    Preparedness

    Old Remington Speedmaster .22 LR, a 308 bolt gun and an old single shot Monty Ward 16ga are empty. Otherwise loaded. :). There are 3 of us left at home and many rooms!

    Check Your Gear

    I change the lithium primaries that are in various devices and backup emergency flashlights and communications gear on my birthday. Cr123, cr2(smoke detectors) and Aa/aaa lithiums. Other stuff uses Eneloops or lithium-ion that gets regularly tested and topped off ( my dog walking and chicken...

    M&P 9c - Just Got It

    Luv my 9c I settled on it now (I hope ;) )after many years and a trail of buy/sell handguns.... You will probably be pretty happy with it! With 12 rds in it (in FL) and with 17 rd mags as spares, I don't even carry my beloved Sig P226 anymore....

    MTAC adjustments.

    Me too! Just got my MP9c on Monday and my MTAC today. Love it but wouldn't mind hearing what you other "fellers" say! My first polymer EDC and my first MTAC. I am digging the light weight!

    .45 ACP +P reloads

    I know ur both right And I should have not even asked the question. I realized I overlooked an important detail- my load for the 325 was used with FLAT POINT not SWC!!!! That "slight" (read HUGE) difference in bullet profile "may"(read WILL) make a difference in feeding. DUR! I know to...

    .45 ACP +P reloads

    supplemental question.... What OAL for the 250/ 255 gr loads out of the Sprgfld 1911's? The OAL recommended in 3 of the manuals I have will not feed reliably enough for me to use the 1911 as my "woods" gun but I would love the option (the 325 is punishing to shoot with those loads and the...

    Cycle the action or pull the trigger again?

    Some "civie" training includes it- but probably because military folks run them. I am lucky, I guess, that I was initially taught to cycle the action of any arm that malfunctions in that way so I don't have to re-learn. I physically put my off-hand on the magazine and pull it out even if not...

    I lost my baby...

    Wow- sorry and congrats I am proud for you! My oldest is still a baby - 10 but his underarms stink and he's getting hairy. Where did my little "booger" go?

    Advice for carrying a 45 revolver

    Thanks 'nilla- FSU grad here- go to Tally at least weekly. Been rainy here about 30 miles east! Jimmyj- thank you very much for that- I'll have to check them out. I think my 226 is going to be the "van" gun with all it's extra mags. The 220 was sold for a NG325 + cash and I think the + cash...

    38 special 158gr ammo?

    All good choices. If you don;t want +P, don't get it. Otherwise, don't over think it. Just saw some 125gr Federal Nyclads in stock for $39.95/ 50. Not bad for new stuff but feels wrong since I just bought Fed Classic 158gr +P LSWCHP for $28/ 50 rds in March. As has been said, get what you...
