Firearms: my anti-fap

That's a HUGE deal. Yes, you should learn to shoot with either hand (strong, weak unsupported, supported etc.) But the biggest issue i had when learning to shoot was using the wrong hand. I'm right handed but left eye dominant so i grew up shooting rifles ambidextrously, but mainly lefty. It did not translate into pistol and i was awful. Start out using your strong hand supported to build confidence and good fundamentals, then worry about training your other hand.
Also, most pistols have an ambidextrous control variant or one made for lefties.

 

Impressive list

Impressive list!
Honestly I couldn't tell you off the top of my head, and my dad is keeping that baby locked up tight back home, otherwise I'd go grab it. You can't hunt with a long rifle in this state so I saw no point keeping it here.
I'm torn currently between modifying my shotgun for home defense or making my SKS more tacticool. There are some great options out there for aftermarket stocks, and my current one has no rail attachments.

 

I don't mind using stripper clips, once you're proficient at reloading with them its not a big deal to do it. Not as quick as a detachable magazine, but still better than hand loading.
I do have one detachable 30 round magazine but I don't use it since I only have the one, but I'll probably buy two or three more in the future.
I use a police 870 at work, few people continue to cause trouble once that first round is racked into the chamber. Not like I don't have other weapons to use when ammo is exhausted.

 

Very nice!
Had a great range day yesterday. Took a friend of mine who has little firearms experience. Always rewarding to have someone come in shooting all over the paper and have them leave shooting tighter groups and nailing center mass. Got to break out the ol' SKS yesterday too, forgot what blast it is to shoot that beast, putting 124grain rounds through it feels like shooting an airgun. Decided I'll switch out the stock to my folding stock, still deciding if I'm gonna put tactical rails on it. I'd like to try out a foregrip but after yesterday I don't think it needs it. Don't wanna fool around too much with a good thing.

 

To those of you who carry, what holster do you use/carry style you prefer?
I've been appendix carry with a Blackhawk IWB adjustable holster, but I just got a Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe for my FNX. Fantastic holster, I never thought I'd be able to conceal that beast but with that holster it's almost perfect. Won't work with a tshirt very well but with a tucked in dress shirt it's impossible to notice unless you know what you're looking for.

 

Nothing odd about that! I have a cheap shoulder holster that I consider an "uncle Mike" type holster. Just got it to see how I would like using a shoulder holster. Glad I did, no real applications where I'd rather use a shoulder holster over an IWB holster.

 

Range day today! Mostly for my wife, she's trying to qualify for her carry permit.
We both shot a Smith & Wesson 627 snub nose just to see what 38 special coming out of a 1.8 inch barrel felt like.
The verdict: not fun.
She'll probably just carry my Shield as she's had plenty of practice with it, trusts it and even though the recoil can be a bear, she's plenty accurate with it.
I broke down and got the membership at the range though. I've been holding out for a while but I'm starting to spend a lot more time there since I got a pay bump so this will probably save money... at least that's what I tell myself

 

A 2 year backlog? May I ask what state this is? Most states have a maximum wait time on the books.
I'd say that's a good collection though! I would like to convert my Remington 870 20ga to something more home defense friendly, but after buying a short barrel another hundred dollars would by me a whole new shotgun. I've also thought about turning it into a slug gun. In my state you can only hunt with slug guns and I'm itching to get back out there. Haven't been on a real hunting trip in 4 years!

 

Don't currently have the 30 round magazine attached. Waiting to get more before I commit to using it routinely. Not a gun designed for a 30 round magazine so changes are awkward.

Mine is setup just like this, meant for hunting quail.
