Oh, soooo close. I'd never hear of Barsony, but that's looking close to a winner. *Thank* you bassgunner -jb Spyros: People who talk little listen a lot. Which is why they're wise; it's harder to learn while talking

Shows as a ~ 5" knife. The 4-ish inch mag doesn't disappear in it? And *unobtrusive* is my goal. Thanks for the idea Coastie, I'll check it out. And, I looked at your profile. If I understand it correctly ... thank you for your service. -jb Spyros: People who talk little listen a lot. Which is...

Thanks Tradewind, I'll look there. -jb

... posted here and elsewhere While I'm still EDC'ing a S&W 1911PD, I've pulled the trigger (not literally, YET), on a S&W M&P Shield 9mm. I expect to move it into EDC rotation in 2-300 rounds. I've always preferred a non-tacticool magazine pouch, preferably leather, mandatory covered and the...

Members, I just posted a question on the M&P 15. My apologies for not putting up an intro. Truth is I've been a S&W owner and a lurker for a loooong time, and just took it for granted. I'm in beautiful (and cold) south central Colorado mountains. Late 50's, multiple S&W owner (PD1911 edc, 442...

A couple of questions, please from the Long Time Lurker/New Poster about mounting sights. My setup: S&W M&P 15 Sport, pure stock. I just mounted a scope, Bushnell 1-4x with circle plex reticle, e.g. [ Bushnell Banner Rifle Scope 1-4x 32mm Circle-X Reticle Matte ] I mounted it in UTG quick...

Thanks again MPDC. Ya know, right after I hit the <submit> key I started thinking (always a dangerous endeavor): "Just how much of a difference would it make at "reasonable" range, i.e. 100 - 150 yards. Maybe if I were to be launcing at targets 200+ yards away there'd be a noticable difference...

Thanks guys, that makes perfect sense. Follow-up: MPDC mentioned "but the 1/8 is better IF you are shooting the heaviest bullets available. The 1/9 is fine up to about 70grn bullets and should be slightly better for very light loads. Both handle the popular 55 grn. rounds well." This is...

Hi All, long time lurker, seldom poster here. But I do appreciate the pool of knowledge. Lately I've been considering an AR style rifle, and I think I pretty well understand the M&P 15 family. My question is about the rifling twist. Although I thought the descriptions talk about a 1 in 8" 5R...

Hi Pat, Just to pick nits, I don't think there is a prohibition (that I've been able to find in a *lot* of researching C.R.S.) against drinking alcohol while armed in Colorado. The statutes say it is prohibited to be "impaired" while carrying. That opens the whole can of worms of what is...

Another vote for Remington 158gr +p LSWCHP in my 442 -jb

Hi all, just registered after lurking for a long while. I live in South Central Colorado, where I'm a Welfare Fraud Investigator (not LE). I've been shooting for 40+ years, was an NRA certified Rifle-Pistol-Shotgun instructor many moons ago, and shot competitively in IPSC during the 80's in AZ...
