My preference would also be for a firearm, but in a SHTF situation where I might have limited ammo, I'd rather have an air rifle for putting small game on the table. If not that, then a slingshoot with 00buck. I currently have a Daisy Powerline slingshoot that I keep in my BOB along with some ammo for it. I'd love to have a slingshot from this guy though. Welcome To A+ Slingshots

That's about what I have in my Saiga too. It's also in .223.

This is the reason your hearing it now.

Mark, do you know what you want to sell them for? It looks like quality work!!! BTW, where did you get the leather from? There is one leather shop here in Knoxville. I don't know if they have good prices or not.

Great looking job Mark!!! The Crown Royal Bag was for storing the head in your pack when it's not together. Most people I know ditch the little safety screw all together, so it comes off rather easy for breaking down and storage. Have you had a chance to use them yet?

I think the Hi-Power in 9mm is an excellent pistol. I know nothing about the .40 though. I had my Hi-Power stolen during a burglary several years ago and I miss it.

I got to agree with this! Wasn't there a show on back in the fall, where a family is into the prepper thing and the dad actually made his on powder and fired a cap and ball pistol with it? Seems like it was on TLC. Any way, I'd have a hard time making black powder too. Those of you that are going to try out archery, you might want to learn how to make a bow and arrows. From experience I know arrows are easily lost. And it stands to reason that at some point a bow is going to break and need to be replaced or repaired. Not to mention the need to learn flint knapping. Of course, one source of arrowheads could be spoons. They are of the general shape already. A little hammer and file work would probably turn them into half decent two bladed broadheads.

It's easy to "spot" and "stripe" a carbon steel knife with mustard as well. I also used tobacco juice on an old Case Muskrat. That was on accident. I was sucker with the Muskrat at the time.

You can also pick them up at the local Gun Shows for about $110. That's about as cheap as they come anymore unless you have a C&R license.

They do? I think not. There is no paperwork to transfer over in the State of Tennessee, unless you want a BOS. I've never required a BOS from a relative or a friend. I think you best bet is to either report it stolen and by who. The police may not do anything about, since it's a he said/she said, but a report will be filed and you should keep a copy of it in your records. Or write it off as a lesson learned and move on.

You'll love that little pistol! They are fantastic shooters!

Got an idea on price? Man, I could see the Libs in Congress having a cow over this one!!! Awesome looking gun!

Neat looking! I think if that design pans out, those will be a lot more popular!

Millions of U.S. Service men went into battle with the cheapest of 1911s. No need to buy and expensive safe queen. Buy a RI, Taurus, S&W or Springer and you'll have all you ever need. There are much better uses for the money you will save. Use the money somewhere else or to help someone else.

I can tell you this scares the crap out of me. I work for a large Engineering Firm in the Water/Waste water sector. In the past we have always been able to ride out recessions, because the Government (Federal, State and Local) would pump money into infrastructure projects and pay for them with bond issues. If the State Governments start defaulting on their Bonds, there will be no money to finance these projects and they will dry up quick. Our business will go down the tubes along with most of the Construction Industry. That's a lot of people out of work. I've already changed jobs once because of the public sector engineering drying up and the company I currently work for, laid off most of the people doing it's public sector work over the last year. And now this. This could be very bad indeed!

+1!

I have a Condor OU and it's been a great 12ga. Really good value!

Serrations don't impress me. I prefer a plain blade.

Beautiful folder!!! Smoky Mountain Knife Works carries Queen.

Me, I've been stocking up. Figured I'd take my calorie store with me where ever I go.

Man, I hate to see a man taken to the cleaners! It's obvious that that G19 has been can't group under two inches. Poor abused thing! You should just send it to me. Looks like you got a great deal! Congrats!

You all are forgetting the Tokarev. I don't owe one, nor have I fired one, but it has to be one of the flattest pistols I've ever handled. I always found them to be ugly, but they fit my hand very well. I think they would conceal very well. Better say than a Colt Commander or a Radom.

BTW, this isn't a Tax Cut. It's just keeping the same tax rate. If they fail to pass the extension as agreed upon by the Republicans and the President, then it will be a TAX HIKE! Biggest in American history is what is being said.

Hey! I got a Springer too! It's a loaded and I love it! My Colt Agent is still my go to pistol, but like my Glock 17, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up my Springer either! Here they both are! The Agent got some character to it, but it's still a fine shooting pistol! http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/

No sure I would go that route anymore. Since I first started this thread, I've re-evaluated my thinking on firearms. First of all, if your on the move, a 1000 rounds of 9mm is going to get REAL heavy quick. If your on foot, your not going to be able to carry that much around. If your in a vehicle, a 1000 rounds takes up a lot of space that might be better served for say a 5 gallon jug of water or food or maybe a large box of nails or something else that's critical to survival. That's one thing that makes the .22 so nice. You can carry a lot rounds without having a lot of weight or taking up critical space that would be better used for something more important. If your not on the move, you need to ask yourself, is 9mm enough for defense or hunting? If I were hunkered down, I think I'd go toward a true rifle round like .223, 30/30, .308, 7.62x39 or 30-06. I'd want something that would reach out and touch something at a greater distance than a 100 yards. I probably wouldn't have a bunch of pistol ammunition. I'd want a lot of rifle rounds, though. Thousands if I were hunkered down, in fact. I'd also have a reloader, powder, bullets and primers. And thousands and thousands of rounds of .22lr and several rifles to rifles to shoot them with.
