    Telescoping side mirrors...

    I have a couple of Dodges, a 2001 2500 and a 2006 3500 dually. I can assure you, without a doubt, that when driving with the mirrors out it is harder to see what is going on. I'm just waiting for the fad to die so I don't have to be guilty by association. In the meantime, my bone stock trucks...

    YOUR FIRST HANDGUN?

    My first handgun was an Interarms Luger given to me by my dad when i was maybe 12. I still have it.

    Suppressed 22 handgun advice

    One thing that has not been mentioned that I find is really important for me in the burbs is "first round pop", where the first shot is louder than the subsequent ones. Some suppressors have quite a bit of a first round pop, which isn't good when you are dispatching a critter with only one...

    RUST ON SLIDE OF FN IIVE SEVEN! WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

    I've never handled the Five-Seven, but I have a PS90 which is probably made from the same materials. The FN is probably tougher than you give it credit for. Rust isn't going to cause a malfunction. It is also a carry gun, which means it's going to get worn. Also, if you do ever have to use...

    Full sized semi 9?

    If you are looking for full size, it's hard to beat a CZ variant. I have a SP-01 that I am fond of.

    Visiting Austin. Recommendations for gun store?

    Thanks for the info! I will check out Reds and the food. Can't afford a Purdey, but would if I could...

    Visiting Austin. Recommendations for gun store?

    Visiting Austin area for a few days, does anyone have any recommendations for a good gun store? Mostly looking for a decent selection of used stuff. I realize in these times, things are probably picked clean, but what would the best bets be? Also, any other good stores, antiques, cameras, food...

    Building a shooting bench

    I have a concrete pad and an awning at my land. Here is a pic of the bench I made when we were fabricating it... Finished the welding, painted the table, then poured concrete in. Weighs 400 to 500 pounds, had to move it out of the shop to my range with hayspikes on a flatbad. What you...

    Interesting LEO "talk'

    Slower than normal traffic around here, but the wildlife refuge which is great for hiking and trails has more people wandering around in it than I've seen in a long time. Combination of gyms being closed and the fitness folk out looking for exercise, and those who are out of work or school...

    a couple of neglected formerly nice pistols

    Well, they'll never be collector pieces, but I doubt he cares about that. I know I wouldn't. Good luck in getting those going for him. I hope they continue to hold good memories for the lad.

    I got off track again: Ruger 22/45 MKIV Tactical

    Here is mine. I also got rid of the rails as fast as I could. Ruger is nice enough to send screws to fill the drilled holes if you contact their customer service. It's a nice rig, I'm happy with mine. When I bought mine, you couldn't buy a stainless Mk IV Target with a factory threaded...

    Sunsetter Awning

    No one has mention the worst offender of "perpetually on sale" companies? Well in that case, let me present Harbor Freight to the list... Never had awning, but my parent's house is in the mountains and has a small patio that overlooks the valley. In the summer, it is a scorcher to sit there...

    THE 12 GAUGE

    I am a fan of Model 12s! Here's one of mine, barrel shortened to 14 inches. It's great in hallways or tight spots, including vehicles.

    Herrett’s Grips (Not) Closed

    That is a shame, I do like the Herrett stocks on a few of mine. Just like all good things that close their doors, watch the price go up and become all fashionable, when they could have just bought some new when they were available.

    The First 48

    ITT in the 70s? Shady activities? Never!:rolleyes: Now if he had worked for the CIA I'd be pressing him for the details or what he was doing in some place, say, like Chile for example? I like the First 48 because it is the antithesis of all the awful, awful NCIS style shows. Detective work is...

    BSA International

    Here's one you may not see everyday. This is an old BSA International Mk I target rifle that I picked up a few years ago and rigged up as a benchrest gun. I never shot one of these in competition, I got into using an Anschutz, but I did always admire the relatively obscure Martini action and...

    CZ 75 automatic

    Great find, that is definitely an interesting rig, far more interesting than the Glock and Beretta. Congrats on the trio!

    Best oil filter

    Depends on which one I'm working on. Wix for the family's cars, like my parents BMW and our Jeep. Fleetguard in my Cummins 3/4 ton truck. And, the cheap Fram with conventional Castrol from day 1 in my Honda Accord. I change it regularly and the first engine died at 507,000 from a head...

    A Project 1917 I Wouldn't Even Touch

    I'd make something out of that. No lie, I'm not scared to butcher an already butchered gun. I'd have a neat, fun conversation piece. But I wouldn't pay 251 dollars for it...

    Another .327 Federal Magnum

    I've been wanting one of the blackhawks for a long time, but they are rare and when I do find one, I am not in a position to grab it. Color me jealous!
