Boom stick questions. Point me in the right direction.

Ordered 11/2022, shipped to dealer 7/2023, 194 days in 'jail'...  finally in-hand!

In reply to Rodan :

You are so lucky.  Where I live they are not allowed at all.  I wish they were.  My hearing would appreciate it. 

Is there anyone else here who owns a Dan Wesson revolver?  Looks like those have gone the way of the dinosaurs...

In reply to stroker :

I don't, but I bet my mom still has her .357 mag. It was an anniversary present from my dad. No prizes for guessing who has fired it more. 

In reply to dean1484 :

Once you start shooting suppressed, you start getting offended with how 'loud' everyone else is... LOL.

Not such a big deal on handguns, but centerfire rifles are soooo much more pleasant to shoot suppressed.  And .22s are fantastic... no hearing protection required with subsonic ammo.

In reply to stroker :

Dan Wessons were always rare compared to S&W, but now that you hardly see revolvers in most shops, they're really rare.

In reply to Rodan :

Didn't CZ buy Dan Wesson? Not sure if they even make them anymore TBH, although I am seeing Colt revolvers again since they also were purchased by CZ. 

CZ bought DW in the early 2000s, but I don't believe many (if any) revolvers were produced between the early 1990s when DW went bankrupt and 2018 when they were re-introduced under CZ.  They have since been discontinued again.  Colt seems to be selling a lot of Pythons lately, so maybe CZ will bring them back again...?

Which is precisely why I raised the question.  My Pinto 445 needs a companion...

One of my oldest friends is in town visiting, so I took him to the range today.  He shot some .22 rifle competition back in high school, but had a serious run-in with brain cancer about 20 years ago.  He survived but is severely disabled, and hadn't been behind a gun since.

Today, he shot my .22 1911 and my CZ 457, off the bench, as he is unable to hold them normally.

He did just fine with the rifle...

In reply to Rodan :

Now that is cool!!!  

I am going to pattern the m2 tomorow. It was shooting about 8" high when we had it out last weekend shooting skeet.

I have one, first new gun I bought, around 1980. 6" barrel and a few speed loaders. Haven't shot it years. Nice piece. 

I patterned the M2 and it is shooting high.  I can just go higher with the rear site but that will not work well with the cheek weld so I am considering a red dot. Any recommendations for a red dot on a inertia based shotgun?  It has a pick rail on it. 

Just use a handgun red dot.... much less bulky than a long gun optic.  I'm running a Holosun 507 on my Beretta.

Got a P365 and Ruger Hawkeye 308 last night.  

Any recommendations for pocket holsters for the 365 to break up the outline?  It has a TLR-6 on it, but I'm okay ditching that to fit a holster better.  

In reply to jmabarone :

I'm not a big fan of pocket carry for something the size of a P365 (or for striker guns in general), but I have an Uncle Mike's pocket holster that works OK for my Bodyguard .380.

I will use a Kydex holster for IWB for pocket if I have to do that.  I remove all the attachment stuff.  I use Tulster products on some of my IWB stuff and it has been ok.

I recently got a Black Scorpion Gear holster for my VP9 and am very pleased.  The trigger is completely covered.  You would be hard-pressed to get a piece of paper into the trigger.

I don't know if they make something for the 365 but I have used them for several other things and they make quality stuff.

In reply to jmabarone :

I'm a fan of active retention. I prefer the Bianchi Carrylock OWB. I have never had a pocket large enough to carry any of my edc's so I can't help with that. 

Holsters! Relevant. 
 

I've had a bad experience with a company that took my money, and two months later still hasn't shipped the piece, or responded to any calls, texts, or email. "Guaranteed to ship in 3-5 days!"

So while I try to get my credit union to charge back the seller, I'm shopping for a different solution. 
Recommend me something IWB, reasonably comfortable, and not terribly expensive. 
Right handed, preferably appendix, fits G47. TIA!

I had an alien gear cloak tuck first gen when it was leather/kydex for my 24/7 Compact. It took a little time to break in (couple weeks) but once it was I rarely knew it was there. The problem with the first gen was the leather makes a fat man like me sweat. I've been tempted to try their newer version for the 1911 compact.

I much prefer leather, but there's something to be said for kydex for IWB for striker guns.  Rigid, full trigger coverage is a good thing with striker guns.  I have an Alien Gear setup for my P365XL, and it's pretty comfortable for all day carry.

I ordered a Rawdogtactical IWB jobby, leather backed kydex, based off a recommendation from a coworker. That's the one that hasn't shipped after two months. 
 

Im looking at an IWB lock leather from Urbancarry, but not sure I want to fork it out. 
 

OWB units are cheaper across the board, and the only place I plan to really carry is at the range or in the mountains on the XR, so open isn't exactly an issue. Idk. Too many options out there. 

Finally found a Daniel Defense H9(left) to go with my Hudson H9(right). Can't wait to set up some steel tomorrow and give the DD a rundown. 
Also, apologies it's my first time using the photo upload on here and it's a bit wonky. 

Camp Curry on Etsy is my go-to for holsters, he does a hell of a job and isn't too spendy
