Diamondback 9

Great news. I have just laid eyes on a new and exciting ccw pistol. Diamondback Arms DB9 11oz .80 wide. I have carried a DB 380 for about 8 months. I must say the 9 mm will be replacing the 380. Good news also is the laser that I bought from Crimson Trace for my Diamondback 380 will fit right on the Diamondback DB9 the Pocket Protector in 9mm will make a Police officer or legal CCW carrier of 9mm an exccellent option that will utilize the same ammunition. I have ordered a pistol for testing, but if this firearm works as good as my Diamondback DB380 has I will be recommending an even more concealable 9mm than I have previously encountered. The ergonomics of the DB380 are the best of class in that the small pistols that shoot 380. I am making an educated guess that the size of the DB9 will be making its presence known with a little more umph, but I will be able to judge better after a trip to the range. Looking forward to the most concealable 9mm i have ever encountered. And I forgot.... The one I saw has night sights.

New and Exciting at SHOT

At SHOT Show and am excited about several new products. My favorite AR Company CMMG, has a new Accessory, As of yet un-named for Quick detach attach of barrel assembly from The AR. It removes both the gas tube and barrel with a throw lever. a very positive locking lu. This coud be extremely useful for special applications. I am thinking also of the urban dweller that finds nosy neighbors as he heads out to the range. If you do not advertise what is in your house when you are out, nosy neighbors are less likely to break in and steal what you have.

Expanding the Shooting Universe

It seems at least as daunting a task to get certain groups of other humans to grow a spark of shooting interest.  I have been whittling away at the "little woman" to go shooting for a good while. 

She went deer hunting with me once when we were dating, but that is another story when we get closer to deer season.  She was pro-gun all along, even joining in a pro-gun rally during the dark nineties.  If she were not pro-gun she would not have met the qualifications to be Mrs. Gunlovingjohn.  Being pro-gun did not mean she needed to shoot, just that she recognized their intrinsic worth.

After 12 years of solo trips to the gun range, I cajoled her into going to a match last year.  She met some good people (called shooters) and has since became one of the newest, and might I add the prettiest, members of the gun culture. 

I could go on, but she can tell the transition from a passive to active member of the gun culture a lot better than I.  The other evening I took her out for a nice dinner and pitched the idea of a firearm blog from a "girly girl's" point of view.  She got that spark in her eyes!  I gave her a name, the Pretty Pistolera.   Well, she has expanded the shooting universe.

The Glock 26 is the 9MM sub-compact chosen for carry by GLJ.  Ten plus one rounds of 9mm in a small, yet well manageable, package.  In this portion of the class where I discuss IWB (Inside the Waist Band) the holster used is a custom IWB Holster. The sights are Truglo TFO Tritium Fiber Optics for quick sight aquisition whether the sun shines on the range or the dark evening brings out the miscreants.
