For deep concealment, I don't carry a reload. I will just have to live with having the 7+1 I have on hand. For my other carry, I am not as determined as I once was to carry a spare. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Full service size firearm with 15+1, light and optic. The spare is 17 round...

I liked my service issue M9. It was accurate enough. Didn't fit my hand great but when you have to have a one size fits all pistol for everyone, choice doesn't matter. I still have my holsters and magazines that I bought separately for it and would like to have one in my safe. Even just for...

The 2A (like the free states) hasn't existed in NY in decades. Mostly due to NYC. Big part of the reason I left and will never move back there. Colin is slow to the realization.

I picked my first hunting rifle because it was a cartridge that has been around for over a hundred years. 35 Remington. And now, it is impossible to find ammo or components for. It makes me leery of investing in a new cartridge like 6.5 Creedmore, because no one knows how long anything is going...

Whatever I take off my belt that day. I don't see the need for a dedicated night stand gun.

Only firearm I have bought twice was a NAA mini revolver in .22Mag. For the now ex-missus. The first one got sold to help pay bills when money was tight. The second one got sold because we are now divorced. If I buy it a third time, it will be a Sidewinder model.

Technology is too easily abused at the moment. So it is a pass from me. If a firearm is not on me it is in a locked container of some sort. Either bedside or in a safe. If I start losing them between those three places, I would rather give up firearms altogether than need a tether app to them.

I will be shopping for a new recoil pad for my bubba'd M1917 Einfield. The one that was put on when sporterized has hardened and feels more like the old metal butt plates. I am leaning toward a bolt on, grind to fit option. The slip on Limbsaver I put on my Mav88 looks cheap and sloppy.

My favorite brand of holsters is unfortunately out of business. They made kydex/leather hybrid holsters. Large piece of leather with a kydex shell on the front for whatever firearm it is. Made changing firearms very easy. And with the same piece of leather, very little break in period with a new...

Walther Q4 Tactical with a Holosun 507C and Streamlight TLR-7 when I carry on my waist. Walther PPS with Viridian C5L when in my pocket. When I get a Micro Dagger it will be like my Walther big brother and little brother. With the same accessories.

Personal preference but I prefer my weapon lights to be behind the muzzle on both rifles and handguns. Having a light past the muzzle isn't a huge concern. Make sure it is clean and batteries are fresh now and then. Exact same considerations I would recommend as behind the muzzle lights.

Depends solely on environment. For self defense optics I like green. Why? Because green is nicer to my astigmatism and most people don't wear green clothing. For hunting I like red illuminated optics because it contrasts better against green or brown foliage.

Something about fools, money, and easily departed. That being said, I did sell a handful of Beretta 92 magazines for more than retail because they were marked "Military/LE use only" on the side.

Unless the 9mm Uzi is a pre-bans rarity worth a lot. The 45-70 is a better choice. I would take a rifle caliber in a rifle over a pistol caliber in a real machine gun any day of the week.

I have ONE acre of property that the county sheriffs have said I can build a range on as long as I have proper backstops and R/L limits. Haven't done so yet as I feel this is below the bare minimum needed. But, next door is an 800 acre hunting preserve I can go on at any time.

At times, all of the above. I place myself right between "need" and "utility." I have all the basics covered when it comes to self/home defense and hunting. With very little emphasis on the hunting, as I haven't participated in a white tail season in many years. My last two purchases were...

I was just speaking to a coworker about this the other night. The specific example was I bought my Marlin 336 20 years ago for 300 because I couldn't afford a Henry. Now Marlins are more expensive than Henry and I can sell my old Marlin for the price of either. What a weird time to be into firearms.

I'll take any firearm for self or home defense before anything else. Even an air rifle. But I will take the best I can legally and financially afford. As laws become more restrictive, your selection does too. When the SAFE act passed, my grandfather sold all his firearms (three heirloom quality...

Rand HAWG grease. 1oz tube has lasted me quite a few years at this point. It is dark red so you know when it is staying around where you put it, because you can still see it when you take the firearm apart. I use this grease to lube up all the major contact points of a handgun when I use it as a...

Only two firearms I consider true safe queens. One handgun isn't worth much but holds a lot of sentimental value. Have only fired 50 rounds through it. The other holds sentimental and monetary value. Insurance values it at 5K and no ammo has gone through it. Ironically enough, it isn't in my...
