Moped

The title says it all. I'm looking for a pocket holster for my Ruger Max 9, which has a CT 1550 reddot sight on it. I like to wear bib overalls that have deep pockets and the Max 9 with the reddot, fits. But I want the trigger covered, when It's in my pocket. Does anyone make a pocket holster for a reddot equipped pistol?

Welcome to East Tennessee. Honestly, as long as you are in the right in a shooting, the odds of you being tried and convicted are very low. LE and the Justice System aren't that way at all, around here. Nashville and Memphis are the areas you probably have to worry more about such a thing happening. Many years ago, here in Knox County, a man shot and killed a Peeping Tom, he had caught looking in the window at his teenage daughter, as she was undressing. The DA took it to the grand jury, because he shot the Peeping Tom in the back, as he was running away. The Grand Jury rejected the DA's argument, even though he shot the guy in the back. The DA didn't try that again.

Thank you all! She's beautiful pistol, but a rather snappy shooting little thing and not a lot of fun over an extended range session. I've found every .380 that I've have every owned to be that way, but my Ruger LCP Max. She is deadly accurate though. The test fire target is in the box too and it's not a lie. So far she's ate everything I've fed, but that's mostly FMJ and some 80 Gr Legend Copper HPs. I do waffle back and forth about selling her, when I get the fever for a S&W revolver. And right now, I have the fever. But I am resisting mightily. I think there are going to be a couple of other pistols that might end up getting sold or traded, instead.

I carry a ALOX Farmer everyday of the week. I also have a couple of ALOX Soldiers ((Wenger and Vic), a Tinker, Tourist and Champion, as well as a Wenger Locking SAK. It's name escapes me, but it's blue. I favorites are the Farmer and the either of the Soldiers, followed by the Tinker. I never carry the Champion. It's just too big.

I'm carrying 147Gr JHP Federal Hi-shock in my Glock 45 and Ruger Max 9,

Someone over on P-F.com posted about it last week, but there were no reviews or pics of it, but one and that one apparently got taken down quickly. This is the first I'm seeing of it. Looks like the stole the design from Keltec but moved the hinge from the top to the side, which is smart, in my opinion, because now you can mount an optic and leave it on. Unless it they make a version that's Glock mag friendly, I will not be looking at it. I'm not a M&P fanboy. And somehow, I don't see S&W doing that.

Throwing another oldie out there. You can get the Jesse Stone series of TV movies on Amazon. Well worth the watch. Tom Selleck is always great!

I think most of us understand this...

I'm thinking that was a good thing! Not sure the "Swamp Harpoon" would be capable of bringing down a pig. Maybe if the whole squad shot it...

There may be no criminal charges over this, but I suspect that some heads are going to roll at both the hospital and at KPD. I also suspect that there will be some additional training for all personnel, to handle these types of situations in the future. My personal take on this is we need some sort of group within KPD, that handles these types of situations, other than beat LEOs.

Now that's interesting! Not sure I've ever heard of that!

Always wanted one of these. Ran across one at a Clinton Pawn Shop, last summer. But felt they wanted too much for it at $600. It was pretty beat up. And also I remembered the thing about the shock buffers. Not sure you can find them anymore at all. Pretty sure they replaced it with the Firestorm, which was a little all steel single action pistol, in 9mm and .45acp. Those were pretty neat little SA autos too. Still see them around from time to time. Someone may have already mentioned them on this thread.

Link explaining this?

Got two more. One of the best 1911s I’ve ever owned was an Chicom Norinco 1911a1. Bought that and used to shoot it against a couple of buddies, 1911a one was a Colt 1991 and the other was a Springfield GI. All three of us shot all three pistols and all three of us consistently shot the Norinco better. It shot to point with 230gr ball at 15 and 20 yards. The SA shoot a couple inches low and the Colt’s group were always bigger. The second was a Ruger P89. Big and kinda a clunky, but ate any 9mm parabellum out there. Used to go in with a friend and buy that cheap Egyptian 9mm machinegun ammo they sold on Shotgun News. They had really hard primers and not all pistols would shoot it. My friend had SIG 226 hated that ammo. The Ruger would sail through mag after mag, with no issue. The worst pistol I ever is a tie between a F.I. Industries .380 and. Keltec PF-9. The .380 would jam at least once a mag. It looked like a Colt Mustang. The PF-9 would drop the mag about every third shot. Didn’t matter which mag I used. It also was the most painful pistol I’ve ever shot.

If I were to carry a .22 for SD, It would be my Taurus T-Rex 22. LOVE THAT GUN!!! I've had zero issues with it shooting 40gr standard velocity white box ammo, Aguila HV and Federal Punch. It's run all those so far shoots really nice groups!

I carried a Gen 1 P32 for a couple of years. Then my oldest wanted a small carry pistol and I thought I wanted a LCP. So I bought one and gave her the little P32. It ran great with FMJs. I have a box of Silvertips for it, but after reading about rim lock with HPs, I just decided to shoot FMJs through it. Honestly doubt the HP would expand, with .32acp. I like Taurus revolvers. I have a 627 Tracker in .357 (7 shot) with a 4" ported barrel, that shots incredible. .357 158GR SJHPs feel like your shooting .38 spl with those ports! Right now, I'm seriously thinking of getting a Taurus 3" 856 .38spl (6 shot) or a 3" 605 .357 (5 shot) to use as a carry pistol. I will probably trade my S&W 442 in one or the other. I have a inch for a 3" revolver and S&W K-Frames are super expensive or made from unobtainium.

Actually, it did change the policy for the company I work for. Leaving it in the car is now permitted. Just can't bring it into the building. So that one had a good effect too. Baby sets are better than nothing, which sometimes is what it feels like with Tennessee State Government. We all know that without considerable lobbying and political pressure nothing would ever get done concerning 2A laws. We've come along way since the mid 90's.

I'm glad they cleaned this up. I'll be honest, this looked like a "death blow in waiting" for this bill. This bill seems like a step in the right direction, for sure. But we still haven't gotten rid of the "Gunbuster signs", have we...

I won a new 75B on a Harvey's Online Auction several years ago ($430+ tx & TICS). I found it was a great shooter, but it just didn't fit my hand at all. I guess they must be sorta small, but in order to engage the safety on or off, I had to either break my grip or use the other hand. There was no flicking the safety on and off with my shooting hand thumb. I also found it to be quite heavy to carry. A friend of mine at work, was looking for one, so I sold it to him for $500. It's his go to carry pistol now.

H&R 929 .22LR 9 shot revolver. Back in the day, they were very inexpensive with decent accuracy and capacity. Dad bought one for $79 at at a gun shop on Clinton Hwy, back in 1973. I learned to shoot pistol with it. Certainly not a S&W or Colt, but still a very good pistol. And I two, enjoy .32ACPs. I'd love to have another one in my stable. I've also been searching for a .32 S&W Long/ .32 H&R/.327 Fed Mag. revolver, but can't find one to trade on.

CT mayors wrestle with what data show is at root of gun violence: Chronic repeat offenders (yahoo.com) We've been saying this for decades!!! But no one listens to Gun Owners!!!

Congrats! I think it's an entry level knife and a good one to see if an auto is for you. I never moved on to anything else, though I have been eyeing trying an OTF auto. And while I'd love to have a Microtech or a Benchmade, that's just not going to happen. So I will be looking at $100 and below for one.

Probably not a popular choice around these parts, but I have a Boker Kalashnikov Tanto. It was one of the cheapest ones out there, when they legalize autos to carry here in Tennessee. I wanted to see what it was all about, so I bought one for $45 at SMKW. AUS8 Steel, I believe. I still carry it. Not a bad knife at all, and I've had zero issues with it. It has a safety, you have to push, in order to open the blade. This one is D2 steel, but still around the same price. Boker Auto Kalashnikov Tanto Black D2 | SMKW

I saw a security camera video of the crash this morning on Twitter. That chopper literally fell out straight of the sky. There was none of the juking and jiving like you see in the movies. It dropped like a rock. They never had a chance.
