I'm with you @Thursty the tang safety is a plus in my book.

That is quite a project, but I like the end result. You do great work.

Any of these ring a bell? https://www.eatthis.com/failed-restaurant-chains-1990s/

Good to have you here. Thanks for doing your time with Uncle Sam. It's appreciated. Hopefully you found those Ruger Service Six revolver grips. I'm a GP-100 fan. Ruger makes some stout six guns. They're all pretty good.

Dang @alleycat72, you and your buddies have definitely found a hot spot of hogs there in TX. I used to hunt south of San Antonio, near Devine, and we'd get maybe three apiece (3 hunters) on a weekend hunt & we had fun & were happy with that. Your setup is sweet, too (night vision & suppressor.) Definitely the way to go. Maybe that's what's helping you all get so many multiples; you aren't nearly as loud as we were, running our unsuppressed guns. And - for the record for those still unsure since it came up earlier - hogs are perfectly fine to eat. Just gut 'em, skin 'em, & get them on ice (in a cooler) quickly. Roasts & sausage were my favorite "wild boar" meats.

In my first hand, been there & done that experience, standard CCI 500 small pistol primers failed to ignite the H110 powder of my .357 Mag load. First time, while tapping the stuck bullet out of the barrel/forcing cone juncture, I thought it had to be a fluke so I tried it again. Nope, not a fluke, as I tapped yet another stuck bullet out of the barrel. Lesson learned - if trying to ignite H110 (or W296; same thing), use a small pistol magnum primer (like a CCI 550).

Thanks for sharing your experience, which should save others from the same trouble. Amazon becomes more & more like eBay every day. You just never seem to know if you will get the genuine product or not.

Recent or not, it points to an obvious disregard to never point a gun at something you don't want to be shot. Why the rules of trap (or any other shotgun "game") don't expressly forbid it surprises me. Horrible example of "do as we say, not as we do." Gruesome picture = good reminder.

For those that can't read it, here's a snippet: Death Valley National Park located the couple’s missing white Subaru off Gold Valley Road. A note on the vehicle read, “Two flat tires, headed to Mormon Point, have three days’ worth of water.” The note provided vital information to help locate the couple in their remote location. The Inyo Search and Rescue technical team spotted the couple through aerial reconnaissance of the incredibly remote area, according to the release. The team attempted a hoist operation, but the extreme location meant the two team members who rappelled were unable to reach the couple. Another operation will begin Thursday evening with an Inyo Search and Rescue team descending into the canyon. NEWS FLASH! In an emergency, one can drive a car with flat tires. Better to replace two tires & two rims later & get to safety, than to abandon your vehicle in Death Valley & go hiking into no-mans-land. Their other (obvious) option was to hike 22 miles down the road they were on. At least then they could have been found more easily, or got lucky & come across another driver. It seems like they chose the highest risk, least logical option & it nearly cost them their life. Scary.

Proving once again that fear isn't rational. The council fears guns and thinks if they are banned, they are magically safe. What they fail to realize (acknowledge?) is that guns are already being carried & used by those they should fear (criminals). But honest people are currently at the mercy of those that already flaunt the law. Permitless carry (aka, Constitutional Carry) merely levels the playing field & violent crime will go DOWN as a result. Chicago politicians have followed the same thinking as the Memphis City Council for many years. Same outcome (300+ murders per year.) What is that definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over & over again, but expecting a different result. The governor is on the right path. Thankfully the Memphis council can't over-rule state law.

Suing Lucky Gunner for selling ammo used in a crime is akin to suing Shell for selling the fuel used in a car that someone used to run over & kill people. The misuse of a product is not the sellers responsibility. But applying some system to verify age - as specified by the law - should be in place. Not that it would have prevented this tragedy, as evil will find a way to express itself (sadly). I see this as the antigunners next "mode" of preventing people from exercising 2A rights - sue suppliers (since Federal law prevents them from suing gun makers out of business.) If no one will sell guns or ammo for fear of being sued, we all suffer the loss of ability to exercise our Constitutional rights. In closing, I want to extend my sincere condolences to the families that have suffered the horrible loss of a loved one @ the hands of a mentally unstable person. This is the tragedy of our times. Mental health needs that overwhelm our current system. That's where legislative attention should be aimed. Frivolous lawsuits don't help solve anything.
