Well Just removed the G-30 with the Kydex holster and spare 10 round mag of Remington 185 grain Golden Sabers.  It carries well in the waistband and will carry the G-29 just as well. The extra mag fits nicely along side my wallet in my pants pockets.
My older Kydex holster gave out after many years of carry.  However I did find a good replacement that almost matches and wears as well.
These are older pics of the G-30 in the JS IWB



This is the new IWB Badger Holster



These days in my shirt pocket I carry several sizes of Band-Aids because being on Eliquis and older skin is thinner I get some tears that bleed because of the blood thinners. 
Also pants pocket of paper napkins just in case of any accidental punctures.
Small Swiss knife, cash, change, keys, fob
List of medications
Ink Pen
Reading glasses
Plastic toothpick
Mint or cinnamon disk
Cell phone in its own holster (that old flip phone in the pictures above is long gone)

 

This was just a little April Fools gesture! 

Grabbed for this one right here...







Well knowing what today is...

Thank you for all you have done Mitch, as the forum is moving forward, and hope people will take it to heart as they participate in community.

Intercooler has been doing some things like traveling and taking lots of photos which he posts on FB.
He & his wife actually made a trip down to Louisiana and we managed to have a meet and greet one evening which was great.  He did so much sending the cartridges back then to add to the documentations.  With the cost of that type of ammo I wound up putting many rounds back together and shipped a bunch back for his use.

I'm trying to promote the forum even through private messenger contacts.

Out with March and welcome to April.  Many things will be happening here in the USA as President Trump pushes forth tariffs in the effort to bring back manufacturing back into the USA and or level the playing field with the world!

I'm hoping we may see better prices for powder and primers as they have been jacked up beyond reasonable.  Another thing is Hodgdon has taken up most of the other brands except Alliant and Shooter's World powders.

We are seeing 8 lb jugs $120 over what they were just a few years ago.
Primers have started to come down some, at one time the primers were $120, $100 per 1K and now seeing them down from that to $60 to $80 although some are still higher.

When we factor in shipping and hazmat fees it makes things disproportionate!
So, shopping local tends to make sense if things can be found.

I just continue looking for a deal here or there hopefully...

Adding to my previous post about my left eye since I started with issues I have had 13 injections in my eye to help with the area around the optic nerve.  I will at some point have to have a cataract surgery on that one.

This little Bear Creek Arsenal 10mm 16" carbine is side charging and accepts Glock 10mm magazines!
Shown with the SGM 30 round magazine and the PINTY 2.5 x 10 x 40 with illuminated reticle and laser.

Thanks for the reply John!

Very interesting  John!
I have considered getting a heavier Buffer for my Bear Creek Arsenal 10mm.  They mentioned the buffer was 9 oz???
I'm considering the KVP 10oz Tungsten Blowback Buffer for mine.
However another person (Jeff) mentioned they went with a 11 oz buffer and a 308 carbine buffer heavy spring.  However, mention who he purchased that from.

Therefore I'm sort of still looking

John August Taffin (May 2, 1939 – March 10, 2025) was an American author from Boise, Idaho who wrote several columns for gun magazines including Guns, Gun Digest, Sixgunner, Shoot!, and American Handgunner.

A while back American Handgunner magazine had their 45th anniversary. As part of the celebration they took a Cimarron Frontier 45 1873 Colt 4.75" which John Taffin got as a donation back in January 19th 2021.
Mr. Taffin did some testing using the pistol using ammo from Black Hills and CCI Trail Blaser.

John's target test.


American Handgunner did a Giveaway Sep/Oct 2021 after they had this little revolver Engraved and Gold Inlay by Baron Technology


I was selected the giveaway winner of this beautiful 45th anniversary pistol...So here is my tribute to remember Mr. Taffin.

Very nice!  Still all good comparison!  Drilled them!

I hear ya John A.  Hornady makes great bullets for the 10mm/40 cal.
There are some Barnes TAX-XP that would do some good work as well.

I really need to get my new Bear Creek Arsenal 10mm carbine out and run some various ammo through it to see how things work out!  It's a neat carbine with a 16" BBL

I watch the GunBroker listings and the Bren Tens that come up there are over 10K and even 12K starting bids.  Some people have ponied up some big bucks over the years buying the ones that they could.

Oh well I doubt we will see any more attempts given that people were taken advantage of and loss of funds.

Some of the 10mm guys may have been in on these attempts to try and obtain a remake of the iconic Bren Ten firearm.

Over the years there were companies and people who were advertising to produce the CLONE of the Bren Ten firearms.
First was the VLTOR/FORTIS starting around March 2008 which dragged on and never happened...

Then there was the CSP (Combat Service Pistol) which Chuck took on February 17, 2018 and he got into a legal situation and that project died as well.  Yes, people lost some downpayment moneys.

Then the latest was the Founders Circle as headed up by Stu, Dec 6th 2021. This goose chase lasted till recently into May 2024 to which he was arrested in this fraudulent case.  It was an outright scam from the start so it seems.

Long stories to each of these and those who had hopes and dreams of getting a quality firearm slated as a Bren Ten Clones and yes, several people lost lots of money as they put up for these projects.  This one remains tied up in court cases for now.

I will say I was one who had followed each of these attempts and yes, I also lost some money.
Live and learn!

If anyone wishes to learn more, I have a bunch of documented materials for each of these that I participated in with my busted dreams!

I use separate steps
