I have used ham gear years ago and enjoyed it but when I got out on the road I was required to have a CB but I did take it a step further and went side band because you have more channels ( upper and lower ) and has better reach. I and the very few friends I have left do keep walkies on hand and...
It very crowded where we are forced to live at present and I still have high hopes of returning to my home state but thats another story. Its a positive after the first bang someone will call 911 and my wife has her phone all the time with power bank but me thats giving up 2 mags, I always have...
Good guy gets honorable mention, I just hope family does not try to sue because he was a good boy and he mowed lawns for free. I hope he does keep a low profile and media does not publish his address or work place
I have read all the great input and if I may I will present a few things that my wife and I have worked out and for us its based on two old folks that still have that will to survive. First as I have said B4 I was in law enforce with different outfits and I was a squid on a tin can in the 50s...
When I was younger I had some training in what some call shoot houses but I am not as quick now I am old and silver but as the song says "I'm not as good as I use to be BUT I am better than I ever was one more time" I have had some years of martial ans trained hard wit edged weapons and Jo stick...
Yes we have been in the places where water is worth more than gold and we are one of those are and have dealt with what needed to be done. We also keep water on hand for drinking when like some areas have water with very high mineral content.
I seems as I got older I need less and less sleep, could be from the pain I deal with most of the time and sometimes its my dual Defibrillator resetting. One night a couple of summers ago I was walking the house and went to the dinning room where the window faces the backyard fence and I watch...
Sometimes the situation demands action or there is no backup and I have dealt with those things. My house caught on fire and it was unknown if my step kids were still inside, and there was a couple times backup was more than 3hrs out and a woman and child were being abused and BG did not know I...
Right you are and they changed to PT100 and PT101 which was part of the agreement of the sale. The Raging Bull that I shot did damn good but its a little harder to hide.
I have shot a lot of the Taurus models and the only one that ever had problems was the mistake they made the released the 24/7 model and that was a fubar. The one I liked best was when the bought the old Baretta 92 plans and I bought the PT 101 which was excellent and if it had not been for hard...
Glad that your problem was solved and IMO Springfield has always had good customer service. I will make a suggestion and in doing so I will more than likely step in it. I have shot 45acp over a lot of years and to date I still shoot the original load which is a 200gr bullet and the results have...
I still use my old hand loader with 2 sets of dies, 41 mag and 45acp, I still like and load or buy 200gr bullets for the 45 like original loads.and 210gr SWCHP for the 41 short barrel, they work best for me and get the job done.
Back in the 60s my family ate a lot of squirrel along with fish caught from the river near river, at the time I was making a $1 per hour. House rent was $65 a month and had baby one year old and now things are just as tight if not tighter and don't forget pigeons and no one misses them.
This will be my last reply but I will monitor and read some of the great info that is available here. Now my answer to amount of mags I keep on hand are as follows, compacts-3 extras which totals 5 each, 5 plus one for single stack and 10 for double stack and I do keep extra springs on hand for...
I had a Star 9mm same type of problem and a old gunsmith gave me a piece of crocus cloth and said polish your ramp with this and after 100rds and some sore fingers it fed perfect, sometimes a little fluff and buff does wonders.
