    In short, no. It's not even close to being the perfect pocket pistol. I've seen a few blogs with people calling it a “pocket pistol”, but besides the fact that S&W doesn’t even advertise it as a pocket pistol, it's just too big to be one. However, it is a great everyday light carry gun with a bunch of accessories already available for it.

    Caliber - Available in 9mm or .40SW
    Capacity - 7 round flush fit mag or 8 round extended mag for 9mm & 6 or 7 round mags for the .40sw

    2012 will be a pivotal year for gun rights in Massachusetts. Sadly, the election for the Board of Directors of GOAL is possibly the most important vote you’ll cast for gun rights this year.

    Those of you who have been following the various threads here on the site should be familiar with the issues. For those of you who haven’t been here’s a summary: Several NES members, who are also GOAL members, raised a question to the GOAL Board about how much money was being spent to publish The Outdoor Message every year. They also asked about the interlocking directorate relationships with respect to GOAL inc, The GOAL Foundation and The Outdoor Message. Rather than responding to their questions quickly, the board has circled the wagons for the last 8 months and has yet to formally respond to their questions.

    The GOAL board has eliminated the position of Communications Manager, refused to cut ties with an outmoded and inefficient communications venue, stopped their weekly messages to members and have publicly distanced themselves from other gun rights groups, such as NES, at a time when they should be forging closer ties with any political allies they can find.

    For these reasons I’m recommending voting members support the following candidates:

    Steve Moysey - (Negotiator)
    Jim Finnerty - (EddieCoyle)
    Joe Currie - (Palladin)
    Michael Anthony - (mikecdk)
    Jay Beard
    Mike Donnelly

    I know these people personally and I know that they’re committed to moving GOAL out of the seventies and into the Twenty-first Century. These members support changing the status quo away from the vested interests of how things have always been done and in making GOAL’s board an effective tool to support their employees in their goal of supporting you on Beacon Hill.

    If you are a GOAL member please exercise your vote, ballots are due in by April 10th.

    Chairman Issa Hearing Preview Statement

    Over the past year, the ATF program known as Operation Fast and Furious has been the subject of a joint investigation by this committee and Sen. Chuck Grassley, who serves as the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. When this investigation began, the Department of Justice took the position that allegations by whistleblowers about reckless tactics and decision making in this operation were false.

    Late last year, after months of investigation, the Justice Department finally acknowledged the allegations were true. Fast and Furious was both reckless and flawed.
