Survival and Emergency Preparedness

My local LGS still has a decent selection of handguns. The .45 case has been the most hard hit, or so it seems, where as the stock in the .40 and 9mm cases seems to be about half of what they normally had. And they seem to have more revolvers now than before. Don't know why but the revolver case was...

I keep a Becker BK3 TacTool in my vehicle. Basically it is a sharpened pry bar. Definitely not a "stabby" kinda knife. You asked what do we envision as the task of the knife-- I see it as filling out a spectrum of knives. I keep a small pocket knife on me, I will generally have a Leatherma...

My nightstand pistol is a Glock 22.3. It wears an Insight M3X light and has a mag with a +2 baseplate for extended unpleasant social interactions. It has been doing this duty in this configuration for 14 years. I am considering a shift to my 23.4 in this role and I'd get a new light for it. I have o...

Yes, it's a waiting game right now. I can wait. Don't like it, but I can. Any thoughts on a 357sig barrel? Although this isn't a primary caliber for me I have noticed that it's been available some places online and on Armslist for really about the same price as pre-panic. I've slowly started buildi...

I spoke with my son last night and again this morning. He is prepping as best he can.

We have all seen times where hurricanes suddenly strengthened before landfal...

The finger grooves are not an issue for me. At least, not yet. I am still mulling the option of getting a 9mm conversion barrel for the 23 in order to transition to 9 as my primary round. I won't go any further with that until ammo supply comes back. I have plenty of 40S&W for 2 pistols (a 22.3 ...

It also looks thick enough to make holsters incompatible. A leather rig might be able to stretch and accommodate but a kydex would not. I'll just keep my gen4 23.

The last I checked (just a minute ago) Laura is predicted to track through Louisiana and right over Shreveport/Bossier City. It should be a TS by that point but those are still nasty. My son and his family live in Bossier City; I'll be talking to him today.

I just now looked-- Gunmagwarehouse has 10 rounders with the extension in stock. The flush fit are out, though. When I bought my 12 round mags they came with an additional baseplate. Apparently you can remove the grip extension plate and put the plain flush fit on. I assume that this is for use with...
