The U.S. Air Force is issuing a new "Survival" rifle for it's pilots. It's a modified M4 with a 12" barrel and fits in the ejection seat of a plane, along with 4 30 round mags. You can read the article here. The military has followed the Civilian model this time. This is basically a AR pistol with a shoulder stock, not a brace. Smart!!!

Kinda neat looking! Pretty cool actually!

I remember the Auto Ordnance back in the early 90’s. It was the cheapest 1911 on the market at the time. After about a hundred rounds, I started having pins back out and the rear sight fell off. Put the pins back and sold it for a loss to an armor buddy of mine. Then went and bought a Norinco. I was much happier, right up until the time it was stolen. Great pistol! The SDS seems like a good pistol too, from the reviews I’ve watched and read. I’ve also talked to the counter guy at Harvey’s. He broke one down to see what a $350 1911 looked like on the inside and was impressed. He did a trigger job on one and let me try it out. It was very good. He just slicked up the original parts and put it back together again.

Fun video to watch!

I’ve thought about this for many years. Ultimately, it’s better to pick a rifle caliber, for longer range and knockdown power. The next question is which Rifle style, semi, bolt or lever. I have a lot more trigger time on a semi-auto, so for me that might be a better option, in the AR flavor. Next, is caliber. I could go with .223, a variety of 6.5 offerings, a 300BO or a .308. I’d narrow that down, quickly to .223 or a .308, because those two caliber are very easy to find. Looking at what I have at the moment, I’d probably select .223, because that’s what I have at the present.

He lived a long and good life!

Ruger LC9S Pro, Ruger LCP or a S&W 442. Dress usually dictates what I carry.

Well, I went hiking in the Smokies yesterday and I just carried my LCP. I've hiked quite a bit over the last 7 years and I go light, on everything, pistol included. But I don't carry for Critters. I carry for two legs. I think the biggest pistol I've carried is a SA .45acp XDs.

The LC9S is a bit bigger than the LCP and LCPII. It’s comparable to the Shield or Glock 43. If you want a 9mm that’s almost as small as an LCP, you should look at a Diamondback or Kahr CM9.

If you get a chance to shoot one, do so. I think you will really be impressed with the change. For the money, I'm not sure it really can be beat. The only negative is they come with one damn magazine. Here is a comparison of prices on the EC9S, the LCP and the LCPII. Tried to find a LC9S, but I think Ruger has stopped making them again. I know several shops around here still have new ones for sale, though. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/52078/ruger+ec9s+9mm+312+black+7%2b1 https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/54585/ruger+lcp+6%2b1+380acp+275" https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/45032/ruger+3765+lcp+ii+double+action+380+acp+(acp)+275+6%2b1+moon+shine+t

I have both the LCP (.380) and the LC9S Pro (9mm). You definitely will enjoy shooting the LC9S more. The LC9S is getting a bit harder to find. Ruger seems to be making these pistols in limited run. They make a version called the EC9S that is a more economically priced pistol. The sights are milled into the slide (the LC9S has dove tailed sights) and a cheaper finish, but other than that, it's same pistol. The triggers on the LC9S and EC9S are head and shoulders better than the LCP. The LC9S Pro does not have a safety. The LC9S weights about 7ozs more, unloaded, at 17oz. Note: the LC9 was more of blown up LCP with a hammer. The triggers were pretty bad on them. When Ruger came out with the LC9S series, they went to a striker, in place of the hammer and made a much better pistol.

I ain’t saying a damn thing. I think I mighta got semi permission to get my Unicorn Rifle, from my wife, on Saturday! A .357 lever action!!! If you go through Knoxville, you might want to consider stopping at Harvey’s, off Merchant Drive. He usually has a bunch of ARs, both new and used.

Thanks for sharing this! This needs to be spread far and wide, before tomorrow!

Nice! Never had a 40, but bought and 89 FJ62. Loved and miss that old wagon!

They wrote a song about those, Chevy Van, in 1973, by Sammy Jones! Man, I love those things!!! You won’t find one for $1500 now! I bought my first car 1979. It was a 4 door 1970 Plymouth Satellite, gold with an imitation alligator skin vinyl top, a 318 V8, factory am/fm, air and mag wheels. Got it from the Used Car manager in Maryville. It was his wife car. Picked up for $1000. Wish I still had it! Loved that car.

Marko is one of my favorite Sci-Fi authors. I had no idea he wrote this though.

Really can’t imagine shooting +P in my LCP. It’s not fun to shoot with regular .380.

Good deal here! https://palmettostatearmory.com/vortex-strikefire-ii-red-dot-4moa-red-green-dot.html

I love that case harden color! Very sharp!

Love to hear how it did at the range!

Looks like that’s the one you should go with!

This is a ticking time bomb, that’s going to go off at some point and cause a ton of mayhem.

This! ☝☝☝

I had a Gen 2 Colt Agent for a long time. Great little revolver. Regrettably, I traded it away. Today I have a S&W 442 that I carry a lot (IWB). Hides well, but isn’t much fun to shoot with +Ps. I’ve found it really loves the old Federal Nyclads, which are very difficult to find anymore.
