    used 442, yea or nay

    You can tell my knowledge of revolvers is not that great. When I read "442" I immediately thought about a super, beautiful Olds my brother-in-law owned back in early 70's.

    Plated vs Jacketed 230gr RN

    I am relatively new to reloading and based upon my limited experience, both are easy to reload in 45acp or 9mm. I don't shoot any competitions, but I have not seen a noticeable difference in accuracy. (I am more of a factor than the bullet may be.) I have only used Xtreme plated bullets which I...

    Support your local gun shop!

    For me the decision to go with LGS is pretty simple. Only big store around is a Gander and I am not going to pay 10% more. Fortunate to have a LGS in the area that turns over a lot of volume. Purchase my 9mm Shield 4 months ago for $400. Selection also beats the Gander near me. I did purchase a...

    Shield 9 range report.

    Love my 9mm Shield. Not experienced any issues after couple hundred rounds. For small size accuracy is very good. It has been a keeper ever since I fired that first round.

    Tips on concealing the Shield

    I am definitely different than you ... 5'10" & 195# ... tend to wear loose fitting clothing, especially for concealment. I have a N82 Original {https://n82tactical.com/holster-options/original-holster/) that I love. Although I have used it with an everyday casual belt, I prefer to wear my...

    NO RC COLA NEEDED!!

    Had not eaten a Moon Pie in over 25 yrs and couple weeks ago ran across them at local convenient mart. Decided to get one and I was hooked again. Too bad I am trying to lose some weight. Maybe I can get the diet RC to go with them.

    Got cut at the range yesterday...I'll survive.

    Glad you are okay. Heck, I can't even get any one to say "thank you", let alone "excuse me". 75% of the visits to a store or restuarant end up with me saying "thank you", not the sales person.

    Frustrated with My new Shield 9

    SMR ... Hope it works out for you. I can only go by expeprience and say that I did not have that issues with my Shield 9. I love the gun. For me has been very accurate for a small gun. I do agree with "blackexpress" in that the trigger takes getting used to.

    $25,000 for cabinets..? Really?

    We have a rather small kitchen ourselves, probably no larger than yours. About 5 years ago we updated. New cabinets, tops and sinks from Lowe's. We did not get the top of the line, but definitely not the cheapest either. Cost us little over $10K. That included installation of the counter top...

    Stores open on Thanksgiving...a rant

    For the last several years I have boycotted Black Friday and all of the retailers involved. I think they have gone over the top by starting ot open on Thanksgiving Day itself. But they will continue as long as people continue to pass through their doors. And as long as the stores offer those...
