    I almost had an "Incident"

    I've always been leery of leaving guns anywhere I'm not (well hidden or not) for that specific reason; I'd hate to arm a BG if I'm in another room or away from the house. My normal routine consists of belting on my 1911 first thing in the AM and normally it doesn't come off until I go to bed. I...

    I almost had an "Incident"

    I used to have a Maverick 88 18" that I carried in the truck, didn't care if it got scratched up, but ended up giving it to my FIL a while back. Since I started traveling more/leaving my truck in airport parking, I keep it cleaned out. May look at a PAP or a WASR to toss back in eventually

    I almost had an "Incident"

    I think you are spot on, all the signs were apparently there, had it been me I would have certainly had my hand on my gun as well - depending on his distance and how quickly he was closing distance, I might have pulled and been at low ready, but hard to say (at the very least, I would have...

    Mossberg 930 SPX - A working review

    Naw, not going the mall-ninja-bandolier route :nono: From the reviews I've read on cycling issues, it seems to come down to not over-tightening and letting the Locktite do it's job; but there is no specific ft/lbs torque value listed in the instructions (I have also emailed GG&G to see if they...

    BOOTS

    Funny you mention that, I recently took on a new position with my company dealing strictly with Safety, I'm in the midst of updating the current company manuals and reviewing one such area with the legal dept specific to "Safety shoes". My previous company was recently acquired by a new...

    Mossberg 930 SPX - A working review

    Certainly a potential option; Not too worried about heat as this will likely reside bed-side for HD once fully tested - I do wonder about fitment though .... the 930 SPX has an odd stock curvature. In any event, it's not like I really need to carry around another 6 shells on top of the 7 + 1...

    BOOTS

    Same here, after 19 years working on flight-lines (concrete and perforated steel eats soles like there is no tomorrow), I've been through the boot gamut several times over. In the past couple of years, I find myself coming back to Timberland's pro series, specifically their "Endurance" steel...

    Mossberg 930 SPX - A working review

    Honestly, I didn't even research stock-type shell holders due to experiences I had in the past with the elastic type losing retention capabilities; after about a year of use & recoil, they seemed to droop/hang a bit. Maybe I had a bad one :noidea: I had a receiver-mounted saddle similar to...

    My First Battle Rifle

    I never had a chance to stretch mine out beyond 100, but same for me using Gold Medal Match (didn't do too bad with Federal Eagle either) - the threaded barrel is certainly a plus, but for me, without wanting it for can purposes, the brake on it was a nice plus.

    My First Battle Rifle

    I've been trying out a lot of scopes lately; I've always been a fan of Millet, but have been hearing good things about Vortex and SWFA glass

    My First Battle Rifle

    I picked up mine on another local trading site, already had the 20 moa Ken Farrell base - traded it off for a Sig 1911 package .... Was an awesome rifle, but just not practical for my uses, but now you have me reliving my stupid decisions :classicsick:

    by the way, how's the eye-relief on that Vortex?

    My First Battle Rifle

    Nice, I keep trying to talk myself into getting back into a .308 semi-auto. I had a nice .308 bolt, Savage FCP-K, which I regret to this day for trading, but I have the M1 Garand taking it's place at the moment ... so kinda have the high-powered battle rifle segment covered for now. I don't...

    Mossberg 930 SPX - A working review

    So I needed to add a 12ga back into the collection after trading out the last couple I had, after much internal debate between the Mossberg 930 & Benelli offerings, I decided to go with the 930 SPX. After trying to source locally with no success, I came across this particular one on Vance...
