357 Mag Edited to add reason; Most likely will not need 6 if your put the other 5 where they need to go. It is the Indian, not the arrow type thing, unless your a cop.

"Defender", Not a big difference, to me between, C Duty and C Defense. Critical duty is what they had for sale at the time. To get technical, the duty supposed to have a slight edge on higher power, when fired in 4" and 5" brls. I like higher power (+ P) and heavy bullets in 9 MM ammo. Aids in recycle function and bullet performance, IMO.

Was able to purchase 150 rounds of Hornady 9 MM 135 Gr FlexLock Critical Duty Ammo this week. Have not had any of this ammo before. Looking forward to testing it out in my MP 9C 2.0 in the future. Right now, I have my roscoe loaded with Cor Bon DPX. Do any of you guys have any experience with the Hornady ammo?

Pocket Carry Taurus 7 shot 357 snubbie loaded with Cor Bon DPX in 357. One 8 shot speed strip for back up DPX ammo. If IWB, S W M P 9 C 2.0 15 shot with extra magazine in Comp Tac Minitour IWB holster. Serves me well.

I don't even wear a watch any longer. I am retired!

I gave a new in the box Remington 1911 to my grandson. Purchased it a few years ago with my grandson in tow. He liked it and I told him I would give it to him some day. Gave it last year and they can't get it to run. Only 1911 I ever purchased and is just like many new ones I have seen. Won't run without a lot of work. Reminds me why I never liked them. Edited to add; Hope you have good luck with yours Willis.

We had several in Mid TN, (Murfreesboro area). Wet on an RV trip, for a week, came back, and all but 2 have left. Still feeding them.

J frame 38 Spl, Colt Pocket lite 380, Taurus 7 shot snubbie mdl 617 357 Mag, Kahr PM 40, Kahr P 9 MM, SW MP C 9 MM 2.0 15 shot, MP 9 mm EZ 9 shot, but the most constant is the 617 Taurus 357 Pocket carry. Prefer it constantly since purchasing it, 12 years now.

Prayers for the families in TX.

For sure, they reported the stopped someone attempting/ planning/trying to kill George W Bush this week because he ordered the war in Iraq. Crazies!

We are taking our 35' Wildcat to Defeated Creek for 2 weeks starting next Tuesday. Grandson going with us. Just finished some of my kitchen remodel and need a break. Got all my cabinets in shape for quartz counter top install now. Rebuilt 14 drawer slides and did some leveling. Getting close to completion. It just takes lots of money. Why I am not going out west this year. That and 5.00 + fuel. Truck get 11 MPG pulling a 35 footer w/2 slides. Airstreams, # 1 in IMHO.

We have a 35' Wildcat 5th wheel. Have had RVs since 2001. On our 4th. Still camping but don't know how much longer we will be able to do it. Always wanted an Airstream but don't like the floor plans. They are rugged and last many years but are "Expensive."

Tanger Malls are not indoor. That was a lot of the problem with Hickory Hollow. Also their underground parking garage was a trap. Lots of muggings in there. I was almost involved myself, once. Thugs hung out in indoor comfort, however it does make me wonder how this mall will do. Cool springs is indoor and has faired quiet well in Williamson County.

I really lucked to about 5 years ago. I have a 35' RV and need a 2500 HD to pull it. I had a 2001 Chevy 2500 HD 4 door w/long bed, gas burner with a 6 liter engine. Was in Gatlinburg about 5 years ago and my son-in-law called and said a guy in Smyrna TN had a 2005 Duramax 2500 HD with a long bed and 4 door club cab for sale. He went on to explain it was in a fire in Pigeon Forge and the fire melted the front end and windshield and he could repair it for around 3000.00. It had 80,000 miles on it. I told him to get it and we purchased it for 7,200.00 as is. Cost me 3000.00 all totaled to get it in A 1 condition. Ended up with 10,200.00 in it and sold my 2001 for 7500.00. finally it cost me 2700.00 to trade up 4 years with 80,000 miles on it, and getting a Duramax Deiseal to boot. My best trade ever. I have put 50,000 miles on it, in the past 5 years, since purchasing it, and I could still get my money back and even make some profit if I sold it today. Edited to make correction.

Don't know how to do pics Grayfox54. My range is not too special just a big dirt pile, 20' wide X 6' tall, and and a bunch of steel gongs and B 27 target racks. I can get 100 yards for rifles, but just 3 of my steel targets are for heavy rifles. I have a shooting table and chair out there and usually shoot my handguns at 21 to 30 feet off hand. I don't like to shoot the steel closer than 21' because of danger of bullet splatter although my targets are spring mounted or mounted on angles to direct the splatter into the ground and not back at the shooter. I am just glad I can still shoot at my house. I have close neighbors, but am courteous and don't fire early mornings (after 9AM) or late (after7PM) in summer. I hear a lot of shooting around my neighborhood. I am 8 miles from MTSU and 5 miles from the city limits. We have 3 acers.

Got my new pistol rack up on the range(6, 6" steel targets on a 2X4 spring mounted). Went out and shot 80 rounds of 22 LR and shot the ammo out of my EDC 357 Mag so I could put fresh ammo in it. Neither did not harm the targets but the Cor Bon copper left a big mark. Also moved the spring loaded target quiet a bit. "BIG DING" off the steel sounds sweet from the Magnum. Do that about every 4-6 months so the 357 Cor Bon DPX stays fresh. Trying to go out and practice ever 3 weeks now that the weather is better. I used my SW mdl 317 8 shot revolver and my Taurus 7 shot 38/357 7 shot snubbie. Got rained out and had to come in. Felt good, cloudy 74 no wind. I could have gone a bit longer if not for the rain.

Went to Home Depot and got my rigid conduit legs for the target rack. I stood there and watched the guy measure and mark the pipe then saw it on their electric cutter. Told him the pipe was 10' long, and cut me 4 pieces that are 2 1/2 feet long (adds up to 10 ft, right). Got home and not one pipe is the same length as the other. GOOD HELP! How can someone be so sorry????? Guy had a pin on his vest that said he had been an H D employee for years.

I purchased 6 pistol targets and the handy plate rack hardware so I can hang the plates side by side on my range. I believe their 6" plates with hangers that slide on a 2X4 with attachments to slide on the 2X for legs to hold them up. Always wanted some. These are spring mounted plates so it suppose to hold down bullet splatter. Should be a nice addition to my back yard range. These plates came from Shoot Steel and suppose to take a steady diet of low mag handguns up to 44 mag. The 460 and 500 cal are out. Been shooting a bit as of late. Edited to add; Hope it quits raining so I can get them on the range. Raining like a cow _____ on a flat rock here this morning. Pop Pop

I don't fully know why it is giving problems. They are in S Carolina and I am in mid TN. Going down there the first of the month and will check it out. They are using WWBox, not sure what grain bullet, practice ammo and some federal all RN practice. I told him to clean it and lube it liberally and he did and still would not run. They took a friend with him on the second outing who has 1911s and he/both could not get it to run. I only purchased the pistol on a big Christmas special (430.00 out the door new after factory rebate) and have have had little experience with that platform. I had 2 others I purchased used and they were not reliable for me, but I thought I would try a new one. All 1911 I have been around have experienced issues. Glad you guys have had better luck with your 1911s.

I purchased a new Remington 1911A1 a few years ago. My grandson was with me, at Bass Pro, and I told him I would give it to him when I was finished with it. I took it to him last month. They can not get it to run. Even had a "gun guy"??? look at it. He could not get it to run more than one shot. I never fired it because grandson wanted to be the first one to shoot it. A totally new pistol was important to him so I went with his wishes and never tried to fire it. I have owned 3 1911's. I know there are die hard 1911 guys, but in my experience, the other two I owned, I could not make them run good enough to trust them. I am going to see them next month, and will see if I can make the 1911 run?????? I have tried, but I am just not a 1911 guy! Never owned one or seen one that was reliable.

Moped actually the 617 is a K frame size revolver with a 2" brl. If not mistaken, the 627 is a larger frame. I can actually carry the 617 in a pocket holster and do it every day.

I just throw 3 snake shot loads into my EDC, Taurus Mdl 617 7 shot snub revolver and go. Been marking horse trails in dense brush/woods (90 acers) (daughters horse farm) the past 2 weeks. Got them cleared last week. Daughter is riding them today with several friends. This combination has served me well. I have killed snakes, with this set up before, but you must be close (10 feet or so). By the way I walked over 65 acers and never saw one snake, but I know they are out on warm days but moving slow. Saw a picture of a 3' black snake, on my neighbor's carport, last week. Edited to add; 38 Spl CCI snake shot loads.

I have a 4 Y O Hustler 52" zero turn we just put a new 24 HP Kawasaki engine on. Cost me 1800.00 delivered for the new complete engine. S-I-Law installed it. Cuts great. Mower has 750 hours on it and we purchased it $300.00 from a kid who ran the old engine without oil and never cleaned the air filter. Didn't watch the oil level, he said. We just replaced all the belts and serviced the hydrostatic wheel drives, and it is ready to go. Mowed 2 1/2 acers(our yard) with it Saturday. Working fine. I believe it is 6750.00 + tax for a new one. Got a good mower for a fair price IMO. Edited to add; My son-in- law has a Bob Cat 60" z turn and a XMark 60" z turn. Both are excellent mowers. I have an old John Deer Lawn and Garden tractor type mower purchased in 1986 with a commercial grade Koehler 12 HP with a 42" cutting deck. It is a 212 size Lawn Tractor. Talk about a good buy, 26 years of good service at not much expense. It smoke a little now, but will cut grass fine. Kinda like me, a little worn. Been rode hard and put up wet!

I had a new Remington 1911A1 I gave to my grandson this year. Liked it but am not a 1911 guy. I purchased it at Bass Pro on a moonlight/Xmas special several years ago. Got it after store discount and after rebate, for 450.00 new I B. Grandson was with me and I told him I would give it to him when I was finished with it. Giving my excess guns to grandchildren so wifie will not have to mess with them after I am gone, if I go first.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have not chain sawed for 3 days now and the pain and swelling has gone down, somewhat, but not gone completely. Right hand is worse than the left. One guy told me to try Frankincense cream yesterday. Like the idea about the frankincense. My wife said we can purchase the Frankincense "concentrate" from our local health foods store. I have taken the Apple Sider vinegar, two tablespoons per day, and not helped. I am on Meloxicam and Gabapentin and have been for years for diabetic neuropathy pain in hands and feet/legs. Also on a low dose aspirin for blood thinning for the heart disease. I do have neck compression and have had surgery twice and have 4 vertebra, out of the 7, fused. This pain has started in the last 3 months and steadily gotten worse. The ointment I am using now Aspercreme/Lidocaine is helping a little. Just might venture to the Health foods store today. Again thanks. I am game for any thing.
