I have not carried extra mags, since my XDM holds 16+1 .40 S&W JHP. I think 17 rounds should be enough for a "routine" self defense situation (not that there is anything routine about discharging a firearm in self defense). Although, I do have a double-stack mag holder that I use when I head out to the range.For those of you who carry concealed, do you carry an extra magazine as well? I do, since my gun only holds 7+1 rounds. If you do, how so? For those of you who don't, how come?
I have a beautiful rifle chambered in .270 Remington, and I feel that would be sufficient for all sorts of game, small and large.here is a hunting question for any hunters we may have..
30-06 vs 300 win mag and why...
I am trying to decide on what caliber rifle to buy and practice with so I can give it a try next season..
I want sort of a do it all kinda rifle so I can hunt whatever (larger game, not talking rabbits or birds here haha!)
How often do you hunt things larger than deer? I guess you would have to take that into consideration. What will the rifle be used for primarily? If you will hunt mostly larger game, them you may consider a .30-06.I would agree that a .270 would be a greart gun for small game and up to a deer, but a .270 will not take down an elk in 1 shot unless its a PERFECT shot.. You will usually have to get in 1-3 more shots as its running away.
At least that's what I leaned in my research.
I do with my .45, even though it holds 10+1. I usually wind up leaving it in the car, or in my back pocket, opposite my wallet. I don't carry it as much, cause it is a mid size S&W M&P45 with 5 inch barrrel. Even with the IWB holster it 's hard to conceal, and I wear loose oversize shirts. It's also heavy and wears on me after a while.For those of you who carry concealed, do you carry an extra magazine as well? I do, since my gun only holds 7+1 rounds. If you do, how so?

They are pretty fun to shoot. Nowadays they have pre-packaged loads and all you have to do it add the loads, wadding and the ball (bullet) and you are basically ready to to go.Anyone own a muzzle loader? I was at Cabellas and I couldnt believe they had muzzle loaders for less than $200, that seems very cheap, for that price I might be willing to give one a try..
