That's a beautiful sight! Did you have to get a business license for that manufacturing facility?

And primers.
5.56, .308, powder and primers. And that's it.
And 9mm & .45 bullets.

I work gun shows every couple of months for a friend who sells reloading components. He pays me in components and I've been hoarding since 2012. I will continue to hoard until it is all dried up.

I only need a license if I want to sell what I load, which I don't. Hence, the hoarding.

If you don't load 223/308, I'll buy your brass from you.

I reload my pistol calibers and .308. Don't shoot enough 5.56 to justify the setup, maybe when I retire. I bought the full cases for long term stash, reloads don't sit long enough to go stale.

I'm concerned with lead for now since USA shut down our last remaining smelter in Tn. now all we have is recycle and import.

Not wasting my time with you, all replies will just disappear anyhow..... weren't you warned the last couple times you came in here???

Maybe he's onto something, but we need to take it one step further. Maybe if we give the stupid people or the bad guys the guns that don't hurt anyone, then it would be helpful for those people being robbed. They could see the gun (maybe make it bright orange), and when he goes "give me all your money", you just hit the ground laughing your a$$ off. Then pull your weapon and kill him. It is a whole lot safer this way, for the "victim".

... and he's gone again for good this time. Please let me know if you see a return.

Ok guys! Your opinions on a nice carry and conceal holster for my Springfield Mod 2 Sub-compact. I was looking at Galco but if anyone has any other suggestions, they will be appreciated. Preferably something any member here owns and uses. Why owns and uses you ask? Easy, if I need to pull this weapon out of this holster, I want to know what you guys ACTUALLY use and that it works. Of course I'll try before I buy and check reviews but I figured if anyone knows, it would be you. Leap of faith here guys! haha!

Everyone is different, my son likes IWB poly molded holsters.

I like small OWB leather pancake holsters, I'm not home to look, but I think it's a Galco model my 1911 sits in. These new poly molded holsters are hard on a gun's finish and have no flex. Leather will eventually wear edges, but I like the patina they put on a gun.

Also check out what LE is using, (when they have a choice) it's probably all day comfortable at a decent price.

Before you go into sticker shock, check out this vid when you have time. I'd like to have one of his holsters.

When it comes to something that, price is not going to be my reasons for not buying. The way i see it, this holster could mean life or death. Life, if pick a good solid holster that fits well and is comfortable that i can draw without any hangups. Death, if i choose the wrong one and the gun snags at my moment of truth. I would.prefer leather for the comfort and quality. Thanks for the vid.

That's why I like OWB vs. IWB. OWB is easier for me to get to. Harder to conceal, but Oklahoma's carry laws are excellent in that regard.

Have you guys considered something like this?

http://www.ccwbreakaways.com/stone-cargos/

Just me but I hate IWB holsters. I am 270 lbs so they are uncomfortable. I already do not want to change my pants size to make them fit. lol I use cargo pants like these when I want to carry. My Springfield xd mod2 in .45 does well and I get to carry two mags. Really this is 36 rounds of .45. I also use a rothco conceal carry when I go into northern states and can get away with a jacket. That thing will hold two pistols and 4 mags.
