Defensive Holster Tips. Having worn a defensive handgun virtually every day for over 40 years, I hope you'll understand that I have some pretty firmly set ideas about defensive holsters.
To begin with, they should be made of the very best material so that they don't quickly get out of shape and fail to hold the handgun securely. Whether one chooses to use leather or a polymer material is irrelevant; the holster should be made to fit the specific model of defensive pistol that one chooses to carry. A holster that almost fits will only almost hold a gun securely. Holsters made of soft nylon or soft, thin leather should be avoided like the plague. I would also suggest that the defensive shooter avoid a safety strap or thumb snap retention device on his carry rig. Another reason to avoid a thumbsnap or safety strap on the defensive holster is that the handgun should be accessible to either hand. Most defensive shooters carry his or her handgun behind the hip bone on their strong side. Hunting, Fishing, Survival, Guns, Gear. Shooting Sports Forum.

The spectacle of the president’s public temper tantrum Wednesday after the defeat of the Senate’s gun control bill is indicative of why the legislation failed.
As one pro-Second Amendment bumper sticker proclaims, “Gun Control Is Not About Guns – It’s About Control.” And there you have it. President Obama couldn’t bully the Senate or control his own party, because there are voters in the states who actually have the willpower to punish senators who break their word on protecting the Second Amendment. Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York couldn’t buy enough senators with his $12 million of "big money" that the left normally rails against. The liberal media couldn’t write the National Rifle Association’s obituary fast or often enough after Newtown to make it be true. Gun owners and Second Amendment supporters understood that today’s 'exemption' from a bill or law becomes tomorrow’s 'loophole.' The Senate bill failed because nothing in the legislation would have prevented another Sandy Hook.
Marlin Model 60 Disassembly. I'd been thinking seriously about a beater .22 during the past couple of squirrel seasons due to worry about getting a scratch on my beautiful, high-dollar Remington 541S.
In March, 2005, I walked in the local pawn shop, and there on the rack leaned the Marlin Model 60 you see in the photo above. It was equipped with the Tasco 4X, 1" tube rifle scope shown. In other words, ready for the squirrel woods. A look through a loupe at the rifling just below the muzzle crown showed zero cleaning rod wear. The rifle had one little rust spot on the barrel and a couple of small dings in the stock. After zeroing the scope, I checked it for accuracy and function. I decided to take it apart to clean it and to check for internal wear. For the purpose of this tutorial I have listed the Brownells name and retail price for each part.
