    XDS 45 acp

    I bought my 1st 3.3" .45acp XDs in Aug'13 (w/pineapple grenade grip treatment) and my 2nd (Mod2) in Aug'19. As I type this sitting at my kitchen table, my XDs Mod2 is in a DeSantis MiniScabbard holster at 4:00 on my belt. ;) I like the first model very much and the second even more. It...

    Musings on Holsters for CCW

    ^^^ This ^^^ For me it started with a black leather Roy Baker pancake holster for my PPK/s in 1975. I still have the holster, btw. Extremely comfortable under my suit-/sport-coat and the weight of the pistol would "disappear" shortly after adding it to the belt. :)

    My Child Is Pretty Curious, Do You Lock Up Your Guns?

    <shrug> No unsecured, fire-able firearms at my house. There is, however, a large number of unsecured sharp-pointed and/or -edged objects all over the place. ... so, not a kid-safe place, at all.

    Corroded Flashlite batteries fix

    I learned the universal hard lesson about batteries in the 50s when I experienced some that had "gooped" in toys. Seems that it was about in the 80s(late 70s?), with the advent of the Alkalines in volume perhaps, when I stopped running into the batteries gooping problem ...ever ... un-til...

    If you think ammo is expensive nowadays....

    And under that vest you can wear your Filson "Field Flannel Shirt" that only set you back $115. :scrutiny:

    Can someone help

    :thumbup: What a great sentence, JohnKSa! ... and the term "federal law" can be replaced by myriad different things referring to those poor benighted and/or confused souls who are declaiming about such misunderstood "facts".

    Red dot or irons

    Over the decades I have accumulated quite a few handguns, many of which have spent time in my EDC lineup. None them is machined for a RDS so no RDS for me ... yet ... Next time I consider acquiring an EDC-possible handgun, I intend to research the subject.

    New CA Bulldog .44 opinions/experiences?

    Sorry, my pair of Bulldogs (silver, 2½") I purchased NIB in Summer'14. Aside from some cutter-chatter in the bore, they appear to me to be decent economy-grade .44spls and accurate enough for defensive, close-range purposes. I have one configured with a hammer and the other without. Here's a...

    Mine is .32-20. Thanks for the pics & explanation. It is going to be awhile before this smile leaves my face. :)

    Osprey 45 Offset Suppressor

    <chuckle> Not only do you have multiple 27Ses but you also have them threaded for cans. I bet those suppressed Marlins are really quiet as I have always deemed my 27S to be borderline OK for open-field-shooting sans earpro. :)

    No more gun shows for me

    I would be happy to pay $20 apiece to attend one of the old-style Gun Shows. Y'know, lots of tables/vendors with mostly generally-well-priced used firearms, reloading supplies and accessories ... and some lightweight food service on-site (w/ tables & chairs). I used to really enjoy slowly...

    Are these 147gr. .308 pulldowns even safe to shoot?

    They will be fine for your purposes. Load'em. Shoot'em. Enjoy! :)

    For 2024 ,What Type Firearm Do You Desire the Most to Acquire?

    A VG-condition G43 or K43 ... but, alas, they have long since surged past what I am willing to pay for one. Even repeatedly mentioned offers of trading some SVT-40s as part or all of the price has produced no nibbles over the years. <sigh> Life. :)
