    PSA: New scam

    We updated our messages: "If you are not a scam, leave a message. Otherwise hang up now." And I use nomorobo on our lines. Friends; we are under attack. Anyone who would rob you, is attacking you. No matter how it's done, scam, trickery, fraud... it's still theft and it pisses me off.

    32-20 bulged barrels

    I've always believed that bulged barrels were mostly the result of a defective / squib load that stuck in the barrel... followed by a live load. Shooting old and / or contaminated ammo might have contributed.

    St Louis couple charged

    I note that the couple's weapons were not seized immediately. A search warrant was issued and the pistol was not available. Supposedly the pistol was held by heir atty and still later surrendered. The couple claims the pistol was non-functional during the confrontation. [Can't be proven...

    Brandishing - Stand Your Ground – Castle Doctrine Laws (Files Updated)

    I initially thought this was a good shoot too. After I watched the video of this confrontation of a parking lot vigilante and the improper parker. The parking lot vigilante initiated the confrontation, got in the guys face and I felt baited the person to assault him. Real brave (felony...

    I have a hypothetical question.

    I received a Marlin made Sears 22 rifle along with a bullet trap as a birthday present in 1961. It didn't have a SN. I wish I still had it.

    After what happened to the 3

    The easiest way to defeat anyone is to ambush the victim(s). A sneak attack on someone who believes they are not combatants. PS Still doubtful any of these guys had the murderers truck engine. If someone owes you something, murdering them will not get it back for you.

    The risk of the warning shot

    One of our officers was a little too fearless. He chased 3 burglary suspects on foot into a swamp. Two of them jumped him *** deep in the swamp. He fired a round of 357 into the air. One perp kicked in the afterburners and ran off, the other surrendered. It could have gone very wrong for him.

    After what happened to the 3

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. When an armed and dangerous murderer opens fire on the Police, he has chosen the rules of engagement. He decided not to surrender when he could have. Game over.

    flipped the cylinder closed

    I agree with the late Jeff Cooper that one should treat other's equipment as they prefer. If you want to destroy your own stuff, I'd think it a shame but I let you have at it.

    After what happened to the 3

    Is there anybody here who thinks there is anything to the reported story that someone had "stolen an engine" from the shooter? I don't believe it at all, I think it was a bogus claim to distract / justify an outright robbery. Or maybe he planning all along to murder them. While the victims...

    Hunting with 360 Airweight

    I saw a buddies favorite horse break it's leg in a chuck hole... it was a terrible shame. It was also my favorite horse for him to ride because his and mine must have had a crush on each other... we could ride all day and barely touch the reins because the horses naturally kept pace. I had a...

    After what happened to the 3

    As read the arrest story, the 3 perps followed the first guy from a store where he talked about going fishing in the deserted location. The Police found a bag from the store in the victim's truck, went and got the security cam footage.

    Did Frank Pachmayr modify all these sights?

    I wonder if it wasn't a "rule beater" for fixed sight matches?

    The risk of the warning shot

    When I moved in with my ex... she lived up a long dark dirt driveway with four power poles between us and the street. We had a number of "lost" drivers show up in our yard. I had done extensive wiring up through the attic, breezeway and attached shop/garage and to control the nine overlapping...

    25-2 Question

    M25-2 came with either 6 or 6 1/2" barrel lengths and came standard with patridge front sights. I'll have to go to the safe and see if my 25-2 has escaped. I wanted to shoot qualification with it which required drawing from a holster. Back in those long gone days, officers could bring our...

    The risk of the warning shot

    I disagree. You are armed. You've illuminated the yard with bright lights. He decides to stroll over, to close the distance with you. He can produce a weapon or charge you and attempt to take yours. Maybe you could take him in a fair fight but you have your fighting abilities limited by...

    Michigan OIS

    She let the perp get way too close. The perp had a plan when he exited the vehicle with the knife. She had good training to continue firing while creating space by backing up. She gets to go home tonight. He doesn't. Well done.

    My M645 was a late gun, hand built by my friend and PD Armorer at S&W as his class gun. It has all the upgrades. I later acquired a spare 645 at the LGS. a spare M645

    Wraparound Grips

    The OEM wood grip panels are somewhat thicker and might suit you. Doubt OEM is still available but aftermarket replacement probably is.
