Well Brothers;
Yesterday I got a steroid injection in my back. When I got out of bed this morning my back and knees didn't hurt for the first time in months. I feel like I could pack up, jump on an engine and fight the fires of hell. Well...maybe.....just watch.

Re: Defensive and Everyday Carry
I shoot whatever, so I can pick up any rock/stick/atlatl/sling/slingshot/crossbow/longbow/recurve bow/compound bow/potato gun/firearm/flintlock/caplock/matchlock/airgun/corkgun/blowgun/rubberband gun/spring gun/caliber/gauge/ammo combo and shoot well. I may not come out on top in a gunfight, but it was fun while it lasted😉
And, just so you know, I have hunted gophers with rocks (when my shoulder worked) and was successful. You don’t waste any meat with a rock to the brainpan, there’s not much on a gopher to start with😳

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Rainy here probably through most of the night, so I decided to break open Ashton's Rainy Day with a reworked Paronelli I received from the STL pipe show...

Re: Defensive and Everyday Carry
@vtgrad2003 suggestion, as opposed to wad cutters, check these Lehigh bullets out, there are several company's loading these bullets for sale as I presume most of you do not reload. https://lehighdefense.com/
For defensive carry these Lehigh bullets are all I load anymore for 38, 9mm, and 45. Check out the youtube evaluations / trials, you'll be impressed

Re: Defensive and Everyday Carry
@RockyMountainBriar
I have one of those myself. It's an excellent gun and I carry it all the time in the summer when I'm wearing shorts (I also have the shrouded hammer version of that gun--638 I think it is). I have thousands of rounds through that thing and never had a single issue with it. I would avoid +P ammo though as being a snub, it's got tons of kick with +P. +P isn't necessary anyway (it's like having a hemi engine on a Dodge).
I usually use wadcutters for personal defense for it instead of hollow points. My experience with all my snubs is that they simply don't expand enough to be effective and are horrible for accuracy when they don't. Also, wadcutters being a competition round, they don't have near the kick of a regular 38 round.
If you need a holster for it, let me know...I've got a custom leather holster guy here in NC that makes fantastic, light, clip-on IWB's for that gun, and for cheap.
Nice gun! You'll enjoy it for sure!

Re: Defensive and Everyday Carry
I couldn’t help myself, a phenomenal price and a $50 rebate. S&W 637 .38 Special +P. The short rubber boot/bantam grip panels are the originals. I was trying out some others that I have. The large rubber set is from my model 60. The Hogue CocoBolo are super comfortable, but a bit wider. I settled on the skinny red/black laminate panels that I swapped off of my Model 60 Pro when I added the faux ivory panels to it. The thin laminate panels led to some sharp recoil even on the all steel Model 60 Pro 3” with .357 magnums. The .38 Special even +P should be better, although, the new 2” snub is an Airweight…we shall see🤔

Well Lads, I have to say that the more I smoke "Barking Dog", The more I like it, even though the pouch aroma is still awful. Tied it today in me "Peterson Kildare".

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
I was a little under the weather yesterday and didn’t feel like a pipe, so I’m smoking what was on my “to smoke” list today. I’ve got the Peterson SPD 2023 53 loaded with some Peterson’s SPD L.E. 2016 tobacco.
