The wife and I both have carry permits, and I am much more comfortable when she is out and about when I am at work and I know she has a way to defend herself and my 3 sons.

I have a savage shotgun and a Smith and Wesson 3914. I love my little lady smith. I don't have the biggest hands, since its compact it fits perfectly.

Surprised the liberals haven't hijacked the thread yet[emoji23] anyways great thread, and nice guns!
Here is my intro from another site I posted this on. This is the complete thread.
http://www.longislandfirearms.com/forum/topic/145533-cleaning-after-saltwater-bath/
With the exception of my Saiga my firearms sat under a bed for several years in the same room as a very large saltwater fish system. During this time I had several plumbing issues giving my firearms a few saltwater baths. A few of my rifles were in a soft case that absorbed water others were in a storage bin that got a lot of water in it.

After. I dont have close ups but it came out pretty good. I used Amish Milk wood cleaner (or something like that), WD40, Naval Jelly and some basic all in one cleaner. It came out so nice I even took out a flag for the pictures.

It's not bad. I have the M&P full size .40 and the Shield in .40. My fav pistol is the CZ P-09 Duty, but my fav 3-gun pistol is the G21. I own a Remington R1 1911 and the G21 just magically lines up my hand with the target, even at 25yds. :)

Pick up a rental (or borrow a friends), hold it, shoot at least 100rds through it then see if you like it or not. Sub-compacts are love or hate, way more than compacts or full-size frames. Even if there are small quirks with you may find it's the best fitting SC for your hand and drawing it comes naturally. I can't stand the way the Shield .40 I CC shoots or sits in my hand as stock, but I added a pachmayr glove on it and it feels and draw great from my IWB holster.

New executive order. Looks like some people here are in trouble ;)
http://abcnews.com.co/obama-signs-executive-order-limiting-us-gun-owners-to-three-guns/
WASHINGTON — In a move that promises to permanently transform the political landscape in the United States, President Obama has signed Executive Order 13752, an order which will radically change the way the United States regulates all weapons. President Obama claims that his authority to draft this order comes from the second amendment: “If you look at the second amendment, you’ll see that it says that ‘a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state.’ Well, when I see kids getting shot at school and people gunning down their coworkers, I don’t see a well-regulated militia. I don’t see a state that is secure in its freedom. I see a nation in crisis. I see a country in desperate need of reform. If you want to exercise your right to bear arms, that’s fine, but if you want to do that, you should be ready and able to defend your country at a moment’s notice.”

Under the new law, nearly every gun in the U.S. will be required to be registered. There are exceptions for single and double barrel shotguns, single shot and double barrel hunting rifles, black powder guns, and any gun made before 1932. No U.S. citizen will be allowed to have more than three guns registered to them at any time. Possession of an unregistered firearm, expect those exempted from registration, will be a felony that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years in federal prison. States that refuse to enforce the new laws will lose federal highway and Medicaid funding.
In addition to requiring firearm registration, all citizens who wish to own or possess a weapon will be required to obtain a gun operator’s license. Two licenses will be available. A class one license will grant its owner the legal right to purchase and possess firearms which do not require registration; they will also be allowed use a friend’s registered weapon or rent a registered weapon from a licensed shooting range, provided that they handle the weapon under the supervision of a class two license holder. In order to obtain a class one license, the individual must undergo a criminal background and mental health screening and complete a three day, government approved gun safety course. In order to obtain a class two license, the individual must commit to at least one weekend per month of military training and must be prepared to mobilize in case of a national emergency. The class two license will allow them to register up to three weapons for personal use. When not in use, the weapons and ammunition must be locked in separate, government approved cabinets. All ammunition sales, even those for unregistered weapons, will be registered in a national database, and strict limits will be placed on how much ammunition can be purchased. The limits vary depending on the type of ammunition.
Once the new law is implemented, citizens will have one year to register/surrender their weapons. The government will purchase all surrendered weapons at current retail value. All of the surrendered weapons will be housed in strategically placed bunkers across the U.S. for use by the newly created citizen militia in training exercises and in case of a national emergency.
Also of note in the order is a provision that orders the federal government to assemble a panel which will analyze the effectiveness of current knife regulations, though it does nothing to alter current knife laws.

Executive Order 13752 is not without controversy. National Rifle Association Spokesman Lawrence Ketchum said the organization plans to appeal the order, which he refers to as “Obama gun”, on constitutional grounds and that they were prepared to take the fight to the Supreme Court . He also added that if federal agents attempted to confiscate his weapons he would give them to the agents “bullets first.”
It does not appear that the legal fight over the new executive order will be resolved any time soon. In the meantime, however, it is recommended that all U.S. gun owners begin to prepare themselves for the coming changes. If you are wondering how to register or surrender your weapons, or just want to learn more about the president’s new executive order, you can contact the ATF’s Firearms Registration Division at (202) 642-5720.

Haha, this is more than hilarious and an act of tact towards a cival war. He's doing everything he possibly can to pop the fuse. If this actually becomes a absolutely pointless law, then it should be countered with said that "well-regulated militia" founding principle, requiring ALL citizens to own and register at least ONE firearm and pass a federal training course. LOL. It's racist and total biogtry to only target one group of people within said constitutional citizens' rights, right?

Finally found my wife a Ruger lcp 380. These guns fly off the shelf. Great little gun. I'll get me one for myself when they are back in stock. I wish Obama would shut his mouth so gun sales would slow and we could actually find guns and not have to wait in line just to look at them.
