I just bought a nice fairly substantial wide Dickeys work belt from Northern Tools. It was on sale for $12 or $14. It doesn't seem to stretch much if any. Was planning on getting an Amish Belt (google it or search THR or GRM) when the sale flyer for Northern turned up. I'm just cheap I...

Thanks Glockrunner. I had checked the SC laws several times and I guess I just missed the section on the part on parks and national forests. That stuff is like reading Greek when I have a hard time even understanding english. I had also never noticed the section about the preemption laws...

Sorry, won't make the Shootenfest this year; on the road. Being on the road brings to mind a question that I can't find a definitive answer to. As I am nearly a full-time on-the-road camper all over the country, I carry defense weapons with me at least in the RV where no CCW reciprocation...

I've used ImageShack for a little while now mainly to share my travel pics with friends and family that don't or won't travel. My gun pics are normally as high a resolution as my camera can take. If these are already posted and way too large to post on this or another forum, is there a way to...

This was back in 94 or 95. They were Rainier. Probably purchased from Midway. Ever since, though, I've bought from Berry's. My last order was maybe 6-7 years ago for around 6000-8000 of 9mm, .45, and .40. They are definitely cheaper in bulk and I have no problem with them loading or...

I went to Twin Ponds today and for the most part was by myself. First, I policed the area and cleaned up all the brass pistol cases to assure what I gathered later would be my own. I shot 50 rnds using a two hand stance of reloaded 95 gr plated over 4.9 gr of AA-5. All hit a 12 x 12 target...

The dealer was Doc's Gun Exchange of Florence. No plastic box, just a white paper one. The gun is TCP 738 SS (stainless slide and barrel). It came with two 6 rd mags, two keys (which in all likelyhood will never get used), manual, and a cordura belt style cellphone type holster with a 2...

At the Boggyhead shoot last month, I was looking at everybody's .380's in mouse gun style. Well, at the Ladson gun show last weekend, I finally decided on what I wanted. My trigger finger fits easily into the trigger guard. Got one of the Taurus 738's. Haven't taken it out yet but will one...

I am planning on swinging by tomorrow morning with several handguns. I need to get some practice in with my 9-mm carry weapon. I hope somebody has one of these that I can see how they fit my hand: KT PF-9, 11 & possibly the new Taurus 380 acp. Been thinking about getting a pocket gun. Duncan

Also, mine weighs about 200 lbs.

I think mine is a liberty, but one of the older and low budget ones. Its aprox 26 by 14 or so with essentially no fire rating being that it has no insulation. I cannot see why one would try to protect guns in a house fire, where 10 to 15 guns is of miniscule importance compared to everything...

Hey, I'm not calling any particular person a snob, especially HHB. You are assuredly much more knowledgable on guns than I. Join "The High Road" and search Hi-Point. There are shooters that swear by Hi-Point saying that they are good, accurate and overbuilt and some that think they are crap...

Never have owned one but would if the size was smaller. Some people on The High Road forum bash them pretty hard but some are pleased and have had no problems (and this is typical for all makes). It's obvious that they are made with little regard to looks and finish but I've heard that they...

Thanks Fordnut, did check out EastCoast in Summerville today. His prices were not quite as good as a few of the Pickens/Central area shops but is definitely the best I've seen in the Charleston area, and more economical than driving back upstate. The counter folk were very customer oriented...

This kind of thing bothers me. Upstate last week looking for a NAA Guardian .380, I came upon a couple for $400 NIB but the 'Boss' said wait for the tax free dates. Checked a few online sales sites and found their prices $400 and above. One stated in an e-mail to me that their cost was $388...
