    Why buy and/or carry so many bullets?

    Spray & pray! lol Very good. I had forgotten about that one. “Enormity becomes ordinary when prevailed upon by desperation.” There’s some outstanding posts here. Thanks. Apparently some take things to heart too quickly, and I’m not attacking anyone’s notions, ideals, principles, or...

    Why buy and/or carry so many bullets?

    What am I missing? I see such prevalence for pistol makers to increase the capacity of their weapons regularly, well, many but not all. It appears there is a race of sorts for seeing just how many shots this gun or that can hold as they bring them to market! Then too, many pages here ande...

    Latest greatest hearing protection.. Active or passive?

    Seems to me one could pretty eaisly figure out if the sound was pemnetrating thru the lack of having a good seal around the ears, or the lack from the electronics, right? Simply turn down the ambient volume, and listen, later on shoot some while paying close attention? Having a gap in the...

    Latest greatest hearing protection.. Active or passive?

    Well folks, I've done gone and bought some HL Impact Sports headset. I’m thinking per haps too that some inside the ear plugs are as well a great idea. now that I’ve been reminded by some quite experienced gun folks in this regard, about it. I can see why those Pro Ears are as pricey...

    Latest greatest hearing protection.. Active or passive?

    basicblur Cool, thanks much. 'probably go with another pouch of sorts. they might even fit into my pc accessories/pistol bag, but it is filling up unless I get a separate case for ammo. Why did I throw away all my military stuff!? Oh, yeah. Figured I was done ... silly me.

    Latest greatest hearing protection.. Active or passive?

    For $3600 I'd want an android that will walk around with me with its hands over my ears, reload my mags for me in between sessions, and clean the guns when I'm done. That’s not called an Android, that’s called a youngster… a girlfriend… or a spouse.0 No matter which one you get, $3600...

    Latest greatest hearing protection.. Active or passive?

    singleactionsix Quick man, tell me where you found $3,600 hearing protection? Better still, well... no.. don't bother. I'd have to have so much dough to spend over $3K on hearing protection, I'd just have something custom fit and made to my needs instead. congratulations though. is...

    Latest greatest hearing protection.. Active or passive?

    hso ?You can find HL Impacts for $50 on sale and they will spoil you.” I’M BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THAT. It do appear the Howards are in front of the pack based primarily on the half a Franklin asking price going around the web… give or take a bit. For the “Impact Sports” model. Is it...

    Latest greatest hearing protection.. Active or passive?

    hso Sorry, and thanks. I looked around a bit.. searched a few titles… saw nothing real current… and actually thought I was in the acccessories section. Sorry. But as we are here for the moment, are Howard’s Active? How much do they run usually? Where? Is the main diff from Passive to...

    Latest greatest hearing protection.. Active or passive?

    Looks like I gotta get some hearing wear soon as it seems I’ll be getting out to a range now and then with some regularity, perhaps.. I’ve read thru some older archives on this but only scratched the surface I’m sure. I’ve seen virtually nothing on comparisons of active to passive hearing...

    What's your bag, man?

    Due to the great posts here that lead me to begin thinking out of the box or diaper bag, as it were…. And a short trip to wally World. A PC bag of sorts became my first victim for safer transit. For daily nesting it slips into a zippered, lined soft side pistol bag. There’s enough room for the...

    tbutera2112 3.25? How far off do you call accurate? I’m curious. Never would I have even thought about a weapon with so short a pipe. Never. I’d use a knife instead, and no one wants to bring a knife to a gun fight. Well, not if you want to have a shot at winning it. Lol.. Your thoughts...

    tbutera2112 Thanks much for the comments and info you’ve provided here thus far. It is indeed appreciated. In fact thanks to any and all that have made positive contributions. I hope I can return the favor. Why the thread? A knee jerk reactionary post that sought to find some more...

    Everything we do, we do with an eye towards something else… Aristotle I guess Arty was saying we’re not too often satisfied… for long. Or where we think we’re headed isn’t where we wind up. Margins are important for typists, and Wall Street . marginal performance gains are sometimes all...

    Ballistics,ammo, Barrle lengths and Roy Rogers?

    I sincerely appreciate the input thus far. If I had ice water in my veins, well I’d be dead… but if I wasn’t dead or dying from pneumonia or anemia , directing a 32 cal into the intruder’s noggin’ would very likely remedy just about all the bad guy scenarios… but I’m not that cool any more...

    Ballistics,ammo, Barrle lengths and Roy Rogers?

    I’m finding info on how balistics relate to the choice of ammo in a gun whose barrel length is either large or not large. I’m seeing it written that longer pipes aren’t as affected by slower rounds as are shorter barrels pushing the exact same caliber & type of bullet thru them longer ones...

    What's your bag, man?

    Jorg Great idea… probably the ticket for me too. RTARMS If you find those links to the pistol bags I’d sure appreciate seeing that. MrCleanOK Super… just what I was looking for as a night stand and about the house pouch. Thanks. When I paid for the SPX I asked (ugh) for a...

    What's your bag, man?

    Very cool. Thanks much. I guess I got caught up in the “gotta have a hot looking gun bag made by a hot to go gun joint” ideology. Never did I think about camera bags… personal confuser bags, gym bags, or just regular old luggage bags. Not at all. Sheeeesssshhhh. I did a little searching...

    What's your bag, man?

    Hi all... Well, I’m not one for wearing or carrying anything that has some manufactures prominently affixed brand or logo stitched onto it ordinarily. But I do need one bag for a Mossberg 930 SPX, and a hand gun to travel with or just to go to the range with. Or I need separate ones...
