    The Air Force Has Completed its Inspection of their SIG M18 Service Pistols

    Well, Elon Musk invented the term Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly to describe an explosion, so I guess anything's fair game at this point.

    An Old War Horse....

    I'm 64 years old and I've been truly blessed to have known many, many real men, from WWII pilots to Vietnam Grunts to IED survivors to veteran Cops. There is one man, however, who still sticks out in my mind 46 years after our brief encounter. In 1979 I was living in Del RIo, Texas and I had to...

    I used to know a guy with one of these. He called it a Smython.

    So… is the Beretta M9 still the Worst?

    When I was coming up we were taught that when a bad guy makes a grab for your weapon the proper response is to pull the trigger.

    Consorting with the enemy (hey, its better than no consorting at all!) S&W herecy!

    I have two, a new 4" stainless Python and a nickeled Gen 3 SAA in .44 Spl. My wife has a mint 1970s-era Detective Special so it's a family thing.

    Consorting with the enemy (hey, its better than no consorting at all!) S&W herecy!

    My money goes to second worst. Ruger's all time worst decision in my book was the day Bill Ruger publicly got into bed with the antis on magazine capacity. That was the actual definition of consorting with the enemy and a lot of us neither forgave nor forgot. It took the LCR to lure me back...

    So… is the Beretta M9 still the Worst?

    The slide thing was true. As to the slide grab anecdote, I always used to hear that but never saw it actually demonstrated. It could be argued that a long string of things have already gone wrong if the suspect is close enough to think he can make that grab. That said, I was always taught that...

    Newer smiths - Better In Some Ways?

    I pursued a service-connected rating with the VA years ago that went very much like what you're describing. Wrong diagnosis, appeal made, process restarted. They know that they're doing it wrong but only numbers matter. Filing an appeal is a different process and done outside the pipeline. The...

    Newer smiths - Better In Some Ways?

    Which I'm sure they got right on. My 2020 Ranger was delivered to me with the dealer prep stickers still on the wheels. One tire had 65 lbs. of air in it and the other three had 50. And the "prep" wasn't a freebie.

    Remember the ad saying that the 92D was like a 15 shot revolver? Well, it is. And mine's not for sale, ever.
