nice. real nice.

saw that gun featured on 'top shot' and then read about it.

Yup its also in enemy at the gates and a few other movies, its also the rifle you get in call of duty:world at war when you reach level 21 in multiplayer lol. Oh and its also in call of duty, call of duty 2 and metal gear solid 3 :p

Right now, I just have a Sig Sauer 2022 (love this gun, but I wish I had it in .40 and not 9mm) and a .22 marlin plinker.

My to-get list is long. I am in the process of getting my CCW license, so I am looking at getting a more concealable sidearm. I'm not sure my 2022 is really concealable, and I would like a .40 or higher. What are your guys' thoughts on CCW caliber?

I also am looking at picking up a Mossberg 500 or Remmy 870 for trap/skeet.

I keep thinking I'll get into hunting and get a nice rifle, but that will probably be a while. There are lots of opportunities out here in Colorado for this.

Just got some range time with new .40 Sig Sauer P250-sc (subcompact). Managed to put 200 rounds through it.

Cons: so far my only complaints are the fixed rear sights (dead on out of the box, but still & getting replaced) and the takedown lever was a little stiff. The latter is mainly notable because it's so low profile & absent a "traction bump" - this better for concealed carry so it wont catch on anything. Some synthetic gun grease helped a lot, and I'm sure a little use will take care of the rest.

Pros: everything else.

Indoor range using .40 Winchester 165gr FMJ ammo (full metal jacket)

No malfunctions. Zero. Zip. Period. This thing shoots like a BMW drives.

The double action (DA) trigger is smooth as silk, one of the best DA's I've ever used. While rated at a 5.5 - 6.5 lb pull it feels more like 4 - 4.5. I prefer DA for carrying for the safety reasons.

No significant (or even percieved) muzzle jump; IP = AP. I admit to holding low at first anticipating a little because it's so light (25 oz), but nope. Recoil is well managed, especially for such a light gun.

VERY accurate!! 50 standing 2 hand shots @ 25 yards with all but 4 in the thorax ring in a man target - the other 4 were early shots while holding low that ended up in the abdominal ring. Bench groups ran 3.5" - 4", very good for a subcompact DA with a short barrel & sight radius. Can't wait to try this with the full-size conversion kit.

Carry ammo will be Remington Golden Sabre HPJ (High Performance Jacket) - expensive, but worth it.

Trying out the Federal .40 135 HST created for ICE, the Border Patrol etc. They didn't pick it up and now it's being sold through WalMart and in 155-180 as .40 Tactical HST. Dig the hollow point on this thing compared to a Winchester Ranger T -

So far using water bottles and denim it expands perfectly symmetrical to .82" - a pancake. Huge.

The sigma is my concealed carry and so is the Ruger I carry both at the same time I used to do it as a joke and it became second nature also carry spare mags for each and a pocket knife that was part of the joke.

I had to sell mine because of a legal issue. Sold all the ammo and guns. Hopefully in 2 years or 3 I can rebuy.

I don't know whether I should get 9mm again or go for 40. I had 9 before and invested heavily in it. And bought other 9mm hand guns since I had nothing but 9mm ammo. Now when I get them again I might just figure out what's in stock and buy.

If 40 is in stock and not 9 I'll buy bulk of 40 and .40 pistols. If 9 is in and not 40 I'll buy that.

Gen 4 Glock 23 (replace Glock 19)

Smith and Wesson M&P 40c (replace M&P 9 full size)

And probably pick up a S&W bodyguard 380.

Then tax time, maybe an AR 15.

Sorry to hear about your legal issue... and your guns/supplies are gone.... was it about divorce? If so, I hate that.

 

A friend of mine got divorced and had to sell his favorite 4x4 diesel chevy truck. He keeps telling me that he misses his truck.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
