Out of a carbine... Excluding price and availability, which would be the better choice? 9mm .38/.357 .30cal carbine 2.23/5.56 7.62x39

I'm at a cross roads. I don't hunt or shoot past 100 yards, so my carbine is perfect for home defense and zombie like scenarios. Ammo is a little pricey but I don't burn through a bunch so it's not painful to slowly build up reserves. Spare parts are plentiful so I could also slowly get stuff to "re-arsenal" down the road. I can replace the front hand guard with rail from Fulton Armory and invest in a good quality optic, though it would be in front of the action. Is this a good set up option? Or I buy a modern carbine in a more popular rifle calibe and add the optics?

These brilliant men had such command of the written English language that they were able to write with such clarity of meaning. It applied not only to their time but for the future, regardless of the advances in technology. It can get sticky when you consider what some of our technology can do...

Disciplining kids in mixed relationships is hard as I can attest to with a 22 year old stepson. He earned the occasional spanking but I never used a belt. If you are still needing to employ whippings at 9-10, you may have s potentially long row to hoe

Here's a very easy and biblical solution. Since you have an idea of her basic needs, buy it and leave it on the porch when no is looking or have it delivered using the same address for the "sent from" pretty cheap using priority mail from the good old USPS. Matthew 6.3 / 6.4 "don't let your left hand...and, give in secret.."

Make hay while the sun is shining! Get all you can, bank as much as you can and know it's not permanent.

And he's from Maynardville....

You could try calling bud's in Sevierville or Bills outpost in Maryville. They both seem to have a decent selection of mini's in stock, you might luck out.

The box of Aquilla 60gr I traded to Dolomite was purchased pre - scare for $5/50 + tax/stamp.

I think someone posted $20/hour

Considering a VZ 58 from czechpoint is north of $800, that's a great deal. What are the prime differences between a 58 and a 2000?

I hope bud's online and in state continues to do well. Until the state of TN decides bud's is NOT two separate entities, my guess is TN Internet shoppers will enjoy low price and no tax. For those who like to buy in person, they will pay "extra" for the expense of brick and mortar, employee expense and sales tax...

I like both the Desantis Nemesis and Remora for a generic pocket holster, but he Remora gets the nod

If I didn't have any revolvers in .38/.357 and most of my autos where 9mm I'd seriously consider it. I had a .38 LCR and thought the trigger was superb out of the box. I liked the weight and shootability of the gun. From my observations buying plinking ammo, 9mm off the shelf has always been $4-$6 cheaper / 50 than comparable .38 What I want to know is why SD ammo in 9/.38/.357 all happens to run $1 - $1.25 per round.

I knew all those car ads were good for something. Keep posting the as you go photos, can't wait to see your finished project

I use my two holsters for both. 5.11 Tactical casual, burgundy in color and a black Goodrich and Gould. Both are 1.5", fits 90% of all my casual/business pants and shorts, bought off the shelf at Greene's in Knoxville and both were sub-$40.

I'm pretty sure the operation of the sp/gp/srh is identical. After removing the grips, this is the next step for disassembly. Cock the hammer and the hammer strut will travel down. You should see a hole drilled in the strut. Insert mystery pin here. Pull trigger/ ride hammer forward, pin will catch on the mainspring strut. You can now remove the hammer strut subassembly.

Ask her for help. It's for her stuff, she needs to access it, where does she want it placed? I like the ideas of mounting in / to and existing piece of furniture. Maybe you could find one about 36" cubed. Drape with some kind of cover and it could replace and become a night / end / accent table.

Next step is guv'mint will try to introduce and pass laws against relocating your business to another state...due to the dreadful impact on those down trodden people at the trough who are dependent upon the tax revenues guv'mint exports from businesses to feed the looters...playing the guilt card, "see how greedy those people are, they have more than enough and are not willing to throw alms to the poor." Who is John Galt?

^^^^ This When I carry a revolver I'll always take not-so-speed strips and/ loaders depending on pockets and outerwear

There's a 3" Wiley Clapp GP100 in the trading post...at a very attractive price point

On buying pants, concur with get a good belt! I have 2 1.5" belts and fit almost all of my business and casual belt loops. I think I read on the internet that the best way to fit for IWB is take your gun. I do and no I'm not scared to be pants down in the dressing room. If I need khaki, I grab my waist size +1 in 2 or 3 different brands. I pull them on and with no belt, slide gun and holster in to see how much clearance plus or minus I need and get properly sized pants.

I've got a N82 Tactical but carry at 10-11 o'clock. I will give an endorsement for quality of design, construction, handgun retention and comfort. I have worn this holster for two days of training in dead of summer and it never sweated through. I laid hundreds of yards of carpet tiles helping out my crew, from 7 am to 3 am. Sweating, up and down, hands and knees, humping boxes and buckets of adhesive and my CZ P01 never came loose and holster never really shifted. I carried a CZ75B edc with this holster for years and it's still my go to for my heavier and or larger framed handguns. I like the single clip, what I don't like is the large sweat shield makes it more difficult to get a nice high and deep grip when drawing.

Do you know how many unprepared food items I could stockpile with $600? Not just rice and beans and pb&j. ..healthy nutritious flavorful meals with leftovers. When the guv'mint controls your very sustenance of food and shelter, they have a lot of power. The Looter's State of America is running out of people to loot. Who is John Galt?

OG or not how brain dead can anyone be about taking a gun through security? Drugs, you probably got a shot, but cone on you meth heads and drug users, the airlines will happily check your firearms.
