Re: What are people’s CC

Sig p365. I got this gun because of its conceal ability. It fits great in either the
Front pocket or back pocket of my Wrangler jeans. Here in AZ there are no
Restrictions on concealing a hand gun. No permits or licenses required either.

Re: Favorite pocket gun?

My wife picked me up a Sig P365 for Father’s Day last year. 9mm with a 12 round clip.
Weight is about 1lb. Fits easily in the rear pocket of my Wranglers. I don’t use a
Pocket holster.

I think she got me the 365 so I would stop hijacking her Sig P238! Her Gun shoots a .380

Re: .22 mag for hiking

Here in SE AZ we are experiencing an out break of rabies. Mostly fox and some
Coyotes. When the wife and I take a hike in the mountains I now pack my Sig P365
In 9mm. The pistol weighs only a pound. This past Sunday a hiker was attacked by a
Coatimundi!!

@grasshopper is that the subwoofer next to the TV? Oh you have two of them. They are good sized. I bet watching movies is great.

Re: Dune Prophecy


Anyone see the last episode (4)?

Did the mother superior have a Spyderco knife? It was hard to see as she was holding it down, by her side.

Pretty sure I saw the spydie hole in the blade, when she flipped it open.

Anyone else?


I noticed also. But, I was just for second or two. Subsequent ...

Re: First Spyderco?

My late father-in-law (a cattle rancher) gifted me a c05 Standard in stainless steel
sometime in the late 80’s.
The pocket clip and one handed opening really changed how I looked at pocket knives.
I was instantly hooked. I purchased a FRN Dragonfly a couple years later.

In the 90’s I moved to a ...

Re: The Last Gun You Bought



The Mrs. picked up a Sig p365 with 3-12 round mags and a really bizarre Kydex holster.
The only issue is a can’t use it till Fathers Day. I’m excited, been lusting for this gun
for a few years now. Don’t need it, just wanted it.

You might consider a sig p238 in .380. There's a 9mm version as well. If you use the extended magazine it should barely fit your hand, but be very easy to pocket.

Re: Holy Smoke! Buying a New Car?


I admit that I am somewhat at fault here.
