I’m not denying the damage, just saying that you won’t notice it.

I always wear ear protection when target shooting but never have while hunting. After 30 years of hunting my hearing test still shows no loss and I don’t have tinnitus. I can still hear a mosquito fart at 80 paces.
Excellent. You have good genes and/or good luck. All I can say is that is is very painful to bump your hearing pro off while on a shooting range. I double up these days.

I think my point got lost. I always wear ear protection when target shooting and I would never suggest that someone doesn’t. I was just trying to make the point that in a SD scenario that you probably wouldn’t be able to tell a .38 and .357 apart.

I have once or twice touched one off when I forgot to put them on and it is in fact painful. Definitely not a great idea.

Oh, got it. I misread that one, sorry.

Pretty decent deal on some PPU 185gr JHP .45auto at the Sportsmansguide.
For this day and age anyways.
Right now it's $30.39 for a 50rd box.
You can get a 1000 rd cade of 185gr jhp cheaper than ya can a 1,000 rd case of 230gr fmj
That's not too bad, all things considered.
Just thought I'd let yall know.

That’s not bad. Last time I bought .45 I paid $250 for 500 rounds of Wolf. Ouch! Steel is supposed to be cheap.

Dude, I know, right?
I really hope ammo gets back down to 2019 prices.
I know I didn't help by buying what I just did though.

Kind of had no choice, just bought a G42 from my sister, brand new never fired for $250. Her loss. Haha. Be a nice pocket pistol in the summer time.

This past weekend I was going through some ammo of mine, found 10 boxes of Remington Golder Saber 9mm 124gr. +P. Each box had a $7.99 sticker still on them! :flushed

And, the great thing about Remmy is they used to put 25 in the box instead of 20!

Check out Precision One ammo for quality 380 SD ammo, if you haven’t already. Their XTP performs well in the tests I’ve seen.

Does anyone have experience with Armanov grips?
I ordered a set today based on a review by Honest Outlaw. He really loves them.
I ordered a Medium in Black set of scales
Getting them for my Bul 1911. Absolutely nothing wrong with the scales that came with it. They're like VZ Operator scales. Anyways, I thought I would give the Armanov grips a try.

True Shot is giving away a Spyderco Tenacious with some ammo purchases. Prices seem reasonable for today, however I have never dealt with them and cannot offer an opinion either way.

Saw an ad for it. Neat looking little gun, but capacity seems a bit low compared to some of the other micro-compact 9mm's being offered these days due to being a single stack design. However I'm sure the slimmer profile and lighter weight will trump that for some.

I agree, I think the SHOT will be interesting this year .
