Glad you are able to do some household chores for now. Yard work never ceases around here. We have 3 acers and something is always needing done. May your strength continue to increase and hope they can give you something for the stomach to help. Prayer for you today DeepSouth.

Makes me wonder how much recoil it would have in a rifle let alone a pistol. Never shot a 10 MM of any kind. Wondering if it has a l much recoil. I have fired 44 Mag rifles and survived quiet well. Had a 44 mag SW revolver but gave to my grandson in Mt Pleasant S C. FBI agents couldn't handle it in pistol form. I have had pistol caliber carbines and still have a 38 Spl 357 Mag Henry lever gun and a 40 cal Ruger rifle on hand. Just plinking guns for me. If I had to grab a rifle it would be the AR 15, at this time.

Christianity took that man full of hate and transformed him into a loveable human being loved by many. Made millions after the fight game. George Forman Grills etc. RIP George. Edited to add; Humankind is, "many times", given a lifetime to come back to God through his Son Jesus the Christ. Thats the way it supposed to be. Read it in your Bible.

I watched the video in Scotty's post. Looks like, if these guys test can be trusted, the 9 MM had a very slight advantage over the 5.7. The 5.7, most likely, would be an improvement over a 22 LR should someone need less recoil than the 9 MM and 38 Spl has. We just don't know how disabled we may become as old age sets in. I know my father had Rheumatoid Arthritis, and his fingers became so drawn he had problems holding and firing a pistol, so he went to a shotgun before he passed. He was always an excellent shot with the model 10 38 Spl he owned. He passed at age 75. Thank God I don't have his flavor of Arthritis. I have austieo(S) Arthritis. Edited top add; At 77 I still shoot the 9 MM and 357 Mag DPX pretty well but know it the next day firing the 357.

Thanks for the post guys. Doesn't seem a likely pistol caliber I would want to go too. I have the 9's and 38/357 mag.

Does anyone have any experience with the 5.7 pistol? Just read an article, by James Tarr in Dec 24 Guns and Ammo magazine about the Caliber. If memory serves me that shooter that shot up Fort Hood used a 5.7. It was quite effective there. Tarr said he was in a class with a man from USCCA and he told James they were involved with a shooting by one of their members, and the round was very effective in that self-defense situation. Has anyone shot one? The stats on the caliber is really up there in good standing with some rifle ballistics. Also was tested in gelatin and it performed adequately (12" penetration consistently) from a 40 gr HP used in the test. Tarr said it was not much more punishing than shooting a 22 LR load and far less recoil than 9 MM. It appears there are several ammo companies offering both practice and S D ammo for the caliber, so my interest is aroused. Not getting younger you know. Arthritis and everything detrimental to good shooters in creeping in on me. Wondering if this is a real option for self-defense purposes for older persons who may have difficulties with 9 MM and above.

My grandson just got a Glock 43 for his 21st birthday. Not sure it is a X model. It had 2 holsters, kydex outside and IWB, and 5 magazines with it. His dad purchased it from a co-worker the said he had 950.00 in all of it, and he got it for 600.00. Said previous owner shot 2 boxes of ammo through it. Son in law also got some ammo in the deal. Looked new. I believe it also had an electronic sight of some kind and a under brl mounted flashlight with a green Lazer built in the light. Me think he did well, if you want a Glock.

" Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out." Got this from a lady in Thousand Oaks California writings.

The men who are taking the trees out are here. They are going to cut 5 large strait logs and stack them on my back yard shooting range so I can increase the backstop to shoot into. A win win for me. I will spray them with termite spray, and they should last a good while. Edited to add; I have 2 very good chain saws but had a heart attack last April. I just turned 77 the 4th of this month. Have 11 stents in my heart. Not in the cards for me cutting 7 large trees and trimming 8 more. I have cut many many trees in my younger days as we used a wood heater for 20 years to heat in the winter. A MAN MUST KNOW HIS CAPIBILITIES. I ain't got it anymore guys. That's life! Edited to add; It has been really hard to realize my health, strength, and abilities leaving me. Just a wobble old man now, however I am content and happy and have the "promise" God grants to all through His Son Jesus Christ. Man can't ask for anything more than a good family life and peace at the end of one's life. I have been blessed because I have accomplished the things one must do to be able to take advantage of God's Grace. If you are old like me, and you want peace, find Jesus Christ. No one comes back to God except through HIM.

They took all the cameras, at stop signs, a few years back in Murfreesboro. Was glad to see them go. Very much money makers for the County or City. Edited to add; The company that owned the cameras got some of the proceeds also. Was accused of shortening the time between orange to red so they could make more. Don't know if that was ever proven but enrage city dwellers.

With the wind this morning, I am wishing the trees were already gone. Blowing very hard her in Lascassas, which is 8 miles east of Murfreesboro TN. Hope none of you guys have any damage today. We do need the rain but not the wind.

Don't post pictures. Sorry Very large trees though. I don' climb any longer so at tree surgeon's mercy.

Having 7 trees removed and 8 more trimmed come Monday. Costing me 4800.00. Some of these trees are leaning over our house and only 30 feet away. These trees are from 40 to 55 feet tall and probably over 60 years old. We have lived here for 40 years, and they were large when we built our house. I had them trimmed 15 years ago and they have grown back and now several has leaned over the house if they would fall. Lots of money but it is not getting any cheaper to take them out. I mean some of these trees are very tall and large most hackberries and one 55' wild cherry, and one 55' ceder.

I shoot sometimes on my property in Rutherford County. Have no neighbors real close. My yard is 300' across the back and I guess another 300' from my property line to the nearest house. I don't shoot before 8AM and after 6 PM. Never had any problems with my neighbors. Been doing this for 40 years.
