    Trends You Simply Can't Stand...Feel Free To Vent Here

    “Revolver”. The cylinder rotates. NASA says… "Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object

    Will a set of K grips fit an N frame gun?

    Yes. But not well. I’ve bought at least two N frames that had K frame target grips on them. Simple switch-a-roo.

    My experience & opinion as to costs of reloading now days.

    I reloaded off and on for 50 years. A couple of years ago I realized I never liked it. I have all my gear in the basement. Its too heavy to bother with selling and shipping. My kids are shooters, but not interested in reloading. I’m pretty sure it is a dying hobby. I don’t know any younger...

    How do you identify a South African Victory Model?

    .38 S&W M&P help, please (Updated with letter) Let add my little bit to the resurrection. There are photos in the linked thread. My 4” .38 S&W letters to South Africa. It somehow avoided all the usual hieroglyphics, either by never going anywhere or coming back outside of the usual channels...

    Heavy Clothing Stops .38 Wadcutter!

    What a thread. I was a firearms instructor as an additional duty for many years. I qualified FBI agents, tribal cops, and some others. When I retired, I had a gig qualifying FFDOs. Look it up if you don’t know what it means. I shoot every week at a local indoor range. If you think the...

    Actors/ Actresses you can't stand?

    John Wayne. I can take him as a cowboy but when puts on a military uniform the hypocrisy is too much. I thought he was ok in True Grit.

    My Hackensack Luger (Stoeger .22 Luger)

    A quick update. My Jersey Luger is still going strong. It goes to the range with me almost every week, and its record with cheapo Thunderbolts is still flawless. This is my favorite impulse buy. The smooth grips always bugged me a little. I upgraded with these checkered ones from from eBay...

    1968 Colt LW Commander

    I paid 7 bills for this one 10 years ago, so yeah I think so. Mine is a .45 and not a ton of fun to shoot, but it is a joy to carry. A 9mm might be the best of both worlds. PS: No Turkish or Filipino 1911 will ever equal a Colt.

    Weapon rotation, not what you think

    When I could only carry what the bosses said, I was also against the “carry rotation”. Now that I can carry whatever I want I’m a big fan of it. Today it was my old Colt Cobra. Tomorrow it might be a Chief Special or a 6906. If I watch Key Largo again tonight you can bet it will be a Pocket...

    Happy birthday Ruthie

    Happiest of birthdays to your better half. She looks like she wouldn’t mind too much if I got drunk and slept on your couch. That is the highest praise I have!
