    Thought of a theoretical/fantasy pistol cartridge

    No, 356 TSW runs 50,000psi. Necking down to .30 would generate way, way more power, penetration and range than the old 7.65x21 @ 28,000 psi could manage. The closest thing would be the rather bonkers 7.5 FK which generates as much muzzle energy as a hot .41 Magnum load. I think that is probably...

    Thought of a theoretical/fantasy pistol cartridge

    The 9x21 IMI merely duplicates 9x19 as it operates at the same pressure and existed solely for use in jurisdictions that prohibit civilian use of so-called military calibers. 356 TSW is essentially 9mm Super with stronger brass that is thicker particularly in the case web area. It operates at...

    Thought of a theoretical/fantasy pistol cartridge

    Help me think of a better name for it- 7.62x21. Basically a 356 TSW case necked down to .30. When the 7.5 FK cartridge was released I thought it was an interesting round but probably not practical for general use. Probably too punchy for military uses in sidearms or subguns/PDWs. I thought...

    Also I miss our forner forum jester who pronounced "USP" as "Uhsp". He was funny. Also apparently up to no good on here hence his banishment.

    Build: Girsan Witness 2311 Brat

    I'd its a shits and giggles gun, or even a serious gun for any use outside of a CCW role the full size USP in .45 has the "it" factor for me. Especially in NY with a 10 round limit. 10 rounds of .45 Super is serious firepower and a lot of spectacle creating fun on the range. On the other...

    Build: Girsan Witness 2311 Brat

    I myself have a USP on the list. Girsan........eh, I don't do Turkish stuff. However on the USP- that pistol is a large, heavy and beefy design that is total overkill for 9mm. It's wat to l big and heavy compared to mainline 9mm options for no improvement in performance or capability. I think...

    Something similar happened to me once too. I was set up for perch and other pan fish but hooked a monster Pike. No net, didn't have my long nose pliers or any such thing. And just like here everytime I got it to the bank it flopped around like hell. In my case it spit the hook before I could...

    Do they have any idea what happens if Trump gets assassinated? Do they realize that people wouldn't take that lying down? The country would immediately descend into violent chaos.

    They have NO ONE. The wilfully refuse to understand that what plays for them in far left urban centers simply does not sot well with the rest of the nation. The democrat party will continue to lose until the jettison the far left and move back towards a more moderate stance.

    New holster for my M&P

    Difference between Sheetz and Rutters is the latter uses deli quality meat in their wraps/sandwiches while the former is more like Oscar Meyer quality. Rutters also has more toppings and fixing like mushroom which I appreciate since I love mushroom. I can't go to WAWA, none of them have truck...

    New holster for my M&P

    I have a Ragnarok for my G19, great holster for range/comp/training. I will be getting one for my Carry Comp too with the full on offset drop down and leg strap. And I find the Carry Comp conceals very well in the Rator under just an untucked camp shirt. I am carrying thus at work at the very...

    New holster for my M&P

    It's functional. Highly recommend it. I've noticed that T-Rex is fast in supporting new guns and gear. They are just one of a few that offer holsters cut specially for tile M&P Carry Comp and again one of just a few that accommodate the Streamlight TLR7 HL-X light which is the best compact...

    New holster for my M&P

    For IWB carry I'd favor a compact, subconlact/microcompact over a duty sized gun. I find the compact models to be the ideal size anyway. I still say in NY the Glock 48 is an ideal carry gun.

    New holster for my M&P

    I originally got the Ironside because I thought the Raptor was intended for appendix carry however while it can be carried in that fashion T-Rex states that the Raptor is intended primarily for strong side carry. I have carried an M&P Compact in this holster now and found it to work very well...

    Going to have an AR built, need optic options…

    I have a DDM4 V7. Excellent rifle but no way I'd pay what Daniel Defense is asking for them now. They are asking high end boutique rfle prices for basic AR features. It's hard to say with inflation what money is worth anymore but when I boought mine in 2017 for $1,300 I think it was worth it...

    Extra mag when carrying?

    It's not optimism, its realism. Defensive shoots happen over a period of seconds and reloads are exceptionally rare. In the real world 10 rounds is more than adequate. It is better to be able to carry more in tge same space of course. My 15 round magazines is no bigger than an NY 10 rounder...

    Extra mag when carrying?

    Well, I am a 2A absolutist and thus find any and all firearms restrictions abominable. That said the likelihood of needing more than 10 rounds in a defensive shooting is also vanishingly thin. Actually I belive that 10 rounds is the breakpoint. For many years, until recently, my CCW was an...

    I suppose that could work in urban environments. In rural environments carrying a pack of that type and in that fashion would look odd and out of place.

    Extra mag when carrying?

    IWB mag carries/pouches become painfully uncomfortable for me after a few hours, vertical OWB punches also poke and prod me uncomfortably as well when sitting and are less concealable as well. The horizontal method is for more comfortable and is less likely to be exposed when stretching and...

    Extra mag when carrying?

    Thought I'd update with a mag carry method that has been working well for me. Horizontal OWB carrier I got off Amazon from some rando brand. I'll loom them up though to give a name because it has worked quite well for me. It conceals well being online with tge belt which also means it is...

    New holster for my M&P

    Not that anyone seems to care but after 2 days of carry the new holster has accomplished what I needed it too: It does take up significantly less belt space, is more secure on the belt and does not shift around. I also find that ot conceals the gun extremely well, even bending over there is...

    I should also note that tge backer has additional utility beyond just comfort. On either holster it grips firmly aginst the body, there is no way the holster would pull out during the draw. Even of the clips weren't there I think tge holster would stat put, under the draw anyway. Walking...

    Another IWB from T-Rex Arms which is becoming my go-to holster maker.

    Sold mine to fund an M&P which I am very pleased with. I'm carrying it this very moment in fact. On that note in retrospect I think it was a good thing my fullsize P320 was too large for me to ever consider carrying lest I had a 9mm hole bored through my leg.
