Great comparison, thanks for sharing your findings.

My local recycler won’t take ammunition brass either. I usually save up a bucket or two and give them to a guy I know that melts them into ingots. I then recycle it and split the cash with him.

I personally feel like a TQ goes with gun activities (recreational or otherwise) like peanut butter goes with jelly. You can get by without a lot of nice to have medical equipment and maybe still survive, but in an instance where a TQ is truly necessary you aren’t lasting until help gets there without one….much like a firearm. A TQ is the only non fighting thing I keep on my gun belt, and if I had to bump a knife or dagger to fit a TQ I would. I’m partial to the SOF-T followed by the CAT. I’m somewhat skeptical of the SAM XT as you have to be mindful of a straight pull to engage both of the locking teeth. Without engaging both I’ve seen them come loose during movement/jostling. That being said, with any TQ you should recheck it after moving to ensure it’s still working properly.

Yes I’ve got a Citadel LevTac in .38/.357 that is basically a tactical looking Rossi 92. I got it through Rainer Arms and I think it was under $900 including all the tax, shipping, and transfer fees. I’ve got a Holosun 407c on it, and added the Ranger Point Precision buttstock and a Chisel Machine quiver. It’s a fun shooter, smooth enough action, but I am going to have to do some work on the loading gate as it’s a fight to load it.

I’ve been looking at the Rossi 95 Triple Black models. I have a few other Rossi guns (lever and revolver) that seem decently built. I heard there may be one or two other new lever guns coming out at SHOT 24 in addition to already mentioned S&W.

On Combat and On Killing both by Dave Grossman are both good reads if you are wanting to get a bit further into the psychology on it.

We haven’t had a regular TV service provider in probably 12 years. I only watch shows once they are complete and I can binge watch them all at once, for which I use Netflix and Prime. The wife only watches HGTV and college football, which she streams through something, not sure which one. I do watch a lot of free YouTube and my son and I both game a good bit. We’ve had AT&T fiber for a few years and it’s kept up with our needs. I have about 32TB of movies that I downloaded via bit-torrent while working overseas. I could probably watch then delete a movie every day for the rest of my life and still have some leftover.

Yessir, I’ve got a big spool gun for my Trailblazer and a smaller one for my Multimatic 215. I don’t get a lot of requests for aluminum repairs or projects, so I haven’t bit off on an AC TIG machine….yet.

@ironsniper1 feel free t shoot me a PM. I’m in your area and I have a mobile welding business. Unfortunately TIG is what I do the least of…mainly stick on heavy equipment repairs and mig on most fabrication projects. Some SS TIG, but only a couple times a year. I would brace yourself for spending a minimum of a couple grand on a decent TIG machine. Miller has a couple small units that mig, stick, and TIG but you’ll be a few grand in once you set it up to all three processes. But feel free to reach out and I’ll give you whatever help/advice that I can.

The first “slimline” Glock. I had one for many years. Great carry gun.

I always figured that these were for children or elderly that were unable to man a defensive position to be in a safer/central part of the house reloading for those of us holding off the horde.

The trigger on these is remarkably good. I love mine.

I’ve had good experiences so far with RMRs, RSOs, 407 series and the 507 series and just recently add a SwampFox Sentinel to the inventory. Usually I have some “flare” type issues with alot of the smaller MOA dots, regardless of manufacturer, but this green dot on the Sentinel is very crisp. I’ve personally not come across a Sig Romeo for a pistol that I’ve liked the dot at all, but some of my buddies like them. If I could choose only one dot that I had to run across all my handguns it would be the Holosun 407C.

If there truly were that many idiots running around causing problems for everyone simply because they lacked mandatory firearms training than we would certainly be hearing about it and the TN legislators would certainly be trying to saddle us with it. I’m 100% in agreement that responsible gun owners should get training, just like I think everyone should stay out of debt, workout most days, and quit drinking, but I certainly don’t think any of that should be mandated. It’s a very slippery slope whenever we encourage the Govt to mandate something in the public “best interest” as they get a taste for it and don’t know where to stop.

I’ll have to look into this. I’ve never found another product that works as well as their (CERAKOTE) rubber/plastic restore wipes. We run our vehicles through a car wash at least 1-2 times per week, and even with that abuse their plastic/rubber product is lasting a good 6-8 months between applications.

I’m personally on a quest to have one cambered in most of the common’ish cartridges. So far I have .22lr, .45LC, 45-70, .38spc/.357. I’m hoping Ruger Marlin releases a dark series 30-30, and I recently heard of a company making one chambered in .500 S&W. For me lever guns, particularly ones without the traditional wood look, have multiplied more than anything else in my collection.

Welcome to the group!

Respectfully, she was 28. While she certainly was somebody’s child, I think that some of you that keep referring to her as a child are (probably unintentionally) mitigating the severity of what she as an adult did to those actual children and teachers. I remember a time when a teenager would be tried as an adult if the crime was even less heinous than this, and now we are living in a time that the CDC considers 18-19 year old thugs that are killing each other “children” to pad their gun control agenda numbers. I don’t think you intended to insinuate that, but within our community which is very much under attack in part due to this animals actions, I think the language matters. I definitely agree with you about her signs of mental illness, and while her self identified status did not appear to be at play in the manifesto, I definitely think it is relevant to the overall picture of instability and hate that consumed her.

Welcome to the group.

I don’t have a single 9mm that I would want to pocket carry. My P365 is perfect for IWB, but too big for my pockets. I’ve got a Kahr MK9 that is slim and short enough, but with it being a SS slide and frame, it’s too heavy and swings around too much. I’ve tried my wife’s CR920 in the pocket but it’s too bulky. About the only thing I ever pocket carry is a Gen 1 LCP in .380 or a NAA Pug in .22 mag.

@KahrMan scary stuff man, very thankful that the good Lord protected her.

NIB Wilton Ground Drill Press Vise Stock No. 11632 2-7/16” Jaw Width Weight 6lbs Great little vise. I have one that I use for small/detail projects and I find the precision ground sides to be excellent to measure off of. Prefer to meet in the Spring Hill or Columbia area, but not opposed to driving a reasonable distance for a meetup. I’m happy to split the shipping cost if that’s easier than a linkup. My trade interests are pretty broad, so feel free to ask…ammo is always great. Cross Posted
