I run a Bushnell 1-4x24 on my AR. I like it, but I would like one with long-range optics, and one with irons or a red dot too. Hmmmm. I can see where this is headed.

Should be in the shotgun forum...but Iowa is shotgun only for deer. So this is my son's deer rifle. We call it Frankengun. We build it for 1 weekend of hunting. It starts with one of my old 870 express 12 ga. receivers, then add a 24" Mossberg rifled, ported, cantilevered slug barrel (for...

Looks like a good holster. For all-day comfort, I like a hybrid with the horsehide backer. But kydex is awesome for its retention capabilities. This winter I plan to buy some kydex and experiment with making a few owb range holsters on the cheap. It doesn't look too hard to do and I'll get...

Good job on the fix Nano. I don't hesitate to tweak something that is wrong on a gun.....if it's a replaceable part like that. Just make sure you've tested it enough to rely on it. I bought an XD9sc a while back for carry and it shoots extremely well even with the 3" barrel. Kinda homely like a...

I'm going to give up on trying to post pics......frustrating

Here's mine and a case I made for it from a re-purposed violin case..

sheesh.....I'll try again later....

My LCP.....started as a blued slide, but iwb holster + sweat = rust. So I cleaned it up, and sprayed it with stainless steel pigmented paint. The holster wear areas are smooth and don't rust anymore because I switched to ankle carry. All is good. It doesn't have to be pretty.....just reliable...

I assembled an AR last year from a PSA kit and a stripped lower for about $450 before optics. I have a couple more stripped lowers in the safe, so as soon as I can I'll be doing another. It's fun and easy to put one together, and I saved a couple hundred over the same rifle assembled from PSA...

Dang it, I'm hungry now........

Rich, I found some CCI mini mag hollowpoints at walmart today too. $7.47/100 rounds. Limit 1 box yet though. I've got a ton of .22's, so not a concern. While I was there, I picked up a 100rnd box of trap loads and some 9mm.

lws380, I like options too! Various size carry choices to fit the day. The xd9 subcompact has 13+1 which is the way I carry it, but with the extended mag--16+1 is nice at the range. But a .45acp........ I'll have to handle one of each, the single and the double stack. Thanks for the comparison.

I carry my XD9sc IWB on weekends quite a bit, and agree that it conceals quite well with a t-shirt untucked. That's what I have on now, as the ankle that sports my LCP on workdays, has a big ice bag on it right now. Not a great way to start the week.... lws380--If I can carry the xd9 double...

LC9 in the waistband (DeSantis softuck).

Wow Rich, that is a beaut! Looks like it's a handfull. I'd like to shoot that. I do like the feel of .45acp in a 1911 though.

My gun budget is kinda flat, but I feel the need for a .45acp. Or build my second AR. Or a nicer trap gun. Or.........

Working on equipment in the shop, so it's my Springfield xd9 subcompact iwb.

Thanks guys. It was a fun project for $80. I still plan to bring her back to a blued finish, the barrel exterior is not pitted too bad, and the receiver can be brought back to a nice finish I believe. The internals are all excellent as is the bore and the action is buttery smooth.

Okay.....that finally worked.....wasn't the pic I wanted but so be it. Rich, I didn't re-blue it, because it was rusted and scratched pretty deep. I can remove this finish at some time and do the full restoration. Besides, it was made the year my wife was born. Soooo, I intend to do it justice...
