Jake (8/01-4/7/15): Jake and his brother Samson were two of four kittens we found near a local shooting spot on the Sunday after 9/11. Their two other brothers had been shot and were kindly put down by the local 'Good Samaritan' vet. He also checked Jake's runt brother, Samson, for a host of...

Saban may start him at the Sugar Bowl. He has a dead stare - grumbles incoherently - is tenacious - has a nasty air about him... Sick, huh? A 'zombie' Bama kicker! I got it for my wife for Christmas - she made me return it! I thought he was kind of cute. She kept the Steeler's Polamalu doll I...

I had a spare CZ-452 'Super Exclusive' - LNIB - so I gave it to my pair of grandsons, as well as cleaning supplies, eye & ear protection, and a long enough carry case to carry the 28.8" barrel bolt action in. They had shot my other one around Thanksgiving and liked it better than the scoped...

During a LGS visit yesterday, I found a new one on me - the PC637 Wyatt Deep Cover, SKU #170347 - marked $480, only $30 over their basic 637 price. It supposedly has a bobbed hammer, chromed trigger, polished cylinder, 'Gunsmoke' logo on the barrel, and a PC Shop 'improved action'. I thought it...

Today marks forty-five years since the loss of the USS Scorpion, a Skipjack class fast attack nuclear powered submarine with it's ninety nine brave crew members aboard. When I was in the USN, '69-'72, the scuttlebutt was she sank herself with a hot running torpedo in the tube. The truth is far...

Yep, finally happened - I bought a new 351PD - spent a small fortune on it - and it has a defect. The ejector star skips over two chambers, making a small rod or finger nail necessary to get the skipped empties out. No problem with the ejector star in - they miss it entirely and can be pushed...

Anyone having trouble loading their pictures from the 'new' Photo Bucket? My 330+ pix were there a few days ago, seemingly gone now. And... the 'button' for returning to the 'old' version of PhotoBucket didn't seem to work. Of course... maybe it's just me... or my security program. Anyone...

Fifty years ago last month - on my birthday - my Dad, a truckdriver, arrived home in Indianapolis with my new shortwave receiver from Lafayette Radio in NY, near where we had until recently lived. It replaced my two transistor homebrew receiver - and in a big way. It would start a life long...

This week's episode had lead CIA operative 'Annie', played by a cute Piper Perabo, in Italy with her visually handicapped friend 'Auggie' as her pardner (Yeah... that made sense!). In any case, when she pulled out her handgun, it was a matte SS-looking revolver with the lug above the barrel, a...

I had some moola put back... saving for an undisclosed new S&W. I couldn't stand it. I repaired and calibrated radiac gear in the USN - four decades ago! Somehow, I got the hankering for a geiger counter. I lost a bid on evil-bay on one - that did it. I searched - and found - a US designed and...

I had to try it - my 632 Pro seemed a bit stiff - I thought it might be a stronger spring to pop the .327 Federal Magnum's small rifle primers. Everyone knows a .22 rimfire needs a strong hammer spring to pop it's tougher rimfire primer - and a .22 WMR is even stiffer. A call to Brownells found...

That's it - tell us about your good new purchases. Sadly, we hear about the less than satisfactory QC examples... how about the good ones? I'll start off with my last new purchase - 9/11 - a 632 Pro. Initially shocked that it hit low with the wimpier ammo from 7-12 yd, I found that it was...

I know we S&W loons like knives, but how many others really like high power LED flashlights? I've bought a few goodies over the last year - but this latest Surefire P2X 'Fury' is something else. It's like their '6' line - like the original Xenon filled incandescent bulbed light you see the CSI...

I was asked about the function of speedloaders with my J-frames now sporting the 60 Pro grips, S&W Accessories SKU #411740000. From the upper left below, CCW, they are: 3" 60 Pro; 2 1/8" 632 Pro; 5" 63; 4" 651; 3" 63: The below speedloaders/ammo worked with the listed revolvers, again, from...

My two back-ordered '60 Pro' grips arrived last week. Here is my J-frame collection, except for the OEM-gripped 642: CW, from upper left: 3" 60-15 'Pro' (.38/.357M); 5" 63-4 (.22 LR); 3" 63-5 (.22 LR); 4" 651-1 (.22 WMR) and 2 1/8" 632-2 .327 Federal Magnum. I will have a blessed...

I just got two HKS 51-J speedloaders for my new to me 4" 651. I like to keep defensive ammo accessible for all of my revolvers either moonclipped or in speedloaders - 'just in case'. I have found CCI 40gr HP MaxiMags everywhere - including at WallyWorld. I also found a box of Remington '22 Win...

I have worried over this for weeks... don't usually buy used S&W's, but that was the only way to get a target-type SS .22 WMR. I'd seen 648's - just couldn't afford them - didn't care for the full lug, either. I finally saw this J-frame 4" 651-1... decent price - literally like new - 1997+...

Mild to moderate loads involving 115gr LRNFP (.312") in .327 Magnum cases wanted. Small pistol and small Magnum pistol Federal primers with Titegroup preferred. For my 2 1/8" 632 Pro. Stainz

He did break the NFL rules last week when he called his wife to tell her he was okay after a head injury removed him from the game. No electronic communications for 90 minutes before to the end of a game is permitted on the sidelines. The fine? $10,000. Look at all of the cheap shots, late hits...

Anyone going? Want to meet at the show? How about 10:30 AM Central time in front of the concession stand? I'll be the one who looks like an old orange rather large traffic barrel - with AU on it - and grey/white hair. Stainz (aka John)
