I'm going to hazard I am an unfortunate believer in an urban myth about Soros owning Progressive. Serves me right for not looking it up. However, if you look up a list of Progressive Insurance "charitable" donations it is unlikely to match any list you might maintain (putting it mildly)...

Progressive Soros Another "strike" against Progressive is that it is owned by George Soros. Perhaps that is the source of the name. We had pretty good luck with them years ago until I learned who the owner was and we dropped them like a hot rock. We added a driver to our car insurance...

I will gladly take; H-11 H-12 H-13 all by Jack O'Connor PM on the way. Thank you! Bryan

All other things being similar I rather consistently get numerically higher velocities from powder coated projectiles compared to jacketed, plated, or lubed lead. I've done a few side by side comparisons and occasionally the difference is larger than one might expect in favor of powder coated...

From Central Texas west we receive somewhere between 30 inches of rain, "normally," to 10 or a little less out towards El Paso where some of that geography is considered true desert. There's a reason Texas leads the nation, by far, in wind power generation - it's windy here. Thus our...

There really isn't any place to get water out there; I mean high volumes in short periods of time. No lakes or surface water to speak of. Thus tankers aren't considered terribly practical due to the distances they'd have to go to get refilled. Fire retardant apparently doesn't work that...

Most of the wildfires making news in Texas are on the High Plains, otherwise know as "the Panhandle" to non-Texans. Virtually the entirety of the High Plains received well above average rainfall last spring and summer; it's not a true desert but there's a lot of 15 inch annual rainfall areas on...

Attended the Ft. Worth shows regularly for many years. Moved out of the immediate area but have fond memories, like a lot of us, to times when gun shows were real destination events. Many sponsors/hosts of gun shows near larger metropolitan areas of Texas have long required all sellers to...

No Grayfox, you're not the only one, though that one lacked the depth and character development of this new one. Probably never would have seen the vast majority of the Godzilla movies if not for going with my son. Most of the more recent ones are about a whole lot more than the monster...

Thanks for the unsolicited parenting advice. Bryan

We have a 17 year old son who has been a lifelong Godzilla fan. Consequently we own most of the 30 or so Godzilla movies and have been to the theater to see all the new releases in the last 12 years or so. New one making the rounds is Godzilla Minus One. We caught the black & white version...

If the bore is in good shape and the revolver is mechanically sound that's a fair price hedging towards the "good deal" territory around here. They sure aren't making any more of those. Nice shooter but the .32-20 has been largely a hand-loader proposition for a while now. (We reload -...

I have a five-inch barrel Colt OP. This one was manufactured in 1932. Note the half-moon front sight blade versus your cut version. These are truly fine revolvers and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I imagine you will! Bryan

Here's a Police Positive Special and an Official Police both in .32-20 from the inventory both showing the model markings on the barrel. This Police Positive is from 1928, the second year of manufacture, and the Official Police was made in 1931. Both are nice but the OP is 95% or...

Things that matter most should never be at the mercy of things that matter least. -Goethe Don't let yesterday use up too much of today. -Cherokee Proverb There really are two kinds of people; those that believe there's only two kinds of people, and those of us who know better. -My Dad

Paul is one of my favorite gun gurus of all time. There's always been a bit mystery to him and the first video posted above is in-sync with that. I thought I had an "interesting" practice wife but apparently I'm bush league. Over the years he's related some interesting situations and had his...

Again, do you believe life in prison without parole does not constitute punishment? I did not "argue" for deterrence so please do not misstate my opinion to support yours. I simply stated fact. I would prefer consequences to bad behavior serve as a deterrence rather than simply as punishment...

What is it about life in prison without parole that doesn't sound like punishment? I did not discuss reform. And, life in prison without parole would tend to indicate the "monsters" will not be walking among us. I respect your views but please don't distort mine. Bryan

Said it before; capital punishment is a general waste of taxpayer money as it is almost universally more expensive than life in prison without parole. The appeals process, mandatory in most jurisdictions, is expensive and time-consuming. If I had my way life at hard labor would still be an...

Inventory tracking I keep an xcel spreadsheet that contains entries for all the firearms in the inventory and it includes a brief description of the firearm and the serial number. Accessories such as optics are also recorded including their serial numbers, if they have them. Also included for...
