Today I brought out my Colt Vest Pocket M1908 in 25acp. I like to shoot it at least once a year and today was that day. It was made in 1922 and came with 2 original Colt cyanide treated magazines. The tiny Colt still has all its original case colors on the trigger, thumb safety and grip safety...

I have been using an Uplula loader for about 6 years. When I first bought my Sig P365 and extra mags, it was almost a requirement when they were all new. Now I can usually load them to capacity by hand, but at the range I shoot a lot and use the Uplula. I would like to throwout a simple...

One of my good shooting buds down the street brought over his newly acquired Winchester M94 carbine chambered in 30-30. The 54 year old gun was in incredible overall condition except for a 1" piece section of the barrel just behind the rear sight dovetail. The bluing was completely worn off...

Over the last few months I have read a few posts regarding weight their carry rigs, guns, etc. and since my wife was just baking and happened to have the digital scale out, I figured I'd weigh my EDC gear which I have never done before. :eek: My empty Sig P365 with an empty 10 round magazine...

This thread is mostly meant for guys and gals new to EDC / CCW and addresses something most people don't think about in the beginning. I have learned this lesson over the years and thought I might pass it along for those who are interested and have an opened mind. Not lecturing here - just...

Note: This thread is basically for people who truly care about what oil and filter they use on their cars. I know some just bring it to their local Service Station guy and don't even ask what is being used. I suppose if you lease a car and return it after 2 or 3 years I might agree and the less...

About 5 years ago I received a Spyderco Delica K390 knife as a Birthday gift. This knife is the only Spyderco I have ever owned and was quite unfamiliar with them. I knew of their existence but not much else. I always thought of them as "ugly" knives - lol. Still not the best looking but I "get...

As I posted in another thread yesterday, a few of us made yesterday a "snub nose Chief Special day" at the indoor range (too hot now for the outdoor range). We all brought our 2" Chief's to the range as none of us has shot them recently (all former EDC / CCW guns). Anyway, we had lots of fun...

A few of us all brought our 2" model 60's to shoot today. I have not shot mine in at least 6 years as that has been how long I retired it as my EDC / CCW. My EDC for the past 6 years has been my Sig P365. My shooting buddy's all said they hadn't carried theirs in a decade as well and that was...

Yes, I am aware there are posts hidden on the Forum, (here and there) but why can't we get a comprehensive permanent Sticky that dates all our S&W firearms? I personally do own a copy of the SCSW and most of the serial numbers I am interested in are listed there, however many here do not own a...

I have been sharpening plenty of knives lately but for some reason have not come across a Benchmade that I can recall. Anyway, the knife struck me as being very well made, heavy duty and strong. It was by no means a "delicate" knife and should stand up for many decades with minimal care. The...

Up until recently I had Express VPN for 6 years and had nothing but issues, headaches & problems with it! About 3 months ago I switched to Nord VPN (posted that previously) but since I have now had Nord for 3 months I figured I'd give a quick report on it for those who might be interested in a...

https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/the-statistics-of-self-defense-don-t-bet-your-life-on-averages/ I just found this article a few minutes ago and though it to be interesting enough to post here. I know there are always discussions here about the number of rounds contained in a...

We normally BBQ steak once a week (occasionally twice) and over the past decade, Ribeye has been our choice of cut. I normally get them at Costco usually in a package of 4 but sometimes if very large they come 3 to a package. Last week I picked out a package of huge Ribeye's that looked...

I have been following the Air India flight #171 crash over the last few weeks. They have pretty much determined that the fuel was shut off on both engines. I know there have been lots of theories about what happened but some expert pilot commentators are now "suggesting" that the fuel was...

We went out with 4 other couples this evening to one of our favorite Italian restaurants. The food and service were terrific and we had a really great time. When we were walking back to our cars I found $15 dollars (3 five dollar bills) laying in the parking lot. There was no one around and so...

Here in SWFL AC drip lines are always getting clogged up with the goopy stuff. It's actually a form of bacteria and it clogs the drip line which in turn causes the float switch to automatically turn off the unit until it is cleaned out. Of course this never happens at a convenient time - always...

We have all gone on YouTube to research how to do a certain procedure, how to repair a plumbing issue, a car or household appliance. If you are good at discerning which video's are worth their salt then YouTube can be a great tool - no argument! But now YouTube has been flooded with propaganda...

My usual range day is Friday but since it is July 4th and we have a party to go to we went today. While showering this morning I was pondering which gun I'd bring today. We did not have a lot of time to spend at the range so only one gun was being brought. I could not think of a better one than...
