Two ways to improve a Sig P238
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
Sig P238 is one of my favorite compact pistols. It can be made even more useful and handy with the following additions: a laser for sighting on the move or in low light, and a set for grips for better control.
A laser, either the red CTC Laserguard shown here (activated by gripping) or green Viridian R5 (activated by unholstering). A set of checkered Hogue grips that seems to have found the sweet spot between grippy but not abrasive. The friend who owns this pistol used to have trouble controlling in on recoil — which puzzled me, as the recoil is minimal — and it turned out to be due to the vertical serration on the stock grips. Once the grips were upgraded, the retention and practical accuracy improved tremendously.

Protection of pets
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
Does anyone know how the law in the US views the use of deadly force to protect pets? For a hypothetic example, you see a stranger trying to stomp your puppy — what would be the result of you shooting the threat to keep the puppy from dying?

Leather for Valentines’ Day?
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
Having written about Dragon Leatherworks often, I’d like to recommend as as a source of gifts for you mate. Since they make custom designs and can decorate or personalize the holsters just the way you want, it could make for a very unique and memorable gift. The only catch is: making and shipping one of a kind design takes time, so you’d want to have your order in this week. If time gets too short for the order, or you are not sure what your mate would want, you could get a gift certificate.

Calling web designers
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
Recently, I had to search for info on a corporate web site and couldn’t find much there. It was very extensive yet utterly unusable. I may end up suggesting a re-design, but would need to know who can do a better job. Please feel free to post links to your portfolios.

Russian body armor uses titanium plates. Do any US makers use it?

Less fear. More preparation.

A shotgun might be more appropriate, but a pistol with a laser can be quicker to grab from the nightstand.

Anything that gets merely scared off will keep preying on innocent people. Buckshot adjusts attitudes more reliably.

Extraterritoriality
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
History tells us that extraterritoriality has been the cause of many uprisings against foreigners, notably the Boxer Rebellion. De-facto immunity from the local laws currently afforded to non-Europeans in countries like Sweden, Germany and France are likely to cause a very nasty backlash. My best guess is that their rules are more afraid of giving their own populations any means of resistance than they are of being affected by the misbehavior of the uncivilized newcomers. The definition of “uncivilized” for the purpose of this discussion is “not deterred from harming other people by any means other than armed resistance or the anticipation thereof”, basically not playing well with others. It will be an interesting process to watch from a safe distance.

The killing of LaVoy Finicum

I am not sure of the details of the specific current standoff between the Western ranchers and the Feds. But it does seem like a small facet of generally abusive conduct by the various government agencies.

Frog Lube for French Resistance
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
Contrary to my original understanding of Europe, some countries there have a substantial amount of privately held guns. Unfortunately, very few of them permit defensive use. Even Switzerland has curtailed legal carry, leaving Czechia, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova and possibly some of the ex-Yugoslav fragments as places where effective self-defense isn’t outright illegal.
With the rather exciting interactions between the locals and the recently imported criminals, I wonder how long it would take for the Maquis to re-form and start going after the easy but culturally acceptable targets. Given the tendency of government agents to look out only for themselves and sometimes for the perpetrators of the violence, Europe isn’t looking so great just now. Of course, it’s probably affecting only some areas, but the blanket refusal of the various governments to recognize their citizens’ right to even minimal self-defense is going to worry everyone. And the last time this type of thing was a problem, Freikorps ended up cleaning up Bolsheviks and everyone unlucky enough to get caught up with them. There might not be as much of a power vacuum now as there was then, but people can get pretty inventive when properly motivated.
