Hi-Points and Kimbers -028

January 2nd, 2009 by Mark Vanderberg | No Comments | Filed in Podcast

I took a lot of heat for some things I said about Hi-Point pistols back in Episode 25, and some criticisms were right on. Now while my opinion of Hi-Points stands, I did reconsider some things, sorted out why I feel the way I do, etc. But really, the most important things are… First, realize that my opinions are NOT a review and that my opinion isn’t worth any more than somebody else’s. We all know what opinions are like, and everybody’s got one, right along with two knees, etc. Second, if a Hi-Point is your pistol of choice, that’s ok. They work just fine, which is the most important feature of a defense firearm, and by all accounts they are accurate enough for self defense purposes.

Remember, I love to talk about the difference between theoretical and practical accuracy, and the latter is far more important.

Aside from that, I talk about the Mateba Auto-Revolver, some gunsmithing I had done on my carry pistol, cleaning vs. maintenance, and then I wax philosophic on what a pistol starts life as and becomes in our hands.

Eric made some mistakes in armed carry this week and caught/realized them before any mistakes with lasting consequences were made. Let’s consider our carry for a bit and try to avoid these situations.

There are no links for this episode due to Eric having a problem with an upgrade on his laptop that disabled his entire machine. In the process of fixing it he has lost all of his bookmarks and settings. We were just lucky enough that he had already uploaded this episode to the FTP to be processed before posting.

We do hope you enjoy this episode and remember made sure you join the NRA this month. There is a new link on the website that will allow you to save $10 off your first annual membership.

Handguns for Southpaws - 025

December 12th, 2008 by Eric Shelton | 1 Comment | Filed in Podcast

This episode wanders all over the place, from customer service satisfaction with Kimber, to the handgun I truly loathe.  I also spend some time thanking all the listeners for taking responsibility for themselves and joining the NRA.  Finally, 3 handguns I think would work well for a left-handed shooter, and all at different price points.

This is what happens when I draw a complete blank for a show topic for the week- Man on the Street interviews!  It would up being pretty interesting to me and got me thinking.  I hope you guys enjoy it and find it as eye-opening as I did.
