Being disabled sorks on a good day. I'm glad I taught my wife how to hook up our now old HONDA 6500 out in the shop. Fortunate to have power restored in a little more than 24 hours. A lot of others will be days getting restored. We have to alternate certain loads but can even run the heat...

I didn't think I needed to spell it out when I wrote earlier but the property was apparently not posted. We expect people to come to our front door. USPS, FED EX, UPS, pizza delivery, door dash, grocery delivery, Fuller Brush Man, Jehovah Witnesses. You can send unwanted callers away. In the...

The strategy of opening the door, in the presence of trespassers is really poorly thought out. He pointed a gun at them, finger on the trigger and said he would shoot them. Sounds like assault to me. Nothing good will come from opening the door. Property should have been posted. Put a...

I bought several of those o ring sealed waterproof boxes for canoeing. Reminded me of sealed camera housings from my SCUBA days. The wife has appropriated one for her kayak now for her phone. My pottie gun is concealed behind some artwork.

I hope pizza guy came out of it ok.

You must understand that to collectors, even a poor "original finish" is much desired and valuable over a new refinish. Do not be in a hurry as you'll surely damage the remaining finish. Soak, soft cloth or bristle tooth brush, soak again. Time is your friend.

This might be a great gun for you or a terrible choice. We have no idea what your purpose is. Tell us that and we can give you a proper answer.

I would suggest a SS 357 K frame LEO trade in if I could find it. Any 38 steel K frame if I couldn't. Loaded with 38 ammo and grips to suit her. I'd probably swap in a de-spurred hammer. But really she needs to shoot every gun you can arrange to loan her... and let her decide. If she...

Long ago, when I first went to work for the local PD... I carried my nearly new M19. It was a few months before I was able to find and buy a 4" M66-1 at the LGS. I made a really rookie mistake. I just switched to the 66. They are identical guns, right? Same ammo, same speedloaders. The...

A buddy of mine was then a part-timer in a rural town in Northern Massachusetts. On qualification day, Officer Joe Friendly (name changed to protect the guilty) tried to draw his issue 4" M10 from his leather holster. When the dust settled, it was determined 'ole Joe had planted a 158 gr RNL...

As a cane user... I suggest you don't want to drop your cane, at least not in front of you. The last thing you need is to become entangled in it, trip on it. Throw it away, yes. At the assailant, possibly. Hopefully would make him duck and distract him from his evil thoughts.

I've posted before about having my front sight changed on my M25-2 at the Springfield Service Center. I couldn't see a pin on the original patridge front sight standard on barrels of 6" or more. I wanted to holster the gun so I could shoot qualification with it. I had the M25-2 returned with...

I caused a world of fuss when I was hired in a Supermarket before my 16th birthday. Using the old fashioned register is easy but you do have to be able to count. Some children are curious and want to learn. There's tons of educational content if one wants it. Hell, I even learn stuff here...

I have a 36-1. I always wanted a target.

I enjoy my 3" 36-1 but it's best as a light holster gun. I carried it IWB. My 3" 66 (and the 3" 13 that my ex-finacee declined to sell back to me) have superb balance and carry. I have / had a couple of 3" N frame LH specials... a 657 and a 624. I liked the bulldog feel of the heavier 41M...

With all those people recording... guy in truck, announce "I am leaving. Get out of my way!" Put gun down, close door, back up slowly & carefully and drive away. (In tight quarters, I like to use my flashers, backing up.) Once you put your gun down and announce your intention to leave...

Depending on who displayed the weapon first... the other would seemingly be justified to defend themselves. Agree, really stupid to engage in a potentially deadly confrontation that one could have avoided. Driver could have closed door and left the scene. Pedestrian could possibly have...

Removing a stuck ball from a muzzleloader can be a real project. One isn't always lucky. With muzzle loaders, I would try to blow it out with CO2 or compressed air first. Pulling a possibly live load is really scary since there's no way to work without some part of you in front of the muzzle...

I suggested discontinuing our land line like so many have done but with my disability, it's my "middle of the night emergency" plan. It has numerous loud bells so if I call the landline from my cell it wakes the whole house up. We use an old fashioned answering machine to screen incoming...

32-20 started in the black power era. As a re-enactor, BP has to be kept dry. Dampness might reduce the power on a load. I had one squib with PD provided low bid reloads... during training I paid for myself. There was no powder. I was lucky it tied up my M66, preventing another round being...
