@Defender Thank God you are in remission and moving fwd w/your life. Cancer is scary and nothing is guaranteed. I like to hear of people who are successful in their cancer fights. It proves there is always hope. As for the fatigue, that seems to be a recurrent complaint about the cancer & treatment. Which is most responsible? I don't know but it seems to reaffirm what a tough battle one is fighting and it takes strength and determination to keep going. Keep living your life @DeepSouth - I admire your stamina and determination. I hope you find your cancer in remission soon, too.2 points

I acquired this .38 a few years ago. This example has been reblued and the metal is in great shape, despite some softening of the rollmarks. The lockup is still tight for a 100+ year revolver. I believe the 20xxx serial number puts it toward the end of production for this model, but I haven't researched it. Price is $280, located in Memphis area but willing to do reasonable travel.1 point

Like I said in my intro, one of things I collect are .32ACP pocket guns. I decided to pull out a few of my more interesting examples Top left is a Frommer Stop in 7,65. This is one of the strangest pocket guns out there. The recoil spring sits on top, which is pretty uncommon. However, the oddest thing about this pistol is that uses a rotating bolt, similar to what you'd find in an AK. There was even a machine pistol version of it. Two pistols, upside down, each with 25 round magazines, are mounted in a little tripod. I assume the Hungarians had worries that the rabbits would rise up against them Top right is a French "Unique" pistol. This one features an acceptance stamp showing that it was in use with the Moroccan police Bottom right is a German Dreyse M1907. The Dreyse was fairly innovative for its day in that it's striker fired and the firing pin protruded out of the back so you could see/feel if it was cocked Bottom left is the venerable Colt M1903 pocket hammerless. As far as vest guns go, none are more classy. I actually carry mine from time to time. Makes you feel like an old tyme detective searching gin-joints for a dangerous dame with gams that don't quit In the center is a CZ 27. This one features several Waffenampt markings indicating that it was accepted into service with the German military in WWII. The fact that it is blued rather than parkerized would indicate that this was produced just before or early into the German occupation of Prague. This one is magnificent. The bluing is still deep and rich and the trigger even retains its factory straw bluing. Whoever it was issued to clearly didn't do much with it. Honorable mention: Maxine. Like all cats she feels the need to make an appearance when the guns come out Hope you folks enjoy the post.1 point

pop pop, next time you are out running around you should go hold one in a shop to see how well you can wrap around and how it feels. Then consider how your grip will change overtime. The round drives mags to be longer front to back which means grips are extended. Its why so many have the brick feel to em. One of the driving factors for the round was to defeat body armor. FN wanted it to be adopted more widely at inception. Its designated AP rounds are restricted, but some of the non AP could do it. Not to many home invaders use body armor The late great Paul Harrell had a good vid or two on it if you are still looking to confirm / deny. He had a good analogy as I recall. Its like a pair of snap ring plies, only good at one thing, nothing else.1 point

For those that have not met me I have always been a pretty big guy. One of my favorite sayings was I was not recoil sensitive. I have been over 300 lbs for the last 15-18 years. At my heaviest I was 419 lbs but for the last 5-6 years I have been around 380-390 lbs. With the help of my wife I finally decided to have weight loss surgery. So last year I started working with Vanderbilt to get ready for the surgery. Then I find out that my insurance will not cover it. I can still do the surgery but it would be 21-23K out of pocket. That was kinda a kick to the nuts so I stopped thinking about weight loss for the rest of last year. I was talking to my doctor at my annual physical in February of this year and he suggested I try the weekly shots like Mounjaro or Ozempic. These would have 2 benefits for me. One it would help control my A1c(blood sugar) and help with weight loss. So I took my first shot on February 15th. For the first 2 months I was on Mounjaro. Then there was a national back order and could not get it. So no shot for month 3. He then switched me to Ozempic for month 4 and I have been on that since then. This has been the only medicine I have taken that has made me not want to eat. This medicine works differently for everybody. I have been pretty lucky because I have had only minimal side effects and have lost a lot of weight. In the last 10 months I have lost 150.6 lbs. I went from 380.2 lbs 2/15/24 to 229.6 lbs 12/12/24. I have been seeing my doctor every 3 months while I have been taking this medicine. One other benefit beside the weight loss is that the doc has taken me off my blood pressure medicine. He is also considering taking me off most of my other medicine because my bloodwork is coming out so good. The hard part is going to be starting soon though. Maintenance. I have finally gotten in the habit of eating less. I just have to make sure I do not revert back to my old habits once the doctor starts reducing my dosage. One of thew worst side effects of lasing weight is being constantly cold. I use to rarely wear a coat. If it was above freezing I was in short sleeves. Now I wear long sleeves in the house. I bet I have worn more sweatshirts and coats in the last 2 months than I have in the last 10 years. For visual reference I went from this: To this:1 point

The patent expired about 5 years ago, so other manufacturers are pushing it now they have something “new” to offer. I’d say rent or borrow one first. I had my FN 5.7 for a few years. It wasn’t a great gun imo. The recoil was very light, absolutely. But the ergonomics and size were bad for a pistol. It was more about the novelty of the rifle velocity ballistics. Like a good portion of others that had them before the patent expired, I sold it to a member here a few years ago. Would I get another now that they are 1/3 to half the cost? I don’t see it. Ruger was first out of the gate and I scratched my head that they just knocked off the FN including its bad trigger. While the ammo is cheaper, it’s not cheap. I have hard time justifying it over say an AR pistol in the home defense scenario. much more adaptable. cheaper ammo, more capacity, and will make things just as dead If the ammo drops to sub AR prices and they offer some more interesting platforms that are clear improvements / ergos over things so close to the FN, it would offer more draw imo.1 point

Yes, I normally try to shoot the matches at Cohutta Pines in Cisco GA , Cleveland Hunting Rifle and Pistol Club in Cleveland TN , and occasionally at Montlake in Soddy Daisy and then I try to hit the local state level matches and the Nationals and World when they are not on the other side of the country.1 point

Hit another milestone today. 199.6 lbs when I weighed myself this morning. I believe this is the first time I have been under 200 lbs since high school. I am close to being literally half the man I was when I started losing weight 13 months ago.1 point

All good. As a new member you can't PM until you reach a certain post count. But I believe you can respond to PMs once someone else initiates it. I sent you one a little bit ago. If you're unable to see it, just comment here and I'll reach out a different way.1 point

I have pocket carried ever since TN passed the Concealed Carry Law bake when. Always carry in a good holster that covers the trigger. Neve carry anything in the gun pocket except my EDC and its holster. Have always strived to be as safe as possible where carry is concerned. I believe any gun is useful no matter the caliber. I don't know many people who want to be shot with any caliber. I am sure there are thugs walking about who will test a man's resolve and I met 3 one day. The 32 is the smallest I have ever carried and I used a flip up barrel Tomcat but it was just too small for my liking so I went to the Colt Pocketlite in 380 and carried it for 6 years. I researched the 32 quite a bit and most have the opinion it is a good caliber and is a fairly effective caliber. I was convinced enough to carry it for a while just didn't like the pistol I had. I recently read a book the security guard (Carl Chinn) wrote about a couple church shootings he was involved with. He was present with a 32 in his hand as the perp walked into the Colorado church campus in which he was security for. The perp had an AR 15 and a 9 MM and 40 caliber pistol on him. He had already killed several on another campus and shot 3 in the parking lot of Carl's church as he came in. The perp drove 70 miles away from the first campus, the came to the church where Carl was head of security for on the same Sunday morning. Carl said he seen the shooter shoot out he glass in the locked door and enter, coming in armed to the teeth, and he realized he was going to face him down with a very small 32 7 shot pistol. Luckly for him, Jean Assam stepped out, just in front of Carl, from a parallel hallway and confronted the shooter with her Beretta 9 mm Police service pistol and stopped his assault. Jean had been a former Police officer shortly before she had volunteered to be on the armed security team in the mega Colorado church. Carl got a bigger pistol to carry after this confrontation. Jean Assam has a web site, and you can Google her name and read her story if you like. I am not on a security team and I know most of you all are not also. Don't have plans of getting into a running gun battle with anyone today either. The 32 should do an adequate job for self-defense although I choose to carry a 9 MM or 357 today, because I can. Helps my confidence level. I, like Carl Chinn, felt under gunned with my little flip up brl Beretta Tomcat. If it works for you, then do it. Edited to add content.1 point

I've got a Beretta "New Puma" .32 and it's a really nice gun for what it is. Shoots straight and reliably. The only .22 pocket pistol I have is this hilariously dumb thing. It's an Italian copy of a Mossberg Brownie. Runs .22 Short and Long. 22LR brass seems to be just a smidge too long and makes extraction difficult so I just shoot .22 Short in it.1 point

New here? Step up and tell us about yourself. A good format to follow would be your first name (if you care to share it), where you're from, what your interests are, what gun(s) you have, where you like to shoot, etc. It helps break the ice and you might just find new friends as a result.1 point
