My new 686 7 shot has a 3" brl on it. I like the 3" barrels. I pocket carry and the one I have is just a little too large to pocket carry in my carpenter jeans. I purchased this revolver for a nightstand tool and the 3" works fine for that. Keep it stocked with Cor Bon DPX in 357.

Lots of lollie in steel. Don't have near as much as you do on my range. Nice setup Loid.

Guy told me to use a little Dawn dishwashing detergent in my sprayer as a surfactant.

Nice looking pistol, but I don't want to start a new caliber and am sticking with 38/357, 9 MM and 40 MM for now. I have purposefully stayed away from the 30 and 5.7 calibers. Hope you enjoy your new tool. good luck with the ammo thing.

Friend told me today it cost 250.00 to renew tags in TN now. That is how they are recouping the gas tax money. There is also a fire danger to the batteries. I see them on the side of the road "some times" while traveling in our RV. Also see older cars also, but not newer ones. Me, not interested in an EV.

Had our asphalt parking lot sealed, at our church, and they used sand mixed in for that non slip purpose. Don't know if it would work for yours, Lucky.

Thanks for the responses, guys. I could never get a straight answer on how much it cost to charge the EVs, although there are a bunch of variables connected with electric cars. I got into a solar water heater and it never paid for itself before the thing went south. When it went south no one would work on it and one could not get parts for them. Had I not received a big tax credit, when I purchased it in the 80's, I would have lost big money on it. I figure the EVs will cost more money than Gas or diesel powered machines let alone the hinderance of having to charge them very often. I have a grandson who purchased an EV, but he did not keep it long. My daughter said it needed charging every time he wanted to go somewhere out of his routine and he didn't have enough juice to get where he was going. All a big boon-doggle, IMO. Doubt I will ever purchase one unless forced too.

Does anyone here know what it cost to recharge a totally electric car at a charging station?

I have only one male bird this year so far. Woodpeckers are emptying my feeders.

Praying for Sarah remission.

Only statement to make is, "He attacked me, there is his Knife/Gun/Weapon, he/she is a witness, Sir I will file a complaint against this man for attacking me, I was in fear of losing my life so I fired out of self-defense, Say to Police officer, Sir you know how serious this situation is so "I need exercise my 5th amendment right and I need an attorney". Say NOTHING else about the case, period. Expect to be detained and hopefully you have some type of "Self-defense insurance", because you are going to need it really bad. My wife and I are members of the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network, (360-878-1975). Call them and they will talk to you. "Very Reasonable cost." I don't work for them but do have "some" peace of mind should I be forced into a bad situation. Pray I will never need their services. I consider this cost the same as homeowners or health insurance. My advice, "If you carry a gun, you need it."

I once carried extra firearms insurance but quit several years ago. I am 75 and never lost a firearm. I also have a Cannon Big Boy Gun Safe bolted to the floor, and good locks and security doors on our home. I had a policy with NRA Lockton policy for years. Nothing wrong with this insurance. Never had ammo insurance and not sure one can purchase that type of coverage. Now a substantial supply of ammo is almost worth more than the guns. I will say I am not a collector of real valuable guns, but mine are to me and I can understand one's concerns. Hope you never have any loss. Edited to add; Had a friend who asked me about this type of insurance. I went over to his house and he had doors on the house that one could blow hard on and get in. I told him he would be better off spending the insurance premiums on his house and getting rid of the cheap hollow core doors then hardening entry to it. Hollow core doors and just door handle locks are a joke. Very little security with them.

I pocket carry a Ruger Max 9 in a DeSantis or Remora pocket holster every Sunday to church. IWB I go with SW MP 9MM 2.0 in a Comp Tac IWB holster. Preferer the IWB carry in cooler weather with outside shirt untucked. Every day carry is a 7 shot Taurus revolver in modified DeSantis pocket holster carried in Carpenter shorts or jeans with deep pockets. I make it a point to purchase only jeans that have large pockets. In winter I do carry in an OWB in a Galco blet slide holster some, but one must use a cover garment with this mode of carry. I never carry open carry. I also carry every, day even at home. Just returned from visiting our daughter in the Charleston S Carolina area and I never seen so many "NO" concealed carry signs in businesses. Several years ago, they had the church shooting, and a few weeks back, during spring breakers visit, they had a shooting on the Isle of Palms beach. Charleston has become very woke and un-gun friendly. Also S Carolina State Law prohibits church carry, so I had to leave my "Roscoe" in the locked glove box with the doors locked also.

I have not smoked any type of fish, but had some fried catfish yesterday. The pieces of fish were about 10" long so we fried it with an egg dip then Corn Meal, and it was great. Just a little sea salt and pepper was the ticket for us. Baked fresh asparagus left crisp, cold slaw, and beans to go with it. Meal fit for a King! Have not fried fish in years. Purchased the fish from Kroger, and the guy said it had just arrived and was fresh. Had no fishy smell.

Not seen any black H_B's but have had Downey Woodpeckers drinking from my 2 H-B feeders already this year.

We have a grossbeak pair feeding at our feeder this week. they will be here for a few days and i know they are on the way north. I am about thorough feeding as the cow birds and black birds are storming the feeders and running a lot of other birds off. I have some that are eating almost a half cake of suiet daily. Got enough feed to last till next week then it will be over till fall. Have 2 male hummingbirds for now.

My prayers are and have been with these victims and their families, however local news mentions this event, as sad as it was, every night since it has happened. They will not let it die because they want to influence the public, and TN Government to ban guns, IMO. Sad use of a public trust. (the air waves). Media is a small part of the problem by publicizing these events. Mental illness is a major problem in these events. Edited to add; Dare I mention "Gun Free Zones."

My father had one of these flashlights when I was a kid.

I wanted a lever gun for years. Looked at the Henry's every time I went to the gun store. When the gun shop put the display case in their store they were 550.00 a few years back. I fooled around until they rose to 750.00 and finally, about 8 years back, purchased a Henry Big Boy in 38/357. It was hard to spend that much Lollie on it, but they aren't gettin no cheaper, are they? I purchased the brass one and have really enjoyed that thing for years now. My youngest made me promise she could have it when I am through with it. Holly and her family love the gun. She told me it was her favorite rifle. Guys just something about cranking that lever! My rifle is more accurate than I am. Holly can bang center target at 50 yards constantly with that rifle. I told her she could have it, but just not yet. Just purchased a new SW 686, 7 shot 3" revolver to stand along with the rifle. Good combination IMO. Both in 38/357. I am a 357 fan.

Just got a ad from Outpost Armory, located in Murfreesboro TN. They have 9 MM USA (Winchester) 115 gr RN and PMC 115 gr RN 9 MM on sale for 12.99 per box of 50, if that interest you. Pretty good price for around here. I don't work for them. YMMV Edited to add; Sale is from 4 May to the 7th.

I just did that 3 weeks ago. Went to Outpost Armory looking for ammo on a sale they had going on. Told myself I would go to he revolver case and purchase an 8 shot 5" brl revolver for a house gun. They had a ported Taurus Tracker, but it didn't call out my name. A 7 shot 3" 656 revolver did, and it came home with me. So much for the 8 shot 5" I went there looking for. By the way the ammo came home also. They have been having some good sales on ammo lately. Purchased Sig Sour 357 mag HP's self-defense for 14.99 per box of 20. Haven't seen that price since before Coved. Edited to add; Outpost Armory, in Murfreesboro, has 9 MM USA (Winchester) 115 gr RN and PMC 9 MM 115 gr RN on sale, and both are 12.99 per box of 50. Sale last 4 may thru 7th. Good prices around here.

I gave my grandson a Stevens 410 my dad purchased for me in 1956 for my birthday. He has been squirrel hunting with it, and loved it, however he is like the younger generation and wants high horsepower for now. I know you guys know what I am saying, you may have even been there back then. He prefers his dads new Beretta 12 Ga for turkey hunting, well you know, it is heavy hitting. I was just like him at that age. Age has made many things different now. The 410 will kill them, but they need to be closer. About 35-40 yards is the limit for the 410, IMO.

I have a Ruger Ranch Rifle in 223/556. It is the second generation and is accurate for what it is. By no means a tack driver at 100 yards, but much better accuracy than the first generation of Mimi 14's. If I were purchasing for the "bans," I would go with a good lever gun in 38/357 and a good Revolver of the same caliber. I think that is the safest bet, however if they go after repeaters then the lever gun may be in danger. I just purchased a new 656 7 shot revolver 3" brl and wanted an 8 shot with a 5" brl. They didn't have a SW 8 shot in stock. Had a Taurus Tracker ported 5" but I didn't feel it. I do like the new 7 shot with 3" brl, and have had it out 2 times now and it is sweet. Don't like the stupid Clinton lock though. Edited to add; I just ordered a new black leather belt slide/paddle holster, from Galco, for the 3" SW Revolver. Gotta have some way to carry the Revolver.

I purchased a Chevy 2500 HD Duramax 6 years ago. it was in a fire in Gatlingburg and melted the front end. Purchased it AS IS and my son-in-law repaired the damage and had it painted. Paid 7,200.00 and cost me 3,00.00 to get it repaired. The truck had 80,000 on it. We use it to pull an 35' 5th wheel RV. It is a club cab with the 8' bed. Very long wheel base and it sails down the interstate like a big ship. Very stable on the road. Only thing I have done to it is change oil and drive it. I lucked out. My son in law said with the 130,000 miles on it now, it is now broken in good. The body is still in very good condition. I laughingly refer to it as my Land Yat. Hope to head out west at least one more time.

I have had knee replacement and must be very careful with dental visits. Take 4-500 Mg tablets of antibiotics every time I get my teeth cleaned or any dental work performed. Infect can migrate from mouth to the knee, and the knee joint will need to be removed to clear up the infection, so my Dr says.
