I’m definitely sympathetic to the “right lane” for travel. Left lane for passing. However, I use to do a lot of long distance road trips. Our highways are often plagued with endless miles of interstate highway with horrible right lane conditions. Potholes and patches and road debris going on...

Ahh… Back in the day when Pony Boy had a very different meaning. 😊

Stansdds has good advice. I carry a model 38. But, heavy range practice is with a model 49. I have an early model 12 with the narrow frame. Interesting potential for carry. But it’s primarily just a collector piece to me.

I’m maxed out. Enjoy looking but no longer in the market for anything specific. Most likely be starting to sell off items in the near future.

A favorite quote of mine: Robert Heinlein

Not for decades. There was a time I really enjoyed the newspaper. Especially the Sunday edition. Color comics, classified ad section, coupons, art & entertainment section, travel, editorials (love-hate relationship), TV guide, stock market recap, separate sections for local, national and...

Same here. Started seeing Halloween stuff immediately after the 4th of July. Holidays are no longer seasonal nor special.

Are you using mixed manufacturer brass? Some brands don’t accept wadcutter bullets. Case thickness changes at a depth similar to the WC bullet oal. Often causes a bulge or wrinkle. I sort and trim my 38 special brass and only use certain brands for wadcutter bullets. Or, it could also be...

Yes, amazing stuff. Started using it over half a century ago as a young apprentice machinist. Liked some of their other products as well. Such as their degreasing products. We use to get their interesting and often hilarious newsletters. Don’t know if they still do that. Great stuff...

Atlas Shrugged was a life changing read for me. But, I’ve long contended that she could have greatly benefited from a good editor. She tended to be unnecessarily long winded.

I’m a “boomer” along with both my brothers. Models of 47, 52 & 57! Not as much fun being this old now. But, those years spent in the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s were wonderful. I would have hated to have missed them. Brothers feel much the same. Extraordinary times indeed.

Never been to that one. I have seen the Sun & Fun Fly-In at Lakeland Florida several times. Once as the guest of a gal-pal who was an air traffic controller. Got to see some interesting “behind the scenes” action. I have my basic license. But have been inactive for quite some time. Sadly...

Not quite the same situation. But, I have a typical 3 speed ceiling fan. Previous owner wired it to an old fashion, multi position rheostat better suited for light control. It has made fan speed control totally erratic. I suspect that a speed control connected to a multi-speed motor is a...

This is my idea of a drone I’d like to fly! In case you’re not a SciFi fan: Actress Jeri Ryan Most well known for her role as 7 of 9 Borg Drone in Star Trek Voyager.

A model 38 is my constant “go everywhere” companion. I use two pocket holsters. An Andrews leather one for dress slacks or other clothes with taper bottom pockets. A DeSantis synthetic for cargo shorts & pants with oversized square bottom pockets. Works well for me and about the only practical...

I can only confirm what most have already said. My last job before retirement was chief production engineer at an ammunition assembly plant for a well known international manufacturer. We were sent a shipment of 38 special ammunition produced by an European subsidiary. It was suspected of...

The really confused ones have five or seven!

By the way, sorry about your eyesight and shoulder strength issues. I developed a serious cataract in my right eye. Learned to shoot reasonably well left hand - left eye for awhile. Eventually got cataract surgery and decent eye sight. Returned to mostly right dominant shooting. I also...

My experience is primarily with Zero swaged and Berry’s plated. Some limited experience with Speer. Excellent accuracy for me with Zero. (Initially) At the expense of awful leading and greasy residue. Good accuracy with Berry’s and very clean. But, my experience is that they require a...

Was there a fired case in the barrel when you cleared the jam? Deformation is very symmetrical. Like it hit the base of a cartridge already chambered or one the hadn’t ejected. Most bullet damage I’ve seen from a feed failure was very non-symmetrical. Hard to imagine that you wouldn’t notice...
