I sold the Shield X and replaced it with an MP2.0 Compact 4". I was disappointed in the Shield X performance. Too snappy compared to the Shield Plus.
I ordered another Shield Plus. This will be my EDC.

I acquired a Ruger Scout chambered in .308 along with a Rhodesian-style sling. I installed a sling mount into the synthetic stock. I do not intend to attach a scope to this rifle. I will utilize the factory iron sights. This will serve as my "brush gun" and the firearm I transport on my UTV. 

My everyday carry is an MP Shield X 9mm in an OWB holster at the 3:00 position.
The blacked out U shaped rear sight took some getting used to.

I sold the Ruger Scout. I am going to get a Ruger 77/44 chambered in .44 Magnum

No tax stamp required starting January 2026

@Deezer Shoove  3 day total waiting time for approval. Tax free
 

On my hip, I carry "Big Iron", a Ruger Blackhawk 5.5" 44LC with "hot" SM Bear Load .45 Colt, 325gr Wide Flat Nose Gas Check ammo. This will stop any two legged or four legged vermin, including a bear.   

I like my shotguns as well. 

Not gun related, I highly recommend Carbon Fiber Knuckles. I had mine custom sized, I have very large hands.

I used to see something advertised as "Sap Gloves". As a young man I wondered what those were because they seemed pricey and the description was vague. Then there would be a fit problem because gloves need to be tried on the work right. So I never got them and forgot about it. Went to a gun show years ago and saw them in a booth so I had to check it out. Leather gloves with what seemed like lead bird shot sown into the back of the fingers just below the knuckles. If you swung at a face it would be a real bitch. Concealed brass knuckles more or less.

I fired my 12.5" AR-10 using Federal .308 Win 150gr Power-Shok ammunition into a gel block, and the resulting wound channel is described as "extremely devastating". The cavitation from the entry wound extends nearly three-quarters of the way through the block. The projectile barely penetrated the opposite side, leading me to estimate a total penetration of 16 inches. What did exit was "remarkable". The expansion was substantial. I have obtained the tax stamp for this firearm, avoiding any complications associated with a "brace" for those with disabilities. It is equipped with a B5 stock. I keep this weapon in my vehicle at all times, as one can never predict an encounter with a bear or vermin of two legged varieties. The concussion is "sick" and the fireball is "glorious". Anyone interested in build specs, PM me. I highly recommend the LANTAC E-BCG as well. This is a sweet SHTF battle rifle/vehicle gun.

I was going to look into get blocks. Do you make your own or buy them already formed? Are they able to be reheated and molded back into a usable block? I need an education on this.

Mrs wants you to clean up your Sanford and Son firing range?

I would think clay in a bag would work?

I buy my supplies from clearballistics.com. You simply melt, recast, reuse. This gel is a little different from "gelatin" block. There are recipes on the internet to make your own, and Ibelieve you can find the forming molds on Amazon. I use the 10% blocks

Your thinking is uninformed garbage. Keep your fake playing to yourself. Enjoying shooting as a hobby isn't something you could grasp.

We have an air pistol and have a great time in the backyard.

Supposedly the IDF has armed drones and target children in Gaza.

I was trying to help with low cost gel blocks.. You can educate yourself Plum Bob..

Trying? Bringing up an irrelevant topic like Gaza shows that your marriage to stupid politics far outweighs any sense of camaraderie in the Gun Club. Try acting less like a tantrum filled child.
