Shooting Times Gun Guide 2009
 If you have any doubt in your mind that the Concealed Carry market is on the rise, just take a look at the Shooting Times Gun Guide for 2009. The first two articles are "Concealed Carry Rugers" and "Smith and Wesson Unleashes the Night Guards".
"Concealed Carry Rugers" is highlighting the new Light Compact Pistol or LCP. The author points out that it is chambered in the .380 and is smaller than some.22s and .25 caliber pistols that he had shot in the past. The article continues on with good information about the pistol, but he brings up some important information about Federal Cartridge Company introducing the .32 H&R Magnum. He reports that it would be an 85-grain jacketed hollow-point bullet "almost equaling that of a low-end .38 Special load." If this is truly the case, this would be another option for folks that need to carry discreetly.
"Smith and Wesson Unleashes the Night Guards" covers the three frame sizes of N;L; and K frames and they are chambered in .38, .357, .44, and .45 calibers. With Calif looking to have "stamps" on the cartridges in the future, the revolver looks to have a new found resurgence in self defense. The new law excludes revolvers, and the author's bench shooting tests yield consistent 2+ inch groups. We are looking forward to testing these out for our selves.
This edition has over 1000 guns listed with prices for those that have friends asking about gun prices and specific details. It is not always what you know, but rather where you get your answers. Pick this issue up at your local store if you get a chance.
Happy trails and keep the lead down range - Clark -Carryconcealed.net
