Just want to reintroduce myself. I’m Brad in Marysville. Use to be on here a long time ago and just got back into riding. Had a ninja 250, cbr600 f4i, shadow aero, and now a sv650. Looking for guys/gals to ride with, nice roads/scenery, and good random places to eat lol

Also, if you're truly just killing rats, you can buy a cheap air rifle at Walmart... Ruger even make one.. Like $125 for a good one... You don't need a real gun for rats. I'd buy a nice handgun or shotty for intruders and a little 22 (or 17hmr) for your varmints

The biggest hand cannon you are comfortable shooting. I would assume you would be fine with a good full frame 45. My wife who is not strong and never a gun nut is deadly with ours. I am a huge fan of the FN 45. 16 rounds, not much kick and it is SA/DA. So you can store it decocked and the first shot is a long trigger pull DA. So really safe in the nightstand. Then the second and on is single action, quick short pull. But there are tons of good guns out there. It boils down to what feels good in your hand. For the rodents, depends how far away. A small bore rifle like a 22 if they are far. Shotgun if they are close. Nothing wrong with an AR either for that. And you are covered for zombies.

Shotgun. VR80 is gonna be my next. Pretty much any handgun 9mm or bigger would be fine. I just built a dedicated bump in the night "pistol" though too which is chambered in 300blk which is a very suppressor friendly round.. Which is the end goal. You can't really go wrong here... I think chances of you ever needing said firearm are small enough that if/when you do, anything adequate will be enough. Go buy VR80 shotty and load it with your flavor of round, slap a light on it and call it good.

Utica... I ran from the cops out there once. Hid in those huge grain silos. lolol. Welcome.

It's one thing to know how to do something, it is another to be able to teach it. That is really what MSF instructors excel at. They know how to teach it.

@jacobhawkins Honestly, she should take the beginners course offered by either BMV or MSF. They will teach her EVERYTHING.... And provide the bike. If she hates it you are out less than $100. No bike to purchase, no insurance to worry about etc... If she loves it let her pick her first bike. I took the course and it was less stressful than having my hubby try to teach me. And, it kept us from fighting... I had no bad habits to break and I took my test during the class, no separate fees for a test or worries about setting up a time. She stills a temp. permit before taking the class or you teaching her. A good first bike is a ninja 250 after she learns to ride.

I didn't work on bikes today, but I did begin to organize my tool box. I finished the first two drawers. Only 9 more to go.

Let me know if any of you or someone trusted in town does custom molded kydex owb holsters using your own gun. Looking for something with a fairly strong retention for 2/3 gun competition using an FN 509. Im running an optic as well as extended barrel with compensator.
