Well my Hellcat was stolen out of my truck Sunday night.
They hit our neighborhood and the one next to us.
Have a few videos and sheriff knows who they are.
Soooo I’m in the market for another EDC.
Looking at the Kimber .380 or Micro 9.

Not trying to be an ass with the question, but did you just forget your gun in the truck or do you regularly leave a firearm in your vehicle unsecured? I'd start with a good truck safe if you are leaving it in the vehicle.

I live outside the city. There are only 59 houses in our subdivision. If I’m working from home I might not see a car pass all day.
I moved my truck toward the end of the driveway so some of the neighborhood kids could play basketball and simply forgot to lock it.

My neighbor 3 houses down had his taken too. Funny thing is they left his wallet and watch. I had an IPad and a laptop in mine.

Maybe you should ask some of those neighborhood kids if they know anything about it?

Just ordered one of these from GaG (has a $100 rebate)…..

Did you order the 3” or the longer one? Curious about how it compares to the SP101.

Ordered the 4.25” version. ($148 less than the 3”)
It weighs only 2.5 ounces more than the 5 round SP snubby, and the muzzle blast should be less.
It’s not for carry.

Gunsmith Recommendation?  I need to have a gunsmith do a little work on my Sig/Hammerli Trailside .22 LR pistol.

I live in The Woodlands, but anyone in the greater Houston area would work.  A gunsmith in the Austin Metroplex would be fine also.

Thanks.

Ditto. Need some simple work done on my son’s old 12 ga in Austin.

Call AJ at Blackjack in cedar park.

Or Troy at a red Wolf in Burnet

What needs to be done?

Might try the guys at Athena in Houston.

Anyone have a go to for hard to find parts?

I have a stainless pre-Taurus Rossi M971 357 mag that needs a new crane. 
 

I’ve ordered a couple off the internet but they don’t fit. 
 

Suggestions appreciated

Late to this, but @Handcruser sent me to Blackjack and I was very happy with their work on my ... Tec-9.

Bullshit. I clicked on that link, and it wasn’t “some time with some righteous titties.”

I already pay for that now.

Hammerli MIGHT just be the sexiest, best pistol ever made.   This and the P210.

Meaning the Trailside?  Had a bad rep for durability, but it's a bullseye/target pistol, not a truck gun.

Along the same line.

Current production is said to be less than great, but the old ones are lovely.

The older Sigs were/are pieces of art.  The beforementioned P210 is just a amazing pistol all around.  Again, not truck guns.  Not meant to be.

Just picked the new Colt up. 
It sure is a lot smoother than my SP101s

Took delivery of my new PSA Mixtape yesterday. Have already ordered the Maxim Defense buttstock and will be SBRing it after the new year. Might as well save $200. Also picked up the Silencerco Scythe Ti. I made sure to do this before the new year and gladly paid the $200 tax stamp fee. I walked into the gun shop and plopped the credit card down on 12/9 and picked it up on 12/16. Paperwork was actually submitted on 12/12. First titanium can and I'm impressed. Makes a big difference with weight on the front of the gun. Looking forward to unleashing it on pigs, coons, and other vermin. 20251219_144656.jpg

Oh HELL yes, brother. Glad you also saw the light and got what you needed before the madness of the new year.

I only have titanium on the 22LR but it might as well be nonexistent with the weight difference. When it makes sense, likely this time next year earliest, I’ll be grabbing a few more for the big boys.
