Thanks! Added to my Tivo list

Not helping, j0n... Well, still waiting for my squadron of three permits, so theoretically I can wait until the first week of August for a 938, if I really wanted. And I could re-apply, too. If I really wanted. Or, I could save myself beaucoup bucks and and go for a PF-9 or LC9.

Like the topic title says, anybody hear when Sig P938s will be out in the stores?

I've never had a problem with S&B, but I think I'll go with Federal to support Made in the USA products.

Just set my Tivo. Should be interesting. Hoping it's not biased (against guns) like hoping the sun won't rise tomorrow.

Oh, so very nice! Congrats.

Just throwing out there - the PF-9 is on the top three for my carry gun buy.

I... can see me doing that.

Apathy. The apathy of gun owners to tighter gun controls, more restrictions and less freedom.

Agreed. That's as good an area as any in NJ to do that kind of exercise. Worthington State Park and thereabouts. You can also try Loyalsock State Forest in PA (PA DCNR - Loyalsock)

Okay, so... I need a can of bear spray, a 454 Casull, and a shotgun with bird shot for the snakes. Sound about right? Actually, bear spray and a carry gun (of medium to large caliber) sound like my best bet.

No, I wasn't there. I may look for the issue next time I'm near a magazine stand.

Just came out at SHOT Show this year. Here is their website: http://www.recoilweb.com/ but they say it won't be available until March.

Thanks for all the guidance! I really thought consensus would say a revolver, either a magnum or a Judge/Governor. Plastic-fantastic, though, makes a lot of sense. Now, to wade through the choices.

There's actually a nice "Airpower" shirt at Ranger Up (http://www.rangerup.com/airpower.html). But yeah, Coasties are always forgotten, Airmen are the butt of jokes. (Unless they're talking about AC-130s or A-10s).

That's great Tony! My wife has gone from anti to pro these past couple of years. I need to ween her off .22, though, so she can handle our HD gun. Time, patience and practice. Well done!

We're careful in-camp with our food - use a bear bag hung from a tree branch and clean up thoroughly. However, even on the trail we had a mama bear and two cubs slide down a tree not twenty yards from us. We must have surprised them even though we are FAR from quiet (on purpose). Plus, even if you're careful at the camp it doesn't mean the people there the night before were. Really, I'm not overly concerned about bears. They are usually more scared of you than vice versa. The only animals that have ever attacked me out in the woods were a snake and an eagle. Maybe the Judge is a good idea...

More looking for something that could handle getting wet (we seem to bring the rain with us on our trips) and somewhat knocked around. I don't have a surfeit of handguns - a CBOB, a .22, a P226 (soon), a mouse gun (30 days later)

Like this?: Father-Son Combo 45 & 9mm HI-POINT Pistols sounds perfect. Is Hi-Point any good? I've seen airsoft guns that cost more.

So, my son and I like to camp and the past few years we've been going further into the backcountry. Shenandoah NP, Zion NP, etc. In the states that allow some kind of carry we can carry in the National Parks and some states allow carry in their state parks. Anyway, I'm looking for recommendations for a handgun to take with us when camping. This would be for use primarily against the deadliest threat: other people. But, we've crossed paths with our fair share of bear. In reality, anything would work, but I'd like to hear your opinions. I'd like to keep the price under or close to $500 and it needs stopping power. Yes a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in .454 Casull could work, but not in my budget. What else? Lots of white space below, please fill it. Thanks!

I'll have to take a look. I like that first one. Have you guys seen Ranger Up? Some high-ish prices but they run a lot of specials through their email list.

They're in the strip mall directly behind the old Harrys building. The new Harrys is in the corner of the "L" and Cheyenne (they're gun and archery store) is to Harrys immediate right (facing the stores)

Thanks for the heads up! It'll be three weeks this Monday and I'm already itching, The P226 arrives at the FFL today, and I still can't have it yet! It would be so nice to live in America again someday.
