Check out the CS tactical in officer sizegreener wrote:Looked at the RIA Commander yesterday. Like it for a carry, but I've got the 442, TC738 and LC9. I may be set.
RIA's commander (MS or mid size) is nice, but only comes in the GI setup. Their Officer (CS or compact size) runs just as reliably and comes with better sights for a modest increase in price.

senior citizens played with guns yesterday
Two old men and one old dog were seen at the range yesterday shooting guns and the bull, with the help on one old faithful guard dog. All had a good time to bad little Greener could not make it , but someone has to work.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.


that would have been a good time... instead I got to sink and refloat a ford Festiva, it was a beautiful day to go diving.Two old men and one old dog were seen at the range yesterday shooting guns and the bull, with the help on one old faithful guard dog.

Too bad you were not there, that is a secret kept by old dogs and old men. But it must have been a nice day for diving also.

Charles, I had a 7week wait when I got mine. Start wearing your CC setup around the house to get use to it if wearing a holster is new to you.
I'm going in for the renewal class in a couple of weeks.

Neither the targets nor the bulls were safe. A great time was had by all.
This SS didn't need a firearm, just medical brass knuckles

If you can get a few to make one ragged hole, you can dump the rest of the mag into the berm and no one knows the difference, unless they see the dirt fly.

Ask the Big Greener how a stock 10/22 shoots?
keeps putting the bullets in the same hole.

greener wrote:And challenging too, dandelion stems are bigger than tthe Queen Ann's lace, you got to joy yje stem square on just below the blossom to get a clean cut. Half lengths of blacboard chalk are fun also especially at 100 yard with the 17HMR or the .223, 58 yards for the 22LR is about macx as far as I aam concerned.bearandoldman wrote:If you can get a few to make one ragged hole, you can dump the rest of the mag into the berm and no one knows the difference, unless they see the dirt fly.
