A Yildiz 28 gauge over and under was what I got. The girlfriend became quite enamored. It now lives by her back door and deals with garden pests. She is merciless!

Unique and IMR 4895 work for me.

Hoppin' John and cornbread on New Year's day is also pretty common here in Kentucky.

BTW Yoda, I know of a gas station hold up in Larimer county, Colorado that was effectively ended by the attendant who had a "wallet" like yours.

Once concealed carry became legal here it was a 1911 in an older Bianchi Shadow. Normal work attire kept it hidden to all but the most diligent observers. That pistol was retired and replaced by a Combat Commander for routine carry. A Kel-Tec P3-AT with a pocket clip gets pressed in to service...

My favorite is the M3 fighting knife and its progeny, the M4 thru M7 bayonets. I think it is rugged, and that the spear point blade is favorably skewed more towards fighting than a repurposed hunting knife like the Ka-Bar or the Camillus Pilots Survival Knife

Very similar tool bag was used for smaller hand tools and sockets on a tank

Sperm oil was often the Army's specified lubricant in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century manuals. From the 1940 edition of FM-23-35 AUTOMATIC PISTOL, CAL. .45, M1911 AND M19I1A1 "CAUTION.—After firing do not oil the bore before cleaning. c. Saturate a clean flannel patch with...

One other critical weakness on these mags is the plastic baseplates are becoming old and brittle. Drop the mag onto a hard surface and it is likely to fly apart like a two dollar suitcase. Replacement baseplates are perennially out of stock

To offset all the beautiful revolvers in this thread is just got this P&R Model 58. This must qualify as the ugliest non-Webley revolver I have ever possessed. In its defense the bore and chambers are excellent and the action is as slick as an old N-frame gets.

Read it Again. The Second Amendment PROHIBITS the Government from Interfering with the PEOPLE’S Individual Right to Possess and Carry Weapons. The authors of the Constitution believed that rights existed before government, and that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are intended to restrict...

Yes, the reproductions do not like black powder. When they lengthened the cylinders to accept the 45 Colt and 44 Special it became much easier for the fouling to bind up the cylinder. Both my reproduction Schofield and Russian dislike black powder while my original S&W Russian is more tolerant...

Maybe, maybe not. Police: Sheriff’s Deputy Shoots, Kills Laytonsville Man Who Was 'Driving Erratically' - YouTube Twelve to the chest from a Glock 17 at arms length while beating the deputy with a stick. An autopsy showed that Costlow received 12 gunshot wounds. That autopsy also showed that...

For me it has to fit. It has to be comfortable and instinctive. Maybe because choices were slimmer sixty years ago, I chose a Colt Government Model. Maybe it ruined me for everything else, but there is nothing I shoot better. There are other guns I shoot about as well, BUT I have to think about...

Is this the updated version about the argument whether fixed or adjustable sights are best on a defensive pistol?

The Barber dime is cool, but I don't think it will help me shoot any better. I've got a couple of other Martinis. A Mark IV in 577-450 and a Cadet in 320-12-120. I agree, they are fun to shoot.

From the days when tank crew qualification could cost you a stripe if you failed.

Merrell Barracks was the former SS kaserne in Nürnberg. It was the headquarters for the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. The facility was returned to the German government in 1995. The Army kept much of the external battle damage unrepaired and visible throughout its use of the kaserne.

That SK ammo is some good stuff. The BSA Martini 12 I think dates from late 1930's. (I need a better glass to make out the Birmingham proof date) The scope is a Litschert 20X, likely from the late 40's. The plebeian Roosevelt dime will have to do.
