What size frame? -
Its only going to get worse as more and more people rely on their car to drive itself.

I have a buddy in CT that bought a similar electric dirt bike, its a Surron. He has had it over a year now and absolutely loves it. And the fact that he also rides a Beta X-Trainer tells me the electric bike must really get the job done.

I'll play-lol. While I dont use that Enigma, I have been using Crossbreed Mini-tuck holsters for over 10 years since I made the decision to carry all the time. When I carry my Kahr P380 I have it adjusted to where the grip is barely higher than my belt. Even in shorts and a T-shirt no one can tell I'm carrying. It also has a feature where you can still tuck in a shirt, I have even worn the gun at weddings. In cooler weather I can carry something bigger, usually a Kahr PM9 or Sig P365. But I'd rather have the 380 than nothing at all.

When I bought my Champion safe, I had stopped at Rural King to check out their safes first. My Champion is a 48 gun I think. Rural King had a 60 gun that was quite a bit bigger for the same price. I mentioned it to the Champion guy, and he showed me an ad for the Rural King safe. That 60 gun safe weighed less than the Champion 48. He said they use cheap Chinese steel.

Several on Armslist in Knoxville

You can still find them on ebay

I carry an SOG Bladelight Mini. Its 3 oz and I forget its there. The best part is that it has a 4-LED flashlight built in. I use the light as much as I use the blade.

I got a great deal on a Champion safe at a place in E. Knoxville a few years ago. Champion Safe Outlet, or something like that. They were basically half price.

That is indeed a 715-V4. V for vent rib. 4 for 4" barrel. They also made a 715 without the rib, and a 715-VH which had the rib and a heavy barrel. So, that fatter part where it says 'Dan Wesson' extends to the end of the barrel. I had a 715 VH6 for many years, should have kept it.

As much as I love my nickel Browning Hi-Power and my CZ75, my Canik SFX is the most accurate gun I have. Never expected that.

I hear ya. Those dang hair dryers and make up bags take up too much room.
-
And unless I missed something about a passenger, I always use a big backpack tied right behind me on the passenger seat to hold more stuff. Most of my long trips I have taken alone, so I had plenty of room for anything I wanted to bring.
-
Well, I have taken trips on my Ultra with a large tank bag on top of the tourpack, it looked similar. Didnt notice much of a difference. Make sure you load up that front bag with lots of weight to counteract the rear-LOL.
-
Doesnt the threaded barrel stick out past the frame?
-
I owned a Glock for 1 day. Got a 26 in a trade, shot it in the backyard and hated it. It shot OK but I cant get by the looks-lol. Traded it the next day for a TP9SFX. One of the most accurate guns I have ever shot.
-
Damn, I'd have bought this already if I lived a little closer
-
Nice to see that someone else likes smooth wood grips on their guns. I do that to all my shooters.

Just picked up a P365 myself, but still need to put at least 3-400 hundred rounds thru it before I carry it. So still carrying my Kahr PM9. About the same size but a single stack. I swear by Crossbreed Minituck horsehide IWB holsters. Usually at about 4-5 o'clock. I used to drive from CT to FLA wearing it, I almost forget its there its so comfortable. The horsehide is noticeably thinner than cowhide, and more sweat resistant. Tried an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck, and liked it except for putting it on. With the Crossbreed I just have to loosen my belt. With the Alien Gear, because its cloth-backed, you just about have to drop your drawers to get it on-lol. I also use a Kore belt with the ratchet buckle, cant say enough good things about it. Its micro-adjustable.

OK I'll play. I'm a firm believer in always having a gun on me, so that usually means something small and light and unobtrusive. A small 9 , snubby 38 or a 380. Any of those on me is better that a 45 left at home. Over the years, Smith 37 nickel- Colt Mustang Pocketlite 380- Keltec 380- Kahr P380- Kahr PM9. I just bought a P365 but havent shot it enough yet to carry it.

I have a Suzuki DRZ 400 as my dual sport. Its a 2013 and I found it locally 2 years ago for only $3500 with 1600 miles. I wouldnt want anything smaller if you are going to do any road riding. Even mine is screaming over 60 or so, though I did go 1 tooth smaller in the front and I'm running full DOT knobbies. It gets over 50mpg on the road, and probably around 40 in the trails. But, its fantastic in the woods. I dont ride fast on trails, mostly just exploring. I havent found anywhere it cant go yet. Thats taking into account my intermediate skills also-lol. And since I often ride alone, I try not to get into a situation I cant get out of myself. I believe the KLX and DRZ is the same bike in similar sizes. I know the old KLX400 was the same as mine. Not sure about the smaller models. Hondas are great also, but getting pricey. Recently rode with a guy on a Honda CRF450 steet legal model. Nice bike, 6 speed with FI, but not 3 times as nice as mine-lol.

So is this all of us in East TN?
