302w

I currently carry a 9mm Shield. I like it, it suits my needs and I don't need a new gun. Someone I know carries a Colt Pocket Hammerless 380 (you know who you are). I think it's cool and classy as hell to carry such an offbeat handgun. I'm looking for something noticeably smaller than my Shield, and out of the ordinary. No mini plastic guns. Something fun to shoot and good to carry. Preferably cheap and has to have an advantage to my S&W. I considered a Mustang Pocketlite. Somewhat common but too expensive. The Sig clone is off the list because I have a personal grudge against Sig. A Tokarev made it high on my list but it's too big and supposedly unsafe. Maks seem chunky but I'll try my dad's. No wheelies.

My belt squeals when it is cold. I spray it with PB blast because I don't care.

I frequently touch my gun while carrying and often tug my shirt if I'm being lazy about carrying.

Your friend could go to most any range and shoot a friend's firearm. I'm entirely unsure of it's legality so YMMV.

My original inspiration.

Guns are fun. Variety is the spice of life. I own an AR15 I assembled and a Russian SKS made in 1953. Best of both worlds. (I want to build an AK47 from Home Depot sheet metal and a parts kit.)

I wouldn't say it is a Jeep thing, but a crappy Chrysler QC thing. They never got their act together after Iacocca. It doesn't help that Jeeps are very popular to lift. Every brand has it's issues though. Ford 6.0 head studs, Toyota frames falling in half (and/or not stopping), GM keys falling out, Subarus burning equal parts oil and gasoline, etc.

I carry a Shield because I feel I'm more likely to carry if it is easier. I can pull off a pancake holster with only a t shirt if I am lazy.

Well... Uhm... Thanks guys. If my old neighbor wasn't cool, I would never have known about it.

Strangely my old neighbor called and said I or my dad got a notice for jury duty in the mail. Him and I have the same first name so I don't know who it is for. He moved out to PA two years ago, I moved to a different county the same time and moved to PA six months ago. Are we off the hook? How do I tell the court that? It is petit jury duty out of Morristown

I'm probably younger than both of you LOL.

Your 625 is absolutely fine with it's MIM parts. I dislike the firing pin not that it makes any difference, but the Hillary hole and garbage bluing on new guns is nonsense. I know yours is stainless but a new M14 will have it's bluing removed by hoppes.

MIM sucks because people associate them with a cheaper made product. S&W being a prime example, their older revolvers are of a nicer fit and finish than their newer MIM products. The nicer gun doesn't have MIM parts so MIM must be garbage. Often the MIM part is adequate enough but is packaged with cheaper processes as well as part of an overall cost saving strategy. Also the world wouldn't end if 870Ps had MIM extractors like the cheap line but forged is a selling point. If Remington didn't advertise the forged bits in 870Ps then nobody would fret about the MIM bits in their express. I thought MIM was some powdered metal garbage but I was surprised at it's qualities when learning about it in college. That being said I don't like the new S&W revolvers.

Today took me a half day but I really didn't work that hard. I have a big Toro snowblower. My drive is 70 miles each way and my company wouldn't tell me to stay home even if we got hit with an EMP so I'll burn a sick day if I need to.

16" by the DWG. Half a days worth of work.

I might gear up in my M65 pants and walk my dog for the fun of it soon. I tried having him drag me on a sled but it didn't work.

I'd pay 1k. Most forums have people saying "but you can buy a new 1911 at that price!". I don't care. It is my only decent chance at getting a real, unmolested USGI 1911 at an acceptable price. That's IF the Army releases them.

I tried this last night. Looks like grip tape.

I really, really, really want to stipple my Shield but I don't want to screw it up. Even if I practiced with Pmags and airsoft guns I'd still be too afraid.

Can you carry a firearm in a restaurant that makes 52% of it's revenue from alcohol?

Your Mini 14 will be fine on cheap Russian ammo. Tula is typically dirtier, smellier, and of slightly less power. I have used it in an SKS, Makarov, AR15, and M1 Carbine. The only thing that one can fault Russian ammunition for is the bimetal bullet jacket has more barrel erosion. Keep to copper FMJ if you are shooting 10000+ rounds in rapid-fire.

Lever action 357?

I was wondering this myself.

I make a DWG to Hudson County trip daily. 80 to 280 at 5:00 AM. The most annoying thing for me is highbeams. I'd love to wire in driving lights on my roof rack in both directions to flash people.

Vader is Luke's father. Episode 7 was good but very predictable. It was weak, decent to watch, but doesn't have much of a legacy feel to it
