I haven’t shared anything in a while and I figure some of you might enjoy these photos of a couple somewhat recent additions, a pair of Swedish M38s. Both are all matching and function extremely well, which I suppose fits with their reputation. I recommend a Swedish Mauser to any surplus shooter/collector. First the older...

Guess what! The Women on Target Clinic is SOLD OUT! Woo hoo! Very excited to work with another group of awesome ladies this weekend. Wish us luck, everyone! Stay safe and have fun! - Tiff

...then the younger...it’s a 1942 Husqvarna. Can’t seem to load more photos for some reason!

The plumber I use does great workl, but that is a lotta road time to pay for if he drove down.

You may want to find a quality tile man. Totally curbless for potential future mobility problems may be key, if you're staying in this home. The owner of the company I ran just retired, so my connections in the field are limited...

For those that care... The silver ones are PLA, the red is ASA. ASA is harder to print but more durable. It was a fun project. I hope they hold up enough for a couple of laughs. Enjoy!

Nashville dude here. Been in TN for about 3 years, escaped from California. Shoot my ARs and new G17 I just got. Nice to meet everyone!

I received these Monday from Sidecarist (thank you sir!) Its been a crazy week, sorry for just now getting to this So why not?? Good for a laugh anyways thanks Bob!!

We should have a contest to see who can whittle their cards down to the lowest unusable balance possible. i have one with a 6 cent balance and another with 7 cents.

I was going through some old pics on my PC. I was actually looking for the Rabbit hunting I used to do but I must have got rid of all the photos. Anyhoo, I thought some of you may be interested in a small trip down memory lane! Ferrets were used for Rabbiting! The Landrover was my shooting wagon, there was literally nowhere where that could go, and my personal best Carp, 34lb Mirror Carp!

Yeah I looked into it. Very expensive. That one you see here cost me 2500 pounds. So back then probably $3800 bucks

I wish those LR weren't so expensive here.

A .380 in the hand, beats a 50 Cal in the truck. With modern ammo, familiarity and training, a .380 can be a formidable SD weapon. Would I choose it, probably not, but only because my 40 has been my SD weapon for over 30 years. But if clothing or carry location forces you into a small frame gun, .380 isn't as bad as all that.

That “other crap” is capitalism. There are no new government regulations that I’ve heard of lately. Matter of fact, we are “supposed” to be self-sufficient now.

Unfortunately I feel sure this moron will certainly prompt one of our esteemed elected representatives to initiate that very thing.

Well look at the bright side. You now have something to do on all these rainy days we're having.

I traded a S&W M&P Compact .45ACP for my XDs. It came with 3 five round mags and 2 seven round mags, the holster and mag holder, a hard case and a soft case. You can still get the packages from SA, but these new Model 1s jsut come with one mag, in a cardboard box, so they can lower the price on the pistol. Ruger does the samething with their pistols. Personally, I hate a pistol not coming with at least a second mag.

Tiffany, glad to see you and Aqil had a great turn out! I hope we get to meet soon. AJ

Love seeing the ladies involved here! Cheers!

True...but since when do actual real world events matter in the world of politics. In that world, 2 things matter. Do something...anything...to appear being on top of the situation, and to retain power. Both usually at the expense of the general public.

I'll come at this from a slightly different angle... As Prag mentioned he does not drink or "fiddle with his damn gun either". THAT is most likely the real reason-sober or not- that the gun went off. Modern pistols with drop safeties only go off ONE way and that is for the trigger to be pressed. I would be interested to see exactly WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED to cause this. Needless (and careless) handling of the gun caused by poor carry methods tend to lead tho this sort of thing more times than not. The odds are OVERWHELMING that he did not pull the gun out and intentionally discharge it, It was most likely an accident caused by unsafe carry methods. My guess (and I could be wrong) is that he probably was either carrying without a holster (anyone remember Plaxico Burress shooting himself when his pistol fell down the inside of his pants leg after being "Mexican carried" in his waistband?) or was carrying with a crappy holster and the gun came dislodged somehow. He probably was trying to readjust it and got trigger either wrapped up with finger or clothing and gun then predictably fires. THAT is how they are designed to work. Pull the trigger..... get loud noise. Now before anyone says "yeah but.... he shouldn't have been drinking" that does NOT change the veracity of my point in the least. If he were .10 BAC but not TOUCHING THE GUN it would not go off. Guns do not go off on their own in the presence of alcohol....someone has to be handling the gun and there is no reason to do that in a restaurant ...unless it is no longer secure.... Right now as I sit here sober as a teetotaler typing this the ONLY way my gun in its holster can possibly go off is for me to pull it out of the holster far enough to manipulate the trigger. Alcohol is largely irrelevant if the gun is not handled.....the CARELESS HANDLING caused the discharge...not the presence of alcohol. It may have contributed to the careless handling but alcohol was not the CAUSE of the discharge. So what do we learn from this? Carry it in a REAL professionally designed big boy holster not some cheap garbage that does not prevent the trigger from being manipulated or just stuffed in a pocket or a waistband. Stone cold sober or not there is no reason to carelessly handle the gun in a restaurant . If you are having to handle it because you refuse to buy a real holster and it has come loose from where you are carrying it then stuff like this happens.

When I took the class I had shot many rounds before deciding to take the class and brought a .22 LR. We had a young lady to show up with a borrowed 44 magnum and she had never fired a gun before. With the first cylinder emptied she never even hit the board that housed the target. Before the day was over (after a bit of personal instruction from the teacher) she was proficient enough to pass but the beginning was a bit scary for the rest of us.
