Anybody else notice how the FBI didn't "find" them till after Hillary had been defeated....I guess they didn't want to make it to easy for Trump. lol

They make what sells, that is why they produce the ammo and firearms they do.

I learned quite a few lessons back in 2003 when "Hurricane Elvis" hit. I was one of the lucky ones and my power was only out for about 5 days. I had the gear and basically just set up camp inside the house. It was awkward for a while, but I got through it fairly comfortably with just what I already had on hand. What surprised me was that most of my neighbors didn't have so much as a old fashioned mechanical can opener and had no choice but to bug out to wherever thy could find someone with power to take them in. Some even ended up staying in expensive hotels well outside the damage zone and eating out for every meal. That cost them a bunch of money. Further, at that time I was still a city employee and we were running on the disaster plan 12-16 hours a day trying to deal with the mess. I vowed right then that I'd never get caught off guard again.

Just wanted to show my new Traditions Outfitter G2 in 45-70. I topped it off with a leupold 2x7 with the low rings. I had been looking for a single shot in 45-70 for a while now and the rifle I thought I wanted could not be found. So here it is. I have not had the chance to fire it yet but God willing this weekend we will. The rifle has a built in muzzle brake. I have never owned or shot a rifle with one so this will be now. I will let you know how it goes. Smiles Blessing

I've always said that .357 Sig was the ONLY good thing to come out of that abomination known as .40. Very good round. Price and availability are the reasons I never switched to it. About the same reasons I never switched to 10mm, another excellent round, especially when fed the good stuff.

Of course all the food in the world won't do you any good if you don't kow how to cook it. Sad, but some people couldn't boil water. Know how to use your preps.

I have several of those p-38s around in my kits. I store a mix of ready to eat canned (home and store) food, dry food (pasta, beans, etc. ), S.O.S bars, and freeze dried stuff like Mountain House makes. Taking it all into account I try to have roughly 60 days at the moment. I am adding dry goods as I have space and funds. They require much less rotation if stored properly. Water is a big deal and I keep looking for better solutions to store it. The Mountain House stuff is not cheap, but is reserved for my "get out of Dodge" on foot supplies. The S.O.S. bars ( http://amzn.to/2omzxQj) are stocked in my car bags since they require no prep, have a long life, and can stand up to the heat.

I’ve gone a long time without having to think back to my tubby-ass fifth grade days and having to wear those awful things when all cool kids were wearing Levi’s with bell bottoms that covered the feet. Thanks for the memory, not.

Consumers just have a lot of choice - and have frankly already made up their mind. Police departments and other public buyers really chose .40 S&W over .357 Sig in the ‘90s and early ‘00s. It will remain a niche round at this point. It will likely stay available - less available than the big calibers, but probably a box or two in any big store. The heart of the matter is that it would take an enormous amount of money to market it to the masses at this point to try to offset mediocre gun rag press over the last 20 years. And, no one is going to invest that in this market. If it’s your thing, enjoy it. But, it’s probably as available as it’s going to get.

That should be a good deer rifle for hunting the thick stuff.

20lb grill tanks are, but can be tested and recertified. Bigger residential tanks have different requirements.

If the price and availability of ammunition improve, I can see the .357 sig as a good option. If I have a caliber, I want to have more than on gun using that caliber.

No nothing about the HK but with Sig discontinuing some models (avail in .357) you may find some better price points.

Having attended many active shooter seminars, I was under the impression that LE procedure is first responder (s) are to engage the shooter as back up is on the way. I've posted before I'm not trained nor inclined to run towards gun fire, but if I can make a difference, I hope I have the courage and presence of mind to fight vs. flight or freeze.

Thanks for the welcome!!! Yes I love the .357 sig it shoots very well.... the price of ammo, I believe truly is the damper on the flourishment of this caliber....

I converted both of my P320's to .357 Sig. I like a little extra umf to the 9 that it provides. I reload to reduce costs. Buying the brass to begin with costs more, but after that it's perfectly reasonable.

Having just added .357 Sig (and .40) because of an awesome gun deal, I've been learning about this round. I was NOT planning on adding another caliber to my mix. It's early in the process, but I think I shoot the .357 better than .40 As an original .357 mag guy, I think it's a pretty cool roound and beginning an emotional attachment. I like how it mimics .357 magnum, just not sure if the improved barrier penetration is needed, considering the Hornady Critical Duty in 9mm does well. A PCC or PDW in .357 Sig would be awesome. I saw a chassis for Glock and Sig. Practice ammo price is a deterrent. Off the shelf I can buy 9 for $10/50, .40/.380 for $13/50 and .357 Sig jumps to $25-$40/50 (similar to .357 mag) SD ammo is surprising affordable, price per round in line with most 9/.40/.45 I compared it to. Welcome aboard!

Good luck with that endeavor, Don Quixote.

DWARREN123 is unfortunately correct. Production is driven by sales. That said, sales of 357 Sig could be enhanced if USPSA and/or IDPA would authorize the round for competition in the major division. My Sig 1911 Nightmare Carry is an excellent pistol and the 357 is a flat shooting round. Ammo prices are a bit high but could be lowered if the demand increased. Opening the 357 Sig to competition sport shooting would be a great first step.

Ain't that the truth! And, after getting caught unprepared during an event, they'll be just as unprepared for the next event. No, I don't loan generators.

FYI, per "Evil MIke": Rifle magazines will be limited to 30 rounds maximum. Handgun magazines will be limited to 20 rounds maximum.

I always wondered about how to hide the clip of an IWB holster, and recently got an idea (that I haven't put to the test yet). If the holster has only one clip, buy a Leatherman (or other brand) tool with leather belt pouch. Drill a small hole into the upper part of the clip and the Leatherman pouch. Attach the pouch with a rivet to the clip. Now people will see you're carrying a Leatherman, and the clip is obviously to hold your multi-tool on your belt. If the gun doesn't print, would this fool even folks who carry and know what to look for? It just might. I need to order a couple more clips for my holsters and will get an extra one to drill and try out.

You can make your own pocket holster using a gallon water jug (or milk jug) and gaffers tape (duct tape). I posted how to do it a few years ago on TGO. You can adjust the depth for pocket depth and the hook to make sure it doesn't come out of your pocket. I haven't made a new one in years, but it's easy to do. Edited: Here you go from 2015... I make my own pocket holsters using a one gallon water jug and gaffers tape. Here is a link to the process. http://www.thektog.org/forum/f87/milk-jug-pocket-holsters-256713/ The advantages of this for a pocket holster are... 1. They are super thin. If you want to hide something in your front pocket, the holster needs to be as thin as possible. 2. You can contour the holster to fit against your leg and to fit how you want it to fit in your pocket. I have some holsters that are longer so the gun presents higher in a really deep pocket. That is, the bottom inch or two is just pocket filler to raise the tiny gun higher in the pocket. 3. You can shape the "hook" so it becomes almost impossible for the holster to come out when you draw. I see this as a huge plus. I have to unholster the gun to remove the holster, but it can be pocketed with the weapon with no problem. 4. It's cheap... a roll of gaffers tape is $12 and the water jug is free or only a dollar if you don't have one available. You can use duct tape, but it looks awful, as you can see in the pictures in the above link. Gaffers tape doesn't leave a visible tape residue. Here's a pic from the above link showing a tiny KelTec P3-AT in a DeSantis and a Glock 26 in a milk jug holster. They are almost the same width! The P3-AT in the DeSantis holster is 1 3/16" wide... actually it's even wider until the sides are compressed in your pocket. The gun in the milk jug holster on the right is 1 5/16" wide, a barely noticeable difference in the pocket, but it's a Glock 26! Edited October 14, 2015 by jgradyc

Black shirt did it! Guy that made me just smiled and said, "Looks good." Success!

You mean Pizza Hut will not deliver in SHTF??? Lol

Never think you had it the worst. About the same age my Mom bought me 5 sweatsuits to wear to school. The sweatshirts and pants matched in color. Maroon, forest green, red, navy, and black. They were not even the elastic waist type, these had strings. I had to constantly keep pulling them up. I pretty much resembled a fat blob of a single color. I wore those from the fall all the way until it was too hot to in the summer.

Sears Huskey’s, that’s the real man jean.

I’m so glad to see that the FBI has finally located and recovered Dorothy’s original ruby slippers. Because we all know if you’re going witch huntin’... these suckers get results! https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/04/entertainment/wizard-of-oz-stolen-ruby-slippers-found/index.html

Lol. No, he's a felon with a "colorful past," shall we say. Also top salesman since he straightened his life out.
