Re: How many rounds does your CCW hold?
Either 8 rounds of 9mm or 16 rounds of 9mm depending on what I'm toting. Always have one extra mag.

Re: Opinions on possible retirement to Ky or Tenn
I can't say about KY but have lived in TN a long time. TN has no state income tax and as long as you are east of the TN River it is hard to go wrong. West TN has more in common with MS culturally and topographically and is considered by many to be part of MS. Nashville is a boom town now and is in D...

Re: On ramping up the supply of rim-fire ammo.
I've been keeping an eye on rimfire ammo. It is starting to sit longer and longer and the price is inching down. Hopefully the bubble is bursting.

Rumor is if the gun has short wood in front of the barrel band it will be factory drilled.

Re: Carry of a j-frame for ccw
The Bianchi Model 6 is an old school IWB holster with a metal clip to hold it in your belt. I have one from many years ago. I used to put the clip under my belt and tuck my shirt in over the gun. You have to pooch out your shirt just a little over the gun but it's no problem.

Are we witnessing a changing of the guard on levers?
In my area there have always been a lot of lever guns floating around. The Marlin 336 has always been a staple gun. That created a situation where pawn shops had many Marlins and some Winchesters. Used Marlins were always popping up and there were many Marlins at every gunshow. Over the last two or ...

Most other ammo is back and the prices are coming down. I would wager 22 will be back by the end of the year. Then we will be in a sweet spot for getting stuff until the 2016 elections. After that my crystal ball gets real fuzzy.
