  1. Thought I would go a different direction with a gun thread. The most disliked, and why. I'm sure not all will agree, but state your reasons and maybe someone agrees. Maybe someone is considering buying a gun you dislike and doesn't know it has the issues you experienced.

     

    For me, it's the Ruger LCP .380. This little gun just doesn't do it for me. I had one and it worked as it should. Except the issue with failure to feed. I feel the angle to the chamber from the magazine is too steep for hollow points. I did some work on the feed ramp to reduce the angle and it only helped a little. So i decided to just use ball ammo. It was ok, but still had issues from time to time.

    Aside from that, this small hand gun produces a lot if recoil. I know how it's put together. I understand why it does kick as it does. I just don't like it. I have seen several people get this as their first gun and not have much time shooting anything before it. Yet, this is the gun they have now. It's a challenging little gun to try and hit the target.

     

    My Aunt is an impressive shot with her lcp .380. However i put one mag through it and gave it back to her. No fun to shoot at all.

  2. My grandfather fought Parkinson for 15 years, 5 of which was a rough road. He passed away at the young age of 69. He had a terrible fall as well which landed him in the hospital and finally to the nursing home. He passed away about 6 months after his fall.

     

    Be with him through these next weeks, spend as much time as you can with him. Even if he is sleeping, say your peace to him and anything you may want to talk about. If he is in a state like my grandfather was he most likely cant talk very well. However he can listen, share your favorite stories of times you two spent together. It may not seem like much but it will help and most likely mean the world to him.

  3. Challenge accepted
