This episode starts with a review of the Taurus PT 24/7 DS, 9mm that a listener let me borrow for T&E. Overall, I give this gun high marks. There were some features I didn’t like, but I have to say that this is a very reasonably priced gun that gives you a lot of features and it was very reliable. But I give you my usual unbiased review after shooting over 100 rounds through it. The second half of the show is dedicated to listener emails and questions. I also pick on IDPA a little bit even though I love the sport. This is the last week to take advantage of the drawing for a free admission to the CRG Suarez International Class in Dallas this month. Just invest in my Shooters Club Podcast and I’ll email you your ticket number this weekend. Thanks for listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show

More discussion on rental guns. After going to the range with James Kimmerle, I did an interview with him. We discussed our thoughts about a Glock .357Sig, FN 9mm and Beretta PX4 sub compact 9mm. At the beginning of the show I cover some information on a recent back up gun match I shot with my P380. We also discussed James’ new High Noon Public Secret left handed holster for his PX4. We also spent some time discussing the Tucson shooting and why the anti gunners and media have it all wrong. I also make an announcement about a new fund raising effort for the 2nd Amendment foundation.

Revolvers are a good choice for a self defense handgun. They are not my first choice, but at the request of a listener, I did this show on my experience shooting 2 particular revolvers. James Kimmerle and I went to a range, rented 2 .357 magnum revolvers and we give you our straight talk review on them.

Highlights:

  • Simplicity of the revolver, good or bad?
  • Firing a revolver from a pocket.
  • Capacity of a self defense revolver.
  • Reliability pros and cons.
  • Revolver myth busting.
  • Is 5-6 round capacity enough?
  • Every time you pull the trigger?
  • Cost vs. features.

The SIG P238 seems to be the most popular .380acp autopistol on the market today.   I recently purchased one, so I will give you and open and honest review based on personal experience nothing more, nothing less.  That’s the first half of the show, the second half is about overcoming shooter anxiety and some more listener feedback. I also discuss a little bit about Open Carry.

Highlights:

  • Why I like the SIG P238
  • Why at first I thought it was an expensive mistake.
  • Review of the pistol after 250 rounds in one range session.
  • Why some people get nervous in competition shooting.
  • How to overcome the jitters and nerves.
  • What to do if you’re carjacked at gunpoint.

Diamondback .380acp pocket pistol review.  At the offering of a listener, I met him at a local DFW area shooting range and had the opportunity to shoot this little pocket pistol.  Tune in for my review of it.  From what I was able to research, this is manufactured by the same facility that makes Diamondback Air Boats.  Diamondback Airboats, established in 1989, has built its reputation on introducing new designs and products.  Diamondback strives to build airboats with the highest quality, design and application in the airboat industry.  Diamondback’s proven design and workmanship along with the use of 5086 marine grade aluminum alloys, quality components and dedicated craftsmanship by certified welders and mechanics, has set the new standard in the airboat industry.

I gave this pistol a B rating.  Tune in to hear a comment from a listener in England,  that’s a real important story, too!

Thanks for listening!
