The OP, Derosa, is specifically looking for the names of authors. Yet, some replies instead make reference to video personalities! The main difference between the printed page and online content is that the best writers write for posterity. Their work is worth preserving for future reference...

To answer the OP, Derosa, the answer is: “Nobody”. Why? With the demise of a widespread printed press vetted by expert proofreaders and editorial staff, there is no longer any hope of veracity let alone linguistic eloquence. Technology hasn’t made things better. While “truth” is still out...

Keep in mind that the rear sight is unique as well. It has an extra tall blade with a deep notch. Along with the undercut Patridge front sight it makes for an excellent sight picture. With the right handloads these silhouette model 29s shoot extremely well, especially at long range. PS: a...

Nice find! Those cases are designed for bullseye pistol competitive shooters. Lots of details are specific to that use. Are you familiar with how they are used?

This is nothing new. Youtube has been prone to this sort of thing since its inception. Give an open door, spotlight, or opportunity for idiots and they will take it. Every single time. Youtube is just a symptom. The real problem is societal. Or, maybe it’s just human nature? Our education...

Since you mention the theme from Mannix, here’s a wonderful and surprising transcription for solo piano by French pianist Jean Michel Bernard. It says a lot for the quality of the composition that it can be transformed and adapted so well.

There were not many composers in the 20th century who wrote classical music that actually reached the ears of the general public. Lalo Shifrin was one of them. A great composer who had a knack for working on high quality film scores, as well as genuine “concert” music. He had a diverse musical...

Many forums have been experiencing a decline in participation of its more experienced/knowledgeable members over the past few years. It’s not something unique here. There are many possible reasons. I suspect that when someone goes to the trouble of writing a well worded and informative post...

All talk….

I am sick of the gun industry’s covert war on handloading. If stores can block their aisles with pallets full of 9mm and 5.56 ammo for the tacticool cosplay blasters, then clearly there is a manufacturing capacity to supply primers and powder.

If it’s truly NIB, then you don’t have to worry about its past history/use. Shoot it with standard velocity ammo and that gun will be your friend for life! I’m assuming it’s the gun you show in the attached photos? It looks fantastic! If you were to buy one of the newly manufactured High...

Moderators? How is this thread not yet closed?

To which I would add, most 9mm shooters are also the guys who leave the range a stinking mess for someone else to clean up! 😡

We must go to the same range!

What a fun thread! It really shows how far out in left field the fireams world has become. Of all the possible cartridges, if you went back in time 50 years nobody would guess how things have changed! I go out of my way to shoot calibers that are “obsolete” (what a ridiculous term)...
