    Holsters while you wait?

    Yes . At a gun show , where you drop off gun at their booth , and return later on . The actual process is quick , but it was a matter of how many guns were ahead of yours in line . The usual vendor hasn't been at the local shows for a cpl years now . I did recently use a different one , but...

    IF you live/ work in proximity to your bank , And your schedule and lifestyle fits to casually pop in during the proverbial Bankers Hours , maybe not .

    Warmer weather cover garments.

    A button shirt . with some body to the fabric , and decent shirt tails Classic Dickies brand work shirts are ideal , but plenty others . Most " Hawaiian " shirts are made of very thin , supple material . The same thing in medium weight cotton would be good

    Series 80 vs series 70 for a carry gun?

    The OP obviously Wants an 80 , no reason not too , go for it . Is it needed ? Not really . With a vaguely fresh firing pin spring , the possibility of AD would range from zero to extremely negligible

    P. Harrell: Optimum Barrel Length for 22lr Rifles

    New York MikkiD's 'axe attack'

    Keeping in mind this was NYC , the odds are low that any of the diners would have been able to shoot back , McD " chairs " are fixed to the tables , bringing a napkin dispenser to an Axe Fight isn"t a good plan A ..

    Super Redhawk Alaskan

    Heavy enough to soak up recoil . BUT ... It's still a big heavy gun . And major velocity loss with 2.5 inch bbl . If you're going to carry a frame and cylinder that big , might as well go the cpl oz more for a 4in , and at least get decent velocity/ power .

    LCP for concealed carry?

    Previous iterations of LCP ( substitute various other pistols with endless stream of New & Improved Variants ) are still just as good & effective as they ever were . If something meets your expectations , and you shoot it well , no need to run out and replace it every year . It is extremely...

    Ruger 57 for black bear defense?

    4 inch Security Six , and " maybe inaccurate " ?!? Those are very accurate guns , .more so than 5.7's .Perhaps you are saying you need more practice with a semi serious handgun ? In which case , there's your solution , get some coaching and practice with your rapid- ish DA shooting . That...
