Stephen, Just wondering if you eventually shoot your old hollow points? The ones in my carry are probably 10 years old now. Thankfully, never had to use it. They are all faded, not shiny like brand new ammo.
PS I hate this forum is slowly dying in favor of stupid Facebook. Long live this place.

Re: Cycle through old ammo
About time I cycle through mine I suppose.
FYI, I got my RAT on the way after this last sale.
I don't know how I'm going to go about training with no one even remotely nearby. Reason I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on it, besides the discount, is I'm thinking I can probably carry it to work and be okay. Work is khakis and dress shirt, sometimes jeans and polo, depending upon meetings. Go attend a boot camp or something later this year or next and that's still a better level then where I'm at now.
Too risky to carry a firearm. Some idiot shot himself on accident while on the shitter. He was fired straight away. Must have not been using a holster or a shitty one. I have complete confidence in my IWB holster.
The group has given me a wake up call of sorts lately. I realized I was l slacking off in some respects. It's an on-going process of checking yourself to make sure you’re not letting your guard down while continuously leveling up. And, I have more than myself to be responsible for now.

Shame, my post above is still the last post in this section. Come on men! To hell with Facebook and start using this site again.
I'm still waiting on my RAT. It's past time they said it would ship.

I wish they would. But looks like forums are almost all dead.
Seeing pics form buds on FB. HH Blades look like arriving now

Re: Cycle through old ammo
Don't know what inspired me to log in tonight but I share both your sentiments. The amount of posts since Fall of 2017 was pretty sparse. Some that had newer dates were responses to threads that had been started 7 years ago. Kudos to DJ for posting responses to some of the new requests even if they were a couple weeks behind.
Man I miss the good ole' forum.
