Zero-dollar hearing protection method confirmed.

I know I've heard this before...but have never seen confirmation or a discussion about it. 

I just can't relate. Maybe I've made too many trips to the range developing 44mag hunting handloads. I LOVE the recoil, the muzzle blast, the burnt powder in my face. A .22 is about as challenging as a Pez dispenser.

I think all 'bullpup' configurations look like ass. But I realize my attraction to guns is more for the mechanics and beauty of them. Not so much the practicality. JMO.

Once thing to watch for would be the length of the metal tip that you feed thru the bore. Some rifle snakes might have one too long to feed thru a handgun ejection port.

G2G on all 9mm, ".38", 357 Magnum, 350 Legend, 360 Buckhammer, and a bunch of ".35 caliber" rifles.

Underrated sarcasm

Optimal only if said combatant is a lefty.

.356"

I also have a mod. 11, but a 20ga. I inherited it when my dad died. In a lifetime of owning & trading guns, this shotgun and his '32 Walther PP were the only 2 he would never part with. I treasure it.

Not even turning the sound on. Find a spokesperson who isn't hiding behind a mask & I'll listen with an open mind.

Won't you give me 3 steps...

I have an uncle whose man cave makes Cabela's Gun Library look like a shabby little closet. I wanna be him. Or at least in his will.

Right? That form needs holes on the edge so you can stuff a fat binder with them.

Not interested in any gatekeeper groups. Too much of that shit already.

So I go looking for a local Facebook group that allows gun sales listings and I keep running into a warning "DUE TO NEW FACEBOOK POLICIES NO GUN (ETC) SALES ARE PERMITTED". Looks like FB is off the table as a resource for private firearm sales.

I've had a Burris on my 44mag revolver for 20 years and have shot a LOT of hot reloads thru it at the range. Never a single problem.

I'm envious of these videos showing rapid fire and pointing a loaded weapon in undesirable directions. No indoor range, and most outdoor ranges I've ever been to will allow this. Too many rules & restrictions. Boring.

I'm about to find out. I went out today and bought the folding S&W.

No--for the FFL transfer. It's on the form as of last week.

I didn't realize states varied so much in their requirements. I have a decades-old disorderly as well but in Michigan the only misdemeanor that'll get you denied is for domestic violence. I guess I understand that--other than that pesky "infringing" part, of course. A disorderly where you weren't even a participant is just next-level nonsense.

All those old movies & TV shows with cops bracing their revolver on the left forearm... You'd think that practice would stop after one shot. I handload some hot rounds and the flash from the cylinder gap isn't something I want on top of my arm.

There are so many flyers on this target I question if you *ever* got a 3-inch group.

I assume similar cases were made for rifles, scoped rifles, and shotguns. I inherited my dad's Remington model 11 shotgun (1905-1947) that was always kept in a very similar case. His was short with 2 tubular sections, with a single leather handle in the middle. Intended to transport the shotgun broken down to fit in a trunk or whatever.

My dad never kept guns for long. Always trading them. There are only 2 firearms I can recall he hung onto. A Remington 11 20ga full choke goose gun, and a PP. I got the Remington, my brother got the Walther. He's promised I'll get the Walther when he passes on. I don't wish ill on my brother but ...

I'm confused by all this. Two weeks ago I bought a comp'd Hellcat under this promotion. The gun brought to the counter from the stockroom already had all the extra goodies in the oversize box so it (the comp'd version) clearly was included in the promotion. On top of the promotion my LGS also had 10% off that weekend. My total receipt was $620.

Because of the comp, or just in general red dots on auto slides?

Don't forget you have options even after the sale. I've had a Dan Wesson 44mag for 40 years. 6-inch barrel, full length underlug. It's heavy...and it's ported...and has Hogue grips. Real easy to shoot, painless. That "hand cannon" was my daughter's favorite gun to shoot when she was a teenager. And she was real accurate with it. With hot hand-loads the muzzle blast can create a little flinch where the lack of recoil didn't. Either way it's a blast to shoot.

I feel you. I can't have everything, and I really feel blessed going into retirement. I just have some adjusting to do.

Downsizing. No attic, no basement...in Michigan so can't use garage. I have to jettison all non-essential stuff.

A revolver, with open sights. Enjoy shooting something simple.

I learned some hard lessons about car warranties in general, and Cars Protection Plus specifically. Firstly READ the contract. Every word. Don't assume anything that isn't spelled out on paper. Because if an item isn't specifically listed--it's not covered. Example: my plan covered "AC repairs". Specifically listed are the compressor, condenser and evaporator. I had a refrigerant line break. Not listed, not covered. Not one cent. My plan was for "48 months, unlimited miles". Deep in the fine print I found a claims limit equal to the Blue Book value of the vehicle at the time of claim. I paid $1,800 for this warranty. The price i paid in 2022, while still impacted by Covid-Crazy values, was $8000. But the Blue Book value of the truck halfway into my warranty is now only $3600. *As time goes on this warranty value decreases.* My engine quit about 1 year into the plan. CPP required the shop to pull the engine & do a complete tear-down for a claim inspector to come verify the diagnosis. This would tie up a repair bay for several weeks so my trusted shop wouldn't start. Truck sat in their parking lot for 3 months while they made excuses. I towed it to another shop. CPP would only authorize: Repair of engine (Broke timing chain destroyed the heads & possibly pistons). Or Replace with a junkyard engine. I choose repair. Mostly covered by the warranty--except they don't cover the diagnosis. Which was exorbitantly expensive thanks to CPP policy requiring VISUAL PROOF. Engine didn't even survive a 20 mile test drive. Ok now I have no choice but the junkyard motor. The warranty covered most of the cost of replacing the motor. THIS motor also didn't survive the test drive. A camshaft gear started to walk off the end of the cam and destroyed the camshaft sensor. A simple repair... Except this motor is now warranted by the junkyard - - and they don't authorize repair. All they do is supply engines so they sent a replacement engine and paid my shop to swap them. Stupid... But okay. Second junkyard motor survives the test drive. About 3,000 miles later I take a 2000 mi round trip on vacation. The engine dies partway home. Now I'm stuck in Podunk, WV and I learn that I'm over the junkyard warranty AND I've hit the claims limit on my CPP warranty. Because of CPP policies all the value of the warranty is squandered on junk motors. I end up returning to West Virginia with a U-Haul and tow my dead truck home and back to the shop that's been doing all the work for me. This time the repair is 100% out of my pocket and I choose a factory-remanufactured engine. I've now put 20,000 mi on that motor and it's still holding up. If CPP would authorize a new or remanufactured motor instead of only authorizing repairs or rolling the dice on junkyard junk I might still have a warranty that's worth something for the next two years on my truck. These warranties are very carefully worded so that the policy holder is discouraged from making claims. And when claims are made, only the cheapest options are authorized. Just like in Vegas the house always wins.

Any pistol small enough for "appendix carry".

OP has explained the circumstances enough for the high hit. It happens. As for size--who cares. Sometimes you prefer lamb to mutton, veal instead of a steak. I'm a working man... Sometimes you have to settle.

It's a muzzle.

Then... nope.

This world that many prep for is not for me. I have standards, morals, and I'm old. I will prep for the short-term disaster but you can have your grim Mad Max world and good luck to you.

I have a 6906. There's no checkering on the trigger guard.

RI-060 instructions say Seller fills out all 3 copies, Purchaser signs it, Seller delivers copy to PD.

Seller.

I inherited an old S&W revolver in .32 short. It's immaculate in the original box with receipt & oil paper-- and I've never shot it. What good is a 32 short except for punching paper?

ALL of 'em.

I'd fall over before clearing leather from a concealment holster.

Real life? Beach cop at a REALLY rough beach?

I'll be contrary and suggest the Luger as the most iconic, unique and recognizable sa pistol. While I admit there are differences, all 6 of the guns shown look the same to the casual observer.

As a matter of fact I just traded the first gun I ever bought (S&W 6906 9mm). Wasn't especially attached to it. I still have everything else I've bought or inherited. Still in "intake mode".

"Three seconds per round or GTFO!"

My favorite whitetail rifle is my Browning BLR in .308. Much lighter and shorter than a bolt action and accurate enough at 200 yards or less.

You can lay blame on all these gender-confused, coddled crybabies going on shooting sprees for these new limits on your rights. We've been building to this point for at least 30 years.

I think a set of blue plug screws would look good enough if you're not going to hand it to a smith.
