    What's your preferred every day carry?

    G27 with a G23 mag and X-Grip... A 3.8" 10mm XD-m Elite is taken along if i have to pass through Dem. controlled (high crime) areas.

    How Much Land to Shoot On?

    Very hilly here, but have a clear shot at 265 yds (with a drop of approx. 15 ft). Could go 300 yds if i clear some trees but 265 is plenty for me. A 25 yd handgun range is just outside the back door, and from that same point i can shoot 180 yds in a different direction. A 50 yd range is behind...

    Mystery "no drill" scope mount Id?

    That fits the older style mini (the one i had was a 182 series). edit to add...here's a mounted blue version. The Philips screw came with the mount.

    Is it sacrilegious to bubba an early model Winchester 12?

    Over 2 million Model 12s were made, and many people have cloned a Trench Gun. If you do it be sure to cut the barrel straight. Some clown at a gun show who tried to sell his Bubba work used a hacksaw to cut the barrel. The cut was crooked, the saw marks were obvious, and he didn't even bother...

    I think our gun rights are about to come under heavy attack.

    Nothing wrong with being concerned about the actions of violent lawless thugs being used to disarm you (which they are), but the violence is much worse in Chicago, and very few gun owners in Illinois have caved to Pritzker's "assault weapon" (overused term that the anti-2nd clowns use to scare...

    10mm or .45 ACP?

    10...again. I'd like to get a 6" 610, or a 6 1/2" Ruger Redhawk. Excellent choice! I have a 4" 610-2 that is used for woods carry and reload testing, but would prefer a 6" barrel. The 610 can handle the really hot stuff. The semi-autos get nothing but neutered factory ammo.

    RUGER SINGLE SIX COLORADO CENTENNIAL 22LR/22MAG SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER

    Ruger is commemorating the wrong state. They should stick to non-commie states. 😁 I foolishly sold my stainless Single Six convertible 3 years ago to a guy who has yet to shoot it. :confused:

    What to do when you can't find a holster you like (make one)

    Nice job. Is that a pager on the other side? 😁 Nice job on yours as well. Yes Kydex is very easy to work with, and not expensive. Handy stuff. I've used it to replace the old car's pitted console cover because the Kydex texture perfectly matches the dash

    Do you carry a handgun in and around the house?

    No in-house carry since moving out of thug infested Ill-Annoy, but i do keep 2 handguns and shotgun ready in the house. I regularly carry on the property because of bobcats and whatever else might show up.

    Your 'Rodney Dangerfield' guns.

    My butt ugly Hi Point 10mm carbine. I've had zero FTFs, or other issues with it. Too bad the mags are only 10 rounds. Bought the 9mm camo version too but have yet to shoot it.

    Wanting something for squirrel control besides a 22 and need opinions.

    Nice!! Watching your Maltese catch its prey must be an awesome sight. Last time i dispatched a grey squirrel raiding the bird feeders (used the RWS Model 48 mentioned before) I tossed it out in an open area and within 10 minutes it was gone. I didn't see what took it, but i did see a bald eagle...
