If all you have is a hammer every problem is a nail. Possible options for a rogue donkey: air horn, bear spray, M80s, stock canes (1-1/18” by 42” crook neck cane), strobe light.

I like the Vedder Pocket Locker for my LCP. It fits nicely in my left thigh cargo pocket.

I’ve removed military crimp by hand with a modified file, by hand with a Lyman reamer, and a RCBS swage. The swager is by far the the easiest.

I have a K98 and suggest the original firing pin may have been dropped, the new pin should work fine. Misfires on military ammo (with hard primers) suggest you make sure the inside of the bolt is clean and lightly lubed. If it is, replace the firing pin spring. Does it fire commercial ammo ok...

I shoot 3.5” MagBlends, my Mossberg 835 will throw a killing pattern at 60 yard. If I can get 5-10 yards more with this new load I’m on board.

I want one!

My Remington Model 17 (the forerunner of the Ithaca 37) is so smooth that if you rack the slide to cock the hammer and point the barrel straight up and hit the bolt release the bolt will slide completely out of battery. I‘ve never seen another pump gun accomplish this.

Combat/self defense shooting is much like wing shooting, you never look at the bead or sights, you look at the target (center mass) and shoot. You practice until you can look at the target, draw, and hit it. Not easy but essential. Low light or CQC, can cause you to try to find the sights and...

Better shotguns IMHO are: Win model 12, Remington model 17, Remington 870, Browning BPS. I’m happy for your purchase, it’s a fine shotgun, but several are as good or better.

Barrel length matters little, patterns matter greatly. I patterned my Mossberg turkey gun with at least 30 turkey loads until I found the perfect combination ( Pure Gold turkey choke with Mag Blends). Lots of work but worth it.

It’s definitely an assault rifle, in 1880.

If your only concern is an aggressive/malevolent human carry the lightest center fire you deem adequate. I’d opt for a J frame or an LCP type. 98% of the time it will be not needed. Check all local, state, and federal regs about firearms before you go. BTW a camp hatchet or a good sized fixed...

Back pocket carry is great if you never sit down. I carry my LCP in hot weather either 4 o’clock IWB, or in a sticky pocket holster in my cargo shorts thigh pocket.

16 ga was an excellent all around choice until the 20 ga 3” magnum emerged. The steel shot mandate killed it. My hunting buddy had a 16 ga 870 hand me down and used it on everything from squirrels to deer. My 870 special field 20 ga did everything the 16 ga did but weighed much less.

Bolt actions were on the verge of obsolescence prior to WW II, cost of conversion and concerns of excess ammo usage lead to the decision to sacrifice soldiers to save money (funds which may or may not have been available).

The legacy of the Great War was that all major combatants stockpiled state of the art battle rifles, bolt actions. All major countries engages in WW II had between 2 and 8 million bolt action rifles in their armories. In 1945 all of these became obsolete. 45 MILLION rifles were deemed obsolete...

Idea tried 70 years ago, after the war (WWII) there were rail cars of surplus .30-06 ball ammo priced to sell. It was quickly apparent that fmj was a poor choice for big game, many well hit animals lost. Most states dnrs banned fmj.

Sophisticated burglary gangs coming from South America have Wi-Fi jammers, data on wealthy targets, and no fear of the courts. I’m glad my 75 pound Husky mix can’t be “jammed”, neither does my AR.

Getting back to the original post, the answer to his question is maybe none of the above. The 350 legend would IMHO will fill his needs nicely. If you have an AR it’s only a barrel change and a magazine ($120 maximum).

I’ve got 3 older knives in AUS-8. I like it. It takes a keen edge, is tough enough, and is easy to sharpen.
