I’ve received quite a few emails asking me, “what is a 1,000 round trigger job?” First, let me say, I didn’t make that up. I read it somewhere on a forum and can’t remember where, but I’m sure that expression has been used before. So during the first segment, I’ll answer in detail what I mean by that. Trigger jobs are one of the most talked about modifications on a handgun, yet it seems like some people spend too much money on them and don’t get a good enough benefit. Most decent quality guns have triggers that can be mastered with enough practice. That’s my main point, but listen for more details. During segment 2, I respond to my backlog of listener emails. Please keep them coming, I will get to most of them. Links can be found on the GRRN forum. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show

The audio quality of this interview didn’t turn out as good as I hoped it would. I’m not sure what I did, but my microphone settings were all messed up, so I’ve done the best I could to make this interview with Jon Payne from Suarez International, sound good enough for you to get something out of it. My apologies in advance. This episode begins with an audio comment from a listener regarding my last episode, then a little commentary from me and then the interview regarding Advanced Close Range Gunfighing. I just finished the Gun Rights Policy Conference in Chicago and it was great! Later this week, I will post another episode with some good quality audio from the GRPC conference. I interviewed some listeners and some other podcasters. So download that on Friday of this week. For now, enjoy this show as much as you can. Thanks for listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show

I had the pleasure of interviewing a professional pilot who also carries concealed and is a competition shooter. So I interviewed him and got his unique perspective on concealed carry. We discussed the issue of concealed carry on airplanes and whether it would be a good idea or not and also his testing of RBCD ammo. We also discussed his M&P .40c and our situational awareness when carrying in public, especially a restaurant. This episode begins with a few audio comments from listeners and my follow up answers regarding open carry and gun store clerks. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show

Recently I shot a tactical carbine match with Texas Tactical in San Antonio. It was my first time shooting a carbine match with my AR-15. So I took my recorder along and recorded some stage descriptions, recaps and you’ll hear some of the experience during the match. You’ll hear what type of AR that I used and what modifications I’ve done to it and why I think it’s important to participate in matches like this with your long guns. Even a Ruger 10-22! Also, at the end you’ll hear an audio clip from a listener about 1911’s and the original torture test and what was said in my 1911 podcast a couple weeks ago.

The 1911 pistol is arguably the most popular gun in the world, just by the number of people who own one. Recently several listeners have asked me to talk more about 1911’s. Since I don’t own any 1911’s right now, I decided to interview someone who owns a lot of them and has shot thousands and thousands of rounds through 1911’s. Jon Hodoway shares is valuable insights and thoughts about owning, shooting, carrying and competing with 1911 pistols. We talked about the grip safety issue, the thumb safety and capacity features and even some history as to how and why Jon Browning designed the 1911 pistol. Thanks for listening and don’t forget about your last chance to help the GRRN, The Powerfactor Show and my show with an investment into my Shooter’s Club Podcast.

Every shooting competition has a set of rules and by laws that they adhere to. However, there are inconsistencies in the way they are written and enforced. In this episode, Steve and Rick from the Powerfactor Show interview with me and we discuss how we would change the rules of IDPA and USPSA if we were in charge. So naturally this is heavily competition related. For those of you who shoot these 2 sports, I think you’ll find yourself relating quite a bit to this subject. Thanks for downloading and listening.
