Section 2: Favorite Gun Stores, Gunsmiths, Holster Makers and Reloading
Riley's Sport Shop
This is my all-time favorite gun store. Unfortunately they are in NH and I am now in AZ but since they have found the internet I think the distance is getting shorter. Ralph and Bob run a very busy, very friendly place with lots of guns to look at and lots of good people to help you find what you need. They fully support our 2nd Amendment rights and stand by the NH motto of "Live Free or Die"... If you haven't been there and are thinking of visiting New England then definitely stop by their shop in Hooksett, NH. It is a great experience.

Derby Guns
Stop by and take a look at our store ... you will get great prices and service. Talk to Kate, Jim or Dana and if they don't have it in stock then they can get it to you quickly. Glock prices are especially good! Tell them Kate sent you...

Mike Larocca - Larocca Gunworks
| |
51 Union Street, Worcester, MA 01608
(508) 754-2887 |
Mike is the best with Remington shotguns but by no means limited to them. I have a terrific little S&W Air weight .38 special that is never very far from me. I also have a Remington 1100 and an 870 that are 2 of my favorites guns to shoot. Their triggers are sweet and clean and they just keep on trucking... Give him a call... you won't regret it.

Sidearmor Kydex Holsters
Kydex has not usually been a favorite of mine UNTIL a friend gave me one of these holsters as a gift for my Glock 27. I've used it and enjoyed it enough to purchase a couple of more. I will be offering them soon right here on TNT so let me know if you want to get one. They are comfortable, secure and dependable... Need I say more? Check them out.

The Wilderness
The Wilderness Shop is a great place to get the original Instructor Web belts along with 511 vests, shorts and pants. They also make some really neat knapsacks, gun packs, holsters, mag pouches, tactical accessories and other terrific stuff. They've got a great website and an even better shop... Go and visit either it's always worth the trip..

IDPA
Defensive pistol shooting as a sport is quite simply the use of practical equipment including full charge service ammunition to solve simulated "real world" self-defense scenarios. Shooters competing in Defensive Pistol events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense use. No "competition only" equipment is permitted in Defensive Pistol matches since the main goal is to test the skill and ability of an individual, not his or her equipment or gamesmanship.
