Love Elvis. Years ago me and the fam would hit up the Mexican place every Thursday for “Elvis” night. Me and the bride would share a fish bowl while my then 2 year old would dance to the impersonator. Good times. Probably the only thing I miss about Louisiana.

Favorite Elvis song?

My mother in law was a poor mill woman who absolutely loved Elvis. Hell, you could start to talk about him 25 years after he died and she would go to pieces.


Just another great artist that was just a overall weirdo. Amazing how many were like that.

I can just barely put my pinky on the Sig P365XL


I had the same issues with the p365 when i originally tested it ... and it affected my accuracy , even at 10 yards. I liked the balance and the action, ... but not the result (poor accuracy at 10/15 yds)

Later , I tested a different p365 that had a Sig extended magazine .... one that has a molded finger extension on the butt of the magazine ... perfect.
Not only did it give me 10 rounds in a compact, but it highly improved the accuracy for me, even out to 20 yards. In my case, I would not own this weapon without the finger-extension extended magazine.

Great info. My hands are fairly large so I will keep that in mind Saturday...

Well I bought 2. Glock P43x with night sights in 9mm







And a Walther P22q Military . Was a impulse buy.






Got a good price on the 43x and happy with that. First gun show I have been to in a loooooong time. I was not surprised that the majority of the show was tactical stuff. If I would have had more money,. I would have bought some accessories for my Springfield Saint. Next time. We have a outdoor range south of my house and Id like to take it down there and shoot it some. Need something other than the iron sights for that.

Now I need to find somewhere to order some .22lr ammo. Was high at the show.


Thanks for the advice.

So I did good on it? LOL. I have never shot one and I got a great price on it.


Like I said above, it was a impulse buy. They had them and I worked a deal on the pair

Not a gun guy but the Walther looks interesting

Got a bushnell trail cam. A little pricey but had a gift card to use. Gonna set it up tomorrow after the ground dries out a little more out there

You’ll love it. Walther in my opinion is the best gun for a reasonable price out of the box. Best factory triggers by far for a budget friendly gun obviously. Sure you can buy a $3000 pistol and get a bettter one but you’ll love the shoot of it.

I have the Walter PPQ chambered in 9mm and it is my favorite full frame pistol… it is my EDC during winter months … a very fun weapon to shoot. The stock trigger is legit ..

Yea, I thought so. Dude really was pumping that one from the store. I thought I also remembered someone here who said it was a good choice as well. Was a great price too. Show price for that .22l was $239.

I may look at one of their 9mm next.




I have a browning and use it all the time in the back yard. Man I have a lot of fun with that thing. Have used it for my last 3 houses for deer, birds, small animals.


You will have a blast with it. I will tell you that I set my videos to 20-30 seconds since I check it often.
