    How much does yours weigh? I just weighed mine!

    Currently, my very comfortable, pocket defense carry is a BG2, 9 rounds in the 10-round mag in a Muddy River Tactical kydex at 1 lbs. 0.8 ozs.

    "I'm going to compare the precision one vs. underwood XTP +P for accuracy soon" What are your thoughts on the using/comparing +P in the BG2?

    Knifeless Ex-Seal?

    This is a very timely post and made me re-check what I'm carrying in vehicles. Can you be TOO safe? In my 20+ years of off-roading and 4-wheeling in the outback and rock crawling trails of Arizona, California, New Mexico, Utah, and Sonora Mexico, my 4x4 pickup truck always carried a long list...

    Hoppe's No. 9 is not a CLP

    Yes.... I agree. The grease I've experimented with is synthetic Slick 50 wheel bearing grease with DuPont Teflon. If it's good enough for wheel bearings, it should be plenty good enough for my slide rails on my pistols. I clean, inspect, and lube my firearms after every use, so I don't expect...

    Hoppe's No. 9 is not a CLP

    I spoke to two guys at my local gun shop (old timers with lots of experience, one is an firearms instructor), they did not recommend using "grease" on firearms here in Arizona because "it dries out due to our heat".

    Hello Mr. Walsh... I'm just curious... did you compare or look at any other pistol before making your purchase? What is the primary reason for you choosing the Ruger LCP Max 380?

    BG2.0 recoil spring?

    The end of the spring at the guide rod cap is twisted. That makes uneven contact with the seating collar inside of the front of the slide. Attempting to install the guide rod assembly will cause the spring to bind and the rear guide rod cap cannot be seated into the slot on the rear of barrel...

    Prescription Nonsense

    Hummm… There are a number of possibilities. The pharmacy could be cook'n the books on the insurance company? The pharmacy person could have made a mistake. Incompetence in a pharmacy is scary? As curious as I am, I would not have asked for an explanation of the change, just to avoid any...

    Health and Fitness Thread

    Pharma, Very interesting and disturbing to read. I have enough "true stories" to write a short documentary. Two years ago, I went in for my yearly physical. I have not actually seen my doctor for 3 years. I was examined by a Nurse Practitioner. They have 12-year history of my health status...

    Golddollar, "I was able to train myself to shoot handguns cross-dominantly" Wow… another testimony to what the miraculous human body can do if you give it a chance. You certainly are an inspiration to me.(y) For many of us older guys and gals, resurrecting and transforming ourselves is...

    Health and Fitness Thread

    Snubbyfan, you are another remarkable testimony to what the human body can do when you give it what it needs. My first wakeup call was at age 25 when Mother died age 61 from medical malpractice. I have spent the last 52 years trying to educate myself on every aspect of health science –...
