    ".26 caliber pistol"?

    I used to own an Auto Ordnance 1911 style pistol, with the slide clearly roll marked ".10mm". :rolleyes:

    Haunted House?

    The world is a graveyard. Homo sapiens has been around for 300,000 years or so, and modern, tool-using humans 45-60,000. Approximately 110 billion humans have lived and died. There's hardly a place you can walk where someone hasn't died nearby. Consider cities such as Rome or Cairo or Beijing...

    Suggestion for K-32 revival

    Billy Joel, "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" from the 1980 album Glass Houses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eAQa4MOGkE The drawback to Smith & Wesson making a new K-32 of any type, is the ugly profile of the current frame due to the lock. The flattened curve of the back of the frame where...

    Loose, lose, and auto correct

    What I wonder is, for the people who misspell "loose" when they mean "didn't win", how do they spell "loose" when they actually mean "not tight"? [emoji849]

    I spent $1100 at Wannenmacher's and got...

    I came away relatively unscathed. $500 for the Rossi 92 in .45 Colt, $55 for the book, $230 for 3,000 primers. The Turnbull calendar was free. So, $785 total.

    Leftys & Rightys

    Right handed, left eye dominant. I shoot handguns right handed but use my left eye, so my wrist is cocked a little. I shoot long guns left handed. Both of my brothers are the same way. I'm pretty accustomed to right handed long guns. For bolt guns I keep my left hand on the wrist and work the...

    Recommendations for 22 rifles?

    This thread just pushed me over the edge. Even though I already have a left-handed CZ452 American, I just went on GB and bought a left-handed Savage Mark II G just because it's so darn inexpensive. Photo from GB listing. I'll be interested to see how they compare. By the way, the listed price...

    Wedding Ring

    About a year ago I had just merged onto a highway when I saw a Google Streetview car in the left lane behind me. I slowed a bit to let it pass, and made a mental note of where it had occurred. A few months ago I finally remembered the incident and looked the area up on Streetview. I was a...

    Wedding Ring

    A year or two after we married, I woke up one morning and found my ring on the carpeted floor next to the bed. I slept on the right side of the bed and of course the ring was on my left hand, so I'm not sure how it got there. It had never come off by itself before or since. I do take it off...

    Still Looking For a Safe ***** COMMENT ADDED ****

    As long as we're discussing safes, why the hell are they ALL hinged on the right? Left handed safes seem to be quite rare, which doesn't make any sense. In any given household there might be places where a person would want to place a safe, that a door hinged on the right would be inconvenient...

    Not until you get it home and find out it won't fit through the door. [emoji849]

    Manufacture dates for CCI ammo lot numbers

    I just bought a couple of cases of CCI .22LR ammo (Blazer and Mini-Mags) and wondered what the manufacture date on them was. I found the following info via Google: Since 1995 SPEER/CCI products have used lot numbers that allow you to discern their date of manufacture. These lot numbers are in...

    Whitney Wolverine

    I had an Olympic Arms version. Jammamatic. Sold it on GB for double what I paid for it (after owning it for about ten years).

    Shouldn't gold be going up?

    There is no such thing as "real" money. Money is a concept, not a thing. It's a system of accounting to make exchange of dissimilar goods and/or services easily transacted. Whether gold, or copper coins, or paper bills, or ones and zeros, or giant stone discs (Yap Islander money), money has...

    Any love for the KelTec Sub 2000?

    Any love for the KelTec Sub 2000?

    I see several NIB Sub2000s on GB with Buy-Now prices under $400. Kel-Tec also has a $100 rebate on the Sub2000 good through March 1, 2024. SUB2000 $100 Rebate Promotion - KelTec That puts the base price for a Sub2000 under $300. Of course if you go through GB, there will be taxes, shipping and...
