Forgot to post this here when it happened but better late than never.... (Oct 14th 2023) Today the year long journey to the IDPA World Championship match finished up. We shot half the match on Friday and the other half today. A couple of stages on Friday were not some of my best work but Saturday was pretty solid. In my entourage here was my everything Brandi Harris , my friend Trey Hudson , and my friend / coach / “man servant “ for the weekend Michael V Swisher . Mike helped keep me focused, manage equipment, pull the wagon, and strategize. For those who just want the cliff note version of the match , I finished in the top ten in my division at the World Championship with a 5th place in Master Class in the Backup Gun Division ! And finally a big thanks to my sponsor Natchez Outdoors ! Randy Harris Harris Combative Strategies Harriscombative.com Shooting past one of the NUMEROUS non threat targets. Look who I ran into....Rob Leatham and Mike Seeklander ....I need some serious help with my selfie game...

If you are pondering quality over quantity then considering a Hi-Point shows that you’re not serious.

I've got different guns for different reasons. If there are extras or duplicates in a particular group then usually they are looked at first if a higher quality replacement is considered or purchased for the group. I then sell the extras to pay for the new addition. In the case of the 10mm I'd base my investment amount on its use. Plinker is one price range where a serious carry piece is a different price range. As far as selling all those in your way give a feller a heads up when you do lol

This wasn't just a TV, it as a piece of furniture. So whenever it died, everyone just sat a smaller TV on top of it.

Just buy another safe.

You're not alone here. I was shopping safes this weekend when the realization hit me; I have a nice collection, but the value of my stuff isn't THAT high. I'm often kinda jealous of my buddies who have a purpose built set of gear. It's high quality, minimal and well organized. Part of me wants to sell a chunk of it and get down to a rifle, a pistol and a shotgun... Each higher grade. To do this however, I have to change ME. I packrat everything.

I have reached my limit. I am retired with no payments any longer and a decent pension. I could buy about any extra guns that I might want. Most of my guns were bought new and I haven't shot but 4 or 5 of them. That being said, I am at the point now that if I buy another gun I sell one that I like less just to keep the number manageable. It is just a mental thing.

The author of that article is either ignorant or attempting to be inflammatory. The MPDC policy does not apply to USSS agents. USSS policy applies, and the agent(s)' actions will be investigated under that policy and the applicable laws.

Odd source for this type of article on Tennessee Gun Owners. It's from Rolling Stone magazine. Seems funding for the NRA as been slipping and rather than get rid of WLP and his crew of misfits, they are cutting funding for shooting education. Imagine that. The NRA was a great organization, until the crooks took it over. And I don't see it ever coming back to preeminence until WLP and his cronies are gone. Of course, as long as there's enough cash coming in to support their lifestyles, that's not going to happen. I'd copy and paste the article here, but I'm afraid the graphics might not come over. So here's the link. Go read it for yourselves. The NRA Is Cannibalizing Itself (msn.com)

I play a lot of 8 ball with friends and 9 ball with a more experienced player. Whom has a crown table but I enjoy both

Once you have a handful of "no frills" guns... start being more discerning when you are actually out searching for a specific addition. Yes, like almost all of us, if the wrong gun comes along at the right price, oops now there's a new one in the safe. But in cases like yours where you're not just open to whatever comes along but you've got a specific caliber/use/need in mind, why not skip the cheap stuff (it'll come along eventually) and get something that is actually useful *and* gives you a meaningful impression of that specific role you want to fill? Looking for a plinking .22 so you buy a cheap beater Western Field and decide you don't like rimfire because they have too many misfires, when really it's the deformed firing pin. Want a concealable pocket gun so you get a Jennings .25 and decide all tiny guns are underpowered and unreliable. Or need a big bopper for a pile of 10mm and the High Point Yeet Cannon sours your taste for the big boy auto because the hand feel and recoil impulse are lousy... well, in each case you let $200 separate you from a good experience in that role you were looking to fill. There are so many good 10mm out there, now. P320 XTen is my favorite affordable quality, but a RIA 10mm is fun enough to shoot, and accurate. Plus, it doesn't take a hammer and punch to break down a mid-tier 10mm like the Yeet Cannon does.

I have taken a bit of a combined approach. I have some nice guns of all sorts, but I am basically now a 100% 22 guy. I have been selling off guns I don’t shoot and will probably never shoot and putting that money into higher end 22’s. I have enough of the other to still do anything I want but I don’t hunt anymore and am basically into precision shooting. I love me some small calibers still like 22-250 and 204 Ruger. I am a proponent of finding what you really love and finding the rarities in that and making it fun. I am kind of out of the collecting mode. Even my rarer or classic 22’s I want to shoot. What else is the point of having them.

I agree with your assessment Mr Scotty! A Navy buddy of mine said you really only need 5 guns. Good quality daily pistol, AR for home defense, Ruger 10/22 for small game hunting, pump action shotgun for hunting, and a decent bolt gun for med game hunting. Weather the world is good or it is a SHTF situation you have what you need. I have since realized I don’t need his negativity in my life! But have found myself doing exactly what you’re talking about. Down sizing to 2-4 pistols, 2-3 fighting rifles, shotgun, bolt gun, and a 10/22. I think I have 22lr conversions for the ARs and Glock 19, 23,and 32. Still after a few but they are more of inquisitive thing than actual need. I’d like a decent 2011 but maybe just want to shoot one for a bit. I’d like a small Sig p320 to use as a backup to my M17 on my grocery shopping end of the world kit. That way they both use the same magazines. Other than that I think I have everything I need. Just do t tell my boss lady.

I was at an outdoors show and I was impressed with the ria, fit my hand well. Hi-point takes a lot of flak but they do have really good CS and warranty. The thing is ugly as sin and similar feel and weight to a black and decker drill but I could stomach that purchase a lot more. I’d really like a quality sig 1911 but that’s a stretch for a plinker and I’d feel a bit guilty dropping that money during the holiday season. .

The 10mm would 100% be a plinker. Truth be told I traded labor for a decent amount of 10ammo and I want the room in my safe. I think you’re on the other side of the state but I’ll give you a heads up, will probably mull this over for a week or so. It doesn’t have anything to do with finances but more so just manageability. I like your reasoning of trading up with dupes/spare parts.

$800.00 This civil war musket riffle is in fair to good condition for it's age. It's 58 Caliber with a 33" barrel (that's the original length) . It is missing the ramrod. Hammer spring is strong. From what I read, the shorter riffles where for the younger and smaller men coming in near the end of the war. The American Civil War raged from April 12, 1861 to May 9, 1865 in which roughly 30,000 Model 1861 muskets were produced by Muir for the US government. Like the Springfield production of the Model 1861, the Muir Contract model could be considered the “everyman’s” infantry weapon. Case No. 85. William Muir & Company, and Windsor Locks. In this case bargaining achieved the desired end for Muir, confirmation of his contract for a full 30,000 Springfield rifle muskets. He delivered them all. William Muir on 7 December 1861 received an order from the Secretary of War for 30,000 Springfield's at $20.His contract, re-signed July 9, 1862, contained these terms and the deliveries which began January 22, 1863, and finished November 3, 1864, were paid at that rate: $20 and $16. 25,000 at the full $20 and the last 5,000 at only $16.

I think it is an improvement, I would NOT say it turn the gun into a recoil-less wonder pistol but it is an improvement. PMM's marketing material shows 20-30% improvement which seems lofty

I'll play. Single actions Colt Revolvers .44 Specials Hi-Powers 1911s

Very nice rifle. GLWS

Per our PM, I will buy the pistol and ammo.

I like the "Blackout" better than mine in "Brown Wood". GLWS

KahrMan is the winner for now.

Sig MPX or a S&W 41.

Every time the nice lady calls to solicit a donation, I politely tell her, " Ma'am, I will not donate another dime to the NRA until Wayne LaPierre and company are no longer associated with it. I would appreciate it if you could pass this message along." They never seem surprised, and act as if I'm not the first to make this statement. I am a life member from way back, and would really like my money back at this point. It is a damned shame what this once great organization has become.

Is this the same elite squad that couldn’t find DNA on a bag of Coke found in the White House

I think we’re talking about the difference between a dude changing his own oil and a nascar crew chief. Sure, technically they’re both doing car maintenance, but in reality we’re talking totally different things.

I put a stainless steel birds head grip frame on one of my shorter single sixes.I love the look of a birdshead grip single action.

How about the G17L long slide?! That would be the big boy of all Glock 9mm!

New watch. So much fun.

From everything I've heard the accutrigger is worth it. Mine has it and it is pretty good. Barring that, the Axis line just works and is reasonably accurate. I've been having some trouble sourcing an additional mag though. The scope, at least on mine, is serviceable but has poor eye relief. Bushnell Banner branded although I don't think that goes for all the Axis line. It wouldn't be worth paying extra for in my opinion, and if your options were the scope kit or the accutrigger, I'd recommend the trigger. Overall there's a lot of competition in the budget category but the Axis seems to be among the better ones. If you wanted to step up, the Ruger American is a better rifle but usually at least 50% more expensive.
