These are excellent little pistolas..! Small with plenty of firepower. Highly recommend. Buy without hesitation if ya need a pocket pistola. Wish ya were closer. GLWS ... leroy...

I'ma thinkin Meprolight makes some nice buis sets. I've got a set on an AR. I like em. As I remember, I dot up front, 2 horizontal dots in the center of the peep. They are well worth the price, s but north of $100... I'll see if I can find em n post a link. leroy....

I've long been concerned about the " assassination " thing and it's effect on either side of the political spectrum here in the US. I think it's God's Prevenient Hand that has brought DWT ( and others ) this far. I have little doubt that if ole DW were to get a cold, some hackles would come up and some folks would commence ta thinkin, and possibly doin some bad things. Here's hopin n praying that nothing happens to anyone on the political scene here in the US. I'ma thinkin the results would be disastrous for all. leroy...

There is a " de facto secession " going on in Texas right now. Others, about abeit quieter ones are going on in other states, both Red and Blue. The truth is that the Federal Gubmt has lost the confidence of most of the citizenry, and all of em ain't MAGA Republicans n Libertarians. The result of all this deconstructon of confidence in gubt will flare up as various trouble, no matter who sits in the white house or congress. We are at the point of state nullification of Federal Law. That's what the Articles of Confederation were all about... Everybody minds his own business on a state by state business, and only united against " commin enemies ". That's what Texas has done, and they ain't the only ones doin it. The " Trouble " thing ain't an " If " it's a " when and where ". If I lived in a blue state I would move; if a 50/50, I would sure move. The reason to be armed is clear and to tighten the circle of trusted friends is clear. That said, I think that things will stay calm in Tennessee outside the usual idiotic places, and we all know where they are. We are moving back to the " Frontier ". Stay watchful, armed, prepared, and vigilant. watchin leroy... The armed crumudgeon

Lock.... I'm like you. I think a ported ( or compensated) shotgun is a good idea. I've got a few friends that use em to good effect with sporting clays shooting. I'm sure the benefits of recoil reduction are much better with the heavier shotgun loadings... leroy...

I'ma 243 fan myself. Remember, they are a 6 mm 08. That's what makes em great. Low recoil, highly accurate. I'm waiting for Ruger to build a SFAR in 243... leroy...

All the handhelds are basically the same power. Five watts. There ain't any " superpower handhelds ". I'm sure the portables n base receivers can be souped up, but ya have to know what ya are doing. Lotsa folks like the Bofeng stuff, I'm wary of it. I never recommend em unless ya are broke. The mainline radio guys are the standard of the radio industry. Bofeng ain't. Let that sink in a bit and see if ya are willing ta chance em in a serious situation. That said; I know Lotsa folks who like em, but they are playing with em, not using them in serious situations. Additionally, I had a " senior " moment, and failed to mention one of the great radio lines, ICOM ( AKA Standard Horizon ). They own the marine radio business. We used em everywhere in marine operations. The " marine band " is a VHF band. I highly recommend em leroy...

I use a VHF radio in my trainwatchin hobby. Several good ones out there. I listen a lot. All the old line ham brands are good ( think Kenwood, Alinco, Yaesu ). I've owned em all. The big secret to radios is their antenna. Do some studying here. It's easy to find. That said, when I get uneasy about things I buy ammo. HEHEHE. leroy...

Brother Gaston revolutionized the handgun world. The bad was he laid to rest the grand old tradition of blue steel and walnut loved by so many of us here and around the world. The good news is that his " Tupperware pistolas " made everybody a gunsmith, armed everybody at a reasonable price, and birthed a great new generation of ultra reliable, albeit ugly pistolas. A truly earthshaking and momentus accomplishment for this funny looking guy from Austria who apparently didn't like his family n did like pretty women. " Rest in Peace Gaston "... You did great things for all us gun affectionados, armed armies, and made " honored retirement " possible for all the grand blue steel n walnut masterpieces who came before. If that ain't a great legacy, I simply don't know what is. Saluting leroy... The Gaston Glock memorial orator n affectionado....

Brother Spiffy... I feel your pain Brother... I usta could do everything. Now I can do nothing, and don't try... SIGH. The years have taken their toll... Sad leroy... The " non fixit person...

What Mista Triple GGG said. The 357 SIG gives the actual performance that was promised by the 9mm revolution cheerleaders. Only the 9mm P plus plus can come close, no matter what the " experts " say. It is inherently accurate and extremely reliable due to the bottleneck design. I have two of em. It is an excellent cartridge that simply didn't catch on. leroy...

Just change channels Brother... HEHEHE non watching leroy, the " Old Crumudgeon "

Remember the words of a very famous gunsmith, machinist, and custom gun guy who shall remain anonymous... When asked: "... Which gun lube do you recommend ".? The answer: " Buy the one on sale " . All this stuff works n works very well. Do not even take in by the " oil " Snake Oil Salesmen n cheerleaders... leroy ..

Mista Rick just excellently articulated the reason for reloading in today's environment... Simply said; it's excellently performing ammo tailored to your specific rifle... You simply cannot buy custom tailored ammo optimized for your specific rifle... Thank you, Brother, for explaining this clearly n completely. leroy...

CNC machining and synthetic stocks have made all rifles accurate. Everything is straighter, squarer, and to finer tolerances than the old stuff. The older handmade stuff is far more beautiful. It just ain't necessarily more accurate. Pick out the one ya like, they all work very well. leroy...

Don't hunt myself, but the most of my ole buddies who did liked Contenders of various flavors. Lotsa 30 Waters wuz used on deer... leroy...

Ya beat me to it Brother... The " Smartest Man in the World " has met his Maker; and not a minute too soon. remembering leroy...

Yup... I like the internal hammer idea. Ain't handled one though. leroy.

Wish you wuz closer Brother... SIGH. This is a great deal... GLWS. leroy ...

In the case of my old eyes... The bigger the better. There are some Chevron type reticles I like. leroy...

I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm a photographer myself. I used ta buy " real " photo bags. Now I go to eBay n search for used Crumpler or Timbuk2 messenger bags. Ya can buy em for almost nothin used. My top buying price is about $35 to $40 each. They are the messenger type bags from little to big. They are cheap and they don't scream " valuable photo gear inside ". They are also great range bags. The big ones can carry more than you can. They are well made and very handy. There are probably a half dozen laying around the house now doing either photo equipment, ammo, or pistola duty. leroy... The " hippy bike bag man "...

There's lotsa truth in this. I'm careful what ammo I buy as to brand. Another plus with reloading is " tailoring " loads... leroy...
