Hi all! I have a 50 cal Thompson Center muzzleloader. For hunting here in Colorado, I use 50 cal maxiballs, since sabots are not legal for hunting in this state. However, I have a significant amount of Missouri Bullet Co. 44 cal (.430) Elmer Keith lead bullets for my 44 mag. I am...

I reload for everything I own, but I carry factory ammo when concealed carrying, so assume factory ammo. Currently carrying 80gr DPX Cor-Bon in the .380, and Black Hills 125gr JHP in the .357.

I own a LCP and a SP101. I CC both. Everything else being equal (comfort, concealability, etc) , would YOU rather carry 7 rounds of .380 in a mousegun, or 5 rounds of .357 in a revolver, and why? thanks! --Duck911

Thanks for the great replies! I ended up with the mini-slide. Received it in the mail Christmas eve. The gun fits in it PERFECTLY. Looking for a quality belt now, and then should be good to go. thanks!

I like both of these holsters for the price point and quality. I will be OWB carrying a Ruger SR9C. Pro's and con's between these 2 holsters? Is retention better with one than the other? Is one more concealable than the other or less likely to print? Much appreciated, --Duck911

Thanks for the report. I just bought the same firearm a couple of weeks ago. I've been traveling so haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but will hit the range this week.

Recently bought this same XD and LOVE IT.

Interestingly, that was a "node" that also worked well for me (roughly 23.4 to 23.8) but found that other node (above) with a little more powder and more velocity.

With 55gr NBT's, out of my RRA 20" varmint, 25.4 to 25.8 gr of TAC did will in working up loads. I've fine tuned the results to my specific firearm since these 2 pics taken during load development, and my powder charge is now 25.6 (with a different primer, and better results)

The difference is, a license to drive is an earned privilege. Personal property, ESPECIALLY the right to possess firearms, is a constitutional right. You are right, I meant personal property, not real property. I get it... I am of the opinion, and the supreme court appears to agree...

This makes sense. A felony DUI doesn't mean you permanently forfeit your car (48 states), horse (Wyoming), or riding lawnmower/motorized shopping cart (Alabama). Why would an unrelated felony mean you have to forfeit other real property, such as a firearm (restitution and/or civil suites...

My .02: 1) Buy a little pink or blue BB gun or single shot .22 for Olympus Jr. for future use. That is an investment that will NEVER fail. Trust me. 2) Hire a sitter and treat the wife to a great night on the town 3) Mags, slings, ammo, or whatever makes sense with whatever is left 4) diapers...

New to the classic turret press, and although I like the idea of the press, there is one thing I REALLY do not like: I want to use my RCBS Uniflow with the turret and powder-through expander dies, but also with the Lee priming system. The design of the press makes this almost impossible...

Interesting discussion. There are a lot of great points. For me, it boils down to this: People have lived after being impaled by telephone poles, and people have bleed out and died after taking an inadvertent pencil to the jugular. People have been killed by BB guns, and people have lived...

H322 for full house loads. Trailboss for fun loads. These are my go-to powders for 45-70.
