    Kinda set on getting a 9mm comped and optic pistol

    Mid size. Glock 19ish or larger if it’s a good fit. This would be mostly for range use. I’ve carried a G23 for years and in summer weight clothes I carry an itty bitty Kahr pm9.

    Kinda set on getting a 9mm comped and optic pistol

    I’ve tried them and my 67 year old eyes like an optic better than traditional sights.

    Kinda set on getting a 9mm comped and optic pistol

    I’m looking at reviews of the shadow systems MR920P. Not inexpensive even before I buy an optic. Basically a glock 19 clone upgraded with compensator. Also looked at the larger Canik TTI combat. Anything else I should consider at similar price point?

    Interesting detail on Mora sheath - button hanger update

    New to me. I’ve seen that and used the sheath “button” for retention with paracord and I’ve also cut it off. Not sure why I would want to piggyback more than one knife/sheath. On a side note, good choice on the carbon steel. I much prefer it’s edge qualities unless rust is an issue. The new...

    Source for barrels w/ rifle sights?

    A friend called me from Walmart one day. Asked if I needed a rifle sighted slug barrel with choke tube. They had 2 marked $35 each. He got one and I paid him for the other. Things like that just don’t happen to me but this one time.

    Let's talk 40gr & lighter loads in 223

    Agree with Anchorite. I never had any luck with 40s unless I slowed them down. My favorite is 53gr sierra blitz king with H335 or A2230

    Easy cartridge to reload accurate ammo for. Ive used 4350, 3031, and varget. My old M70 does best with 100gr bullets.

    870 upgrades

    I have an early express mag combo and have never had any rust issues. I added sling studs, a better follower, +2 extension and spring, and a big head safety. It gets used a lot as a loaner for HS trap team I coach (without the extension)

    Rust prevention under leather lever wrap??

    I didn’t see anyone mention type of leather. Veg tan vs chrome, etc I would use veg tan leather and treat it thoroughly all sides with something like sno seal or boot wax.

    Good Meat grinder?

    A note on grinder attachment for the kitchenaid mixer. The old kitchenaid mixers had metal gears. For quite a few years they have used plastic except for some of the artisan models. Even if they work for awhile, they aren’t anything like a regular #8 or larger grinder.

    Good Meat grinder?

    LEM You will use it more than you think. And do get the foot switch also, you won’t regret it. I couldn’t even guess how many pounds of meat I’ve run through mine. A couple truckloads, maybe more?

    Self defense options for carry on flying in the USA

    My daughter taught 5 years in Chicago public schools 20 years ago. When they put in metal detectors and security screening, padlocks became the weapon of choice. Either used with shoe strings and swung like bolos or used like brass knuckles with a finger thru the hoop and the lock body in a fist.

    My most sharpened knife. (Serrated knife lovers open at your own risk)

    Triangular file and a round file or dremel can bring that seration back to service grade. I bought a slaughterhouse knife at a gun show for $1. Guy had a bucket full of them- sharpened until only the spine remained. It’s a great pumpkin carving knife. You can pierce the goard and cut tight...

    Who had a reloading mentor and I’m looking for one local

    I had a mentor that became my best friend. He has passed and I have grown older. I would love to mentor a younger reloader but I don’t even know anybody interested. The first time I met my mentor friend is a fond memory. His wife and mine knew each other thru an exercise class. He called me and...

    Actual Self Defense Knife Use

    Good Lord no, never been in a knife fight. I was a bouncer in a couple rough bars over 45 years ago but the only stabbing I witnessed was a jealous girl friend that stabbed her man in the neck with a bic pen. I carry a knife every day but I never want to be anywhere near a knife fight. If...

    I just rounded up an Amazon order with 2 moras. Because you just can’t have too many.
