    Yeah, full face. But I ride with the visor cracked most of the time for extra airflow and it's loud.

    I ride in the state with the highest elderly population in the country, in an area with a huge Somali immigrant population. Believe you me, I know all about the dangers of riding, haha!

    But bringing it back to firearms, I do have a handy inside pocket on my riding jacket for my CCW.

    She did a good job with them, I'm pleased with how they turned out. They are comfortable. What did you think of the last chantilly show?

    Definitely worth it, I like them more than muffs or foam plugs

    This reminds me i need to see if its even possible to draw mine (from appendix) with my motorcycle gloves on. I know i can get the jacket out of the way no problem but the gloves have pretty thick fingers.

    Took my new (to me) AR out and shot with some friends today, shoots great! Hitting half lb bottles of tannerite from 60ish yards was a lot of fun!

    Ear plugs don't eliminate all the noises around you, they block out the wind noise.

    It is close to putting the windows up on your car when on the highway. Truthfully even with plugs in I feel like I can still hear more of my surroundings then when I'm in the Taco with the window up, most definatly more in tune to my surrounding then if there is a radio on

    I feel like with plugs in I am less distracted, less fatigued and more comfortable on the bike

    Of course things like this are a personal decision that we all have to make.

    Although this isn't a motorcycle thread

    Love my electronic muffs when shooting pistol, but anything rifle they are just too big. The foamies have been fine so far, but can be a pain of in too long

    Do the silicone plugs Make your ears feel full? Sometimes if I put the foam plugs in a bit too far they make my ears feel full and almost a bit nauseous. Not a problem on the range but is an issue under a helmet (but this isn't a motorcycle post )

    We have gun shows fairly regularly around here. I think I'll head up and see if I can find a tart to put things in my ears

    With the Mosin surplus drying up and many falling to the drill and saw, my all original $150 purchase 1.5 years ago has doubled. Maybe in a few more years I can flip it for a CMP.

    Looking at picking up some ammo for my 556 to thoroughly break it in.
    I found 556 steel case wolf for 24.5 cents a round shipped, should I get it?
    And of course the obligatory pic of the 556.

    I've had my baby browning for about 5 years. Never shot it. Probably the only gun I own that I haven't shot. Early '60s production.

    Unless it's Unfired and you want to save it as such, shoot it. They are actually really good little shooters. Unfortunately the baby browning in my picture is my mothers, I gave it to her for her birthday one year and didn't shoot it before I did....turns out I like it lol

    I'm gonna shoot the little beretta tomorrow afternoon

    It's in great shape, but I'm sure it's been fired. I've simply never picked up any 25 ACP. Too many other calibers in the stable! I thought at one time I wanted to collect a great example of the 25/380/9mm Brownings. I never got around to it. I think I gave $350 for it at the time, with a zippered case. No clue what they go for these days. Not much more, I'd think.

    Mines in a similar condition, I've seen them between 350 and 450

    Buy a box or two just to have and try to shoot it, I was quite surprised by how mine shot
