  1. I like this idea! I'll throw in some 22LR ammo. Every kid should have a 22LR.
  2. Computer nerd. I'm the (entire) IT department for a few small businesses.
  3. Maybe a little late, but I'd highly suggest: https://desertgunleather.com/collections/naa-pocket Rick makes quality leather holsters and stands behind his product.
  4. I'd start off using layers on top about an inch wide and around 4-5 inches long and put the vet tape over it. You can go much wider if it's more comfortable. This might help: https://www.range365.com/diy-rifle-comb-riser-pad-on-cheap/
  5. I had both the B22 and Mark II FV-SR rifles and ran into the same issue when shooting them in NRL22 competition. The solution for me was to build up a cheek riser out of closed-cell camp pad and vet tape. I covered the top with a small piece of adhesive-backed felt. Bonus for using the felt is it's more comfortable and easy to replace if it gets dirty or (in my case) covered in sweat. It took a little experimentation to get the fit exactly right, but was well worth it for the end result.
  6. There are a lot of 10/22 owners that have built their own left-handed versions from available receivers. Example: https://www.tacticalinc.com/catalog/category/606/1943
  7. They are around here. The oldest hippy commune in the USA is right up the road: https://thefarmcommunity.com/ While the hippie population is only a fraction of what it was in the 70s, the local Amish community has flurished.
  8. I used to think the same way as you. I didn't want to rely on any electronics... especially on a daily carry. Just wait until you need reading glasses and your front site is nothing but a big blur (or multiple blurs). You'll change your tune about dot sights.

    Ruger LCP-Max

    The Keltec P32 is 8.07 ounces empty and 10.25 ounces with 7+1 of Fiocchi 32 ACP 73 grain FMJ. I normally carry it (only around the house) with 5+1 putting the weight at 9.7 ounces. Add the SM2 Sticky holster and it totals 10.63 ounces.
  10. No problems whatsoever with 10, 15, 17, and 33 round Glock factory mags.
  11. I solved this by always wearing my gun belt and leather holster when not in the house... and normally wearing it in the house too.
  12. On my 9mm, I replaced the mag release with one that comes out further to make it easier to drop the mag. Initially I had an Athlon 1-4x24 scope mounted as my eyesight doesn't do well with open sights anymore, but didn't like the way it handled. So I replaced the sights with a rail and added a Holosun 507C-GR gen 2 green dot sight. Now it's quick and easy to get on target. Lastly, a lightweight Magpul bipod was added for longer shots.
  13. I bought this dual carrier, assembled it, put it on my Hundai Tuscon, loaded 1 e-bike, and decided it's way too much weight for the Tuscon. I paid $294.99 plus TN tax totaling $323.75 to the door. If anyone wants to pick it up here in Summertown, I'll sell it for $200 (firm). While I'm not moving that beast to take photos, you can see the carrier at: https://www.titanramps.com/carriers/titan-carriers/dual-motorcycle-and-dirtbike-carrier-1000-lb-capacity-w-ramp-332201.html
  14. I've bought a lot of scopes from CameraLand. Great company to do business with and has provided some very good pricing on the Athlon Midas TAC scopes.
  15. I don't worry about competing in NRL22, I just try to get better and not to suck on any course of fire. If it shoots like mine, the B14R is one of the best 22LR rifles you can reasonably buy. Want to make it a laser, drop a TriggerTech Diamond trigger in it set around 3 to 4 ounces: https://triggertech.com/collections/bolt-action/products/diamond
  16. Welcome to the forums Melissa. A friend of mine moved from here in Southern Middle TN to Florida when he retired a few years ago. He sent me this link last yesterday:
  17. Tried dry firing a SCCY CPX-2 at the local gun shop and hated the trigger. Hoping to get my hands on one of the SCCY DVG-1RD (striker w/ red dot) to try out.
  18. My advice is to use FMJ in the P32 to get better penetration and to avoid rimlock. If you prefer to shoot hollow-points, consider making the"flyer wire" mod to your mag(s): http://www.1bad69.com/keltec/flyerwire.htm
  19. I also own a Keltec P32. Before I bought it I did some research and read that it works reliably (no rim lock) if you use FMJ. I've fired a couple of hundred rounds of Fioccho 73gr FMJ though mine with nary an issue. If you want a mouse gun, the Keltec is the smallest, lightest, reliable option out there. I also have a Ruger LCP II which is just a fraction larger than the P32 in length and width, but is quite a bit wider. The big difference is in the weight. The LCP II is 10.6 ounces (unloaded ) and the P32 is 6.6 ounces. When not using a 9mm (OWB), I find myself pocket carrying the P32 a bit more than the LCP II.
  20. That's actually harder than it sounds. Every time I take picture with the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the red dot ends up being a perfectly round circle much larger than the size of the dot when viewed. The only way I found around it was to take a slo-mo video and then screen shot a frame.
  21. If you are comfortable with using irons sights on the Glock... without having to hunt around, it's not a problem as it has the exact point of aim. You can even use the Deltpoint Micro as the rear sight for your irons as a backup. The more I use the Deltpoint Micro, the better I like it.
  22. As another piece of 'Classifieds etiquette', I find it annoying when the seller wipes all information about what was being sold from the original ad. I like having older posts available so I can see what an item sold for in the past. Wiping out the first post content or the thread title isn't necessary. Adding "SOLD" to the title (not replacing it) or adding a post to the thread stating it's sold is adequate rather than destroying the history in the classified forums.
  23. On mouse guns... I have a couple of the NAA revolvers that I use as backups or around the house. Both of them were purchased with 22LR and 22 Mag cylinders. In the thousands of rounds I've fired though them, I've only had a couple of 22LR not go "bang" and not a single 22 Mag fail to fire. Admittedly, I've fired significantly more 22LR than 22 Mag because of cost. By the way, Speer Gold Dot - Short Barrel 22 Mag ammo out of a 1-inch barrel NAA Pug revolver is LOUD. Some numbers on a NAA Pug from a LabRadar with Speer Gold Dot - Short barrel 22 WMR: Stats - Average 924.67 fps Stats - Highest 939.95 fps Stats - Lowest 915.51 fps Stats - Ext. Spread 24.44 fps Stats - Std. Dev 9.48 fps The kinetic energy at the muzzle for the Pug averaged 75.4 ft-lbf. But if I'm going to carry a mouse gun as a primary for some reason (very rare), I always pick the Keltec P-32. Fully loaded it only weighs 10.7 ounces compared to the Pugs 9.7 ounces and that's with 3 additional rounds weighing about .28 ounces each. If you're going to carry a P-32, I highly suggest using Fiocchi FMJ ammo for reliability. But to get back to the point I intended to make, using quality rimfire ammo, failure to fire is very rare. I suspect that a large portion of the failure to fire with 22LR is firearm related (i.e. light strike) rather than ammo.
