      SHTF: Phases of unfolding disaster?

      THIS. I think an armageddon style collapse is unlikely in the extreme. Building a self-sufficient lifestyle and being able to provide for yourself and others is the best tactic for any scenario, no matter how extended a time frame. The more valuable you are to yourself, the more valuable you...

      Freeze Dried Foods

      Same here, but I can my own stuff. Chicken, hamburger, cooked beans of all types, etc.. Hardest part is keeping myself out of the stock.

      Need opinions on pocket gun purchase

      Dittos on the P238 in a DeSantis Nemesis. Very small but still very shootable for me. Looks and feels a lot like a mini version of my 1911, with the same manual of arms. The only real drawback I see is with it being SA. Have to carry it condition 1 in your pocket, cocked and locked. Make damn...

      Be careful who you arm.

      Indy Arms at 55th and Keystone (actually on Tacoma, a little east of that intersection on 55th) has a lunch special - $10/hour in the middle of the day. Nice place.

      Current LTCH Wait

      I fingerprinted and completed the same day. Had my permit 12 days after that.

      Shopping for Baby Stuff While OCing...

      Because corporations are people, right? I'm firmly in the camp of CC everywhere. I suspect everyone here knows those GFZs are there because the companies perceive they will make more sales without them on premises. Well, what the customers don't know won't hurt 'em.

      OK, I've seen people saying you can find this for $200 shipped. No luck finding this myself, can anyone help a fellow INGOer out? I saw it at Stout Field for $250, but the guy didn't seem interested in coming down any.

      Recommended Carry Belts

      Horsehide has a closer grain, is stiffer, and tolerates moisture better. It takes longer to conform to a new shape but is overall considered a better material than cowhide.

      Tri-State/Stout Field gun show this weekend, 9/19-20

      I was there today around 9:00. Pretty dead. I bought a IWB holster for my 38 and got to meet the Owner of Indy Arms Co., Rick Cass, and his son. We spoke for a while about his new range and some of his plans for the future. He's pondering on establishing an outdoor range nearby with 1,000 yd...

      Grandpappy's 1911A1 - should I be shooting it?

      Very cool. The UMC I'm firing is 836fps. Should be OK right?

      Looking for a range that a boy scout troop can visit

      :+1: Second this. I did some of my first shooting at Ransburg many years ago. It would be cool to see how it's changed.

      LCP custom or bodyguard for the wife.

      That turned out to be a mistake for me. She picked out a ultralite J frame 38 +P. Me: You remember how you said the 9 had too much recoil (G19)? Her: Yes, but this feels better. Me: This will be snappier. Her: I can hold this one better. Me: OK, Yakky, but you oughta shoot one first. Her: It'll...

      Grandpappy's 1911A1 - should I be shooting it?

      Just left CM's place after he applied some of his lovin' (to the 1911, you pervs). Almost a different pistol now. The slide and trigger are smooth as silk as compared to before. BIG thanks dude. Nice to meet you and get to talk about stuff.

      Which .380 Defensive ammo do you carry?

      I saw the same video not long ago. He had a whole series of videos leading up to this one. Almost made me go for a M&P Bodyguard. If I remember right his conclusion was that the Federal HS round was best. It was one of the few that combined the desired 12-18" penetration and reliable expansion.
