FYI my Mini 30 has a 189 prefix and was made in 1987

My woods gun is my P97 set up to shoot 45 Super. I run into black bears occasionally while checking my trail cameras.

I bought my used P97 about 20 years ago from an acquaintance who needed some money. Got it cheap. Never had much use or interest in double action autos but the more I used the P97 the more I liked it. It is my woods carry gun now.

Just an FYI, I have a 80's era Mini 30 with Tech Sights on it. As much as I like it it's probably a 4 or 5 MOA rifle at least with iron sights. I've killed a couple deer with it out to 100 yards using a scope just because I could to get meat during the early doe season or after I get my buck...

I carried my LC9 for 5-6 years before I replaced it with an LC9s. My LC9 has a very smooth double action trigger, better than most revolvers and with 7+1 capacity, flatter profile and a fraction of the price of a revolver. It is still a good carry/pocket gun choice.

The LC9, LC9s, LC9s Pro and EC9s all use the same mags.

I had a 7.5" stainless RH I sold to my son and bought a 5.5" one to take to Alaska when I went fishing a couple years ago. Carried it backpacking and fishing for 26 days in Alaska. Really wasn't too bad to carry once you got used to it. Carried it in a cheap nylon chest holster.

I don't see any advantage of a 30 SC over a 9mm in a single stack (LC9) pistol. Perhaps if it increased the capacity significantly there would be market

I bought my wife a S&W EZ 380. It is not really a pocket pistol but we found that she couldn't/didn't like shooting pocket 380s and 9mms. The EZ is nice size and weight with comfortable recoil. It is the only centerfire pistol my wife likes to shoot. It is easy to rack with a decent trigger...

I have black bears on my hunting property. See them all the time on my trail cameras, only seen them in person once in 26 years. When deer hunting I usually carry a 44 mag or 357 mag revolver just in case I get the opportunity to use it on deer. When just out and about on my land I usually just...

I have a SR762. It has a 16" bbl. I use it for hunting. Kinda wish it had a longer barrel. I think a 18" bbl would be ideal but I'd take the 20" if given a choice between a 16 & 20.

I kinda like belt clips on my LC9s. Never liked IWB holsters. I"ve been EDCing my LC9s for over 5 years that way. Pretty much put belt clips on all my carry guns.

The way I remember it the guy heated it up with a torch and then banged it over a anvil horn. I think he said a simple propane torch would not work though. Could be wrong.

to the OP.... There was a guy on the marlin forum years ago who posted about heating and stretching levers. I actually bought a lever off of ebay with the idea of doing that. Never got around to it and can no longer find his post but I know it can and has been done.

A little late to the party but I've been EDCing a LC9 and then an LC9 pro for about 6 years. I bought a G2c during a flash sale last fall. I liked it so much I bought a G3c on sale with a rebate a couple months ago. The trigger and sights are a bit different on the 3c (better) than on the 2c...
