I too like fine craftsmanship. But several years ago I did a shoot off with several carry size pistols and much to my surprise, the Glock 48 came out on top. It's thin, carries more rounds than a J frame, conceals almost as well as the J, and most importantly I shoot it well naturally. I love...
I have two situations where I'd like to have a suppressor, and like someone earlier said, not lose anymore hearing than I already have. The first situation is hunting. I suppose I could get some expensive ear protection that might achieve something similar, but with the way my hearing is...
Like someone mentioned in a previous post, I'm comfortable. I didn't start there. I started earning money at age 10. In a family with one income and five kids, this was mostly to supplement my diet. I went to college paid for with savings my parents enforced on me throughout my childhood...
I shoot a good bit of 9mm, but probably just as much 38 special. I also shoot 45acp, 44mag, 357, 22lr, 10mm, and 32acp. The only difference is that I pick up all my brass except for the 9mm. I do reload 9mm but I'm already awash in 9mm brass. For rifles, I pick it all up. Sometimes I think...
In high school I wore a ww2 tanker jacket in the winters. Everybody's dad was in ww2 or Korea back then. God I wish I hadn't worn that thing out and still had it. The knit parts were completely coming apart by my senior year.
I grew up in the 60's not far from the French Quarter. When cousins would visit from up north, we used to go down there and buy voodoo dolls. It was a very popular tourist item then.
Many years ago I was driving down I-10 in my Tacoma with the window down headed to my kids' swimming lessons. As I was about to get off at the exit, something hit my side mirror, came in the window, hit me in the chest, and fell between my legs. I looked down to see a stunned wasp on the seat...
I watched them build the very first Raising Cane's, and then proceeded to eat way too much of it for the next 5 years. Was finally able to get clean of the addicting stuff and can now eat it at a normal frequency.
I grew up down river from NOLA. Have lived all over the toe box of the state. I don't mind the heat and humidity. In fact, I'm not comfortable in dry areas (like AZ where my brother moved to). The bugs I can take for a couple of hours before I get tired of them and call it a day. Teal...
When sent for a tool and not finding it. "If it was a rattlesnake it would have bit you."
When work was going on and you're not helping out. "If you're standing around watching someone work, you're standing in the wrong place. Get to work or go somewhere else."
When you're slowing him down...
I got back into reloading after a 30 year hiatus in order to load 45-60 WCF. Rounds were commercially available at the time I tooled back up, but they were in the neighborhood of $75 per 20. I'm not sure if there are any commercial loads available for 45-60 today and the brass is virtually...
I wouldn't feel at a disadvantage with either HST, Gold Dot, Critical Defense, FBI loads, or my own home brewed 158gr XTP +P's. I figure they'll do their part if I do mine. In snub's I usually have HST or Gold Dot Short Barrel; in the 64 it's usually my 158gr +P's.
I've never hunted Africa and probably never will. My understanding though is that if sport hunting on African species did not exist, it's likely that many of these animals would no longer exist either. The African countries and the people who live there would have no reason to not eat, poach...
I lend and give things to family and friends with no expectation of return. And, if someone asks for my help I will go out of my way to give it. That said, if I never hear from someone to at least let me know they received something I sent, I don't send anything anymore. It's not to be...
