I love all the gear content y'all post on here, it's fucking awesome! But also I love the training content and want to see more and more of it! Remember that it's the user that's dangerous, not the tool - just having the tool isn't enough. I'm so happy with how far I've come in the last year but I still have so much farther to go! Getting better at a skill is so much fun.

Hi, so I haven't been on Reddit in a while. It got a bit too nazi-ish. Anyway, I have a barrel for a Remington 783 .30-06, and I've never made a gun with something that high-power before, so I was going to machine a breech plug and make it into a high-power black powder rifle, because I figure a slow-burning charge means I have more of a chance of keeping all my fingers. Plus, black powder rifles are just so much cooler in some regards, and using something meant for extremely high-power like .30-06 means I have a lot of leeway for my charge. Had anyone done something like this? I have it all planned out, just wondering how weird of a project it is. Deer season is fast approaching so I need to get working on it.

Is one is something you don’t see everyday! It’s a 45-75

Never gotten to take a proper picture of my Lee Enfield, so here it is. It's a Rifle No. 4 Mk. I Long Branch from our cousins in Canada. Produced in 1945. Love me some old bolt action rifles :3

This is my marlin 30-30 with a couple add-ons. No I don’t like the scope rings but they were in the drawer so I’m using them for now.

10mm Kriss Vector. Blazer 10mm 180 FMJ. No sign of OOB, just separated the case head. Made a funny pop and couldn't feed a new round. Gun seems fine if not the bolt being coated in a impromtu brass paintjob and some brass shrapnel and dust in my fcg. Gonna deep dive and take some go and no go gauges to it. Ive shot well over 10k rounds of Blazer between 10mm, 45, and 9mm and never had any issue but this on top of a blown 9mm primer in the same day leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

My Beretta patrol 12 gauge and an STI host.

Always wanted to get a 1911. So I managed to do so. Can't wait to take it to the range.

Follow up post from, "Stop the Bleed" asking for recommendations for a way to EDC a SOF-T and Combat bandage. I was recommended checking out Apex Development which looked promising!

I got their Med Mod and I'm going to see how well this works out for my EDC. :D

UPDATE: The Combat Bandage is too unwieldy for a concealed EDC for me. This will work well at the range but for everyday use it's a bit much. I will explore other options for bandages or just carry the SOF-T.

I’m carrying a M&P9 2.0 compact 4in in an Philster Enigma Express holster. While you can feel that it’s there for sure, it’s honestly pretty comfortable despite the fact that I spend a lot of time driving (doing door dash). Highly recommend if you’re looking for a good holster that is comfortable and works with most clothing

I just wanted to say I appreciate this community for allowing expression of joy and not dunking on people.

I'm really sick of the nick picking culture and the eagerness to gotcha people and just generally be super negative that is so pervasive in so many spaces.

The only nitpicking I ever get here is just actual helpful tips.

Nobody ever tries to yuck my yum on being a weirdo freak.

I appreciate y'all. Y'all are cool.

Keep up the good work 🩵🤍🩷

Smiling Giga chad says yucking yums is loser behavior and it's cool to be positive and build people up.

A new to me Walther (Interarms) PPK. All I need now is a nice leather shoulder holster and a trench coat. Gonna be fashionable af! Secret Agent Gal!

My new appendix carry holster Springfield armory prodigy 2011 finally came in! How do you care every day?

Various images of my different firearms. The AR15 now has a fixed sight and a shoulder strap. The shotgun now has a barrel mounted flashlight. I got a gun safe to store everything. And I got a ton of ammo.

The 3rd to last image is a screenshot from the Animated masterpiece Rango, of Rango holding Jake The Rattlesnake at gunpoint and saying "It only takes one bullet".

And then I included some pics of me showing off my epic musclar back at the end cus you've been good you deserve a treat :3

I have:

1: A barrel mountain flashlight for my shotgun intended for home defense applications.

2: One of those 22LR conversion kits for my AR to make training more affordable.

3: A basic fixed sight for my AR.

4: A basic shoulder strap for my AR.

Can you all just like, tell me it's actually really not that hard or time consuming to install these so I can just get out of my own way and do it already?

Getting 5 hours of range time today outside! After a few months of not training 😭 so excited!

(Image of my 2nd time at the range with this pistol and only 4th time with pistol overall)

Got my CC licence. Got a used CZ P-01. Have been to the range 2-3 times. Thing feels amazing in the grip, recoil control is amazing, and im overall satisfied.

Im struggling with feeling comfortable with CC. I grew up bird and deer hunting. Im perfectly fine with that. Never really wanted to consider carrying something intended to k*ll other people. Then orange dictator happened for a 2nd time and im worried about Magat fecks deciding they need some vigilante justice on me for existing while trans. Everyday is more antitrans rhetoric. I grew up in rural Bible belt and I have known the type of chucklefucks that cause trouble from a warped sense of the world. So I got the license and weapon.

Walking with one in the chamber, muzzle pointed at my body (holster) goes against everything that was hammered into me for gun safety growing up. Plus figuring out holsters is a pain in the ass (which ones conceal well or work well with my body). And I wont open carry because Im a firm believer that it just makes other people uncomfortable, paints a target on you, and escalates conflict.

I have no qualms defending myself. Im a fencet, but ive also taken a knife fighting class knowing that if that actually happened then everyone involved is either hospital or morgue bound. Also done some martial arts training in the past.

I know if im going to do this, then I want to do this safely and correctly. I'd love some guidance from people that arent politically leaning into removing my rights, and that is harder to find.

Question: Any recommended types of courses at a local range? Or specific YT videos?

Love these things. ❤️

It said "Regulate guns, not drag" but I used a paint marker to make it say "Don't regulate guns, drag."
