I'm over here trying to preach the gospel of shooting people in the pelvis. I'm right, right?

Edit: yes I am serious. The backdrop of a shot at the pelvis would be the ground. A shot at her chest could be an innocent person. I'm not trying to be less lethal or arguing legality.

So these are two of my three rifles that I own (10/22 not pictured). I’ve been toying with the idea of getting an AR or something newer in general. But every time I go and look I just feel underwhelmed and disappointed. I’ve shot plenty and I personally don’t see the hype behind them. Not saying people shouldn’t have them. By all means buy what you want. But does anyone else just feel like AR are overhyped? Nothing newer seems to get me excited like older weapons do.

I’m in the hunt for an ammo “ecosystem” I plan on getting a revolver and a carbine. I like 9mm because I can also get semiautomatic handguns. (.357 can too if I get a Desert Eagle)

My biggest constraint is I like having both semiautomatic and manually operated carbines. Realistically it’s one or the other. To my knowledge there are no .357 semiautomatic options, and for 9mm it’s the POF Tombstone or a break action single shot.

Ideally I’d be able to get both but I can’t convince myself that getting both calibers is a smart decision.

Unless theres a decently priced M1 carbine in .357 or a nice(r) lever/bolt action 9mm I’m 6 one way and half a dozen the other.

I appreciate your suggestion regardless!

Is there a normal looking bag that can hold a 24" firearm that doesn't scream tacticool firearm holder? Can it look like a normal non-camo backpack without all the velcro, loops, webbing and large "cool" gun-coded brand names?

Does the community have any suggestions?

Edit: Thank you! I did not expect so many suggestions. I will check them all out. I don't mind if the gun has to sit diagonally in the bag, so the total length might only be like 20-21" and not the full 24" if it was placed straight up.

The natural instinct is to think that recoil will mess up your shot but isn't it actually not the case? Wouldn't max recoil occur after the bullet has already left the barrel due to some law of physics that I can no longer remember. If that is the case, recoil isn't all bad then? I mean it will mess up your next shot but not the one that already left? Is this right or did I mess something up?

Ringing in Wheelgun Wednesday with my matched set of Colt Model 1871 Open Top reproductions by Uberti in .45 Colt!

5 1/2” round profile barrels, rear sights mounted in the barrel itself instead of the receiver. Fixed firing pins in the hammers, no transfer bars in these repros makes them very authentic but they must never be carried nor left on a loaded chamber.

Sequential serial numbers, because gun chicks can do a little nerding, as a treat.

These certainly are not the guns that walked over Johnny Ringo’s grave, but I’m still your Huckleberry. 💋

My algorithm shows me iDryfire and VNSH Laser Strike a lot and I’m intrigued. Anybody have one that you like?

Bought a Low Pro X from Guerrilla Tactical meant for a G19 with a Streamlight TLR1 HL.

In case anyone was wondering, it fits with my RXM that has a Braun tac light from Harbor Freight 🤠

I just needed to get an adapter specifically for the RXM because the Glock one that came with the light left a decent gap between the gap of the trigger guard and the back of the light.

Edit: Got the adapter from Liberty Build Co
