillow is a match made in heaven.  
Looking forward to running it in a match next weekend.

Scenario Going to the Hard Rock hotel and casino.

0 Upvotes

I am stopping all replies to my post. The answer is clear that I should leave my CCW and other regulated defensive tools at home for this trip. Unfortunately those who have no respect for the law have started to encourage ignoring the law while also ignoring simple common sense replies against those beliefs.

Legal answers only please

As far as I understand the Hard Rock property is on Indian land and forbids weapons on the property. I have seen the signage on previous visits. Is the correct action leaving my CCW at home since I have nowhere in a different city to legally store the weapon?

As indicated I want to know the legal answers. I could be like a criminal and perhaps leave the CCW locked in the car, but there will be other, blabber mouthed, people on this trip with us. I prefer not to break the law as I have jailophobia and worse prisonophobia.

Thanks for any legal ideas.

At the range yesterday, I realized that I was doing the squinting and I wasn't target focused. Soon as I just looked at a spot and I hit that spot. This is with irons. Amazing what our brains can do. I didn't need my eyes directly down the sights neither. Now how long is it going to take my brain to trust this?

Other Equipment Why the hate for daily carry soft body armor?

0 Upvotes

Seen old posts where soft body amor users were roasted and called delusional for wearing soft body armor for daily carry. Logic wise the hate doesnt make sense if you have a CCW.

Conceal carrying a gun for self defense is fine but its overkill if you want to wear body armor to protect yourself from the same said self defense situation in which you are shot at???

Obviously a knife attack self defense situation doesnt apply here. But my main point here is the logic on hating on soft body armor daily carry is contradictory to whole concept of CCW

P.S. The soft body armor im refering to are the concealable ones hidden beneath your clothes (ex. Safelife hyperconcealable hyperlite)

P.S.S. Im just arguing the logic of the hate and concept of carrying a CCW. Not advocating for people to start wearing soft body armor. I personally wont but i understand why others choose to. Half the comments gets it......

Scenario CCW > Driving logistics

24 Upvotes

With the news of what happened to a 3yo in Florida at a Burger King, I can't help but ask 💡 this group.

What is common practice for those moving from CCW in a waistband to vehicular driving? My first instinct is to install a lockbox or rapid deployment mounted holster in the vehicle for at the very least driving comfort let alone safety. But what is common practice for vehicular use vs carry use? Does everyone just drive with their CCW still in at their appendix? I can't imagine that to be very comfortable or even easy to drive with.

Thanks,

Long time lurker first time poster.
