Not yet. The last two I took had mama around and she wasn't happy but stayed back in the trees. Getting a thermal scope for my next night out and can be on the offense vs sit-n-wait.

Ok. Never had to worry about snakes before, so take your word for it. Myself though, I fricking hate snakes, like really hate them, so you bet I'd be going for overkill. Want them dead twice over lol. Especially those types of snakes. Do you carry anti venom with you too?

Now this is a thread I can get into.

I'll kick off my collection with one of my more recent buys. PSA 300BO pistol. The family got me a SigSauer Romeo 5 for it as a gift. I don't have any pics of the can on it, but I also did a 90% stamp suppressor for this which works great with subsonic loads.

Had some run up on us early in the morning when still dark during turkey season. They were grunting in some real thick grass so couldn't hear them, but couldn't have been more than 10-15 yards away. Me being a dumbass only had the 12 gage with right arm and holding flashlight with left hand. Not sure bird shot would have done anything but was ready to pull the trigger and blow out the shoulder if they charged.

Buddy had some run up on them last weekend, wife shot one and was pretty stoked. Bastard took about 3 shots before it finally gave up.

One of the guys at my work only hunts them with a .458 SOCOM after a bad run in with them. I've heard it's sketchy to have them charge you.

Check out POVHunting's IG. They've got several videos of people getting charged, even with dogs on the hogs' heels. Talk about an adrenaline rush

Wow that's some crazy shit there.

[upstatedoc]

eh, I don't have IG

threaded barrel came in for the 22. Stuck a 9mm suppressor on it to test fit. Gotta grab one of my 22 suppressors and back to the range. I only shot 15 rounds with the original barrel just to test it last night. I'm back to work Saturday night so I'll hit the range then.

SigSauer P229 I picked up on a steal of a deal when the local Gander Mountain closed. At the same time I also picked up another P365, but this one was the NRA edition in desert tan.

I'm a sucker for a Sig, especially when they are on sale Every handgun I own is a Sig.

Love me P228 and would never part with it. Picked it up in 90 or 91 but it has probably fewer than 500 rounds downrange. I should clean it and go shooting. The problem with rare guns is when it's time to go I tend to grab the one that can be replaced.

That 229 must be a blast to shoot, the 365 has been proven to be a great carry weapon. Enjoy

The 229 is pure dope, own one and love it more than the Glocks or the older 225.

I have a P228 also. It was my first ever firearm purchase.

I have also always been a big sig fan. When I was looking for my first new handgun purchase as a very young man, I handled a 226 and loved it. I knew there was no way I could afford it at that time, but I vowed to own one someday.

I now own a 226 40 s&w, a320 compact, and a 365 sas. I enjoy every single one of them for certain situations.

I've honestly held a gun once in my life when hunting.

You and me both, brother.

I've often pondered what kind of firearm i'd use if i encountered one of those venomous assholes in the backyard (other than shrieking like a little girl...that's a given)

Grips arrived. Ready to surprise my son for his 15th birthday at the end of the month. For those that don't know, it's from the Resident Evil video games.





Not an exact replica but in the style of Chris Redfield. Lots of different things went into this one. My old Brig modified with:
Slide engraving and coating by Middlebranch Machine.
G decoker with right side delete by WAL.
Barrel in CPII by CCR.
NP3 trigger and Optimized Trigger Bar from LTT.
Elite hammer and extended mag release from Beretta.
Grips by Collector Design Works.

I have grips coming from DS Grips as well. Working on another Beretta for those.

Anyway, it’s an M1 Socom 16” with the Sage aluminum chassis (EBR). I cannot wait to go fire this thing, God bless America.

I concur. My M1A 308 screams freedom.
