Marlin 30/30 1946 Savage 99E in 300 Savage. Between a 30/30 and a .308. Light and nicely balanced. Features a Rotary Magazine. Winchester 1894 30/30 1946

I usually carry on my person....but if I am going out and know I may go into some place were I can't carryl then I bring my "truck gun". A BERSA Thunder .380 with 10 rounds and two spare mags in a rug.

Two 380s here. Seecamp BT .380 No sense in the BERSA as a Kahr PM 9 is lighter and smaller. I would probably do the LCP based on starting out in today's market or the Kahr on the upscale side.

Since there are only so many zombie movies to watch and then no more zombie fun until the next and who knows when that will be I have resorted to zombie books. Of course you can search Amazon and many are found under sci-fi and EOTW categories. Great reads: Day by Day Armageddon and the sequel, Beyond Exile J.L. Bourne There is a third due out some day. J.L. Bourne is a busy man. Here is his website. Welcome to J.L. Bourne.com! J.L. Bourne is an active duty military officer and currently resides in the Washington D.C. area. He has completed numerous tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, logging more than sixty combat missions over Iraq, earning three Air Medal Strike/Flight awards. Despite the ongoing war efforts, he somehow finds the time to put pen to paper in order to bring to you the fall of humanity in the Day by Day Armageddon universe. I just finished: Tooth and Nail Craig Dilouie Zombie apocalypse from a military action viewpoint, trapped in Manhattan. Just Started: Infected Scott Sigler Next in the cue: another Scott Sigler Apparently one of the masters: Tim Curran Biohazard and Resurrection Some of the stuff goes over the top (is that possible); so if you like your Zombie Action rank and in pulp fiction style look around Amazon and read some of the gore fest reviews if you just need the stench and disembowelment up close and personal.

I have been satisfied with my personal research and range experience/operational positives utilizing Speer Gold Dot. I have the "short barrel" version for J Frames in .38 spl plus P 135 gr. I have some SB .357 Magnum for a J Frame and a 3 inch 686. My Kahr PM9 is loaded with Speer also. I was surprised at the relative poor performance of the Remington GS 102 grain. I have my truck gun a BERSA Thunder stoked with 11 rounds in an extended magazine, I may have to switch over to the Speer in that also.

No Crazies fans? The car wash scene actually made me jump...and that NEVER happens to me in a movie. Romero wasn't promoted and I didn't know this was one of his until the credits. I think this was the best Zombie/Virus/Military Experiment gone bad movie of the last decade.

Read the Mad Dog/Zombie book Tooth and Nail. Nothing in this thread is sufficient for MadDogs.

My lineup in pocket carry is this: 1) S&W M&P 340 Revolver .38 spl plus P in a Mika Roundcut pocket holster 2) Seecamp .380 in a DeSantis Nemesis Pocket holster. Expensive but a great investment. I would replace this with an Ruger LCP for a good quality decent price alternative. 3) Kahr PM9 in a DeSantis Nemesis Holster 4) S&W 642 Revolver, Mika Roundcut Pocket Holster. Revolvers both have Crimson Trace laser grips, model 405. One of these three formats covers about any pocket carry contingency I encounter from deep pocket cargo pants and shorts to black tie extra covert with the Seecamp.

That's a sweet looking build!! BCM is a good value. I had come to a build conclusion recently with their stock unit. But after running into this. I am going to configure it this way.

One way to tame a J Frame is with a Hogue Mongrip. Doesn't lend itself to pocket carry unless you have deep pockets but it does take some of the smack out of shooting even .357. I run Plus P in my 340 and Buffalo Bore standard pressure in my 642. It runs at the high end of the pressure spectrum but not as high as a Plus P. Both my J Frames have Crimson Trace 405 grips. They have a softer rubber and an shock absorbing pocket on the backstrap area.

If you want a real butt kicker get the 4Sevens Maelstrom G5. 350 lumens. I have one of those too. Good for belt mount or weapon mount (rifle). http://www.4sevens.com/index.php?cPath=297_406

Thanks for the heads up. I will have to check them out. I have been buying 4Sevens lights. www.4sevens.com. They have a nice new 2XAA model that just came out. 180 lumens. comes with a nice lanyard and pocket clip (removable). Three levels, strobe, SOS settings and a 10 year warranty. They have some really nice small EDC lights. This one is just a tad heavy. My favorite is the Preon II 2XAAA, 160 lumens. Quark MiNi AA² 4Sevens.Com Free shipping and about $43.

I have had a PM9 for three years. Mine had to go back to the factory once. It just wouldn't break in, Kahr replaced some parts, polished the ramp and it has been fine since and I have three manufacturer's rounds that I have put over 100 rounds each through to keep it qualified. I think it's worth any pain you may possibly encounter to get one right since there is nothing in the form factor that matches in size, weight, trigger, and ergonomics in that price range (6-700). That said I don't carry mine much. I find a 13 ounce J Frame with CT grips more to my pocket carry liking.

I used Bill one time, everything went as planned. Purchased a Walther P99AS from Bud's sent it to Bills, done deal. Bought some ammo there that was somewhat scarce at the time. I can see why CCA charges so much everyone is always so busy there and their staff knowledge is a cut above. But really, they do have some overhead to cover that many don't have. There is Loudon County Sportsman in Lenoir City, Denny and Troy Phillips. 986.4773. 107 East Broadway. I don't recall what they said they would do a transfer for.

Wardamneagle- Good choice on the P99 (I think). I recently purchased a P99 AS in .40. Have been so busy I haven't even been able to get to the range. Which did you select??

Plus One, M&P 340 with XS Dot Night sight. .357 capable. 13.3 ounces. Put a set of Crison Trace 405 grips on it and you have the ultimate pocket J Frame Centennial. I like the Mika Roundcut holster and Speer Gold Dot For Short Barrel rounds. Oh and don't forget a Bianchi Speedstrip for reload. Or, if you have deep pockets and like a more substantial grip a Hogue Monogrip may be more your cup of tea. The XS Dot Tritium Night Sight and weight are the key advantage to this package.

Which mag does it use?

I carry my PM9 in a DeSantis Nemesis. The PM9 version of that holster will actually work perfectly well with any S&W J Frame too. You might try a Mika also. I don't have one specifically for the PM 9 but Robert Mika makes a great J Frame Holster and the price is right.

I don't flaunt it. But. I have used it as a second Official photo ID. Forgot my Passport one time while going on an AFB and used my HCP as a second form of ID. It worked. The duty officer asked how I liked TN.

If you mean M&P 340 revolver, you may wish to review this thread. Next best thing to being there. M&p 340 - THR

Supply is loosening up. I wouldn't hesitate now, but I would buy ammo every chance and get a supply set-up. .380 wouldn't need the 1000 unit supply 250 would be enough in PD. Cabelas finally getting the Winchester ST in this month....Seecamp is hungry.

The signed versions are pricey. Unsigned not that bad. gerber fairbairn applegate - Google Search= Even the signed can be had for $100.

Iv'e always been partial to the Kahr .40s for some reason. This one belongs to a fellow Firing Line Forum Member, Mr. PP. That is one illustrious Kahr.

Will be certain to follow your progress. Hope it works. I was at SW Chattanooga the other day looking at one. The GS pusher was pushing it.
