  1. Norton, here's what I've done with all my rifles and all of my pistols barrels as well. I give it the obligatory first cleaning just to make sure, then I take it out to the range and shoot the piss out of it until it's nice and warm. Then I moisten a barrel mop with Militec metal conditioner and swab the barrel while it's hot. I will do this a couple of times during the first trip to the range, and sometimes the second, because I do believe in the conditioning, self-lubricating, effects of Militec. Anything that can help to protect and prolong the barrel or any other part of any weapon that I paid good money for, makes sense to me. So far, with 24 weapons in the stable, all have been conditoned with Militec. And they all run like clocks! And I ain't believin' it's just luck. Works for me. YMMV. :smoke:

  2. Badman,

     

    can you give a little commentary on that Kel-tec .223 pistol?

     

    I've been thinking about one of those, you're the first person i've seen who actually has one!

     

    accurate? Fun? worth the price?

     

    which do you prefer in the small carbines....i see you have hi-point, keltec and beretta......

     

    PS, cute daughter, and a very nice arsenal you got there.....i'm sure you would make sure the boys saw that collection before you let them take your daughter out....just so they knew where they stood with you....lol

     

    Ranger, Thnx for the kind words. I love the PLR-16! The picture you see of it there is before I added the compact forend, ADCO Solo reflex sight, small bipod, flash hider and sling. This is the way it looks now except for the bipod...

    This pistol is very accurate! Capable of 4" groups at 100 yds. if you do your part. Uses the same mags as an AR-15. Fun gun and very powerful!

     

    As far as the small calibers go, my daily carry is the Kel-Tec P-32...

    I carry it in the right front pocket in the Elite Survival Systems pocket holster. Very comfortable and easily concealed.

    If I had my druthers, I'd be carrying a larger caliber like my XD-40SC, or my XD-45. But, with the way I dress, (khakis and tucked in golf shirt), it would be impossible to conceal. The Beretta Tomcat .32 is another nice small carry, but it is heavier than the KT. The Hi-Points are ugly, but cheap and reliable. They are too big and bulky for concealed carry as well. I also have the Kel-Tec P-11 now and have ordered a Grandfather Oaks pocket holster for it. If I find it carries comfortably enough, I may switch to it for carry.

     

    Out of all the handguns I own, my favorite has to be the XD-45. I liked it so much that I bought a second. Very accurate, pleasure to shoot, and 13 +1 capacity of big .45. I shoot the XD-45 in IDPA. The next favorite would have to be my new Rock Island 1911 A-1.

     

    Ranger, Kristi is married, but all the guys know that I'm not askeered of a draggin' if someone mistreats a child of mine. But she knows how to take care of herself. And ChapperJoe, all the guys that come knocking know the same. :smoke:

  3. Mine is the result of a sarcastic joke really. I was talking with a friend over the internet and worrying out loud to her about being too strick with my kids. I take being a good father seriously, and I was concerned that I might make my kids hate me by punishing them. She jokingly said, "Oh yeah...you're really a Badddd man...lol. And so, Badman was born. Since I was 40 at the time, I tried badman40. Someone else already had that screen name, so I added a zero. I use this handle on all the forums and have for years. Boring, huh? :smoke:

  4. Thnx for the kind words guys. Yes I am contented; most of the time anyway. Kristi looks just like her mother. And yes I taught her to shoot, and shoot safely. Most treat her with respect. Her dad has a varied selection of range toys. :smoke:

    You guys are a class act. Gentleman and scholars. Well....gentleman at least...lol. But, nobody answered the question. Any word on an extension for the new 20 rounders? :unsure:

  5. Just recently got the Saiga .308. Missed the introductory offer for the new 20rd. mags. I saw some mention of extending this offer and would certainly order one if the deadline were extended. Any definite word on an extension yet?

    My daughter wants to go shoot the Saiga, but we need more ammo capacity!
