That's a tough one. I usually carry either an FNS9c or my LCR .357. Sometimes both. The LCR might get the nod just because it's good for pocket carry or IWB. Haven't found a pocket holster yet that doesn't come out of the pocket with the FNS when trying to draw.

Congratulations, I bought my Granddaughter the Ruger 10/22 50th anniversary model. Hope she likes it when she gets older. I'm sure yours will love whatever you get.

38 S&W is indeed an old round but it can still be found. It is about 150 ft pounds of muzzle energy as opposed to 200 ft pounds with the 38 special. I suggested to a friend that was recoil sensitive to try the 38 S&W instead of 38 special and it made a noticeable difference in felt recoil for her.

A Ruger LCR loaded with 38 S&W is both light weight and lower recoil than even 38 special ammo. You can get the LCRX with a 3 inch barrel and a longer grip than the smaller version. Recoil should be relatively light with the 38 S&W loads.

I haven't bought anything in a while and have the urge to get something......just can't decide on what.

Thanks Grayfox, I double checked in case my eyes deceived me but it's definitely a no dash model 60. I'll pass the info along to my friend. She will appreciate knowing about when he purchased it. She is shocked to know he had it all those years and she never knew.

A friend of mine inherited a Model 60 S&W from her dad when he died. She never even knew he owned a gun until he was gone. It's a pinned barrel Model 60 in .38 special, stainless steel. Serial number R185XXX. Does anyone here know about when it was made? Best I can guess it was between 1969 and 1983. It's in perfect condition with the original box. She doesn't want to sell it but would like to know it's value. Thanks.

The vampires make the rounds early so your test results will be on the chart when the Dr. makes morning rounds. It's a good thing really, it might get you out and home quicker too instead of waiting around all day for results.

Not so bad, when I got mine in 2008 it took 77 days to get it from the time I sent everything in.

I have had great luck with Fenix flashlights. I have 3 and I bought one for my wife to carry in addition to that. Here is the one I carry everywhere I go in a pocket. https://www.amazon.com/Fenix-Flashlights-130-Lumen-Flashlight-Black/dp/B00I14HLLS/ref=sr_1_sc_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1515772889&sr=1-3-spell&keywords=feni+flashlight Very small and good battery life with one AA rechargeable. I let the alkaline batteries sit in my LD41 too long, they leaked and ruined the carriage that holds the batteries. I called Fenix and explained it was all my fault and wanted to buy a new carriage but they sent me a new carriage anyway at no charge.

Prayers Bersa Guy. Hope it goes well and you heal quickly.

Glad to have you. Hope you continue to like it here in Tennessee.

I have the Vortex Venom mounted on my Mossberg 500. It's worked like a charm so far. Not much effort to zero in at 25 yards with slugs and buckshot as well. Haven't needed customer service so I can't comment to that.

I have the FNS9C and love it. Very accurate for a compact and fits my hand really well. I also like the 12 and 17 round magazines that come with it.

I'll be keeping mine out for awhile too for all the passers by that haven't gotten this far south yet

I have 3 feeders out with 6 birds fighting for control. No change from the last 2 weeks, mostly had 4 birds all year up until then.

I haven't shot one but Hickok45 has. Maybe this will help you some.

Sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose a family member but friends are hard to lose too. You actually choose them to be close to.

I had a red wasp and a few yellow jackets feeding on one of my feeders almost 24 hours a day and running the birds off so I set out a wasp trap which worked well. No more wasps or yellow jackets and the birds eat in peace. At least from the wasps, the other birds still fight over it. The trap is cheap and easy to make or you can get one at Lowe's. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Wasp-Trap

I've read that the red coloring is bad for their kidneys. I make mine just like Peejman.

I have had 3 birds all summer but now I have 6. Maybe they have already started migrating south.

I'll be watching from my back yard.

I just got back from Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. They are expecting 300,000 visitors to the park for the eclipse. If you go there make sure you have a full tank of gas and food in the car. They don't think they will have enough gas for everyone even though they will fill the storage tanks full before the event. Restaurants and stores will probably run out of food too.

She needs to be reimbursed for any attorney fees that she might have ensued even if she doesn't sue.

No reason to feel inadequate. You seem to have tried and experienced a lot of different things and that's commendable in my book.
