I think this is a great idea. I have a Ross IWB for Glock 26/27/33 that I'd like to trade. Looking for OWB Glock 33 holster.

Negative for me. If I hear someone in the house, they have already given up their chance to leave unhurt. My son is on the opposite end of our house so I would be headed in his direction first thing! Wife would be in the bedroom with her pistol.

2009 was my first year turkey hunting. I bought a Remington 870 Super Mag in camo at Academy Sports in Franklin, TN for around $359. It's really a good all around shotgun. I didn't get the turkey gun which was more like $430. It has the shorter barrel and turkey choke included. I picked up a turkey choke at Dick's for around $20. The guy that takes me hunting uses a Mossberg turkey gun with a scope and he's been turkey hunting for 20 years. He always gets 5-6 a year with it combined with his bow.

Welcome to Bayleyknife - The home of practical, handmade knives They are like $700. I wouldn't hit anything worth $700 with a rock like he does. I guess if your life depended on it maybe, but come on.

Ill be there.

I have a G33 and am also interested in getting a 26 barrel? Is this possible to do. I know I would have to buy g26 mags?

I have it in 380 for my LCP. I couldn't find it anywhere in Middle TN. I ended up getting it in KY at a gun shop near Louisville. They probably had 10 boxes. I'm actually looking for it in 40 as well. The ballistics are awesome in all the calibers. 40S&W on their website is 1175fps and 506ft lbs with about 11" of penetration through heavy clothing.

I don't own one, but have handled them in a few shops. I was considering getting one, but ended up getting an LCP instead. I just didn't think the weight justified the gun. 15.2 oz vs. 9.4 oz for the Ruger. That may not seem like much, but that's 62% heavier. I carry everyday in a pocket holster and this makes a difference. I do like the actual sights on the 238 vs. the groove the LCP and 3AT have, but will have my Crimson Trace for the LCP next week, so this issue is eliminated. The other thing that concerned me was the manual safety combined with being a pocket gun!!

No offense to PETA but I would shoot the dog if I felt like it was going to harm my wife, son, or myself. I might try to kick it first, but I'm not going to get hurt or let my family get hurt by someone's stupid dog that should be contained. Also, on a personal note, I've had my permit for about 6 years now, and my wife and I were robbed at gunpoint at Hickory Hollow mall 5 years ago this month. I was carrying my Glock 27 owb under a fleece jacket. I'm pretty aware of my surroundings and I didn't even notice these 3 guys until they were up close and personal with a gun to my chest and one to my back. I wasn't able to get my 27, but if I had the chance I wouldn't have had time to chamber a round. I agree with everyone else, if it's not chambered then leave it at home. You will NOT have time to chamber a round!!

Check out Hornady "Critical Defense" ammo. That's what I carry in my LCP.

Sig P239 with 3 extra mags and LCP in nightstand. Remington Super Mag 12ga. under the bed ready to rack and go.

That's great!

What do you have in it total? Or what do you think it would cost to build one?

I can tell you you're exactly right about hoping you're never forced to use your weapon, but thankful to have one when it counts. In December 2004, 1 week before my wife and I got married we were leaving Dillard's at Hickory Hollow Mall about 9:30p. We had parked in the garage, but the Dillard's doors were locked where the rest of the mall was open until 10p for Christmas. This forced us to come outside and walk through the parking lot into the front of the garage. We were coming down the sidewalk, when a Nissan Maxima approached behind us and 2 guys were on top of us before I knew it. We were walking side-by-side and we had 1 guy in front and 1 in back and 1 in the car. Both had handguns pointed right at me. I was carrying my Glock 27 at the time in a belt holster under my jacket. I can tell you I didn't even have time to draw. They demanded money, wallets, phones, jewelry. I told my wife, fiance at the time, just to give them what they wanted. They got my phone, wallet, some jewelry, and took off. She was able to keep her phone, and believe it or not, they weren't smart enough to ask to see our hands, so she didn't offer her $3000 engagement ring. We ran across the street to Applebee's and called 911 from my wife's cell phone. About 5 officers responded within 5 minutes. I was concerned that I was now carrying without my permit, since they took my wallet. When they approached me, I let them know I was a TN Carry Permit holder and I was armed, and they have taken my wallet. They didn't even say anything more about me carrying fortunately. I was thankful for that. They got descriptions and wrote a report. I can say it really shook us up. It's been 5 years this December and we will never be the same. I felt like I was really aware of our surroundings before that night, but now we are constantly watching. About 3 months later, we saw on the news an armed robbery ring had been caught in the Hickory Hollow area. We contacted the detective and went in and looked at photo lineups. We couldn't pick out the photos, but the detective said that based on the number of facts from our case that matched their routine, he was 90% sure if was the same guys. They had connected them to more than 30 armed robberies at that point. He said it was probably more like 50 since many of their victims were hispanic, and many of them do not report crimes such as this. I've gone through the scenario in my head a million times thinking of different outcomes and have come to the following conclusion. I feel like I made the best decision I could've that night. My wife and I weren't hurt and they only got a few of our belongings. Our renter's insurance even paid for all the items we lost. Moral of the story: I'm thankful we made it through that night and never leave home without a handgun! I would encourage everyone on here to do the same. Get your permits and carry.
