    N82 Tactical Holster

    I have actually contacted Nate and asked about the possibility of them making a double clip model. He basically told me that a lot of work and time went into making their single clip models. It's been a while, and I can't remember exactly what the reason behind it was, but his answer was no. Maybe if he had enough people contacting him that were interested in it, he would change his mind.

    I've been carrying my PF9 in the original model for over a year now and I love it. My only complaint is that when it's been against my bare skin for several hours after sweating a lot, it makes me itchy. However, no matter how wet the backing gets, my gun is always 100% dry. I also wish that Nate would make a double clip model. The single clip design is pretty stable, but after a lot of physical activity mine will sometimes shift a little bit on me.

    Works great so far. Cheap and works as advertised.

    I use a Lyman 1200 tumbler for my brass and I like it a lot. I mainly wanted an ultrasonic cleaner for guns and gun parts like AR bolts. I got the one from Harbour Freight, but I haven't used it yet. I got lucky.....It was the last one on the shelf when I went last Friday.

    I haven't used mine yet, but I bought the large one at Harbor Freight.  It is the same maker of the Lyman one which has decent reviews and it has excellent reviews at Harbor Freight.  I got it on sale, with an additional 20% off using the coupon in the American Rifleman magazine.  I think I ended up paying just over $60 for it.  I looked at all of them before purchasing that one.  Cost wasn't an issue, I just felt it was the overall best value for what I needed.   I am typically skeptical of most of the harbor freight stuff, but this was one that appears to be worth it.

    I'm going to Harbor Freight tomorrow to buy this. Everyone still have good things to say about it?  I'm curious what the dimensions of the inner basket are?

     

    I was also wondering......Is it ok to put polymer gun parts in it.....like the lower receivers of my Glocks? If so, what's a good and safe cleaning solution for polymer?

    Getting some chickens

    I have the coolest little Bantam rooster ever. I'm not sure what variety he is, but his feet are covered with feathers and he raises his feet really high, almost like a walking horse, and he stomps around.....then he does this little dance thing when he's showing off for the hens. The feathers on his feet make his feet look HUGE and it's just hilarious to watch him. Then I have Silkies and they are absolutely beautiful with their feathers that look and feel like fur, and they're super tame and let you pick them up and pet them.

     

    I just love my chickens! :)  Anyone that doesn't have any (and can where they live) really needs to get some! Not only do they produce food daily, but they are a real joy to have around.

    Well, I can vouch for the vicious part. That hen I had would raise her head up as high as she could, then come down with authority and peck the crap out of my little ones heads while they were bent over eating. They didn't have time to starve to death. I'm pretty certain she was the cause of their demise. Funny thing is, I've had chickens several times over the last 20 years and I've never seen that kind of behavior before.

    Along with my Rhode Island Reds, Americaunas, and a pair of Bantams, I have a few young Silkies, about 5 months old. I picked up a 9 month old Delaware and a Wyandotte at the flea market about a month ago and shortly after, two of my Silkies got very lethargic and died within 12 hours of me noticing them. No visible injuries whatsoever. I noticed the new Delaware hen pecking the tops of the little Silkies heads when they would try to eat at the feeding pan with her. I removed the Delaware from the lot and haven't had any more chickens die since. So, I'm wondering, is that common for a hen to kill other hens??

    Well I got another email saying it was backordered to 6-30. The thing I'm a little irritated about is that they charged my debit card immediately. I'm going to have to call them and see what they're planning on doing about that. I think they should credit it back to my account and then wait to charge me until it ships.....we'll see what they say I guess.

    Anyone ever do business with "Fully Loaded Firearms" in McMinville?

    Just wondering if anyone has ever done business with, or heard anything about, "Fully Loaded Firearms" in McMinville? I found a gun I've been looking for on GOC and they happen to have one.  I gave them a deposit today to hold it for me for a couple weeks until I can get down there to pick it up. Price was decent and the guy was very friendly on the phone.

     

    Anyone know anything about them?

    Wow, I'm impressed.

    I got two bricks yesterday and should get three today and 500 reloaded 40 cal......midway came though...shipping sucks

    Yeah, I got three bricks yesterday and five more are due in today. Perfect timing too because my son has just (finally!!!) found out how much fun shooting a .22 can be! Time to put my new AR 22 build to the test! :)

    Oh, and YES, shipping sucks!!!
