    gun oil

    For "keeping it oiled" I've always kept a 10oz spray can of RemOil handy, figuring it will run/wick into nooks and crannies like under sights/mounts, around screws, and into swivels where I'd miss with a wipe. I just step outside and spray it pretty wet, bring it in and prop it muzzle-down on a...

    What's Your Favorite 22 Rifle

    An old Marlin model 60 with Williams Firesights. It's magically accurate at 100+ yards. Holdover is about 15 inches at 100 yards.

    Talk A Noob Through Concealed Carry 380s

    This is correct. A sturdy belt is a must. It does not necessarily need to be a high-dollar "gun belt" however. Any fat / thick/ stiff belt from Walmart is a good start. As far as IWB holsters, Crossbreed Supertuck is kind of an Industry-Standard baseline. I'm sure there are probably better...

    Talk A Noob Through Concealed Carry 380s

    I disagree that comfort is an issue sitting in an automobile with an IWB full-frame. Put it at about 4 o'clock and there is no problem. Easy to get comfortable, easy to pull. I found that a pants-pocket carried LCP is almost impossible to access quickly while sitting in a car-seat. The sharp...

    Talk A Noob Through Concealed Carry 380s

    ...And only because you chose to play the "full of themselves" card... ...look at the wear on our gear and tell me who's been carrying longer.

    Talk A Noob Through Concealed Carry 380s

    ^^^ Well we disagree. I carry just like what you see above, as a routine, even on extended driving trips, and do not experience any discomfort at all. In the Summer I'm wearing a standard button-up shirt. No problems. The only time I carry OWB is on the farm, and it's a revolver so it's...

    Talk A Noob Through Concealed Carry 380s

    I carried a LCP in a wallet holster for a while, but it made my thigh sweat. I find a full-frame double-stack 9mm in a IWB Supertuck to be very comfortable. I'm 5'9", 180 lbs. I just don't think worrying about gun size is nearly as imperative as most new-carriers think it is. I carry a S&W...

    My wife wants me to buy a Gator-type thing...

    I'm 58 right now. I ran motocross as a teen, but was only really competitive in deep mud. For some reason I was good at it. Flat Tracking at 58 reveals a fellow very much in shape. I'm honestly impressed. Kudos sir !

    Thank you. I'm a lucky guy. She likes Red.

    My wife wants me to buy a Gator-type thing...

    Well... If I made a mistake, it's too late, with me writing the check today. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present my wife's birthday gift... She takes good care of me, and for her age, she's an in-shape super-babe. This all got started because she wished for a way to get to the barn without...

    My wife wants me to buy a Gator-type thing...

    Guys I appreciate all the input. I honestly don't need anything to do actual work with. I have big trucks and tractors for that. This is for my wife and her 70+ year old parents. It needs to be comfortable, quiet, and civilized. I'd love to keep chainsaws and a toolbox in the back of an old...

    My wife wants me to buy a Gator-type thing...

    @Nature Boy Glad to hear it's quiet. I'm negotiating the deal on a Mule now. My wife will be very happy with her birthday/Christmas present, she's been asking for something like this for about a year now. Anyone got any experience with the factory canvas-top/side-curtains that are available...

    My wife wants me to buy a Gator-type thing...

    Thanks for the responses. I'm taking it all in. Keep them coming please. I've also pretty much already dropped the designation for diesel. Like I said, I'm a noob with these UTV things, and the hunt is mainly because it's my wife that wants one. I've already sent out three requests for...

    My wife wants me to buy a Gator-type thing...

    Thanks for your concern. I've got two 4wd pickups and one jeep that stay on the farm full-time already, along with all the bigger stuff. My wife thinks "we" want what would amount to a 4wd hill-capable golf-cart that can be buttoned-up more-or-less in bad weather. I've seen kids make a huge...

    My wife wants me to buy a Gator-type thing...

    Mods, if there's a better place for this, please move it. Having never owned one, I'm fairly clueless, but I figured I could possibly get some guidance here. 2016 has been a good year on the farm, and I need to spend some money before the tax-man takes half of it. Mrs. wrs840 says she'd like...

    RIP RC Model sad news

    RC Model answered a lot of my bush-league questions over the years with patience and grace. He seemed to me to be truly an exemplary human being. He will certainly be missed.

    Any 9mm handgun with these features available?

    Sounds like the OP is describing a 3rd Gen S&W to me. I personally tend to like 5904s, though they're black-alloy and blued, not stainless. They will accept 17 round MEC-GAR mags. It's got Beretta 92 operation protocols but lighter weight and it is slightly smaller. It carries very...

    Hearing protection?

    Are Howard Leight Impact Sport good enough? I think I have three or four sets. What does the Peltor do better? I've not tried them, but will if they're that much better. :)

    S&W repairs policy and requesting a RMA question...

    Hi Good Folks of THR, I have a S&W Mod 4506-1 that has extractor problems, and I would like to return it to S&W for repair. Is [email protected] the correct email address to use to request a RMA for a return of this nature? I bought this used, but it still looks new. Does S&W still...

    So I want a .30-30

    I'm a Mossberg shotgun fan but the 464 was a disappointment (mine were fairly early production). I used to own two now I own zero. The wood looks like a Daisy BB gun and it feeds unreliably. I still own a current -production Rossi M92 (granted in .38/.357) and it's even more finicky about...
