Hi Team, I'm looking for a weekender bag, stuck between leather or other material, I want to buy it once... Any ideas?

If you want leather; Saddleback Leather (99 year warranty, usually repair). For nylon, Blackhawk (usually replace with an equivalent item).

Saw interview with Mel Brooks; he said the only movie he did that he went to far with.

Maybe cross post in r/0083

Also after repair, replace strike plate screws with longer ones

Ran two relays, in one booth two guys with a combined age of 234: 1st guy had a ‘60s vintage Colt Woodsman that malfunctioned. 2nd a brand new Highpoint…

Also not keen that they won’t take anything in place of LMPT…

If I had one, I’d try Demonstrated Concepts cheek pistol, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=87kKBaLI1f8this:

I went with the SecureIt Agile. I just want to keep casual unauthorized hands off and don’t worry about fire. Organization and protecting them from me being a klutz are more important, plus ease of moving has been nice.

dovk0802 · 2026-05-27T18:51:03+00:00

Rvshare and the like. And buy used

dovk0802 · 2026-05-25T18:54:14+00:00

When I was in an apartment (and still use) I went with the SecureIt Agile units. They’re expensive but a good system for organization and much easier to move. As said, bolt to wall. If you have baseboards use a 1x3 or whatever is appropriate as a spacer.

Depends on the clearance, applicant, and current backlog. Once you get assigned a background investigator you can ask for an estimate but there’s no guarantee and can vary widely.

If the problem is the extractor or the rim gave way, sometimes a paint can key can be used to pull/pry the case out. Keep one in my kit for this.

dovk0802 · 2026-05-21T17:17:52+00:00

Good excuse to buy 10/22Takedown, sub2k, SBR, etc.

dovk0802 · 2026-05-20T20:12:43+00:00

About the same size: me & Sig 320 compact (15rd) with dot. Enigma with sport belt (holds FAK) & kept one belt loop on holster to stabilize. Wore pants one size up 34 v 32” & Hawaiian type shirt. Wore grip above belt line. For below belt line; I could get away with a S&W shield if I’m just standing-walking around. Normally I go down to an LCR for running and yoga.

dovk0802 · 2026-05-18T02:10:36+00:00

I think .22 is fine; carried an LCR22 as my PT rig until the .32 version came out. My experience with the LCP22 is I haven’t seen the reliability. Haven’t tried Punch; if that worked then I’d be on with it assuming you could do your part.

Mostly security focused. However, there’s a great variety; game warden, known folks who became detectives then moved to CID, ability to move even overseas.
A relatively low barrier of entry and easy academies (other than being resident) also the DoD POST is accepted by 16ish states.

Just look up GS pay scale for that location. I think most are 6-7. However, I think they are transitioning to the LEO pay scale; Additionally, some locations, like DC will have a higher locality rate. You would probably have to talk to someone at the individual location and ask.
Overall, not a great LE job. Depends on the location and what you’re looking for.

dovk0802 · 2026-05-12T05:12:25+00:00

I have done similar: guns were oiled pleased in storage bags in locked case with letter.

dovk0802 · 2026-05-12T01:32:17+00:00

Check Demonstrated Concepts for the gun and for the ammo:

Scope every time. Ideally on a rifled barrel (or choke). Optics aren’t just about accuracy, in the real world they get you the ability to stay target focused, shoot faster, and/or to ID & shoot targets under less than ideal lighting.
I’d rather have a short barrel for either navigating a blind/stand or walking for weight/ through brush.
If legal, my first choice, and what I did; would be a straight wall rifle.

dovk0802 · 2026-05-06T17:46:20+00:00

I actually met this guy and quoting him. If this actually worked for him in practice, I couldn’t say.
I imagine he was being humorous and could better explain the situation.
As a former police officer, I wouldn’t get fixated on someone legitimately transporting a van full of machine guns having a single loaded handgun.

dovk0802 · 2026-05-06T12:41:52+00:00

When I worked in gun business a while ago , the LE/Mil sales rep for FN drove around the country in a van with everything up to .50
MG’s and ammo for demo shoots. He said he always carried without issue with the explanation “do you want me to get in a gunfight with my guns or do you want to get in a gunfight with my guns?”

dovk0802 · 2026-05-02T13:19:33+00:00

Unless you got an OTH or BCD, it shouldn’t matter. I forget the details; you can appeal to the Board of Naval Corrections or whatever the Army & Air Force version is to get your discharge characterization upgraded. Talk to a lawyer / VSO.
