Just got back from visiting family in the Denver area. It's so different from Colorado Springs. The good: Everyone is so polite it makes a cynic (me) suspicious. The food is outstanding, had a brisket to die for. "Green spaces" are everywhere; parks and trails well maintained. Lotsa jobs, our...

Roads are all tore up over by Doc's house but we made it in spite of a 5 year project that will be inadequate before it is ever finished. I don't know how the "low rider buzz bombs" handle the ruts, my pickup gets close to bottom out. Anyways got there a little after opening and a very sparse...

NY Post reporting Grabagun will be listed on NYSE in less than 2 weeks. I have had one transaction with them; excellent experience, fast (bought on Tuesday, in local shop Friday) and price was significantly lower than anyone else. They are being billed as the "Amazon of Guns." We'll see. Joe...

Seems like non stop complaining from buyers/sellers/traders about current gun prices. “Wow, when did they get so high!?!” “I’m glad I bought in the 20th century.” I bought a brand new Sig 226 in 1994 for $550 (01 FFL price) to my house. That $550 is $1190 today according to the “inflation...

Just 97* Spring Weather. The A/C was straining. Lotsa folks came out and at least 2 out of 3 were carrying something to sell. One fellow had a cart of over a dozen "milsurps" and others had handguns, including me. Sold what I had in about 10 minutes, nothing fun about toting around all day...

Getting ready for the Lakeland show next Saturday I figured to snap a pic whilst I still have them. Unfortunately, in my current "downsizing" my 4" 65 has gone away. So a small "cheat" in the straight flush: 63, 64, 65-3,66-5,67. I call ;) Joe

Beretta 9mm APX for sale in the local area. Nice condition, came to me in a trade. Not my kinda gun. Just the gun, one 13 rd magazine (CDNN has them for $20/ea), in the plastic box pictured. $375. Cross posted. Can bring it to Lakeland next weekend if it doesn't sell first. Joe

Every month the "blue mop" just don't get it (that's a blue 3' dry mop). 2100 sq ft of tile (carpet went away 10 years ago) gets the wet mop , one end to the other. I gotta have tunes, YouTube has endless supply. I found this and cranked it up for the 1st time and a chore became joyful. The...

I read this this morning and immediately several questions came to mind: 1) Who stocks this much 7.62x51/ .308? 2) Who sold this quantity of ammo to a couple of fellows without a single question? 3) Where did they get the cash for 180K rds @ about $1/rd? 4) Why were they moving it from...

Shhh. Be vewwey quiet. So Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd break into a distillery. Daffy turns to Elmer and says: “Is this Whiskey?” Elmer says: “Yeth but not as whiskey as wobbing a bank!!” Joe

I went out this morning with a Ruger MKII "slabside," a 1970 Model 15 and the Sar CM9. Right off I'm having trouble with the muzzle heavy .22, I do better with the MKII 4 3/4" standard. It's me, not the gun. Broke out the Model 15. 53 rds of Privi 158 gr LSWHP, 110 gr Federal HP's and win...

Over by the local hospital is a very busy intersection "controlled" by 4 way stop signs. Hospital West, School South, Main road East, Medical plaza North. Not rocket science but when there are 6 or 7 vehicles stacked it gets testy fast. "On yer left is usually yielded to and North-South or...

Doc and I ran down to "The Ranch" for a day of shooting. Beautiful sunny day and a couple bags 'o guns. Doc had a Baby Browning .25 that would fire with the safety on. After twice I told him he ain't fixing it here, baggit. Broke out the KelTec P17 to warm up, I can't hit squat with it...

Palmetto State struck again, "Deal 'O the Day" last week was Turk CM9 (2nd gen) double stack, SS slide/ black polymer, hammer fired pistol. Got it Monday and had it out to Triple N for a "break in." 50 rds CCI Blazer Brass, 50 rds Remington "mega box" (250 rds in 5 50 rd trays). I did take it...

Most outings I drop a Ruger MKII in the bag because they are great guns. A couple outings ago, after cleaning a MKII Standard, I wet up the bolt with Castrol 0-20 full synthetic oil from a bottle on top of my safe. 2 outings later the gun is choking badly, not ejecting/chambering. Peeked...

Lately I have spent a large amount of time among the "under 35" age group. Most all are in agreement that I am firmly stuck somewhere in the 20th Century, mostly between 1969 and the ensuing 25 years. I doth protest; until today. A gorgeous, cloudless, mid '70's, glad to be alive day. I...

Wow, I haven't seen a line to get in in years. Wall to wall folks and at least every other person was toting something to sell, including me selling and Doc along for the day. Some prices were almost reasonable, the rest not. S&W 19-3 or 19-4 4" and 6" were $1,000-$1,300. "Collectible" guns...

1st quarter of the 21th century officially gone at midnight, an Extra happy New Year. A few thoughts, if I may: Every time someone has a "prayer request" I do it while I'm reading it. I don't respond to the thread because it sometimes takes me awhile. After 40 "wicked" years, at almost 72 I'm...

A couple of "visitors" decided to crack a castle. Pushed all their chips to the center of the table declaring: "I'm all in!" Sometimes the house wins. Joe Florida homeowner shoots 2, kills 1 in suspected home invasion | Fox News

It was pretty cold to start out but by 10 I peeled off the hoodie. New RSO, missing 2 or 3 limbs and wheelchair bound, great attitude, "yessir" and "yessir." Shot my ration of 5 ten rd mags Ruger MKII 3 times and the "MAPP" Philippine copy of CZ 75. Both ran a total of 200 rds without a hitch...
