  • Technologies of Concealed Carry in Gun Culture 2.0
    “The First Rule of Gunfighting is Have a Gun”: Technologies of Concealed Carry in Gun Culture 2.0 Paper Presented at The Copeland Colloquium on “The Symbolic and Material Construction of Guns” Amherst College 3-4 March 2017 David Yamane Professor of Sociology Wake Forest University [email protected] In April 2016, the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) its second annual Concealed Carry Expo (CCX) at the Georgia International Conventional Center near Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta. The event is billed as “the nation’s only event dedicated to the CCW lifestyle” (see Figure 1). Although the idea of a “lifestyle” might seem to trivialize the practice of citizens carrying deadly weapons in public, the reality is quite the opposite. Over the course of three days, various seminars repeatedly stress the seriousness and importance of being a regular and responsible armed citizen. Figure 1. Flier for 2nd Annual USCCA Concealed Carry Expo 1 A seminar on the laws governing the use of lethal force in self-defense by attorney Andrew Branca is free and open to the public. Although it begins at 8:00am, the audience is literally standing room as the overflow spills out from the combined German 1 and 2 suites into the hallway. Branca later signs copies of the third edition of his book, The Law of Self-Defense, which the USCCA has licensed and is giving away free of charge to Expo attendees. Other seminars presented throughout the weekend cover concealed carry basics for beginners, hand-to- hand techniques to employ before using a firearm, mental preparation for self-defense, weapon retention, and gunshot wound treatment.

The Argentines produce four models: the Militar is the standard military variant, and conforms most closely to the original HP-35; the M-90 is a modified version of the Militar, with a lengthened slide stop, reshaped manual safety, anatomical grips, and a plastic projection above the magazine well at the front to help with the grip. The "Detective," as it sounds, is a compact version of the M-90 for concealed work. The M-95 has two new safeties, a firing pin safety and an ambidextrous thumb safety. It also has adjustable front and rear sights. Twilight 2000 Story: Some of these pistols were still being used as late as 2025; however, the M-95 was never built.

  • The Los Angeles Silhouette Club
    The Los Angeles Silhouette Club The Three Dollar Bill By: Glen E. Fryxell Photography by Glen E. Fryxell This article reprinted with permission of Glen E. Fryxell and GunBlast.com Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s Elmer Keith and Bill Jordan were petitioning the American arms community to produce guns and ammunition for a service revolver, roughly .40 or .41 caliber, which was capable of shooting a 180-200 grain bullet at about 1100 fps. Something that offered more thump than the pedestrian .38 Special, and gave better penetration than did the .357 Magnum. The .44 Magnum had just made its bawdy appearance, and the factories had given Mr. Keith even more than he had asked for. The resulting 240 grain bullet at almost 1500 fps generated unprecedented recoil, so recovery was slow and follow-up shots were difficult for most law enforcement officers. Keith and Jordan were asking for moderation -- sufficient bullet weight, diameter and velocity to be effective for law enforcement applications, but not so much power that recoil made mastery of the weapon difficult. One might ask, “What about the .38-40?” Well, that’s pretty much what Keith and Jordan were looking to emulate, except without the thin, bottle-necked, balloon-head brass and sloppy chamber tolerances of the older guns. (Keep in mind that this was the early 1960s and the .38-40 was pretty much dead in the water, it wasn‘t revived until Cowboy Action Shooting came along 3 decades later). What they wanted was a new cartridge that embodied a straight, solid- head case, holding a .40 caliber bullet, that operated at moderate pressure and launched a 180-200 grain bullet at 1100 fps.
