Harry's Sack Shack has a nice ring to it.

I was always nervous going that low, but I did try some 2.8 gr 38 spl loads too. I always felt like I needed to tip the barrel up and shake the powder down to where the primer was before shooting them, LOL. There wasn't enough recoil to hardly notice.

That is exactly what drew me to Bullseye. In theory I could reload around 1700 rounds of plinking 9mm with a pound!

Wait, wha? Is that really a viable option?

That's my go-to powder. We used to have a TGO'er that sold reloading supplies at local gun shows, but I can't for the life of me recall his name. Anyway, I bought a LOT of powder from him years and years ago in bulk and still haven't run out. Consulting my reloading spreadsheet it was so long ago that it came out to exactly $15/lb if that tells ya anything about how long it's been since I needed to buy powder.

There's worse award shows, but I don't like any of them either.

You could always just buy one instead, but then what would you do with all that free time?

Sorry to hear this happened. I hope you recover it or get a big fat insurance settlement. In the meantime, I hope whoever took it gets what they have coming to them.

I have that same Baldr S on my bedroom pistol. I bought it in March of '23 and it hasn't needed charging yet either. I like it better than the TLR6 on my EDC pistol. I have the Odin on my CZ Scorpion. It's pretty darn good too, but it's way bigger than it needs to be.

I thought about one of these too. I love the magnetic charging cover idea and the size of the window. You can't beat that price too. I also have a ton of their lights. Eventually I'll break one and try out that warranty that @Defender mentioned, but for now I've beat the tarnation out of several of mine and they just keep on working.

Those phones were built like a tank. The slightest tap would destroy my current phone.

The only thing missing is the TDK logo on the label and 3 or 4 crossed out names on the label from when you recorded over last year's favorite tunes.

I'm really looking forward to it, thanks for the endorsement. I got that feeling just from meeting him at a Men's Conference for our church.

That leather sheath on #1 is absolutely stunning!!

I guess hoping for a repeal of the NFA is too much to hope for, so this is a good start.

I bought a Crossbread holster nearly 20 years ago just to copy it and make my own at home. You can't tear those things up if you try and I've tried all kinds of thicknesses of kydex and leather over the years. Even the thinnest seems to hold up really good. I feel like I'm sacrificing a little of that ruggedness for comfort with the T-Rex holster. If it last 3 or 4 years, I'll call it a win. If it wears out in 12-15 months, I won't be likely to replace it with another at that price. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see how something this comfy can last as long as leather.

I recently acquired one with a gun I bought here on TGO. I am very impressed with how it's made, but I haven't taken the pistol to the range yet. It seems like it'll be very comfy.

I've heard of Michael Mann. He came out to a friend of mine's church to do some training. He had good things to say. My church doesn't have an official security team. There's a handful of us who know who carries and has a mindset toward security though. After talking it over amongst ourselves, I recently scheduled some training for the group through Sentinel Training Services. I anticipated us splitting the cost, but we wanted to do the training at church, so we had to get permission. I asked and my pastor was so overwhelming in favor of it and even insisted the church pay for it. Without an official team, there's not really any guidance or oversight in this area. I see both positives and negatives in that regard. Without an official team, I was told the church doesn't have to pay for extra insurance. We'd be personally on the hook for our actions instead of the church. However, by paying for the class, it probably makes it official likely puts the church on the hook if something bad were to happen. That may be a good thing and an official security team may come out of it. This instructor is Doug Long, a former TBI guy and what I like the most is that one if his roles in his 30 years was CID. He has worked countless cases involving officer shootings. The class uses a training pistol to score hits during video scenarios on a screen. More important to me and the guys is that the instructor spends time after the drills coaching, advising, and critiquing from a safety and legal perspective. He has special training in CRASE (Citizens Response to Active Shooter Events), which sounds like exactly what we need. I'll make a separate post after the class and link it here for anyone interested. On another note, I was really worried how my church opening a day care would affect carrying a firearm on the premises. I never got a definitive answer that made me feel like the matter was settled. I plan to ask the instructor what he thinks.

I'm glad to hear it's just that model instead of some stupid ban on AR-style rifles.

I'm guessing you mean the TWRA range (Stones River Hunter Education Center) on Hobson Pk, right? If so, they do a great job of keeping the range safe, which makes show and tell and wandering harder. They are pretty strict and rightfully so. I've seen more than a few NDs and people kicked out. Also, I've never been asked to leave before I ran out of ammo, but technically you only get 2 hours for $8 or unlimited for annual license holders.

If my grandson (9yrs old) wanted to get into any kind of rimfire competition and he tightened up his groups with his Rossi Bravo and my 15-22 to the point a better rifle was needed, I'd go straight for a CZ 457. I've been wanting one for years, but I can't outshoot my existing rifles, so I haven't bothered.
