**Gun Enthusiast Thread**

A few years ago my dad gifted my wife and I matching Ruger lcp's .380 - I've never liked shooting it and they mostly sat in the gun safe. Just didn't feel right in my hand because it's so small. Last weekend I had to dress up for an outing and my normal carry gun was printing way too much and was obvious so I left it at home which I'm not a fan of, kept thinking all night how I wish I had a holster for the Ruger to be able to grab a smaller gun for these type of occasions. I found this hogue sleeve online and bought it along with an extended mag, complete game changer for this little pistol. It now feels good in my hand, went to the range and it feels like a different gun now. Needless to say I have a holster for it on the way. Certainly not going to be in a regular daily rotation but for times when I need something small it's going to do me right. For $14 the hogue sleeve is totally worth it.

My wife has the ec9s. I like the feel of it way better than dad's lc380.

Vedder holsters came through once again with a very high quality holster for the .380. at 1.1 pounds with 8 rounds and the holster it's going to be perfect for when I need it. Can barely tell it's there being so light. My normal daily is a Kimber r7 mako and that weighs about 2.5 pounds with the holster (13+1)

that is my friend's son's and he was hitting the ar500 target dead-on at 120 yards.......as he was months ago with same set up. After multiple range days, storage, car rides, etc....still holding zero fine.

Dudes that have sold guns before, how did you go about finding a buyer?? I have a sig p229 sas I want to sell, bought it for around $700 back in ~2005. Never liked it and it's just been sitting in my safe, there's nothing wrong with it and it's been reliable every time I've shot it, just heavier and bigger than my normal preference. I brought it to my local shop to try and sell it and they lowballed me hard and offered $50 of in-store credit. I'd rather it sit in my safe unfired till I die than sell it for $50. Any advice?

Local gun enthusiasts forum. I only sell to people who can produce a CCW, I take a photo of that and their DL, and require a bill of sale. GunBroker is an option too, but the fees are expensive. I've used Armslist in the past, but all I get is spam texts lately, and it's like $7.99 a month.

This...what the Cap'n said.....we have vaguntraders here in VA and it's a forum for local VA personnel to buy/sell through FFLs (a few years ago didn't even need an FFL).
