The popular premise that at some point you are going to have to stand alone against hordes and hordes.....and hordes of individuals, aliens, zombies as the world ends and you are one of a handful of survivors. The most preferable method is the ability to dual wield anything from, swords to guns, akimbo style.<br />

Found in the holster and waist bands of career soldiers, national police and criminals all over.<br />
<br />
Interestingly enough most non-American handgun users rarely carry it with a round in the chamber or cocked and locked. <br />
<br />
Chambered in 9mm though it's techincal name can vary:<br />
<ul><li>9×19</li>
<li>9 mm</li>
<li>9 mm Luger</li>
<li>9 mm <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a></li>
<li>9×19mm</li>
<li>9×19mm <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a></li>
<li>9 mm <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabellum" title="Parabellum">Parabellum</a></li>
<li>9 mm Para</li>
</ul>Since it is a single action semi-automatic pistol the hammer must be cocked before the first round can be fired. The hammer is normally cocked in the loading process (e.g., the act of inserting the magazine and operating the slide to chamber the first round also cocks the hammer). Once the first round is fired, the automatic movement (recoil) of the slide cocks the hammer for each subsequent shot. The pistol once cocked, can be fired by pulling the trigger once for each shot until the magazine is empty.<br />
<br />
Engaging the thumb-safety allows the pistol to be safely carried cocked and locked.<br />
<br />
To safely lower the hammer with a round in the chamber keep the gun pointed in a down and safe direction not allowing the muzzle to be pointed towards any body parts or other individuals. Securely hold the hammer in the cocked position with your thumb and slowly squeeze the trigger until you feel give in the hammer.<br />
<br />
Slowly (s-l-o-w-l-y) lower the hammer while maintaining control of it with your thumb until the hammer is FULLY lowered and feels nestled against the slide.<br />

determine if a reciprocity agreement is required or if an existing agreement is still valid. It is important for permit holders to understand that when they are traveling in or through another state they are subject to the firearm laws of that state.

/><br />For $25 (Cabelas) my S-N-G made to fit my Smith & Wesson J frame turns out to work well with everything from my Walther P22, my Beretta 85 (.380) and my Colt Combat Commander.<br /><br />For the price and versatility this holster is pure WIN. I've found that secured over my right hip that the plastic belt clip will keep the holster secured to my jeans alone without a belt if on a rare occasion I'm not wearing one (quick run to the store, cutting the grass, etc).<br /><br />There is no forward rake or cant just a straight up draw which aids in concealment, and the soft suede is uber comfortable. Over the Summer the wife and I drove out west and I wore my Combat Commander tucked inside this holster for the entire 18+ hour drive.<br /><br />If you are in need of a multi-gun IWB holster or just one gun specific I definitely recommend Galco's Stow-N-Go.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYeFBcK5D8VLGWI9SUg8YAMZjsej2qeKEhmizxzVOZPqP_ZQ-4vf-CqQ2wKpt_iEKM66EnxuCveaoftIeSaKPDaSYqHpy85jX8Q6W1Ivu82FAfgz9qu0-LRma5bJArSXKedPr49os30gM/s1600/blog+003.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

If you care for the particulars <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47" title="AK-47">go here.</a><br /><br />Here is a quick reference on how to make it go bang.<br /><br />1. The Trigger. The AK is often found in its select fire model, meaning it can fire semi-automatic or full auto. To make a loaded rifle go bang you squeeze this.<br /><br />2. Location of the Safety Mechanism. You should never walk around with your finger on the trigger regardless (Rule 3 of firearms safety. Keep your finger off the trigger until your ready to fire). However you don't want to engage in a fire fight only to find that the safety is on. The safety on the AK is the lever shown in the picture above. The lever all the way up (like in the photo) means the safety is on. Lower it all the way down and it will fire one time for every squeeze on the trigger. Put the lever in the middle and it will fire full automatic (on full auto variants), meaning if you hold the trigger down the rifle will keep shooting until the magazine runs out of ammo or you take your finger off the trigger.<br /><br />3. The magazine release. Like the trigger squeeze on this and the magazine will come out. It may need some help from you to pull it free.<br /><br />4. The Bolt. If the gun is empty and you put in a fresh magazine pull the bolt back and let go of it. This will chamber a round. As long as the gun functions well (and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">AKs</span> function well) you will only have to do this one time per magazine.<br /><br />5. The Magazine. Generally holds somewhere between 20-40 rounds with 30 being the most common. When putting a fresh loaded magazine into the rifle angle the magazine forward into the magazine well, then pull the magazine into the gun in an upward rocking motion.<br /><br />6. The rear sight. It shaped like a V for the general sense. It has a notch in the middle. You visually align the front sight into the notch. If you have time line the front and rear sight up so they are as close to even on the top of the post and notch as possible. If you don't have time, guesstimate and fire off a couple of rounds and adjust as necessary.<br /><br />7. The Front Sight. This is the rock that the church is built on. When shooting (again if you have time) focus your eyes so the rear sight is fuzzy and the target is fuzzy and the front sight is clear. The front sight on an AK is generally a center
