  1. Think what you will of Memphis but this kind of thing is why I will never be ashamed to be from there: https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/07/us/coronavirus-memphis-n95-mask-repair-trnd/index.html

  3. Hi all, I’m new to gun ownership, having bought my first 9mm last month. My older kids also pitched in and bought me a shotgun for home defense. I’ve been able to practice with the 9mm a few times, but have still not tried the shotgun. I look forward to learning more about guns in general and also in getting my conceal carry permit in the near future.

  4. Another ban-era Bushmaster Dissipator here. I don't know why it seemed like such a good idea at the time, but they were popular then. I think this was after I had gotten a set of green furniture somewhere. Eventually I sold the upper and put a V-match 20" upper on the lower; I still have it, but it has been upgraded with a railed handguard and collapsible stock (we couldn't have those either, during the AWB).

  7. I dont think a person should ever be ashamed to be where they are from. If anything its who you are and who you have become inspite of being from a certain place or situation.

  10. Has your work status changed since the Virus started? Names won't be public, you can post in your answer if you want to. I am retired from my full time job, and working part time as self employed from home. I don’t have any work now, and I don’t know if it will return or not.

  13. I have only used moon clips from TK Customs. They are a quality product. I don’t see any listing for the Speed Six, but I think those for the Security Six would be the same. You would need to verify that though. https://tkcustom.com/products/ruger-security-6-9mm-032-ss You will probably also want a loading tool.

  14. Oh, I’ve never felt that way at all, was just being a bit dramatic. As a matter of fact my feeling Is quite the opposite...and always has been. But that’s for another thread, lol.

  15. I stop in this pilot a lot. And people wonder why I never ever go out without at least one concealed most of the time two. Have a good friend drives for Tyson Chicken. We were just messaging about this very thing. I know he goes to Chicago twice a week. He's doesn't go alone.

  19. Good advice! I actually signed up for a 2-hour private lesson with one of the instructors at Shoot Point Blank. Tomorrow he’ll walk me through firing the shotgun. I figured that if my kids gifted it to me and I have it in the house, I need to learn how to use it properly.

  21. No, it doesn’t take 12-18 months to develop one. It takes that long after its developed to make sure it won’t kill you. There are several in trials right now. Yes, I would take one in testing. But only if it was one that had been given to people and they didn’t die in the first two weeks. (I'm a little bit of a candy azz, but not a full blown candy azz.) And I definitely will take one when there is one that is safe. Our economy won’t recover until there is either a vaccine or a cure available to everyone.

  22. I would. I have more than one very high risk/immunocompromised immediate family member. My kids miss their grandparents and until either we have confirmed infection & recovery, or a vaccine, contact is necessarily limited. That’s a situation where all are suffering.

  25. Photos? We always like to see photos, especially of guns that are all steel except for the grips. I have a stainless Security Six that I've had from '85. Don't expect I'll ever sell it.

  34. Good for you! Welcome to the forum. I would suggest you get an Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit if you can swing it, instead of a conceal carry permit. More training, less hassle carrying, possibly more reciprocity with other states. A shotgun requires more training than a handgun for home protection. Specifically, a plan to “clear” your house should you ever need to do that with a shotgun. Walking around your house with a shotgun looking for someone is a bad idea, in general.

  35. CZ’s are great I have one too but they were a lot greater when they weren’t hipster and the prices were still low. For what most of them cost now I personally prefer other makes/models...I have a cz p10 compact...it’s very much Glock 19 like and it’s cajunized ...it’s fun at the range but for carrying I much prefer the very much lighter and still extremely shootable P365 I own or my tried and true to hell and back reliable HK USP 45 “compact”.

  36. I’m in a situation where I’m pretty “safe” going to work with minimal contact to others. We also have a decent amount of supplies and go to a small town grocery store to resupply. All that said, I’d like to wait and see on any vaccine released. I’m guessing they won’t follow the normal trial period timeline and I don’t care to be a guinea pig.

  37. For that same amount of money you could buy (34) food grade 5 gallon buckets and lids at Lowe's. I know they aren't the fancy handles and spouts but for 10-15 more you could buy a bulkhead or 2 and cut your own spigot in. You could also order some Berkey filters in and store them in an empty bucket. If you need to use them you drill a couple of holes in one of the buckets and now you have the best water filtration reasonably available. I could store 125 gallons of water and have a set up that will filter thousands of gallons more for $190.

  40. It's hit or miss with college students. I've got one that graduated with a nursing degree and she's in serious demand these days. I've got another that scraped by with a degree in a very generalized IT program and will likely have student loan debt until he and his compdres manage to elect a socialist who will absolve them of their stupidity and saddle me with his debt as taxes.

  41. Got my 2 in. Hard to load at first but after loading and leaving loaded they have eased some. Have not had a chance to shoot yet but running rounds thru the pistol/mags by hand they seem fine. Went ahead and ordered the Shield Arms magazine release that they recommend should be here today.

  43. My fav 9MM pistols are all CZs...... I would suggest a P07 or CZ75 compact over a RAMI which is not really a big seller Keep in mind ammo is 50% more today than just a month ago due to panic buying

  47. Thanks @xtriggerman. By "forgiving" I meant more likely to still be reliable even if undersized or located too close to the muzzle. Not likely to happen, I know, but I was curious. I guess, thinking about shortening a shotgun's barrel, it would be smart to not go any shorter than the shortest length offered by the factory until you do some math...
