    357 vs 44 for versatility

    My opinion, .44. But has been previously noted you don't have to shoot, or carry magnums in either one. If your looking to woods carry, or, CCW, take a look at the CA Bulldog. Stainless steel. Weighs 19oz. The .44 Special makes a great woods gun. And if your not feeding the Bulldog a steady diet...

    I'd like to try making a pocket holster

    Too add to the above. The purpose of the stack of leather is to create a pocket for the barrel. Think of a flag pole pocket on a paraders waist. ( This was my inspiration) The other purpose is the gun will rest on the stack using the front of the trigger guard. This will keep your gun upright ...

    I'd like to try making a pocket holster

    If you just wrap your leather around the gun and sew the opposite sides together, you will eventually have trouble unholstering your gun. The leather due to sweat and heat and the tightness of you pocket will cause the leather to form around your gun. Great for belt holsters and retention but...

    Underhammer?

    I'm in the process of building my own .36 pistol. I'm using an H & A frame, with a 10" Oregon barrel. Going to look like an oversized boot gun. They are not hard to build. The H&A ( Numrich ), and a Billinghurst, receivers are both available. Add your caliber barrel of choice, install some...

    This guy got into a little trouble.

    That's what my nude ex wife said, when I walked in on her and her nude " old boyfriend ". She was caught just like the racoon. But thankfully that was a few years ago.......no lingering bitterness here....:fire:

    Recommend me the best pocket carry

    I currently pocket carry a XD mod2 .45acp. I first started by pocket carrying a Ruger SP101. And I have pocket carried a CA .44 Special Bulldog. I never have issues with printing , I wear my shirts untucked. Carry it, every day. You will get used to it. It does take a different aproach to...

    Carry on a motorcycle.

    Springfield XD mod2 .45acp. I carry in front pants pocket. But if I have the leather on, I move it to an inside pocket.

    What part is this?

    Go to youtube and see if you can find dis-assembly videos for both guns. Do one at a time. Hopefully you'll find it.

    How long does a cannon last?

    American Revolution cannons are still shootable, as are Civil War cannons.

    Oneida eagle bows?

    I still have and shoot my early 1980's Eagle. I always liked the recurve look, with the compound power and let off. They are smooth, but loud, definitely need string silencers. I tried a trigger release one season, but went back to three finger draw, it felt more natural with the Eagle. Right...

    Missed pocket 1911 market?

    I, on the other hand have rarely carried in a OWB holster. My normal is pocket carry. I have carried a Ruger SP101 .357. S &W 642 , Kel tec PF9. Charter Bulldog .44, and am currently carrying a XD mod2 double stack .45acp. The heaviest is the XD, but not by much. I make my own holsters, so I...

    XD9 Tactical discontinued?

    You know the funny thing about the grip zone? Whatever you are pointing it at, will never see it. It could be worse, it could be stamped on the side of the slide / barrel :rofl: Despite all that, it works for me. My XD mod 2 .45 acp points naturally and stays put in my hand. I was set on...
