SIG SAUER P365 MICRO-COMPACT 9MM PISTOL
POSTED BY JOHN BOCH Share On Facebook
Most everyone has pretty much the same list of wants in a concealed carry gun. People want a small and light gun, with a good trigger, good sights and a decent capacity. If it shoots well and comfortably on top of all that, well, that’s just a bonus.
It’s akin to wanting your delicious gourmet pizza, fast and cheap, too. It’s easy to want everything, but reality usually gets in the way.
Not any more. At least when it comes to the CCW gun. As for the pizza? That’s another story.
SIG released their new P365 earlier this year to pretty much rave reviews across the board. Rave reviews, however, should be taken with a grain of salt, as many ravely reviewed the original Remington R51. And we all know how that turned out.
The good people at C.I. Shooting Sports in Normal, IL wanted me to try the new SIG. Like many indoor ranges, they have quite a fleet of rental guns you can shoot on their indoor range, including a lot of hot-selling, new guns. And “try before you buy” is never a bad thing.
They put one in my hand right away. It’s almost as if they wanted me to anger my lovely bride by letting another orphaned gun follow me home. Was it really as good as what the salesman said? Was it really “game changing” as the gun rags are seemingly so quick to write about every new offering that comes with an advertising contract?
This gun is better (exclamation point). And nobody gave me a testing and evaluation copy before I wrote this. Or an ad contract.
The P365 embodies everything concealed carriers want most. It’s smaller than most single-stack 9mm pistols, specifically the GLOCK 43, S&W’s SHIELD, Springfield XDs-9 and the Ruger LC9. I’ve shot all four of those, too, and the P365 has a better trigger and is more comfortable to shoot.

With a capacity of 10+1, you’re also carrying more bubble gum than those aforementioned single-stacks. Because if you don’t have enough bubble gum to go around when things go south, you’re in real trouble. 12-round magazines with about a quarter-inch longer baseplate are available for a cool $48.99 if
WOW.......🤦🏻♂️ Dick's Sporting Goods will destroy the assault-style weapons it didn't sell Laura M. Holson Published 4:56 PM ET Wed, 18 April 2018 The New York Times A customer looks at guns at a Dick's Sporting Goods Inc. store in Paramus, New Jersey. Victor J. Blue | Bloomberg | Getty Images A customer looks at guns at a Dick's Sporting Goods Inc. store in Paramus, New Jersey. Dick's Sporting Goods plans to destroy the assault-style rifles and accessories it agreed to take off its shelves in February instead of returning them to gun manufacturers. It is the latest action taken by the Pennsylvania retailer that agreed to ban the sale of assault-style rifles at its 35 Field & Stream stores, and to stop selling firearms and ammunition to anyone younger than 21. Since the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in February that left 17 students and staff members dead, corporations have quickly responded to the public's growing demand for responsible gun control measures. Several retailers agreed to stop selling firearms to consumers younger than 21. Among them are Walmart, the nation's largest gun seller; L.L. Bean; and Kroger, which said it would restrict gun sales at its Fred Meyer stores. Walmart also agreed to stop selling toys online that look like assault-style rifles. And Kroger announced in March that it would stop selling "assault-rifle themed periodicals." "It's a very good barometer of where the public stands," said John Feinblatt, the president of Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit organization that seeks to end gun violence. "Corporations tend to reflect their customers." The news that Dick's Sporting Goods would destroy the weapons was first reported last week in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. A spokesman told the paper that the company was in the process of destroying the firearms and accessories no longer for sale, "in accordance with federal guidelines and regulations."

Taurus USA to open $22.5M manufacturing plant in Georgia Pro-shooter Jessie Duff was a popular attraction at the Taurus booth during SHOT Show 2018 in Las Vegas. Gun maker Taurus USA announced Thursday an agreement with the state of Georgia to open a manufacturing facility in the Peach State. The $22.5 million investment will create 300 jobs in Bainbridge, a town located near the Florida border and about 40 miles from Tallahassee. ADVERTISEMENT State officials celebrated the agreement and state Gov. Nathan Deal praised the “business-friendly climate” they created for attracting the company. “With this investment, Taurus USA is highlighting some of the economic development assets available in the Bainbridge area, while also creating meaningful employment opportunities for the community,” Deal said. “We welcome Taurus USA to Georgia, and we look forward to seeing how our highly skilled workforce will help the company grow and maintain its competitive edge.” Pat Wilson, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development, called the move “not only a win for the community, but for the region.” He added that in addition to the “thriving pro-business environment,” that Taurus will benefit from the “unmatched logistics network.” According to federal data, Taurus, which also owns brands Rossi and Heritage, is one of the largest handgun makers in the country and manufactured approximately 130,000 firearms in 2016. The company will join other industry heavyweights in Georgia like Glock Inc in Smyrna and Daniel Defense in Black Creek. Taurus chief executive and president David Blenker described the plan as part of a long-term growth strategy. “The ability to expand operations is critical for our U.S. business. This new facility will meet our demanding needs to increase production with the skilled workforce Georgia has to offer,” he said. The new 200,000-square-foot facility will offer 180,000 square-feet manufacturing space and 20,000 square feet of administrative space. The company will hire new staff, including laborers, admin, customer service and management. Construction will begin in
•••••• ALERT ••••••• Smith & Wesson issues advisory on M&P 380 Shield EZ models with manual thumb safeties The advisory targets M&P 380 Shield EZ models with manual thumb saftey An alert issued by Smith & Wesson warns that in some rare cases the thumb safety can move from the fire to the “safety on” position during firing. The situation, the company cautions, would make the user’s handgun unable to fire until the manual safety is reset to the fire position and the phenomena have been reported by some using ammunition with a “high level of felt recoil.” Guns produced before April 4 are eligible for a free upgrade using a thumb safety that the company says is “less susceptible to the influence of ammunition weight, velocity and loads.” To take advantage of the upgrade, Smith & Wesson is asking those with M&P 380 Shield EZ models with manual thumb safeties made before the affected date to call 1-800-331-0852 or email the company at MP380EZAdvisory@Smith-Wesson.com. A FedEx return label will be sent out to return the handgun to the factory at no charge. In the same advisory, Smith also reminds users of EZ models not to use +P, +P+, or reloaded ammunition in their gun.

The Wiley Clapp Ruger GP100 Revolver Engineers make things work. But making them work best for a given application generally falls to those who have end-user experience. From this perspective, we can all be grateful for the partnership between longtime gun writer Wiley Clapp and distributor TALO. Starting with the successful 21st Century Commander, a lightweight .45, Clapp has designed a series of Colt 1911s as well as a 3-inch-barreled Ruger revolver in .357 Magnum. Available with either a stainless or matte blued finish, the Wiley Clapp .357 is based on Ruger’s heavy-duty GP100 frame and features robust Novak fixed sights, user-friendly contouring and wooden grip inserts with Clapp’s trademark “fingerprint” checkering. Before we get into what makes it his own, a few words are in order about Ruger and the GP100. Many shooters who only know Ruger’s current product line may not realize how influential the company is. Both its first gun, the Mark III .22 LR pistol (introduced somewhat uncannily as the “Standard Model”) and the later 10/22 rifle are industry standards, as evidenced by the fact that other companies manufacture clones of both guns. Ruger’s Single-Six, the first of its single-action revolvers, was introduced in 1953 when TV Westerns and movies had made cowboy-style firearms popular again. 😎 Please Stop in and visit us at Big Dog Arms in Roscoe ,NY - We are Easy to get to,right off exit 94 on Route 17 - come in and experience our world class customer service and our incredible knowledge of firearms , you won't be disappointed I assure you #bigdogarms #bigdog #gunstore #firearms #gunsforsale #guns #sullivancounty #nygundealer #canecorso #italianmastiff #lovemydog #canecorso #canecorsoitaliano #gladiator #firstpost #mybaby #gungirl #gunshopping #rockstar #handsome #moviestar #customerservice #experience #funnymemes #funny #gunsnroses #sexy #leveraction #holster #45 #glock
State urges banks, insurers to stop doing biz with gun industry BY GLENN BLAIN NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, April 18, 2018, 12:01 AM NYC PAPERS OUT. Social media use restricted to low res file max 184 x 128 pixels and 72 dpi The Cuomo administration is warning banks and insurers of the "reputational risk" they face for doing business with the gun industry. (JEFFERSON SIEGEL/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS) ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo’s administration is urging banks and insurance companies in New York to reconsider any ties they have to the gun industry, the Daily News has learned. In letters to be sent as early as Wednesday, the state’s top financial services regulator warns banks and insurers of the “reputational risk” they incur by doing business with the National Rifle Association and the gun industry. The letter from Department of Financial Services Superintendent Maria Vullo does not threaten to impose any penalties on institutions that maintain ties with the gun industry, but notes the public outcry that followed the recent shooting rampage at a high school in Parkland, Fla. 😎 Please Stop in and visit us at Big Dog Arms in Roscoe ,NY - We are Easy to get to,right off exit 94 on Route 17 - come in and experience our world class customer service and our incredible knowledge of firearms , you won't be disappointed I assure you #bigdogarms #bigdog #gunstore #firearms #gunsforsale #guns #sullivancounty #nygundealer #canecorso #italianmastiff #lovemydog #canecorso #canecorsoitaliano #gladiator #firstpost #mybaby #gungirl #gunshopping #rockstar #handsome #moviestar #customerservice #experience #funnymemes #funny #gunsnroses #sexy #leveraction #holster #45 #glock

Folks....THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE WITH OUR RIGHTS ..... Columnist Vows to 'Leave or Go to Jail' if Colorado City Bans 'Assault' Rifles One Boulder, Colorado, columnist is vowing to “leave or go to jail” as his city prepares to vote next month on a bill to ban “assault weapons.” The Boulder City Council will soon vote on a gun-control law introduced in the wake of the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed and more than a dozen were injured. The gunman used an AR-15-style rifle. Here's what Jon Caldara wrote: As a result of the legislation, Caldara, a Boulder native and a columnist for The Denver Post, said his city will soon classify him “as a criminal” if he doesn’t move or surrender many of his guns. “[M]y roots are deep in my hometown,” he wrote. “But to be who I am, to be true to my values I hold dear, I must choose to leave or go to jail.” Caldara went on to claim his city, which he called a “place for hate,” has “done nothing to understand the culture and values of gun owners and little to understand much more than the cosmetic aspects of guns,” noting it would be “easier” to come out as gay than a gun owner in his town.
MAN SHOOTS ARMADILLO AND RICOCHETED BULLET HITS MOTHER-IN-LAW Awwwww for CHRIST SAKE A man shoots and kills an armadillo, but the bullet seemingly had a mind of its own. This is one you don’t hear every day. Larry McElroy, a 54-year-old, shot his 9mm pistol at an armadillo. His shot hit the mark and killed the animal. Then things went awry. WALB.com, South Georgia News, Weather, Sports The bullet ricocheted off the animal, continued through a fence and traveled nearly 100 yards before hitting the mother-in-law’s mobile home. That bullet continued through the back door, then through a reclining chair. That was when the bullet entered 74-year-old Carol Johnson’s back. Carol Johnson luckily was not seriously injured and was treated at Phoebe North Hospital. Authorities are not pressing charges. They do however recommend using traps or a shorter range shotgun when faced with armadillo problems. In other words, always be careful and follow all safety protocols when shooting at anything.
