Does that thing have a grip safety? I believe the EZ do. Just watched a video on the 380 version. It has a locked action while most 380 are straight blowback. That is part of the reason why so easy to rack the slide. |

Picked it up today.  I picked up my M2.0 yesterday at Cabela’s. Ordered it online Tuesday. Came in Friday. Other than the 2 hours I spent in store picking it up, it went off smoothly. Now if I could only find some ammo for it. |

Does that thing have a grip safety? Yes it has a grig safety along with regular one. This is something the wife is also going to carry in her purse or car. She felt more comfortable with the manual safety and the fact that it is easy to rack the slide. If it were going to be for me only I would have went with something just a tad smaller. Sig 365 or Glock 43X, she could rack these but struggled with both. She still likes the prissy looking 38 snub nose revolver I carry but the recoil scares her. |

I like a grip safety.

Spent some time on the range today. The new EZ shoots really nice. She shot both the 9mm EZ & 38 revolver. It ends up the wife likes the 38 snub nose better. Doesn't matter to me as long as she's comfortable with it.  |

I sure prefer revolvers over semi auto pistols. I like the reliability and simplicity of a revolver. I also think I can shoot them more accurately. Yep...they dont have the firepower of a high capacity auto loader. I own several small frame 38 / 357 revolvers.....and my favorite as a cc gun would be a Ruger with CT laser site. I can actually hit something with it due to the laser. I am a terrible hand gun shooter. I do not carry on a regular basis.....and really do not practice much. I keep a few guns as car guns.......and I dont plan to carry any for self defense.....but you never know when the winds change these days.
On another gun note......I own a Henry Single-Shot rifle in 308. Bought it when they first came out last year. Beautiful gun......but had an absolutely bogus trigger. Huge disappointment. EVERYONE that bought one was disappointed with the trigger pull and many fail to fire issues. I got the hammer pull / trigger pull issues somewhat fixed.....only to have some fail to fire issues due to light primer strikes. I did not think I could take the gun into a deer stand for fear of a FTF.
Just weeks ago......Henry did a recall on these otherwitse beautiful guns over the trigger issues and some other safety concern. I sent my rifle to them......and they did the needed repairs......and now this gun has a fantastic 3 lb trigger pull and an acceptable hammer pull too. Nice to see a company take care of their product issues. I could HIGHLY recommend a Henry Single Shot rifle for hunting now. Now a GREAT gun.....and they are a short, accurate, AFFORDABLE, rifle that would be very safe to operate and suitable for youth or a woman or anyone liking a compact , easy to carry, gun. Several calibers available.

 Here’s a pic of the M2.0 I mentioned earlier. It’s unfortunate I lost it in a boating accident two days ago. |

Been looking / thinking about one of those Henry .410 "short shotguns".....called "the AXE". I think these are nearly ideal for a self defense gun.....and you likely would hit what your shooting at. Very similar to a Mares Leg....but in .410. Talk about firepower!.....lever action and six shots of buckshot or man stopping ammo in a compact package! Side gate loading to "top off" the magazine. Pretty good for a grouse gun too. What is not to like? I will add the name when I remember it. Duh

Yes Mr ATF agent, I did used to buy and own guns. I have none to confiscate or tax though as they sank when the boat capsized. We didn't have a fish finder or GPS to mark the location but we did go back with a magnet on a rope. Well over 100' deep in spots! Sure wish I could have sold them to my buddy and got some money out of them but he lost his guns in the same boating accident also.  |

Question for you nine millimeter guys, what are your thoughts of what occurred in Kenosha? The guy was shot 7 times in the back with what I am guessing is a nine millimeter and did not die.
Currently I shoot a 40 but was thinking of going to a nine millimeter carry gun but this has me hesitating. If most encounters are less than 10' apart seems knock down power would be more important than capacity.

Currently I shoot a 40 but was thinking of going to a nine millimeter carry gun but this has me hesitating. If most encounters are less than 10' apart seems knock down power would be more important than capacity. What I read tells me that all common handgun rounds are pretty darn close in lethality. Unless you are shooting full power .357, maybe 10mm, or above, they are all pretty close. I don't think it matters. People get shot and live all the time. I've never shot anybody with a pistol, and I hope I never do. |
