Re: Concealed Carry training in the Boca area?

I think the only gun shop in Boca is Gunshine Arms on Dixie Hwy https://gunshinearms.com/ and they do the usual non-hands on training for a carry license.They may have other options but I haven't been in there in a while. It's a good gun shop however and Nick (the owner/operator/all-around good guy)...

Re: I am voting for the Dem 2024 nominee if Trump is the GOP nominee

Here's a link to Trump's official accomplishments as POTUS: https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/ in case anyone has forgotten. Personally, I can get past his Fred Flintstone act and loudmouth personality and accept that he did a lot of great things for our Repub...

Re: recommended OTB holster for Governor

I have a Thunder 5, which is the 1980's version and have been eyeing cordless drill holsters. :lol: I can't imagine ever actually carrying it cause it's so big and heavy but might try it if open carry ever becomes legal.

Re: Get your shiite squared away folks !

Out of beer? OMG! I always keep some whisky on hand in case of snakebite, especially on the boat. :D Anyway, wishing the best of luck to everyone staring this one down. Prayers going your way. We're in SE so if we don't get a tornado (or three) we'll just get lots of flooding rain. That doesn't mean...

Re: No firearm or ammo sales during FL State of Emergency

Good info & thanks for clarifying. On the other hand, I can understand why the FFL would err on the side of caution. Apparently ALL FFLs are having to put up with a LOT more scrutiny from the political left (ATF etc.) & many are being stripped of their licenses due to minor, clerical errors....

Re: .38 spl wadcutters

Thanks for the replies & good info. Since I don't have Bullseye I'll probably go with W231 as that seems to be just as popular. Bought the HBWCs from Everglades & they're doublestruck plated so shouldn't foul the bbl much if I don't over drive 'em. 700 - 780 fps seems about right. In my sear...

.38 spl wadcutters

I've been thinking about taming the S&W J Frame a little by going from 158 gn JHP to 148 gn HBWC. My question is do I seat the bullet flush or just a "CH" higher? Also, should I go with a light or heavy crimp? I'll be using W231 or AA#2 or #5 - or maybe try all 3 & see which works ...

Re: Unless you are from here you don't know the struggle.

I remember riding my motorcycle to work that day, then a little while later, scraping up enough snow from the shady side of the warehouse for snowballs to pelt the boss when he came in late. Good times!

Re: The 15th district Republican primary is a turd buffet

I'm not playing the lesser evil game anymore. I will vote my conscious. Is his competitor (James W Shaw) any better? I'm kinda liking what I see here if true: https://ballotpedia.org/James_Shaw (Scroll down to see his answers to Ballotpedia's standard candidate questions) https://www.votejim.us/mee...
