He doesn't either. He seems to be stuck on heart health to the point of excluding all other risks. Life has myriad threats and a balanced approach to meeting them starts with an open mind.

A real shame. Hope they can rebuild.

We seem to have some sensitive souls here. If you are satisfied with an off the shelf production gun you need make no apologies. If you do not get pleasure from higher price guns don't worry about those that do. If you desire fine tolerances and smooth, predictable performance buy at that level...

As to the old trope of racking a gun to frighten off bad guys? Maybe, maybe not. Maintaining cover and the element of surprise? Always a good tactic. If the shotgun is out of the safe and ready for use camping in predator country or at home, it is in condition one. When you need to take action...

I have had good luck with Opsol and Defender Tactical minishell adaptors. Mason Munitions makes one too. As they are very simple devices there is not much to go wrong. I haven't run enough rounds to 100% trust them for self-defense but on the other hand I have not heard any complaints and they...

Earl the oilbird says hello!

Where to start. I grew up with nothing and abhor waste. Not a hoarder* as everything is actually useable and there is room for it without stacking. I could sell a bunch of stuff but don't need the money and hate dealing with people buyers. I have gotten rid of some guns and the wife has sold her...

Oops. Thanks for pointing that out.

Bad batches can happen. The chances of two different ammo brands having problems in the same gun are remote. I'd take a very close look at the gun.

As close as you can tell, when was this ammo purchased new?

Bear with me here... Has Yoko Ono ever been attacked in the woods?

I used to think jacketed bullets were always superior to lead 'till I learned better. Then I bought into the hard cast sales pitch 'till I did some homework. It sells bullets though.

Some Honda small engines have resin camshafts Who knew?

Its been almost half a century since I was introduced to Kroil. Was on a crew rebuilding some old mining equipment and we were struggling with stubborn fasteners. The boss brought some Kroil to the shop and said 'try this.' Wow! I've been a fan ever since and learned WD-40 is not penetrating oil.

Even my corrupt labor union didn't have as many board members as the NRA. Watching and waiting.

Les has a very nice car collection.

Les Baer guns occupy a unique niche. Lower price than the other semi-customs and give nothing away when it comes to accuracy. Where does the price delta come from? LBs are not hand fitted internally as nice. Try Calling LB and saying the gun feels rough before you have run 500 rounds through it...

You sound envious. Not sure if that is your intent. Quality mechanical watches do not keep better time than a Casio but give the owner pleasure. Nothing wrong with that as long as the owner can afford it. Original art vs. a print? Same. Semi and full custom guns do not have crunchy, imprecise or...

I'm certainly not an expert level shooter but that does not prevent me from enjoying the precision feel and handling of a hand fitted 1911.

It's been a few years since I've handled Dan Wessons so I can't speak to current production. They were nicer than other production off the shelf brands but not as consistently nice as the semi-customs such as the Ed Browns. There were some DWs that felt very smooth, others less so. Handle as...
