Fotis, just recently I purchased a pair of Pro Ears Gold 11- 26 for roughly 200.00. A couple of very interesting adjustments are included and the microphones are crisp and quite adjustable. Might be worth a shot. They also have a cut in the lower part of the earpiece for recoil purposes.

I believe my Leica's were the Trinovid. (my son has them now as He has taken over the Elk Hunting). I don't know offhand what my Buddy's Swarovski's are. I do know that he paid dearly for them.

Jim, I had to chuckle over your comment. A good friend of mine purchased a pair of 10X42 Swarovski's and had been using them a couple of years for Elk hunting. As far as he was concerned they were the cat's meow and there was nothing better on the market. He paid a "lot" of money for them. Well...

I absolutely love my Model 700 Titanium. It's in 7X08 and shoots lights out at 100 yards (3X4 inch three shot groups) Naked weight is 4 1/2LBS. With a Leupold 2.5X8 and three cartridges in the Blind mag it's just a hair under 6LBS. It's taken many Deer but I've kept it in excellent condition...

My side hustle was quite a bit different that most of the fellas'. I retired from the PD in 1992 and moved to Central East Coast Florida a real short time later. (Connecticut really started going down the toilet). I started out by working in a Hardware store (sold everything under the sun)...

I purchased my Muzzleloader , a Thompson Center 50 caliber percussion cap back in the 80's. (looked like Guy's) Also purchased a Round ball and a Maxi hunter mold to go along with it. Practiced on 50 yard Targets with an 80 Grain load of Pyrodex till I felt comfortable with the recoil. (They do...

I shoot quite a bit of 9mm that I reload and I'm very careful about picking cases up other than mine. I have also found steel cases that are brass in color.

Doc, read you're comment and said to myself at 82 years I'm slowly heading down that road. Thinking back when I was a youngster (70 years) I was still heading to Colorado for my annual Elk hunt and got my first inkling of issues. AFIB creeped up on me and although I fought it I found altitude...

Charlie, within the last year a NJ Supreme Court decision straightened out the hollow point issue and also qualified LEOSA retired non resident police officers carrying within the State. We can thank the NJ police officer's association for getting this issue straightened out. You can now carry...

You are correct Bruce. We can thank the NJ police officer's association for getting that passed in addition to allowing "any" police officer (not just a Jersey Police officer) who is qualified LEOSA to carry in state without getting harrassed. The only sticking point left is the 10 round...

I use the Berry's 124 Grain for my 9MM's. Been through more than a few of them. I do all my shooting outside at this point. When I was a range officer on the PD the Town had built us a new indoor range and tried to save some money by putting in a recirculating air system and of course myself and...

Bruce, you'll be interested in this. I qualified for my HR-218 yesterday and shot my P365XL to insure that I could carry that particular gun. I spoke with the Sergeant in Charge and asked him about the restriction of only carrying the gun you shoot for qualification. Very knowledgeable person...

Jim, my Neice has lost two horses over the years both of which served her admirably. It's a big part of your life that can't be replaced. I've lost animals I have considered part of the family and it's like a piece of your heart leaves with them.

Thanks Bruce, I questioned it because I originally was being certified by an individual who did not use a specific firearm. Now that I'm being qualified by the Sheriff's Department it's a specific firearm that is written down on your card. This is Florida.

I've been reloading for many years with a single stage press. In the past I loaded a "lot" of 45's but now I'm strictly with 9MM. I know it's a lot slower process with the single stage but I normally load 100 rounds at a sitting which takes roughly 1 1/2 hrs. The advantage is when I load 50...
