    Better get the 5-7. Never know when a bear is going to show up in soft body armor.

    Was just on one of the gun forums. And found a nice redhawk. Rebuilt by Bowen to his 475 Linebaugh.

    It is an awesome store. It is like Tractor Supply, with a sporting goods section, camping stuff, furniture, and some groceries. The bad thing is the one nearest me is like 50 minutes away. Their guns for the most part are really cheap. Their ammo on the other hand is mostly high but they are getting better. The other week they had Hornady Critical Defense on sale for $18.99 in all the popular handgun calibers. Sign up to get emails on the RK guns site, they will ship to an FFL dealer. Our RK also sells Stihl.

    I get rural king regular flyers. They go to my junk folder and I rarely look at them. Most sites use your email to daily bombard you! I love Agri Supply. The closest one to me is about 3 hours away but on the way to my main office so I stop by there once a year or so and look around and buy stuff . There like a tractor supply as well but like 6x bigger and actually have real stuff that farmers buy and stuff for real size tractors, like the big ag tires and lots of other stuff. I think there just in the south, and mainly located in large farming areas.

    I never look at their regular emails. Every other Wednesday they put out a new sale flyer in the paper. This week there will be a new on. Agrisupply looks really cool too. I wish we had one of them. I'm not a real big fan of tractor supply. The are putting out more sale flyers trying to compete with RK but the funn thing is TSC is higher on everything in sale flyer.

    They tried to talk me into a Sig 938. I rented one at a local range as well as a Glock 19 (didn't have the 26 I crave). The 938, with its narrower grip aggravated an old thumb injury much more than the Glock. I believe I will stick to the G26, and hope for the best for pocket carry.

    Added, A M&P 2.0 compact to my Smith & Wesson family on black Friday. IMG_20171128_122239666_HDR.jpg

    I've run about 150 rounds through it so far. Smooth shooter, and the trigger is much improved over my gen 1 full size and compact.

    I have heard very good things about the 2.0. Interested to try one and see the difference from my gen 1.

    I wasn't going to spend and money on the whole cyber deals thing but I found a g43 used for $350. Couldn't say no.
    Gonna move my kahr pm9 down the road as I never could get used to the loooooooooong but smooth trigger.

    This will be my deep cover carry fornwhen the others are just too big. Just ordered an aliengear holster, spare mag carrier, and some mags.

    Haven't shot it yet. Maybe this weekend.

    Any other 43 owners here? Seen the new taran tactical +1 +2 and +3 mags yet?

    Don't own one but have shot one. It's a skinnier Glock. If you like Glocks you'll like the 43. If Glocks don't feel right to you like they do for me this one will be no different. Glock makes a great product, but they don't fit my hand right...and point lower than what feels natural to me.

    The 1911 is the answer to hand grip angles. Its been the best selling handgun for over 100 years for a reason.

    I wonder what John Browning would think if he knew the 1911 was still a sought after handgun 100 years later.
