J-Frames are only ONE of my revolver/pistol types. They are small and still a relatively powerful caliber (.38sp). I pocket-carry a J-Frame as a rule, (when I go out). I don't carry at home- no need cuz a firearm is never far away around here- less than a foot from my hand as I type. My favorite...

That's a real nice unit- very clean.. even with the conversion it's a real piece of history.

Those Jap rifles, assuming they're in "cared for" condition, are actually excellent rifles.. used to see a few vet bring-backs in the deer woods in the '60's and early '70's. Generally accurate and hard-hitting even in the 6.5, one of the strongest actions out there. Wish now that I'da picked up...

I know where to get one of those, in working order. Brought home by a vet of the Pacific War. It's not an M60 (I date myself!) but it would dump a few rounds in a pinch, eh...

The old B.S. Handbook was chock full of woodcraft info I havent seen anywhere else- mine disappeared for parts unknown at some point in my life... Tappan was useful in picking a good rifle and stocking up on foods and other supplies we don't usually think about in our day to day lives- like...

The Boy Scout "Handbook For Boys"- early edition, probably later 1940's... I about wore my old copy out growing up. Later the Mel Tappan "Tappan On Survival", along with other of his writings... Tappan had a great effect on my prepping ideas and activities. Another book, a novel, was "Farnham's...

Useful choices in that environment!

Excellent advice^^^^^ Even a .22 rifle with that brick of 500 .22LR cartridges could make a difference. Even a functioning .22 pistol. Some suggest a .22Magnum, but at the cost of the rifle and ammo you would be close to what a 5.56 AR would cost... Anyway even a .22LR could make all the difference.

I've pondered the 10mm- Glock, HiPoint, or XDm... cash outlay for ammo has put that off indefinitely, besides I'm into .40S&W pretty deep.

What's not to like about the XDm 10mm?

Isnt it illegal to shoot at drones, even private ones? Something about FAA rules IIRC?

A bad ass blade, no doubt. Worthy of work in Afrika!

A fun (hopefully) thought-provoking thread- Left in a survival situation of your choice- arctic, swamp, jungle, bush, mtns- and allowed two edged weapons- what would your personal choice be? My own is rather simple- a Nepalese Khukri, 12", and a smaller blade like my Master Hunter or possibly...

I've given this some thought the last few days (too much time on my hands). Considering it's only 1 pistol.. I would carry either an N-frame .357 4" or Redhawk 5.5" stainless .44mag. I own these and it would be a difficult choice leaving the various Glocks behind, but I wouldnt want to mess with...

ABSOLUTELY! Detect, detain, deport!

Long story short, HELL NO! Don't come to my country as a non-citizen and try to tell me what to do. That's just wrong.

I carry a .40 Glock 23 these days. I'm looking for snake🐍shot cartridges for my outdoor adventures.. CCI makes 'em, does anyone else? I'm particularly interested in something that will CYCLE the .40 S&W pistol. Is this possible? Suggestions would be appreciated. I do have .357 and .44mag...

That's my kinda shottie, right there! One can do a heckovalot with that with practice. Will it take spare barrels?

I remember some of those Pilot knives.. Camillus and KaBar IIRC. I was hot to have one back in the day- '71-'72- but went with a KaBar USMC I found in a shop, with a chromed blade of all things. Wish I'da kept it but had to get the Buck 120 General dontcha know... I've never seen another chromed...

I too live in the Colorado Rockies. While I also own and sometimes carry a G19-5 it wouldnt be my first choice as a WOODS gun... I'd carry a 10mm G20 but since finding one for sale has here-to-fore eluded me, my carry in the hills here-abouts usually is a .357 S&W 28 4". Works with 110-160gr and...
