A little XD mod
I identify myself as a .45 person. I appreciate physics and I like making big holes. That said, I'm practical. While I routinely tease my 9mm friends, I recognize quantity has a quality all of its own: More holes, which drove my shift to double stack carry. The 13+1 capacity of my XDm is a good star...

Re: A Levergun on the "Top Ten Trunk Guns" list
I guess I don't get the specifics of "trunk gun." I suppose, since it's locked away, it's not a personal defense weapon, but'cept for the first one. The fail I see is that where I live I cannot have a loaded rifle or shotgun in the car where I can access it. So BIG FAIL if I NEED a gun fo...

You bring up a lot of issues, but most of them are based on what people are used to or their perception of things.

Re: .300 Blackout or .357
Is it it a capacity thing? Because 30-30 is virtually .300blk and more common, especially if you're already considering a levergun. But if the 357 vs 300 is the thing, then I'm going to go with 300. Logic as follows: Rossi . It's realistically your only option if you're looking at a 357 truck gun. I...
