I think the new Kahr .380 would be perfect. I have the PM9, and the trigger pull is a smooth 6# that feels lighter.

The Ruger LCP or Kel-Tec P3AT will probably kick too much for her.

Mike. No problem. No, the canoe I have is a friend's that I am borrowing. I wanted to return it to him.

Thanks anyway. That's a generous offer and PIF for someone. God bless.

Mike....Let's talk on that canoe, if it's still available. I can come pick it up.

I have a TZ-75 from the mid-80's and I love the pistol. Fit and finish are quality; feeds every kind of ammo with no hiccups; great trigger; and has been a reliable, accurate shooter. Couldn't ask for more.

Hi Alnitak I like the look of the 'noose' - I tried this with the hide lace I had - but it comes out a little thin if you get my meaning. - is yours just one layer of leather ? Both you & O.S.O.K. make good points about what is 'hidden' under the wrap - mine is a standard lever - so nowhere to ...

alnitak

I used a simple "noose" wrap on this one. Ideally, the leather would have been longer to cover more of the large loop. However, I find I can slide this one back and forth so there's no buildup underneath the wrap. Also, I put a few drops of gun oil on it to both color the wrap darker and m...

I've been waiting to hear back on the results of the HHO test. Has anyone installed and tested the concept in the last couple weeks?

I also like Accurate #9 for .44 mag. That can be loaded up or down, very similar to 2400 (even to the grain weight), but I think it's a little cleaner.

505Stevec -- Just wanted to let you know I got a chance to get by the P.O. yesterday and picked up the Mini-14 mags.

Got to looking at the reloading setups featured in this thread: http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?p=89470#89470 and was looking at the accessories on the benches.

Some very nice bench ideas there. I can't add much to them (since I still need to build one), but I can second the idea of a Lee handloader. Very convenient to size and de-prime while you're watching TV (or the little fella/gal). Takes up no space, and it's always nice to have as a backup when you g...

Sounds like the benefits in today's engines, with today's high-octane gases, are minimal, if not negative: "Can mothballs increase octane? The legend of mothballs as an octane enhancer arose well before WWII when naphthalene was used as the active ingredient. Today, the majority of mothballs us...

505Stevec -- what capacity are those Mini-14 Mags, and are they metal or plastic? I've been participating on the TFL PIF thread for a while (have never gotten anything, though have given away stuff. Always seem to be too late -- the "regulars" scarf up the good items quickly), so I don't h...

Grizz -- I think you ought to go read Paul's post again.

What gets my gander is that we had a chance to avoid this thirty years ago, during the last gas crisis. We have the technology -- oil is not the answer.

I tend to be a bit nostalgic about these things. My first SA pistol (Vaquero) and first Winchester (Trapper) were in .44 mag. And like YK, that was also the first cartridge I reloaded.

OK, question on these. As an experiment, I went to the backyard where a bunch of these have already fallen (the tree in front seems to develop later than those in the back).

I spend a lot of time on the Defensive Carry forum, where situations like this are discussed in some detail. The consensus opinion is that one should carry even when at home.
