I found when I carried a rifle I set it down lean it against a tree , remake a set and get 20 yards out carrying stuff and was like got to go back for my rifle

pistol comes out of the holster , right back in the holster always there

6 rounds without reloading , reload every time I get back to the truck to be topped off I do carry a dozen rounds in a pocket but usually just reload at the truck

also in my state pistol stays loaded on belt in the truck , rifle must be unloaded every time it goes in the truck


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I've heard this before but have not experienced it myself.

I wonder how many people ever practice with their dispatch guns to see just where they are hitting at a few feet away. I know on mine I need to use about 1/2 the front sight to hit right on the flat area I want it to. I've had others that you needed the whole sight in the back sight and some, just the very tip. Even 2-4' way it'll change. 1" too high or too low can change things a lot.

Heritage rough rider here. 10 years and still doing just fine. And my pocket piece is an American arms cx22. 8 shot 22lr semiauto. It's close to 30 years old.

I use a lcp2 by Ruger. .22LR, it’s just a bit bigger than my phone. Has a pocket clip like a pocket knife. Have mark 2 and 3 also but prefer the little one.
