  1. I’d take as much as I can get. I find myself shooting 10mm almost exclusively these days. I can also trade some of my new nickel .38 special brass or small primer .45 ACP.
  2. I’d stick to Glock. Since you already have a 20. Glock really is the best option out there for 10 mil. I’m a 1911 fan, but don’t care for the safety or the round count. I don’t personally care for the grip on an XD, and all the Sig options feel to big and heavy for what they are. Plus I like the low bore axis on the Glock, it really tames the 10mm recoil.
  3. Want to keep a revolver in the wife’s fishing kit. Don’t need anything fancy, just something to keep on hand for snakes and such.
  4. Great condition. East access to bag, and great for off body carry. I prefer the sling bag option, faster and easier to draw, plus you always keep bag and armor on you, ie, when drawing from sling bag, you pull the back around your front and it automatically places the body armor right in front of your vitals. Bag is $150, for $200 I’ll include the IIIA ballistic panel/body armor panel. Great bag, just have a back injury and can’t carry it anymore.
  5. So, I’m 5’6, 170 lbs ish. My clothes aren’t tight, but aren’t baggy either. I can conceal my G29 better than my G19. The shorter grip really makes it a breeze to carry. won’t lie, it has significantly more felt recoil than the 20 does, but that is par for the course. Shoot it a few times and you figure out how to handle it. Another option is a chest holster, which would hold either the 20 or 29. That puts the gun in a different place that may be more comfortable for your needs. Also still easily concealed under a jacket if needed. I will say, the 29 is a touch wider, it is tight in my G20 holsters.
  6. My bad. I though I had a loophole since this is my own thread. I will judge no more.
  7. $650 seems a little steep for a $500 gun.
  8. Looking for a Glock 26. Maybe consider a 43 as well or a 27. I’m not super particular on caliber but do prefer 9mm double stack so I can share mags.
  9. It sale falls through I’ll take some.
  10. 1. Reliability 2. fit in hand. Doesn’t matter how good I shoot it, the grip on an XD just gives me the willies. Like walking around in a wet sock or licking a tongue depressor. 3. Ability to accept multiple mags. I like a Glock 26, but like to have a 17 or even 20 round mag as a backup. 4. Night sights.
  11. Good scope. A little older, but still works great and holds a tight zero. Upgraded to a new scope on my rifle. $200. Nashville area.
  12. Great little scope, just don’t need it. Had it on wife’s rifle, but she needs a red dot due to some eye sight issues. $50. Nashville area. Comes with QD rings.
  13. 6.8 SPC or .277 Wolverine (just cause it sounds cool). For a big bore I went with .50 Beowulf. If I were telling someone to build a big bore, I would probably say .450 Bushmaster, it will be the easiest to get ammo for and big bores are fun. .458 SOCOM for a reloaded since they have a wide variety of .45-70 bullets. Both are better options than the .50... but I wanted a .50. In reality I know I would have been better with something else, but the heart wants what the heart wants. To answer the question, with the options you listed, as a decent all around gun, .300 Blackout. Best variety of factory loaded ammo, from plinking to subsonic, to hunting ammo. Strong second would be .350 Legend, but I don’t think it has quite the versatility the Blackout does.
  14. Looking for 10mm brass. Not too particular on brands or number of times shot. I don’t keep track of any of that, I just shoot ‘em till they split. Nashville area.
  15. Great watch, keeps good time, automatic movement, GMT so it tracks 2 time zones. Screw down crown, 200 meters of water resistance. Multi colored Tritium vials at the hour marks, 12 o’clock pip, and on all hands, so always glows. Comes with full kit, including all stickers, keychain, travel case, and all paperwork. Includes both the Deep Blue bracelet with diving extension, and a Deep Blue silicone strap. Sell for $500 OBO, one currently listed on eBay for $800. Or I’m open to trades on guns/gun stuff/reloading gear and supplies, plate carrier with plates, or knives. Not super concerned about trade value if it is something I like.

    Trunk gun

    I dunno. I was stationed in Camp Lejeune it was always hot and nearing 100% humidity. We would frequently travel to The Desth Valley area and temps would exceed 110. I’d much rather take a blistering dry heat over a hot and humid. Also, you may be surprise how hot the trunk of your car gets when sitting in the sun. I think that’s why they say not to put your baby in the trunk (or something like that).
  17. I’m a staunch hater of PCCs. If I am going to carry something the size of a rifle, I want the advantage of a rifle caliber. To me PCCs are the worst of both worlds, too big and too underpowered. Then I got a Ruger PC Charger. I know that is different from the standard Ruger PC9. But holy cow, the ability to share mags with Glocks, the super light recoil, the takedown option, I can really burn through some ammo. Add to that, the Charger has the folding stock and short barrel, it’s just loads of fun. Practically, I still can’t see much of an advantage, but we don’t always need to be practical.
  18. I have a milsurp M17. Omega is right about them being a pain to change out the filters. We actually bought this one for adding chemicals to our pool. We use all liquid chemicals and liquid chlorine and muriatic acid make a combination close to mustard gas. I’m using old milsurp filters and we can’t smell anything when mixing chemicals. Now, if I knew I’d be encountering CBRN agents, I’d get a better mask, but for my needs this works, and I’d trust it in a pinch if the SHTF. Also, I doubt you will find one that would go over your glasses. The frame of the glasses would break the seal on a mask rendering it useless.
  19. Ok. I can certainly admit when I’m out of my depth on something, just don’t have enough experience with pistol optics. It’s something about the slide milling that gets me. If I had an optics ready gun, I’d probably take the plunge, but having to send my slide o to get milled is just not something I’m ready to dive into. So, I’ll ask the optics guys, do you run optics in all your guns? Some of your guns? Just your target guns? Just your carry guns?
