I tend to keep the overwhelming majority of mine, but there have been a few that I've parted with.....and now kick myself in the butt for doing so.

"I've read that .45GAP was “an answer to a non-existent problem”, which I don’t think is quite true…it’s more like an answer to a problem that not everyone has—that is to have .45ACP ballistics in a manageably-sized Glock." This has always been my thoughts about the GAP, although I did...

A Gen 4 Glock 33 is my EDC and I also have a Gen 4 32 and Gen 3 31. I shoot them all quite often and have never really noticed the flash. The "bark" does tend to turn heads when you start sending them downrange though. The 31 is currently in a Micro-Roni and that is tons of fun to shoot. :D

Hazard4 makes a couple that might work. I've had a Battle Axe for a while. It fits an AR, a pistol and assorted mags, etc. https://www.hazard4.com/bags/ccw-bags/dropshot.html https://www.hazard4.com/bags/ccw-bags/civilian-battle-axe.html

Having lived and hunted in SE AK myself, it looks fairly practical for the conditions you're likely to encounter there.

The early Weatherby Vanguard Synthetics, those before serial number VB084281, were 1:12. Anything from that serial number, on up, is 1:9.

A trio of 7mm's....an 1895 Chilean Mauser 7x57, a Ruger 77 MK II 7x57, and a Weatherby Vanguard 7mm-08

I have two of their slides...both on OEM Glock 19 Gen 3 frames. The first one I built I used their upper parts kit since they were offering a package deal on it. The second one I just used spare OEM Glock parts I had on hand. No difference...both function exactly as they should. I still have...

My XDS 3.3 .45 says "Made in Croatia" right on it. Springfield apparently likes to spread things around.

I have both the SCCY and the DB9. Neither have given me a problem and both have functioned flawlessly with everything I've run through them, although I don't put +P's through the DB9. Due to it's very small size the DB9 is usually on me somewhere, IWB or pocket, as a BUG, but sometimes primary...

I got the DB9 new for $220 at a local show. I didn't have high expectations for it, but so far it's worked fine. I'll guess we'll see how long it lasts over the long run.

I guess I will be the odd man out on the DB9 (for now)....mine has been reliable so far with about 200 rounds through it. It's not my primary carry gun, but it's small enough to throw in most any jacket pocket on the way out the door so I usually have it with me as an extra. Being so small...

Hawaii has screwy gun laws for sure, but I often run into gun owners on the Big Island...many who have the black variety.

Thanks for the welcome. I've lurked around for quite a while, but finally took the time to register.

"Basically it appears hunting in Mozambique is not really worthwhile...." Sorry, but I would have to disagree with this statement. Many concessions in Mozambique have healthy game populations.....especially the Niassa Reserve and Zambezi Delta areas. Elephant, buffalo, lion, sable...
