I shot my Rock Island 2011this past Saturday. Only shot 2 magazines but recoiled wasn’t bad. Gun is heavy, which is why I stopped carrying my other 45s. I carried a full size 1911, then a commander, then an FN FNP-45USG with 2 15 round mags and one in the chamber for ages, but eventually, as I aged, it got to be just too heavy. I carry 37 rounds of 9mm in 2 mags now and it’s still a lot lighter. Not 45 or 10mm, though, LOL.

The blued one is terribly filthy. Have to see condition after I clean it up.

A friend of mine has inherited a few guns she’s interested in selling. I’m not familiar with them as I’m not really a revolver guy. One is a S&W stainless .38 model 64-1. Another S&W .357 blued with a model number that appears to be 843 288 maybe. Picture below. Can anyone give me a swag on value? The stainless .38 seems to have a little wear but not much. The .357 also seems to have some wear but both are filthy and hard to tell. I’ll probably end up cleaning them up for her. Supposedly one these was her grandfathers duty revolver as a motorcycle cop for years.

Welcome!

I saw this yesterday in a video from the Glockstore: https://rumble.com/v6rm6h9-breaking-glock-news-glock-to-discontinue-a-lot-of-guns.html?mref=zxjwr&mc=76gis&_kx=6VbWrod690Kva4FCGGyU0LqfCGfnDXdCgj-SXD9CYEuLpW1R2MRENflJ3E_C0bsD.THLkmh

I had that older age epiphany recently too. I built much of my knife and gun collection, along with ammo, on the survive an apocalypse scenario. I finally realized that my age, couple with a dependency on several different meds will insure I don’t survive long in such a scenario. Now I find myself trying to rethink what I have, pare down to what I enjoy and really need and liquidate the rest. The problem arise in that as soon as I sell one gun I find 3 others I “need”. The pain is real, LOL.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I’ve seen that on Amazon before. Is it good? Some of the radio books I’ve bought there were a waste.

Very cool. Thank you!

I bought several radios so far, all handhelds. I have a pair of Baofeng GM-15 GMRS radios, a Baofeng UV-82, a Baofeng/BTECH BF-8HP Pro and a Yaesu VX-5R. I study off and on for my Ham license but have not been as serious as I should be about that. On a positive note, I aced my test for my GMRS license, other than knowing that the GM-15s are for GMRS, I have no clue why I need 2 other Baofengs and a Yaesu radio.

I’m trying to do that. Halfway studying for my ham license and bought several handheld radios already, 2 specifically for GMRS, Baofeng GM-15 Pros. Haven’t really learned how to use them yet, LOL. WRTG665

Not sure it would have went so peaceful here in Nashville, particularly East Nashville. I saw a post on an East Nashville Facebook page that included a picture. That post wasn’t too bad, but many of the following comments got pretty bad. I know many people, maybe most people are all talk, but they were calling for actual violence against Trump supporters and ‘Nazis’ that support Elon Musk. I copied a picture from the original post and have. Question because I don’t understand the significance of the object defaced by graffiti, if there is one. Can anyone enlighten me?

I’ve been 280 for years. Primarily due to a few illnesses and mounjaro, I’m down to 245. I am trying to at least keep it there, but my goal is to get as close to 200 as I can. When I was in the military, I was always very close to my max weight even with very little fat. My doc says well, that’s not the best way to lose weight, but we will take it. LOL. I was prescribed mounjaro for my diabetes, not for weight loss. Oh, and I started with Trulicity, but had to cycle through a few different manufacturers products due to the way they became unobtainium due to people getting them for weight loss, LOL.

I had prostate cancer last year/early this year. In addition to the radiation therapy I had, I took some oral meds. I was wiped out tired all the time. Not sure which or if both contributed to that, but it was rough. I can’t imagine doing all that you did. Good for you. p.s I’m in remission now.
