I have 3 Maglula, 2 Uplula standard and small for my single stack .380 and the flipper Lula for AR magazines. I also have Hilljak for loading SR22 http://www.hilljak.com/ I also try to have enough magazines so I don't have to reload at the range.

I mentioned in a different thread but will jump in with the S&W Governor I bought here. Second picture is with my Ruger LCR 22 for scale. Jim...

Once would be to much if you landed right on the gun and it drove it into your backbone. I have been hearing for years that it isn't safe to carry the middle of the back because of back injuries. It may be all wives tales but scared me away from that location.

No problem here

Mean looking desk those nice guns are leaning against.

I actually like moon clips I have a 9mm LCR also. Makes for fast reloads and more compact than the speed loaders. I already ordered more moon clips so I can load up all I would use for a range day. Did the same thing for the 9mm. Made a de-mooning tool out of a .50 cal casing. For the 9mm it holds all the casings in the shell to be dumped at once, .45 you have to dump an extra time.

Thanks for all the advice. I had considered the .45acp for multiple guns as a plus. Currently don't have any other guns that shoot .45 but I do like having at least 2 guns for each caliber I stock :-) My wife asked if it was big enough to take down a bear when I told her it would be my woods walking gun. I told her it depended where you hit it, but would be better than my 9mm or .22 handguns.

They still nickel and dime you on top off the income tax. They just have creative ways to spend more of our money.

Thanks to TGO member Bud, I'm the new owner of a S&W Governor. I have probably already shot it more than he did. I shot a few carpender bees doing some skeet shooting off the back deck with #9 .410 plus a box of old .410 shells I had laying around just because it is fun shooting a hand canon and put a box of colt long and acp through it. The real question for me other than price is there a reason you would shoot .45acp over .45 Long Colt? I plan to shoot a lot of acp for fun because of price but was also wondering what the opinion on defensive ammo (other than the .410 options). Does the Long Colt has enough extra umph to override the larger selection of different defensive ammo in acp. The Long Colt is an impressive cartridge when you start loading it around someone that has never seen it before.

I had the cardinal problem in the past on a bedroom window. Solution was to smear glass wax on the outside of the glass and let it haze over and leave it. This blocks their reflection and they go elsewhere. When they have been gone for awhile wipe off and you have a clean window as a bonus.

I had a 1964 Rambler Classic wagon back when it was just a used car. I was the second owner but the first one drove it for 10 years in NY salt before he sold it to me. It was a great car, it had 3 on the tree and the 6cyl. I had to pop rivet a piece of galvanize over a hole in the top of the driver side fender to keep road spray from hitting the windshield. I got a few years out of it when I couldn't afford anything newer with a son on the way and house payments. Even used it as a camper a couple of times with the fold down seats that made into a bed. Still have old cars but as a collector. Two Crosleys a 49 Wagon that I bought when I was 13, that is in need of its third going through and a 51 FarmOroad. Then my big vehicle is a 50 Ford F1 stake bed. Jim...

This fellow's container were not buried very deep more of a bunker look. It was already buried when I met him so I have no idea what he did for prep, I just know it was impressive to see from the outside.

Since we are expanding into larger caches of ammo. I knew a guy that took one of the smaller cargo storage containers, the size that two fits on a flatbed tractor trailer, coated the outside with tar/waterproofing and buried it into the side of a hill so only the door was showing. He did add some extra security latches and such. He stored his reloading supplies as well as ammo. Not sure what all he had in there I was never allowed to look. He died about 15 years ago and I always wondered what happened to his stash when his widow sold everything. Never saw a sale advertised.

I use the hang under a shelf style. Gives me a place for handguns and an extra one to hang a spare pair of ear protection in case I need them in a hurry.

I thought about Unaka myself. Went for a look around and took my handgun course there. My biggest negative is the hours of the range master. My old club, before the move to TN, put every new member through a safety check out for the part of the club they wanted to use. Handguns, rifle, shotgun, then you were considered your own range master and for any guest you bring. Hours were dusk to dawn unless there was a special event.

Always nice to have another TGO member from the NE corner. Welcome

Figures, NY gun laws never did make much sense and the Safe Act just made it worse.

Looks interesting but MrShotty will not get it in NY. They will consider it cut down even if it never existed in another form. I wanted a Henry Mare’s Leg Lever Action in .22 just to play with when I was in NY. Henry lists as a pistol and I had my pistol permit. Nope, NY classified it as a cut down rifle, not for sale. It is still is on my wish list but there were so many others on the list that I couldn't buy before I moved, that I haven't gotten to it yet :-)

Do you have it setup to be bear proof?

I have a variety of storage but I'll start with the way I use to do it before I moved. I had a large decommissioned upright freezer that worked great. Had shelves in the doors to keep the high turn over calibers, lots of shelves that I mostly just stacked the boxes on sorted by caliber. Key lock door that wouldn't keep anyone out long, but it looked like a freezer. Decided to leave it behind when we moved. I have 2 of the shallower Ammo Crates like you have, because they fit in a space under the bench. I also have 2 very large ammo cans don't know the calibers but they weigh about 100lbs each when loaded, I keep them on a roller platform under the bench. These 4 boxes are longer term storage and don't get open often now that they are filled. I keep around 1000 rounds each of most calibers I shoot in the gun safe (I bought a big safe). I also use a bunch of the plastic ammo cases that Harbor Freight puts on sale all the time for around $5/ea. I keep some in the safe one caliber each with labels but I discovered they fit perfect sideways in a filing cabinet drawer. I don't remember the total count with out going down stairs but I sort by type and caliber with labels on top, easy to pull out what you need. You need to use the heavy duty office type with full slides. I found a couple of 2 draw units that I use as bases for my gun bench for Under $50 each at a surplus furniture store. I have dry packs in the bigger boxes. A rod type dehumidifier in the safe and a regular dehumidifier in the room where everything is stored. I don't have dry packs in the boxes in the file drawers, figuring they are in airtight boxes and are the next in turn to be used. Not a perfect system but it works for me for now. Oh and I keep a small stash in the bedroom for all the calibers I keep in the upstairs safe.

Let's see I'll be 70 when I need to renew, break even at 102 or so, I'll have to think about it.

We were on the East side of Rochester from RefferMac and remember digging out our 500 foot drive after a storm like they are recovering from. I remember driving home from work a couple of times that I had to roll the drivers side window down so I could see the telephone poles to be sure I stayed on the road because of blowing snow. Don't really miss it. May have been fun when I was in my 30s but that was along time ago, even did some cross country skiing back then. Never got into snowmobiles, seem to be two kinds, drive in circles in the fields or drive from bar to bar. Neither did much for me. Much prefer my Winters down here. But that is just the bonus for being able to move back to the USA.

Mouse gun in pocket holster, back pocket. Seldom do open carry but when I do it is a paddle holster at 3 o'clock with G19 usually with an over shirt so it is semi concealed. Thinking of looking into a ankle holster.

One of my favorite books to. Just watched the movie again over Christmas, was as bad as I remembered. Here is another equally obscure reason for 42. In 1966, mathematician Paul Cooper theorized that the fastest, most efficient way to travel across continents would be to bore a straight hollow tube directly through the Earth, connecting a set of antipodes, remove the air from the tube and fall through. The first half of the journey consists of free-fall acceleration, while the second half consists of an exactly equal deceleration. The time for such a journey works out to be 42 minutes. Even if the tube does not pass through the exact center of the Earth, the time for a journey powered entirely by gravity (known as a gravity train) always works out to be 42 minutes, so long as the tube remains friction-free, as while the force of gravity would be lessened, the distance traveled is reduced at an equal rate.

I asked a friend if I could show his 1946 Remington 513T Matchmaster .22 with made in Japan vintage Tasco 6-18 by 40mm target scope. He sent me that picture and a Remington branded BB gun, likely made by Crosman, with a cheap Taiwanese Tasco telescope he put together for an April Fools day joke a few years ago. The 513T is a nice shooting setup and draws a lot of attention at the range.
