I know you'd rather not try a third party thing, but I have to re-recommend team viewer. It'll go through routers, firewalls and ports. More than that, it's supremely easy on the customer/user's side. If you both have internet capability, then you have all you need. I've included a link to a...

I strongly suggest trying the free version of TeamViewer. It's worked exceptionally well for me in the past, it's free, it's internet based [meaning a pretty easy access process for your cousin.] All you have to do is follow the easy steps to host a session, invite her to it, and you're off...

I've always felt that getting proficient with any firearm is similar to getting better with a musical instrument, or a sport, or training a dog... As long as you don't start out with terrible habits [have someone with experience watch over your shoulder if you can], sheer repetition and...

I believe the issue is multifaceted, a conglomeration of everything that's been posted. Internet "facts," fast-food mentality [rather buy a solution than practice, anyone can shoot well if they have enough money!!!:rolleyes:], sheer egoism, etc... The anonymity of the net also turns people...

I recently got them for a 686P and a TRR8 and am totally pleased with them. I think the rotation direction throws a lot of people off who've been used to months and years of the other speed loaders going clockwise. I really like the fact that a counter clockwise activation means that you're...

There are a bunch of things that could be happening. In no order at all, just brainstorming: Hardware/cooling failure. Some machines, if they're really dirty, or fans are failing, will slow down and refuse to work when overheating. Not enough wattage in the power supply A virus. It's best...

I miss when a "community" was a neighborhood. When "values" were not as important as virtues. When "family" meant mom, dad and the kids. When self-esteem came from achievement. I miss when I was solely responsible for myself, my safety, my actions. I miss when responsibility was more important...

Well, I'll be! Guys, I want you all to know that this was not a "plant." I am in no way associated with Blade Tech, and am just as astounded as anyone else that may read this, and the gracious post by the BT rep. And, to tell you the truth, I was not even thinking that the CT grip might get...

I'm trying to assemble what might be a perfect rig for my use. There's only one thing that I need to mod, and wonder if anyone has experience with this and if it's a big deal to get right. I have the 327. Have a Crimson Trace laser grip ready to go for it. I have a Blade Tech OWB that fits...

I was standing in line at the local electronics store and overheard this tantrum from a ten year old. Kid was standing in line with his dad, and creating quite the scene about not getting some video game...yelling and stomping to the point that I thought the little guy was going to pass out...

A 4566TSW about half the time I carry. It depends mostly on what time of year and if I'm wearing a sport coat, etc.. I use a Gould and Goodrich paddle retention holster, necessary because I have to disarm frequently during the course of a normal working day. Tips for a large or heavy gun. 1]...

I'm with CelticSire and others on this one... You wouldn't know that I loved them, because I've taken off in them many more times than I landed in one, but the C-130. And not just any old Herc...it is the one that started the first leg of my journey home...so many years ago. Len

A Ruger 41 mag was my first ever gun. I agree with Bobelk, too, about SA guns, they're great for taking someone out to the range for a first shoot. I carry the 41 as a woods gun, use the 22/22mag Ruger to teach first-timers the basics of gun handling, and have the Ruger 357/9mm convertible...

I swore I'd never get into the "X" vs. "X" discussion. It always boils down to "different strokes," but.... I have only one comment. [And keep in mind that I carry both calibers in question on a 50/50 basis] If, as stated, one shouldn't blame the 45 for misses while under fire, and [as I can...

I have Ruger SA guns, but most of what I use is S&W or Sig. I had a very jaded opinion of Taurus, based, I admit sheepishly, only on hearsay. Knew they weren't any good, but didn't know anyone that owned one, much less had problems with it. Then my local gun pusher gave me an offer I couldn't...

As you burned the M60 up, what were the names of the guys who made it, because of you? We do what we can, even all we can, and sometimes it just won't be enough. No blame...it just is. God bless you, thanks for your service, glad you're home. Len

Not a vet...my experience is 30 years of raising, training and competing dogs in obedience and field trials....so take this opinion for what it's worth. Way too skinny. You should not really "see" ribs or the spinous processes dotting his back. The going wisdom from just about every breeder...

Thanks so much, guys, I appreciate the advice. I've already started using some of the ideas, with a twist of my own. The gun I'm working with here is the 327 TRR8 [an absolutely remarkable revolver, BTW!]. I had not, nor had I intended to attach the rails that come with it. But, I have one...

My great-grandfather fought in the second Boer War...then came back home to the Netherlands after seventeen years in Africa, minus a leg. Gave his rifles to his son, my grand-dad [don't know what they were], and those rifles were confiscated by the Germans during WWII when they occupied...

Here's the scenario...shooting a revolver with a stout DA trigger pull. In single action, very good groups, one ragged hole....then, in double action, slightly larger groups, all moving to the right. I've seen the "trigger aiming chart" ad nauseum, I know the problem is that in double action...
