Maks remind me of the Stasi and the KGB and bullets in the back of the head in the Lubyanka. PPKs, the Gestapo and SD. So, European for sure.

My wife has a Crimson Trace laser grip on her J Frame. She uses it for carry and as her bedside gun. She likes it very much, as do I. I’m not sure why they’re not more widely used for a defensive handgun.

Thank you for the post. There is certainly a lot of food for thought here. I’m going to have to do some honest self- appraisal. It’s been years since I shot in competition or under any stress at all.

Those Zippo hand warmers are great. Old school tech that seem almost like a secret these days.

I looked for serious gloves when I scheduled a caribou hunt in Northern Quebec some years back. I’d been mountaineering for years by that time and had a pretty good handle on what wasn’t going to work. I ended up getting a pair of US Army surplus extreme cold weather mittens. They’re bulky but...

Get a front pocket wallet, it’ll change your life.

They even drink wine while they shoot!

Check out the rental ranges in Vegas and other major tourist destinations. There are plenty of Japanese who are interested in firearms. (Sorry, this point was made already, I’ll read the thread next time before posting so hastily.)

Perfectly normal. It’s not a crack.

That’s a lovely pistol! Congratulations. It’s great to be reminded of how nice a 1911 looks without the ubiquitous beaver tail.

I had an early Eotech that absolutely ate batteries. I haven’t kept up with them, but I’d hope they have gotten better in that regard. I did like it, but I’m fifteen years older now. I used to have 20/10 vision and I’m at around 20/30 now. I still don’t need glasses to drive, but the ACOG...

My wife won a Walther PPX at a Friends of NRA banquet a while back. It has the best trigger of any pistol I’ve ever used.

I’m in southeast PA. What area are you considering?

Why not try an ACOG? Fixed 4 power, good glass, unquestionably rugged. Around 1200.00.

That pistol is enormous!

I got a 4x32 ACOG a year ago. I was going back and forth between that and an Aimpoint. I’m really happy I made the choice I did. I’m cross-eye dominant, and even so it’s no problem acquiring targets and shooting with both eyes open. I really like having the magnification too. I feel your...

Just remember to get your scope back to mechanical zero before you re-mount it. I used to place the objective against a mirror and move the turrets until the images of the reticle are congruent. In other words, until you can only see one image of the reticle instead of two. You can also count...

I’ve dealt with Sarco, but only at their retail store in Easton, PA and at gun shows. All dealings with them have been entirely positive. I’ll definitely be following the thread to see your result, I hope it works out for you.

I must say, the depth of knowledge to be found on this forum is impressive. Thanks to all who are willing to share their knowledge.

If you are responding to my earlier post, my friend only had rifles stolen. The State Police Investigator who showed up had a list of every gun he had transferred through an FFL, including a 10/22 he had bought in 1989. The Investigator showed up within hours of the theft being reported...
