Saw this on the Today Show this morning. Interesting...

Company Invents Gun That Folds Up to Look Like a Cellphone

 
Ride Safe,
Fired00d
 

That's just gonna give the TSA something new to freak out about...

[Road Dad]

Really?
Guess law enforcement is not your profession.

If you hold your iPhone like a gun you probably deserve to be shot.

[Miss Susan]

The shootin'll be over by the time the cops get there.  Us "hillbillies" don't call 911.      Later--HUBBARD

I'm glad I ride with youns hillbillies. Now I know why I feel so safe. Just for the record 357 by the front door, .22 pistol & rifle by the bed and a Glock 27.  Helps keep Shrader in line when I telloops ask him to do something.

Hmm not a real bright idea. Easy to conceal as a cellphone yes, but now the cops has a reason to shot you while you are holding your IPhone.

Shouldn't be an issue if you are obeying the LEO's instructions upon approach and or apprehension. This my friend is where 90 plus percent of the confrontation begins and then escalates.

[Road Dad]

Was not concerned about me being shoot. I really don't have a concern with law enforcement since I have been part of it for a very long time.

[110tHunDer]

Oh, you mean you shouldn't hold your iPhone by its imaginary grip and point the headphone jack at the officer?

[Road Dad]

Get back to me after you been in a gunfight and let me know how it went.

Yet another good reason to stick with Android phones. 


Went searching for the elusive Glock 43 today. Everyone around here is out of stock and don't know when they'll get one in. Looked real hard at a Sig p938 but it doesn't come with anything. Gun, 1 mag and a plastic box. They're proud of that plastic box. Also looked at a Kimber solo until the salesman was telling me that they can be fussy with ammo. Back to the Glock search. They go bang when you squeeze the trigger and are not fussy about ammo. I normally carry a G23 so the grip angle and sight lines will be the same as what I shoot now.

Certain stores can keep 43s in stock around here and other stores can't.  I came close to getting one a couple of weeks ago just because it was there, but I'll stick with my 42 for the time-being.  Love the size of that gun and how it shoots, just hate the price of .380 ammo vs. 9mm.

Exactly why I'm waiting on the 43. Initially considered a 380 for the wife until I saw the price difference in ammo. We found her and XD she felt comfortable with so that one is hers.

I love the P938 as a summer carry.  Got one because is is so much like a 1911, which is my gun of choice.  Just not so easy to conceal in the summer on a bike.  It being so much like a 1911 is why I like it same grip angle.

I do not do well with Glock due to grip angle is so different from a 1911.  I do much better with XD's due to the grip angle also closer to a 1911.

My oldest daughter just got a XD-S 3.3 in .40 for carry.

I looked hard at a 938 today. New one, one mag, plastic box and paperwork for $615. Just seemed to have trouble getting my finger inside of the trigger guard. Would have to be one of those guns I'd need a few hundred rounds through it to get used to it. Liked the size of it but like I stated earlier, not much for the price although that one was about $80 lower than most of the other shops around here. I'm still thinking the Colt Defender with the factory installed Hogue grips on it but have yet to come across anyone that's owned one or shot one.

Now if Springfield made an XD that size, I'd be all over it. Love shooting the wife's 4" 9mm.

I have one of the original XD-40 in 4" before they came out with the XDM's and XD's.  I have over 4000 rounds through it with never an issue.  I'm thinking hard about adding the XDS 40.  I like that round.  My P938 is my only 9mm.  My wife has a P238, she had really wanted the LCP or BodyGuard.  So she tried all three at the range and saw the Sig was a more fun gun to shoot and easier on her hand.  She is now really liking my P938, so that may help with an excuse to get the XDs-40

That XD she has is the Mod2. Just newer grips I think.

Many individuals are searching for a nice firearm for wife, daughter, sister etc.. some wanting 40 S&W and it is all about weight, grip comfort and feel in the hand prior to discharging the weapon, then recoil and nose flip.

The pistol should feel nice in the hand to be comfortable that is why I think a H&K P30 and P30L and Walther PPQ M2 due to their ADJUSTABLE grips and weight are options for women that are often over looked.

Not pushing gun sales here, I have seen too many people purchase a H&K Pistol, not knowing which variant to BUY and PURCHASE the wrong one, then get on the internet and trash the H&K trigger system. Walther has streamlined the selection process, so a novice can't make any mistakes with regards to variants the PPQ M2 has a smooth trigger.

I prefer H&K because it handles the recoil a tad better and the grip has adjustable side panels and back straps.

For me, and only me these are my 2 top picks for the ladies in 40 S&W, actually 9mm would be the same.
