TGO David

Yeah... today is the most I've surfed TGO in a single day for quite a while.

Dead before they can do you any harm is better. If you're pulling that off with a 22LR then more power to you.

I've inquired of Alan @ A-Holster to see if he can make one. If he can't, I may invest in some kydex and try my hand at it. It doesn't look too terribly difficult.

I was taking Mucinex DM just to be able to breathe. Now I'm taking Zyrtec to keep it from drowning me. Maybe I need to pop some Claritin.

I've put in enough overtime hours last week to make up for my being absent today thankfully.

It's say to say, but being home sick today has provided me with the most opportunities to surf TGO than I've had in the past three months. Friday I started noticing that my eyes were watering and then I started sneezing a lot. Allergies. Great. By Saturday evening I was feeling really lousy but I went ahead and attended a wine tasting event with some friends here on TGO. Yesterday, I was doing a little better - or so I thought. I was back in bed before 8pm and had the worst sinus headache I've had in recent memory. After that my nose ran like a faucet all night. Woke up this morning and could barely speak. They say we've had so much rain and snow this winter that we're going to have one of the most vibrant, green Springs that we've had in Tennessee in recent memory. I concur. My allergies concur. But on a positive note, I'm catching up on my forum-reading.

I don't concern myself with bigger, I concern myself with better. Better is usually most adequately expressed in terms of ballistic performance. The 9mm is typically better than the .380 in that regard.

lol... understood.

Indeed they will. I've got several laying around from when I used to own a 40c and my ex-wife had a 9c. Truth be told, it was worth parting with that gun to get rid of her. I don't anticipate using the finger extensions with this one, however. It works better in my pocket with the low-profile base plates.

I generally take my alcohol on the rocks.

Jack, I'm just curious as to why you're bumping the thread every time someone adds themselves to the map.

We're talking about guns here.

The largest caliber I've been shot with to date is .22LR ... want to carry that too? If I had the choice between carrying a .380ACP or a similarly sized 9mm, I'd carry the 9mm. If 9mm is too stout for you, I have a slingshot and some rocks you can borrow.

Typically yes I ignore almost anything published on Newsmax. They tend to be as far right as Air America was far left. Sorry.

My new pocket companion... Enjoy.

Nicely played. If I wasn't so addicted to black guns, I'd hard chrome one of mine just to have a piece as pretty as that.

They make pocket 9mm handguns as well.

At some point. I'm sick as a dog today so I'm home from work. If I'm feeling better later I'll try to get some pics. Right now I'm doing good just to sit up and use a computer.

Ok, I'll step forward. It's not worth a crap. Do I want to get shot with it? No. I've been shot before. It sucks. But there's a difference between shooting someone with something that may not do the job and shooting them with something that is going to remove them from the gene pool. I'd prefer to use the latter. For what it's worth, most folks who know a thing or two about defensive handgun ammo want rounds that penetrate deep enough to get to the parts of the human physiology that will shut them down and take them out of the fight. If you're worried about missing your target and shooting through a wall and into the adjacent apartment, the problem isn't the ammo you're using.

Recommend reading this and not necessarily trusting what ammo manufacturers say about their products since they might be biased. The Box O' Truth #1 - The Original Box O' Truth - Page 1 Of interest, the one about Extreme Shock... http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot23.htm

If I was a lean, mean fighting machine like you, I wouldn't even bother carrying a gun.

I'm reluctant to finance anything that I don't have to. Home, car... that's about it.

Holsters are like religions. Everyone's got their opinion on which is the best, and everyone else's sucks. I have Comp-Tac MTAC, Raven Concealment Phantom (OWB) and Milt Sparks VM2 for my 1911s. By far the most comfortable IWB holster for me is the Milt Sparks VM2. The MTAC is a reasonably close second with the added advantage that you can get one in under two weeks generally. That said, if you're used to carrying with a paddle holster then you're probably going to be blown away by the difference ANY of these make when you're concealing.
