Funny how the left wanted EV mandates and now they are burning EVs. Guess it never had anything to do with the environment.2 points

@Defender Thank God you are in remission and moving fwd w/your life. Cancer is scary and nothing is guaranteed. I like to hear of people who are successful in their cancer fights. It proves there is always hope. As for the fatigue, that seems to be a recurrent complaint about the cancer & treatment. Which is most responsible? I don't know but it seems to reaffirm what a tough battle one is fighting and it takes strength and determination to keep going. Keep living your life @DeepSouth - I admire your stamina and determination. I hope you find your cancer in remission soon, too.2 points

I acquired this .38 a few years ago. This example has been reblued and the metal is in great shape, despite some softening of the rollmarks. The lockup is still tight for a 100+ year revolver. I believe the 20xxx serial number puts it toward the end of production for this model, but I haven't researched it. Price is $280, located in Memphis area but willing to do reasonable travel.1 point

Interesting collection and nice writeups. I find the Mausers particularly interesting and am tempted to add one to my want list. Thanks for sharing.1 point

Like I said in my intro, one of things I collect are .32ACP pocket guns. I decided to pull out a few of my more interesting examples Top left is a Frommer Stop in 7,65. This is one of the strangest pocket guns out there. The recoil spring sits on top, which is pretty uncommon. However, the oddest thing about this pistol is that uses a rotating bolt, similar to what you'd find in an AK. There was even a machine pistol version of it. Two pistols, upside down, each with 25 round magazines, are mounted in a little tripod. I assume the Hungarians had worries that the rabbits would rise up against them Top right is a French "Unique" pistol. This one features an acceptance stamp showing that it was in use with the Moroccan police Bottom right is a German Dreyse M1907. The Dreyse was fairly innovative for its day in that it's striker fired and the firing pin protruded out of the back so you could see/feel if it was cocked Bottom left is the venerable Colt M1903 pocket hammerless. As far as vest guns go, none are more classy. I actually carry mine from time to time. Makes you feel like an old tyme detective searching gin-joints for a dangerous dame with gams that don't quit In the center is a CZ 27. This one features several Waffenampt markings indicating that it was accepted into service with the German military in WWII. The fact that it is blued rather than parkerized would indicate that this was produced just before or early into the German occupation of Prague. This one is magnificent. The bluing is still deep and rich and the trigger even retains its factory straw bluing. Whoever it was issued to clearly didn't do much with it. Honorable mention: Maxine. Like all cats she feels the need to make an appearance when the guns come out Hope you folks enjoy the post.1 point

pop pop, next time you are out running around you should go hold one in a shop to see how well you can wrap around and how it feels. Then consider how your grip will change overtime. The round drives mags to be longer front to back which means grips are extended. Its why so many have the brick feel to em. One of the driving factors for the round was to defeat body armor. FN wanted it to be adopted more widely at inception. Its designated AP rounds are restricted, but some of the non AP could do it. Not to many home invaders use body armor The late great Paul Harrell had a good vid or two on it if you are still looking to confirm / deny. He had a good analogy as I recall. Its like a pair of snap ring plies, only good at one thing, nothing else.1 point

For those that have not met me I have always been a pretty big guy. One of my favorite sayings was I was not recoil sensitive. I have been over 300 lbs for the last 15-18 years. At my heaviest I was 419 lbs but for the last 5-6 years I have been around 380-390 lbs. With the help of my wife I finally decided to have weight loss surgery. So last year I started working with Vanderbilt to get ready for the surgery. Then I find out that my insurance will not cover it. I can still do the surgery but it would be 21-23K out of pocket. That was kinda a kick to the nuts so I stopped thinking about weight loss for the rest of last year. I was talking to my doctor at my annual physical in February of this year and he suggested I try the weekly shots like Mounjaro or Ozempic. These would have 2 benefits for me. One it would help control my A1c(blood sugar) and help with weight loss. So I took my first shot on February 15th. For the first 2 months I was on Mounjaro. Then there was a national back order and could not get it. So no shot for month 3. He then switched me to Ozempic for month 4 and I have been on that since then. This has been the only medicine I have taken that has made me not want to eat. This medicine works differently for everybody. I have been pretty lucky because I have had only minimal side effects and have lost a lot of weight. In the last 10 months I have lost 150.6 lbs. I went from 380.2 lbs 2/15/24 to 229.6 lbs 12/12/24. I have been seeing my doctor every 3 months while I have been taking this medicine. One other benefit beside the weight loss is that the doc has taken me off my blood pressure medicine. He is also considering taking me off most of my other medicine because my bloodwork is coming out so good. The hard part is going to be starting soon though. Maintenance. I have finally gotten in the habit of eating less. I just have to make sure I do not revert back to my old habits once the doctor starts reducing my dosage. One of thew worst side effects of lasing weight is being constantly cold. I use to rarely wear a coat. If it was above freezing I was in short sleeves. Now I wear long sleeves in the house. I bet I have worn more sweatshirts and coats in the last 2 months than I have in the last 10 years. For visual reference I went from this: To this:1 point

Too high? Too far away? Nobody need a reliable truck? Don’t make me out this on my wife’s Facebook account and deal with the associated craziness. I hate to get rid of it, but there are now two of us here, neither commutes, and between us, we have four vehicles, and the highest wheel tax in the state. Something has to go. This is just the first on the chopping block, but I drive it anywhere without concern. We’ve pulled the boat to Norris Lake, Guntersville, and many other places without the first problem.1 point

That is something I had never considered - the implication of Bruin on SBR regulations. I’m not remotely close to a gun control expert but there probably weren’t any barrel length and stock restrictions in Ben Franklin’s day. On the flipside, there probably aren’t a lot of people who want to challenge SBR laws because of the optics. Personally, while I am no fan of the Bruin decision, I think SBR laws are dumb. This pistol is pretty heavy and hard to hold steady. Mount the stock and suddenly your grip becomes rock solid, the weapon pulls in nice and tight, and your eye aligns naturally over the sights with a firm cheekweld. The stock makes any average shooter into a capable fighter. I can envision many many situations, hunting or defense, where the addition of the stock on a compact gun makes the difference between hitting and missing your target in a stressful situation. Just my 2c. Re: the Astra, I also didn’t know these existed until I saw them on Gunbroker. There are a few more clones out there, I think Star and Royal also made some. These Astras are known for having many improvements over the Mauser, particularly the takedown is very fast and easy. The left side lifts off to reveal the interior, which came from the factory jeweled (mine has faded but the jeweling can be seen on Forgotten Weapons’ video on this model). The bore is near perfect. As soon as ammo arrive I intend to take it to the range. I also want to do some accuracy comparisons between stocked vs unstocked. I’ll try share the results.1 point

Hit another milestone today. 199.6 lbs when I weighed myself this morning. I believe this is the first time I have been under 200 lbs since high school. I am close to being literally half the man I was when I started losing weight 13 months ago.1 point

All good. As a new member you can't PM until you reach a certain post count. But I believe you can respond to PMs once someone else initiates it. I sent you one a little bit ago. If you're unable to see it, just comment here and I'll reach out a different way.1 point

I've got a Beretta "New Puma" .32 and it's a really nice gun for what it is. Shoots straight and reliably. The only .22 pocket pistol I have is this hilariously dumb thing. It's an Italian copy of a Mossberg Brownie. Runs .22 Short and Long. 22LR brass seems to be just a smidge too long and makes extraction difficult so I just shoot .22 Short in it.1 point

New here? Step up and tell us about yourself. A good format to follow would be your first name (if you care to share it), where you're from, what your interests are, what gun(s) you have, where you like to shoot, etc. It helps break the ice and you might just find new friends as a result.1 point
