What are y’all’s thoughts on a Glock 41 Gen 4 and a Glock 21 Gen 5?…..For a Gnome, I have big hands. No Tactico Gnomo homo!

FFL, former R/LEO, and long time gun afficiando. You can't beat the Glock for reliability. Ugly and blocky as hell, but it's one of the few guns I'd reach for if my life was on the line.

G41 Gen4 is a competition gun, so I personally wouldn't use it for CCW due to the extra length. Basically the same width, height, and weight as the G21 Gen5 MOS, but with a longer slide (+20MM).

If you're looking to carry it and want a .45 AUTO, go G21.

With advances in ammo, I personally prefer the G19 for my everyday carry. Lighter, shorter, and significantly larger capacity in an easier to carry package. I have large hands (nohomo) and have zero issues, as it's only 2MM narrower and 12MM shorter than the G21 Gen5 MOS, but is 245g lighter when the magazines are full.

Whichever way you go, my only real advice is: There is no substitute for practice.

Just got an email from the ATF. My Dead Air Mask was finally approved. Still waiting on one more to get approved. Already trying to decide on my next suppressor.

Soooo I have my dads old H&R handy rifle 30-06 single shot when he passed in 22’ it was his last deer rifle he bought after he handed down to me over 20yrs ago his beloved 03’ sporterized Springfield 30-06 that Ive taken many of deer with since I was 15 to present. Anyway, took the handy rifle up to deer camp last year just to check it out cuz my cousin (a Sargent on the sherifs dpt) use to sight it in for the old man before season each year cuz it kicked like mile and my dad always called my cousin Taklebery from police academy cuz of his size and being a sniper on swat and his arsenal of guns lol.
After looking theough the scope it was a blur and the scope was Fubar. The old man must have bumped it or something while
He was ill. So I took it home. This yr decided to get a new scope for the mule. Didnt have to look far cuz i upgraded the 03’s scope 5 yrs ago for more power and eye relief. So i put the old one from the 03’ still good (Bushnell Sportsman) on the Handy rifle with the over under scope mounts that made a world of difference to get the hammer down compared to the ones he had before. So Im gonna take it to the range tomorrow and get the mule dialed in and hunt with it this year. The old man lives on and is always with us at camp. I miss him alot but Im also at peace with him being gone cuz he is no longer in pain and i have no regrets the time I spent with him.
He would Be proud once I take another deer with that rifle. Im sure ill feel his presence behind me every time I pull the trigger at the range or in the blind.

Those were great guns for the money.

Doesn't get any more reliable than a single shot. I have an H&R in 35 Whelen

Finally got a chance after work to visit my dealer and pick up my Mask. Put another can in jail while I was there also. An Otter Creek Polonium 30 this time.

Picked up my new NON Liberty safe yesterday! Its a small Stack On Executive for my SBRs and pistols. Left my parents place, drove 2hrs home, realized I forgot the key to set the code. Now my new safe sits in my shop, tightly locked, and empty. lol

Stock up men. Ammo prices starting to increase.

Picked up a Beretta APX Carry for my daughter on a PSA fire sale. They were $179 with the sale price and a mail in rebate... for a Beretta! The single stack clip is perfect for small hands.

In February I picked up a Stoeger STR-9 for me also on a fire sale. I really like the safety trigger on the Stoeger. It has a very predictable release.

@Backwoods would really like that safe, with the fully carpeted interior and all ...

Had another tax stamp approved yesterday, so I picked the can up today, since they're closed on Mondays. Of course I had to put another can in jail while I was there. An Omega 9 handgun can this time.
