First pistol on my permit was my fathers backup snubby Mdl 37 airweight.
You forgot no shell casings left behind , single or double action trigger pull and a speed strip for reloading is easy to conceal too.
After looking at the specs of both cartridges and the 204 chamber specs, I can see how a .223 would fit into a 204 chamber.
The .223 bullets Ogive sit's just below the 204's neck, giving it just enough room to fit into a 204's chamber without getting jammed.
You got lucky and I have two words...
Nice camo job.
Is this the daytime hunting rifle ?
Reason I'm asking, is that at night, unless it's a full moon, hunting with dark colored equipment is preferred and I've never worn any type of camo specific to the current environmental conditions at night.
Looks nice.
I went all titanium with my linear compensator, as I don't trust aluminum in the muzzle area.
4"s long x 1-1/2" dia, which really does a good job.
I think the KAK is actually too short in length.
My brake is titanium with outer threads and the compensator threads onto it, so I still...
If we set a date to have a night hunters group hunt when October rolls around and the loan to fill my gas tank gets approved, I'll be there.
We'd have most of the major thermal scope manufacturers being represented, but you'd better start saving money now, as once you look through a 640 res...
Unless she made some type of religious or friends and family exemptions I didn't read about, Every Concealed carry holder in the city and state has to comply with her demands, meaning the wealthy are being lumped in with the common folk and that's going to upset a lot of the upper crust and...
Thanks for the Addition to the topic.
It's good to get the perspective of someone that went through the process of finding what works for them in recent years.
Night hunting with thermal is an addiction and I got addicted a long time ago, when 160 res thermal was king and cost more than what...
I get asked a lot of questions about thermal optic recommendations, so I thought I would do a short tutorial about what you get for your dollar with the three current scopes I have at the moment.
My current Primary scope is an Nvision Halo X50 and my backup scope is an AGM Rattler TS25-384...
So she's adding more laws to the books that their not going to enforce, or they'll only enforce these laws and not the current laws that are broken daily by real criminals ?
I carry all this in my Eberlestock Gunslinger while predator hunting.

The only time I've had any real success with top water plugs, was bass fishing on lakes at night in the hot days of summer, casting from a boat parallel to the shore.
Caught some real nice lunkers that way.
Tisto is steering you in the right direction and you should take up his generous offer to look through his optics before you purchase anything.
The only negative is that you'll be looking through a top of the line 640 res scope that's way out of your price range.
In your price range, My...
Still can't see where a shirt would be rubbed enough to make a hole in it with the screws, but that issue would be taken care of with the deep pocket titanium LynchNW clips.
Screws are behind the lynch clip, not over the clip.
Check them out here LynchNW
Just wondering how your wearing a hole in your T shirts ?
I been carrying two spydercos everyday for the last couple of decades and have never had any issues with holes in my shirts, with any style pocket clip.
My current EDC's are a Canis in the left front and a titanium PM in my right front...
After shooting at some dogs and not finding them afterwards because I needed to get home to view the internal recorded video to see if I made a good shot or not, I finally got the correct cable to be able to view my recorded video with my phone in the field.
There were times that I swore they...
Your going to need to open a Rumble or U tube account to upload the recorded video link for posting.
Identical twins sounds expensive and hopefully you'll get it accomplished before the fall season starts.
I always steer new reloader's to pistol loading videos first, as they give a basic and not so anal and drawn out loading procedure to follow.
Case prep, size case/deprime, seat primer, add powder, seat bullet/crimp, shoot.
Tailoring a load to a rifle is fun, but not everyone has the time or...
I'm on call this weekend, the weather sucks and my thermion XG50 is at pulsar getting a checkup, so yesterday I decided to dive right into seeing if I could remove the barrel extension, so I can rebarrel my rifle with a lightweight CF barrel.
After removing the .243 barrel with the extension, I...
Get the scope mounted, load dialed in and data recorded, so you can get a custom turret label made.
After that, focus on getting to any range to get some trigger time in and maybe visiting a PRS or F class match to see what it's about in person.
If you don't have a long distance range available...
If it's aggressive, drop it, but consider that it's the time of the year that furry animals are shedding their winter coats, so they all look pretty mangy now.
Got my CPX2 slide with CT 5Moa dot last week and finally got the time to get into it last night.
Right off the bat it's not a drop in slide, as after I swapped the barrel and recoil spring, I had issues with the new slide binding before going into battery.
With a little tap it did go into...
While I prefer iron sights, my eyes aren't getting any better, so I purchased this slide/red dot combo for my CPX2 as a cheap way to compare them.
SCY RD Slide
It has a 3.5 moa dot and others have recommended that I might like a 6 moa dot better, so I'll see how it looks and go from there.
Plans for three more shooting bays are in the works, but measurements need to be checked to make sure that there's enough space to fit them and
a buffer safety zone between the rifle range.
Either way, two or three more bays will be a welcomed addition and make the club better suited to host...
Dropped two more last night/this morning.
First female at the farm on the first set of the night and a friend dropped a small male on the first set at a preserve.
Do you hunt from a tree stand, ground blind or still hunt ?
While it's great practicing off hand, you should always look for a rest to make the most accurate shot.
Deer don't always play by the rules and offer a kill shot right away and you'll find that that Mdl 629 will get very heavy if you...
The school district probably would've given him a commendation if they found out that he helped the students load the weapons before a mass shooting !
This is just another example of the "Woke" leadership ruining our country and to think these imbeciles are in charge of teaching and the safety...
My friend that I've been showing the ropes too finally dropped one 3/6 Pm.
Took awhile for him to let them come in close enough to kill one.
This is the lone male we called the yapper, as after my friend missed it two separate times, it would sit in the next field over and yap at us.
We set up...
The Russian troop escalation went on for months and the invasion timeline was given, yet nothing was done to avoid it and now everyone's asking questions ?
A little to late to point fingers now and civilians in the region knew what was coming, so if they didn't leave when they had the chance...
I'll be heading up to the farms to hunt tomorrow PM after visiting my cousin.
Farmers said the calves are dropping and the coyote are prowling.
They've seen a couple during daylight hours.
Got a lot of coyote action on the trail cams and even had a friend shoot one yesterday night by a bait pile...
With a layer of fresh snow, I'm planning on going out tonight to a few locations that have recent coyote activity on the bait pile cell cams.
After dropping my rifle and missing shots at 50 yards in two stands, I called the last hunt early, being I didn't have a backup rig available to keep...
You need to get those farmers making trails to and around your stands with their tractors.
The coyote will be walking the same trails, right into your lap.
I'm more worried about breaking my ass slipping on ice, but I'm going to give it a go tonight, if I don't get called for work.
Next weekend...
Been shooting poly coated bullets since they came out.
I'd say I've gone through at least 30,000 when I was shooting shooting comps with 38 spcl, 9mm, 40 cals.
I plink with Acme 350 grn 500 S&W poly bullets.
Blue, acme, egg, missouri, sns, DG .......
Have had no issues with either brand using...
