Thanks for posting this Paulshoot. I was considering the Taurus TX22 as another 22LR plinker, but was turned off by the one-year warranty.

I started shooting again a little less than 2 years ago and have gone though a whole range of pistols to get what I consider to be the best daily carry solution for me. I started off with a Glock 19/23, briefly went to a S&W Shield, changed to a Glock 26, and now carry a Sig P365 with a the 12-round mag. I don't like the feel with the 10-round mag. I'm still slightly more accurate with the Glocks as I've only put about 2000 rounds through the P365 so far.

I think it's a good way to tell the officer that you are carrying a firearm. When presented with a concealed carry permit, they'll usually ask if you have firearm on you and it's location. I'd much rather disclose that I have a pistol on me than them to spot it when reaching in the glove box for insurance card/registration or other movement. That's more likely to fuel an intense situation. Something a former LEO said to me is that criminals are unlikely go through the process of getting a carry permit. Showing a carry permit upfront demonstrates to the officer that you are concerned about the safety of you both.

I follow any posted signs restricting carry on premises... even ones that don't meet the state requirements. For me, it's voting with my money. If they want my cash they shouldn't have signs for no carrying.

When I received my P365, I ordered a Pancake holster from Desert Gun Leather. Rick has always done very good work. Note - the P365 is not listed on his website. You can call/email to order one. I'm not the most athletic individual (a brisk walk is my top speed these days), but I've not had any issue with retention on the pancake holsters. I just make sure they are wet fitted (molded) to the pistol.

I joined the local NRL22 matches here in Middle TN this year. Since the SE Regional match is going to be held locally, of course I’ll attend even though I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning. I have been lucky enough to win a couple of prizes at the national level including an Area 419 rail for a CZ 455 or 457 in the random draw for February. While there is going to be a prize table for winners, NRL22 has been very good to me and I thought I’d give back something locally by putting up a better item for a random draw than might otherwise be available so that everyone competing has a chance at winning a nice prize. So I’m donating a Limited Edition (from 2017) Savage A22 FV FDX XP rifle. This is a new in the box rifle that has only been pulled out to take the accompanying pictures. The difference of this model from the standard Savage A22 is that it has a FDE stock, 16.5″ threaded barrel, comes with a Butler Creek 25-round mag (in addition to the regular 10-round rotary mag), and is topped off with a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot sight. I have another one of these (scoped) and it’s pretty accurate for an out of the box 22LR. Please note that I'm personally providing this rifle without compensation from the league, I'm not attempting to advertise my business, nor am I associated with NRL22 or the local chapter other than just being a member and enjoying the sport. It's my way of giving back to the local club by encouraging others to show up for the match. To win the rifle: 1) You must register for the 2019 NRL22 SE Regionals. Note - you do NOT have to be a NRL22 member to sign up for the regionals and participate. 2) Show up and shoot the 12 stages. 3) Be there in person for the prize drawing after the match. 4) And put up with having your photo taken with your new Savage A22 FV FDX XP rifle. Big grin is optional. More details on the match: The NRL.22 South East Regional Championship will be a 1-day precision rimfire event consisting of 12 stages and requiring a minimum of 120 rounds to complete.
