Moped

They will not get any cheaper. I've seen it time after time. Cheap Mil-Surps show up on the market and when they are all gone, the prices start rising.

I volunteer to be adopted, if you are looking. I'm 58, kinda lazy at times. Like to hike, camp and shoot, but I don't eat much!

I got this one new, off Harvey's Pistol and Pawn's Auction site for $400. Total cost out the door is $436. I just put it in lay-a-way. Probably will get it out in a couple of months. www.harveysauctions.com I think that's a steal on a quality 1911! Harvey's has an SDS Imports Tisas 1911a1 Service 9mm on auction right now for $350.

Here is a deal! I went into Point Blank, here in Knoxville, just a bit ago and they have these on sale for $4.99!!! They have the Size 0, 15 and 19 in stock! https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1017398443 I'm not normally an Uncle Mike's kinda guy, but I do use a couple of their products. For the price, I picked up a Size 0 and 15. Figured that I'd give them a try for that price!

Y'all are too funny! I'm 6'-3" and weight 230lbs. I primarily carry IWB at 3 or 4 oclock. I have a varity of holsters that I use, depending on the pistol I am carrying. For my S&W 442, I use a DeSantis Sof-tuck. It's a bit of pain to reholster, sometimes though, because the front of the cylinder wants to catch on the leather, but very comfortable. Other than that, it's pretty nice and I can tuck my shirt in. For my Ruger LC9S, I use a We The People Kydex holster and it works great! Easiest holster to reholster my pistol, that I own. For my Walther PPK, I have a Versa Comfort Flex holster. Does a really nice job!!! Lastly, for my .45ACP XDs I have a Texas 1836 Crusader that I love! Great holster!!!

I just put a SDS Imports Tisas 1911A1 U.S. Army in lay-a-way! I was impressed with the fit and quality. I hope it shoots as good as it looked!

When I carry the XDs, I have extra 7 round mags that I carry in a mag holster. The bases on those mags, have a bad tendency to dig into my side. Other than that, I really like the little pistol! However... my Favorite LGS, has the new Springfield 9mm XDs with the CT reddot on it for $499... and the . 45ACP XDs might get traded... Haven't decided yet. Might trade the S&W 442 instead...

My Small Gun Rotation is a Ruger LC9S Pro, a XDs .45acp, a S&W 442, a Walther Stainless PPK and a Ruger LCP for when I need a really small pistol. It used to be a Keltec P32, that I "lent" to my daughter... I'll never see that one again. Currently, I'm carrying the XDs .45ACP. My wife is carrying the LC9S.

It depends on the situation. When I hike, I almost always carry a .357 revolver. But when running around doing errands, I carry a semi-auto. One of those cheap plastic ones that take little skill to produce, but shoot great and don't pull my pants down around my ankle. I'm not a fan of suspenders...

I'm glad you answered that. It was something I wondered about for a very long time now. Great answers, too,

I usually carry one of three pistols, a S&W 442 with two speed strips, a Walther PPK with two extra mags or a Ruger LC9S Pro with two extra 9 round mags. I see no reason to carry anymore than that.

Oops! Wrong thread!

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh. I know that it wasn't funny at the time, but... That sounds like something my wife would also do... or she'd take great pleasure in pulling it out and causing me pain...

That would be my recommendations.

Keltec is one of the most frustrating companies! They come out with interesting designs, but damn, you can never find them in shops!

Change to a bit heavier recoil spring for 230 gr. Ball, if you can handle the harder racking slide. This is my next purchase! The ones I’ve handled seem to be great pistols! Especially for the money!

Beautiful knife!

I don't think that's been proven, that's it's rare. It seems the antibodies will work for a short time period, but then you can get it again. And from what I've read, the second time around is much more deadly.

DA .357. I actually carry a S&W 442 on all my hikes. I’m not as concerned about 4 legged predators, as I am the two legged kind. That being said, I’m stepping up to my Taurus 627 Tracker with a 4” barrel, starting soon.

Back in the day, I don't think the mags dropping free was a desirable feature. They wanted them to eject about a half inch or so. Less chance of losing a mag in the heat of battle. and empty mag can be reloaded. A lost or damaged mag, can effectively make a semi-auto, a single shot. Europe was especially slow about adopting a drop free mag. Remember the original Glocks didn't drop free either.

Actually no! I have a Ruger 10/22 BackPacker in layaway. https://ruger.com/products/1022Takedown/specSheets/21182.html

I stopped in at my LGS this afternoon and paid on my Layaway and I fella was buying a new .357 single action and he bought a box of .38 wadcutters. I think this is also a part of the shortage. You got to figure that a new purchase is getting a box of shells too, if they can get them.

I was noticing that trend in Knox County last month too. I stand corrected. Since I last reported the Stats in Knox County, on Jan. 23rd, there have only been a 120 deaths reported. The two weeks prior to that, there were 70 deaths. So that number has come down too!

When I was fat(ter), I used to buy the RK jeans. They're cheap, but they never really fit right and their dang zippers are too short. Since Knoxville gota Duluth store, I've been buying more and more of my cloths there. Haven't tried the jeans yet, but that's coming, I can already tell. Till then, I will stick to my Wrangler jeans, Megallen hiking pants and Key overalls. I will say Duluth has the best boxer briefs coming or going. They are very proud of them, so when I catch them on sale, I buy a pair or three. Boys, you got to try a pair of these!!! https://www.duluthtrading.com/men/underwear/boxers-and-briefs/dang-soft/?msclkid=d8f90e1639e41ba86f376e5020d9b950

That group will get the job done! Nice pistol!
