    Fuente 8-5-8 was my go-to when I smoked regularly.

    When J&R was in their heyday I REALLY liked their El Rey del Mundo line.  They had a bigger pyramid (Flor de la Lenza?) that I couldn't resist.  They also had a paper wrapped Robusto that was fantastic.

    I haven't smoked a cigar in 10 years or so, but if Rey del Mundo are still around I'd probably grab them.

    As always I'd never pass up a Cuban if offered...

    When we would drive down to NC we always went 12 miles out of our way and stopped at J&R in Selma, grabbed some cigars and some aftershave that they carried, the stores there were fun to browse. Once it was sold they closed the store no more nick nacks, just a small cigar store on the very end.

    I’m sure a few here are cigar smokers, what is your go to cigar?

    Mostly Romeo & Juliet for me, I enjoy an Acid blondie every now and then, League of extraordinary men is yummy also, Arturo Fuente is another I enjoy.

    Had a connection for Cubans, have a few Esplendidos left, save those for golf with the boy’s.

    I ordered 2 of them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I have been e-mailing Walther for a year pushing to get 10 rounders. Only 2 left in stock after my order.

    Got in under the bell.

    All are out of stock, was great while it lasted.

    Was looking for a 15-22 charging handle, then clicked on new arrivals just to see what was out there, glad I did.

    Do the Walther PPQ/PDP magazines fit and function in the CAI Canik TP9/Mete? It's been about a year since I've been able to find standard capacity mags for them. 

    I can’t answer that, don’t own a Canik. 
     

    Hit the range this morning with my 3 mags and they all function perfectly in the Walther pdp. 
    Grab them while you can.

    What's your suggested optic and mount combo? Is under 400 a decent amount?

    I have two of these.

    https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx-rotary-knob-25mm-microdot-with-2-moa-dot-reticle

    For the money it’s hard to beat, one is on the wife’s 9mm bullpup, had the second on my Ar, then went with a vortex scope, not because I wasn’t happy, just wanted magnification. If I remember correctly it came with a mount and spacers, don’t quote me on that though. The second is on the wife’s 15-22 now but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another if I needed one. The glass is really nice, both have never lost zero.

    Radian has blems on sale…..

    I saw that, it doesn't list it as for the M&P 15-22, also the M&P 15-22 charging handle isn't listed on their web page.

    I sent an email to inquire if the charging handle would be in stock, never got a response back, been a few weeks now.

    Andy, I just built one myself this week, haven’t tried it yet, but seems sturdy.

    3 10’ lengths of 1” conduit from Home Depot all cut in half.

    bought 2 of these from McMaster Carr https://www.mcmaster.com/4936T179 if the set screws don’t hold well I was going to drill the pipe and use shear pins, we’ll see. I had to ream out the fittings a bit so the pipe slid on easily, dremel took care of that.

    Bought these hooks from Amazon, High Caliber Targets Est. 2012 V Shape Hooks, few reviews I read, people complained about the target popping off the half hooks. 

    Once set up the targets hang about 30” off the ground.

    I use Larue’s 2 stage trigger in mine with the standard 4.5 pound spring. Works perfect. Never had any issues with light strikes or resets. You will want to use trigger pins from a Colt 901 as the 15-22 receiver is slightly thicker than a standard ar receiver. 

    The Larue 2 stage trigger arrived Thursday, installed Saturday, took it to the range today. Ran 200 rounds not a single hiccup with 3 different brands of ammo, grouping’s tightened up to 1 moa. The wife shot 150 of those rounds, even got a thank you from her.

    The new trigger totally transformed the shooting experience with the rifle to a, pleasure to shoot.

    At $100 it is exactly what I was looking for, installation took a few minutes.

    Thanks for the recommendation SRT392.

    Yeah, thats crazy I would never spend that much on SD handgun 

    As for Polymer handguns they're not that light when you've got 17-18 rounds on board (11rds. in N.J.) and thats what you want in a primary HD handgun high capacity.

    I was all set to buy a Glock until I picked one up, didn't care for the grip angle and texture at all.

    Went with S&W instead.

    Spend what you can and feel comfortable with, compact and subcompact polymer hand guns take some training and time invested to shoot with confidence. My two HD hand guns are, a full size Walther PDP with a light and Leopold Delta Point Pro mounted, that is in the bedroom, in the living room is a Colt 1911, both in the $1400-$1600 range, my wife and I shoot both well and manipulate them well. 
     

    Try to rent what you think you want to buy, it can save you money and disappointment later if you buy a gun before trying it to find out you don’t shoot it well and hate the feeling of it when shooting.

    There are LOTS of different opinions on what it's best to start with.  Are you going to be a recreational shooter who makes frequent range trips?  Will the wife be shooting with you?  Will the gun(s) just sit in the safe "just in case"?, etc, etc, etc, etc.

    If I was going to stick with just two pistols and I was not recreational shooting, FOR ME it would probably be my 9mm semi-auto (Glock) and my 38 special/357 revolver (S&W 686).

    If recreational shooting was a consideration i'd say maybe go with a .22lr pistol (Ruger Mark IV) and the 9mm.  The expectation is that a recreational shooter will be putting a lot more rounds downrange, so you'll be buying more ammo, so .22lr and 9mm are cheaper.  You'd also be doing your own cleaning, so reliability wouldn't be an issue.

    Some great advise right here. 

    Smaller polymer hand guns take a bit more practice to shoot effectively due to their size and weight, there will be more kick since the weight is lighter. A larger steel hand gun with a larger sight radius will shoot easier since it has some heft to it.

    I told my brother-in-law this when he got his FID and PTP, if you are going to shoot the handgun once every other year and leave it in a safe, buy a Glock.

    Stock pins and trigger.

    B16E7C96-E5C2-4F5F-BB90-2C587C1C57B6.jpeg

    Geissele 901 pins and Larue trigger. I also highly recommend Radian Talon selectors while your in there. 

    C73C2672-6F60-486E-AAEF-59A8CBA36AE7.jpeg

    Ordered the pins and Larue trigger, the trigger had no bad reviews. The rifle is a great little gun! Except for that awful trigger, the wife likes my Wilson trigger so she should be very happy with this upgrade. And all in for $120 I’m happy. Thanks
