  1. Thanks for posting. Damn shame that we have to go all the way to Louisville to get a good gunsmith.
  2. "They're coming to get you, Barbra......"
  3. You're exactly right. The .40 takes a lot of undeserved shade thrown it's way by folks that do not understand it or have not taken the time to shoot it enough. One of the best deals I ever got on a handgun was about 15 years ago when one of the middle TN dealers got a hold of a bunch of Sig P229's in .40 where one of the Police dept's (I think Metro Nashville) were cycling out. The price was crazy low and I got up there early and got to pick one out that looked as though it had hardly been fired. Below are picts as it looked when I got it and then after I added a couple of things to it. It is my bedstand gun right beside me at night.
  4. Note to self...... "NEVER sell nothin'"
  5. That really looks good. You may have inspired me.....
  6. Pop, yeah, it is a bit small in my hands, too. I am 6'7" and have pretty good size hands..... but it beats carrying a sharp stick. I also have a Ruger LCP that I like better. I bought a North American Arms in .22 mag. Again, very small, but can be used as a "get off me" gun.
  7. Speaking of pocket pistols.... I've had this little Beretta Tomcat in .32, for about 30 years. It is a nice and reliable pocket carry. I did "jazz it up" a bit by adding some new grips. Makes it a little more bulky.
  8. I have not heard that news yet. thanks for posting.
  9. Not familiar with that store. Is it a chain or local to White House?
  10. All good, folks. Just always remember that familiarity and smooth/speedy deployment are just as important as shooting accuracy. Maybe even more under a stressful, life-threatening situation.
  11. Many you may have read this as it just came out in the NRA Shooting Illustrated, but it is germane to the topic of this thread. Hope you enjoy it: Ditch the “Carry Rotation” | An Official Journal Of The NRA (shootingillustrated.com)
  12. Well, I guess this is another vocation that those Gen Z'ers, who are chompin' at the bit to find a good trade or career can set their sights on................. NOT!!!!
  13. Why is it that with as few good gunsmiths as there are, they get more and more "selective" in what they will work on. I recently had some work I needed done on a Sharps 1874 target rifle reproduction. I had to look all over the place for someone that would take it on that I had any confidence in.
  14. This is very true and is well stated. I too switched several years ago to a XDs .45 and have run thousands of rounds through it. The acquisition of this firearm, the feel, the familiarity, the reliability and the fact that it is muscle memory rather than only thought to bring it to bear, far exceeds the benefits of a few more rounds or a red dot or a rail system or anything else. Everyday carry (EDC) is for one purpose..... to save my life and the lives of my loved ones. It represents the most hallowed position that can be held in the realm of firearms. This is in no way a put down of the newer technology that is available or the cool features, etc., etc., etc. I enjoy those as much as most others.
  15. Oh, I see. No, it just uses the 45-70 cartridges. Whether off the shelf or when loading our own.
