Happiness is a new gun 2

The Mossberg looks like it could of been produced yesterday. Somebody took good care of that one!

I usually look for ones that are mostly all there with a rough stock and enjoy refinishing them. This one is one pretty hard to find, in fact I couldn't find any to compare on gunbroker and stuff. This one has a few minor little dings and I'm aching to go at it but it's nice enough that I'd best leave this one alone.

Kind of fun searching for parts for the ones I get that are missing something. Relatively inexpensive guns in the overall scheme of things and everyone I've got it a tack driver. Some really get big bucks for parts sometimes. Messed up on one at least and had to pay large for a sight. Oh well, makes for good fun. I always take them fishing with me and sadly lose one every trip so never hurts to add another whenever possible.

That's the spirit Colonel. What is it they say, idle hands are the devil's workshop?

I like mouseguns.
Just got this Ruger LCP Max (10+1) .380, which will replace my old LCP.

I’ve wondered what that one would be like for pocket carry, in something like gym shorts? Regular shorts I can actually run around with my CW9, but with elastic band shorts the LCP is about it. I switched to the 22 LR version. At the range, the regular LCP and me would sometimes not get along. I mean I would occasionally limp wrist, which had me thinking that under duress I may have the same occur being as I’m a little more focused on not doing so at the range.
Your new one looks nice and doesn’t really seem to take up much more space. I have not seen one in person yet. Hope you enjoy it!

It is slightly thicker and the grip is about 1/4” longer, so my fingers fit better than the old model. The tritium/white outline front sight is nice for my geezer eyes, and the extractor is more robust than the original.
I’ve not had a problem limpwristing with the LCP, but did with one of my KelTecs.
I too wear shorts with elastic waistbands & drawstrings,which limits my pocket carry to these mouseguns.

During cool weather I’ll tote my CW9 in a Remora that can be worn IWB or a jacket pocket..

I ran into a fella last year at the lake who wore a Sig 220 with his swim trunks. The kind that has a string. Said he just pulled the string real tight. Funny thing is the Sig was hardly noticeable. Him and his wife became friends.
The lake is about the only place I don't carry all day every day, might change my perspective.......
Course last time out fishing the boat plug fell out. I had to jump out to McGyver a quick plug so I wouldn't lose the boat and sadly in the process my last Kel Tec went to the deep. Guess I need to look for some sort of firearm ya know just in case.

[Armybrat]

So your little KelTec joined that huge pile of firearms on the bottom of the lake that was tragically lost by all the local gun owners after unfortunate boating accidents?

Were a man to discover that spot, and invest in a little scuba gear, he would be RICH! Or heck, just go magnet fishing!

I read that they had actual sights this time around. Sounds like they got them right. Yeah, the tiny grip on the older, smaller version is a bit of a trade off. I never limp wristed with range grade stuff, but with Hornady’s and some of the other defense rounds. It would not feed my favorite ammo though, the Liberty stuff. Too bad as in my other guns that stuff shoots noticeably softer.
