My eyesight has always been terrible. I have worn glasses or contacts since 4th grade. I had started to get interested in laser surgery the last 10 years or so, the advances they are making there is incredible. I finally went in to LasikPlus on the north side of Indy for a free consultation...
Ever since we replaced the incandescent bulbs in our house with the “longer lasting and energy efficient” LED’s, we have had terrible luck with them. It seems they are always burning out, flickering, or otherwise not lasting. It seems they are way worse than the old bulbs we replaced, and a...
Got me a new SA Hellcat Pro today. After about 150 rounds, this gun is in contention for being my favorite carry pistol to date. The night sights it comes with are awesome. I am liking the big rear U notch. 15+1 is a slimmer, slightly smaller package than my G19. I really like my G19, but...
Or just cool looking? I have a regular side opening Benchmade “switchblade” and like it a lot. Solid lock up and I carry it everyday and use it often. Do the OTF knives lock up solid enough to be useful, or are they wobbly and fragile? The only thing I know about them is I want one and they...
When my MIL died, she had a small box in her safe deposit box that had a fair amount of coins in it. Neither the wife or I are “coin collector” people, so we have no idea of their value, if any at all other than face value. A ziploc eack of quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars. A few...
I currently have two that I am happy with. A palmetto upper on a KE lower and a recent production Stag M4 which seems to be a good quality basic M4. A couple thousand rounds through each with no issues. I have a Primary Arms 1x6 LPVO on the PSA, which I like a lot, and a ACOG TA31F on the...
After years of wanting one, the wife and I finally broke down and ordered ours today. I will try to remember to post a review of sort and how we like it. Anybody on here have one, or have any tips, tricks, etc on their use?
I have been kicking around the idea of buying a thermal monocular. I know zero, nada, zip about them. Does anyone here know anything about them. In particular the 1k ish price point. Waste of money, good? I would want at least several hundred yards of detection range.
A friend just gave me her Dad‘s hi standard double nine 22 revolver. He died some time ago and she didn’t want it. Seems to be an okay made pistol, nine shots, and double action. I don’t think that is the original grip on it and the trigger has some sort of attachment on it to make the...
Is there any particular caliber you don’t like? I guess I don’t actually DISLIKE any caliber, but for me, two come to mind that I just have never warmed up to and don’t really have much appeal to me. 380 and 22 magnum. I just have never felt the desire to buy one. My wife likes her 380, but...
This is my favorite rifle that I own. Got a lot of them. AR’s, AK’s, shotguns, lots of other rifles and pistols. This is my favorite. Made in 1968, a year before I was born. Has a incredibly good trigger, iron sights, and super sexy wood. It is a little beat up, because it has been used...
I have a tikka CTR that is super accurate. 3/8 inch groups with Hornaday ELD -X. 143 grain bullets. I have killed exactly one deer with it, a doe at 275 yards. It seemed to work fine, but I have read of others having issues with this bullet. Anybody on here have any experience with it? My...
I am kicking around the idea of getting a precision rifle for my next purchase. I would like a gun that can reliably shoot 1 MOA or better without too much trouble. It also needs to be reasonably light, meaning I can use it to hunt from my deer stand. I have been looking at the Remington 700...
We have been talking with my son about healthcare insurance for him and his family. His employer either doesn’t offer it or it is super expensive, not sure yet. That got me to thinking about the insane cost of healthcare here. Has it always been this way? If not, when did it get so expensive...
She is moving into an apartment complex in TN. She is a fairly experienced shooter, but doesn’t own a firearm of her own. I got her this for Christmas. Fairly inexpensive, and should work fine. Yeah I know it is a Taurus, but I have had good luck with them in the past. 357/.38 should do.
This may be a duplicate, I haven’t read every post the last few weeks. Here are Some of Biden’s top candidates and their view that guns are a public health issue. Sound familiar? Kind of like Covid? And the infringements they have and are putting on us? This is why I can’t believe that a...
Okay, election is over ish? Probably gonna be Biden. I did not vote for him, some on here did. Maybe we should all just take a step back and remember why we come to a gun forum. I am guilty of getting hot headed, and was banned for it, good call. So, Dems have president and house. No gun...

Yep, we are now there. Michigan will now require names and phone numbers when you eat out, for contact tracing. We have now went full throttle into bizaro land.

I hope not. I donÂ’t believe so, but if true, we will never have another Republican president; and all our resident Democrat voters wildest dreams will have come true. Until they...
