    Ultimate trail revolvers?

    A guy who actually got attacked by a brown bear wrote ONLY a double action revolver will do. He said you can't cock a single action with one hand while fighting off a bear with the other. Listen to the man who's been there!

    Value of a firing pin on the hammer or in the frame?

    To me, the firing pin on the hammer LOOKS more like a real gun. Frame mounted looks like something is missing. But then, I'm an old geezer.

    S&W 629 2 inch?

    Elmer Keith wrote he had no use for a revolver barrel less than 4 inches. He wasn't much over 5 feet tall and carried open or concealed almost all his life. Food for thought.

    Gads, what an ugly little thing ...

    An Emergency Room physician recently wrote he didn't see much difference in the insides of people who had been shot with the latest "tactical" round than those who had been shot with full metal jackets. Elmer Keith also wrote his hollow points did a lot more damage to (smaller) animals than his...

    Hunting trip suggestions --- feral hogs, or ???

    Seems to me, having been there and done that, that there are a lot of canned hog hunt outfits out there. They're expensive, but give you a guarantee. It also seems a lot of people don't know when they've bought a canned hunt. They seem to think it was real hunting. Whatever makes you happy...

    Summertime safety notice

    80% Nitrogen 18% Oxygen 2% Carbon Dioxide (And a bit of other stuff like Ozone, etc.) looks like that guy who was telling folks they could get better mileage from adding water to their gas found a new scam. P. T. Barnum was so right when he said there was a ****** born every minute.

    Trolls / Spammers

    Has anyone noticed that ORCHIDHUNTER just posted four rather long and wordy stories within minutes: One at 1:57 One at 2:00 TWO at 2:04 Obviously he is downloading these from computer memory. I believe this meets the definition of a "spammer" and he should be blocked from this (and all other)...

    Does anyone carry a Colt 380 Mustang?

    My Colt Mustang Pocketlite (Shorter barrel, shorter grip, alloy frame) goes with me everywhere and rests in my workbag 5 feet away from me right now. My three year old grandson likes to handle it. He calls it "Papagun". The magazine is also in the bag and has one handload ball lead round up...

    Security Guards

    I have been a security guard in Illinois, both armed (armored truck) and unarmed (businesses, nights, alone). When you are alone at night "protecting" multi-millions in assets, you are quite aware that killing the security guy leaves no witnesses. Illinois says no guns. The company says no...

    Unless you've been there, you can't really realize how true this is. It's not exaggeration for funny, it's that much and more. Keithcarter NRA Life

    Largest / Most Powerful gun you've fired

    .458 Winchester Magnum and 12ga slugs, both felt the same to me (the .458 was a lot heavier). I used to sit on an old railroad tie and load my 6 cases with a little Lee .45LC loader. Even then factory would cost a buck and a half a round. I was plinking with a .458 for pennies. Anyone for...

    Captain freed!

    YES, finally! As was said, we'll never know the details because if we know, the baddies will know. I suspect the "snipers" swam under the boat with rebreather scuba gear (no bubbles) then at the signal from an observer far away surfaced quietly and "sniped" the relaxed baddies with silenced...

    Dropping Like Flies.

    I believe many of these "accidental overdoses" are really suicides. These sad people can't up and shoot themselves, but they engage in very hazardous behavior in a seemingly oblivious manner. I think they know what they are doing and hope they don't wake up because they are so depressed. I was...

    Working Knives . . .

    I just recently discovered that Opinel knives (france) are all I really need in my home-bound ways. Low priced and very high quality. Try Smoky Mountain Knife Works. I've been a customer for years. Keithcarter NRA Life
