I could argue she put the nail there herself.

Curiously enough your approach to one of each is quite similar to mine. Anyway, you need a Glock 17.

SA rimfire revolver the bottle rocket of firearms. I took that advice in rifle form, purposely getting a bolt action .22 knowing that slowing down has its appeal. “Grandpa, you could load these magazines while Im shooting”. He says this as he’s practicing mag dumps with the 22/45 Ruger...

Carried a P-239 for quite some time, it was what I became comfortable with, wasn’t heavy , it was my brother. I longed to be one of the cool kids, I succumbed to the siren song of the P-365X. Seems my brother got fat over the years, it happened to me too, I’m not holding it against him. A GI...

I reload a bunch of rounds. I have made a conscious decision to not reload 9mm. It’s what I call a finger masher, I reload 32S&W longs, another true finger masher. Cost and availability drive that decision. I use a single stage press, I can’t justify the progressive style.

I’ve been there several times, delivering groceries to those very same gas stations. Guy I worked with had to stay in the truck, he threw up soon after getting out. The smell is, sublime, the streets are slick as a gut under street lights. A regular zombie apocalypse event of the bug world.

I’ve got a 10mm GI Model. The weight goes a long way in mitigating the recoil, if in fact the 10mm is hard recoiling. It might be worse than my SP-2340 SIG, might. Let’s say I get a 9mm 1911. Let’s assume it’s a real peach at the range. I’ve already got range peaches, and I won’t carry that...

The BO comes in at adequate and if you’re thinking suppressed it’s a pretty good answer. If your on the fence about power might check out the 6mm or 6.5 options (Grendel) or 6ARC. The 6.5G is fairly spicy for a compact light weight option, I like mine.

It’s going to be ages before that tax stamp goes away, and I believe it will. When it does go away, pent up demand will suck everything with a female 1/2x28 thread into its vortex. You’ll be paying north of $1500 because that’s all that will be left at the end of the week. Ammo gouging will seem...

Ruger MKIII 22/45 here. If I eventually reach some sort of muscle (eye) memory as to where that dot goes between holstering and fireing… who am I kidding

I’m a believer in taking what you can get while you can get it. Anyone out there get married on the first date? Or did you have to work your way up to that?

“Donut of death”, I’m going to steal that. The best description of my shooting I’ve ever heard. I can’t hit the center even on accident!

It comes down to the historical lean I think. The articles that are reprinted here I find interesting. I have a couple Springfield guns, news from them is nice too. Some of these gun forums smell like Axe body spray, full of middle school humor and hormones. I’m tired of that BS.

SP-101 .327Fed and a sack of snake shot loads in the Everglades. Stainless, light weight, and enough horsepower for anything in FL. I’d be inclined to carry a 10mm 1911 in Appalachia , but could easily choose the same SP-101. It would turn on the game potential, deer vs. squirrels.

The shirt count? Several boxes of .22 Winchester subsonics and a couple hundred 300g .458 cast lead bullets. Decided to use some of my last Trailboss powder for the grandkids entertainment.

After a few boxes of 10mm the gun cost becomes less and less relevant.

I got plenty of experience with hang fires and “squibs” with my muzzle loaders. Honestly it was danged good experience, I developed that muscle memory to just hang tight for several seconds and then figure out the extent of the problem. I’ve had one experience with a dead round, primer was...

I’ll tell you what surprised me about getting a safe. The number of things my wife found to put in there.

Pulled stakes in ‘97. Like leaving Stalingrad, I got over it pretty quickly.

Point was more directed towards why a cop would make the differentiation in a report. That the news would not care about anything else? Well that seems a given unfortunately.
