I have several of each. I enjoy and use both. Mas is always a good read. He knows what he is talking about.

The Ayoob files are invaluable on informing citizens as he delves deep onto the details of a shooting, what was done right, what was done wrong, and great advice.
Quite the visionary on self defense in modern society!

Excellent article, Charlie. Very well done. My recommendation for a new shooter looking for a home defense gun is still a 4” 38 Special revolver. YMMV.

Excellent article, Charlie. Very well done. My recommendation for a new shooter looking for a home defense gun is still a 4” 38 Special revolver. YMMV. A good one to start out on. Still requires practice to master the DA trigger. Years ago, a neighbor emptied a S&W Model 10 at a drug dealer king pin who was in his car. Range about ten feet. All six shots missed the guy. Prime example of not mastering that trigger and DA firing. |

I prefer a striker fired semi-auto, Ruger SR9c as I can shoot it very well, it conceals very well, and I have never had a failure to feed.

You’re not exactly a “new shooter.” ANothe candidate for a starter might be a Keltec PMR-30.

I had an SR9 (not the compact) and it was incredibly reliable as well. I gave it to my brother after he retired and moved back here from another state. Since I had to replace the empty spot in the gun safe, I decided to fill it with another Ruger. It seems I have more 1911s than anything else--and for me it is the most comfortable gun to point and shoot. And they are pretty things too!!!  |

No more dangerous than any other. Having 30 rounds doesn’t mean you have to shoot ‘em all. Low recoil can help make good accurate hits. |

The only ones I have shot didn't suit me. Even my LCP is hammer fired. I don't have any problem with them in theory. My favorite action is the double action/single action auto. I never had any problems with the change in pull. If I'm shooting targets, I simply rooster it. I also prefer double action revolvers. I like having the choice. My New Year's resolution is to actually shoot all of my guns this year. |

Sold them all after my first wife and I started fighting all the time. 2 Colt GCNMs, one Colt 1970 Government, a nickel plated Llama with pearl grips,(the wife's) and a Star. Now I have a Tisas stainless Duty and a Star Model B. |

Is that a Milt Spark’s holster, William?
Sharp looking pistol, and rig!

I aaked because Milt Sparks teamed with Ruger for some holsters, and mag holders and yours looks very similar, both have put out great products.
