https://gunsmagazine.com/guns/reconsidering-the-carry-rotation/ Along with the clever turn of the phrase he makes the backhanded point that switching between firearm types requires thorough familiarity with each type. I went through a period of pistol promiscuity about 40 years ago before...

My Aunt Marion spent July 4, 1941 in a lifeboat in the North Atlantic. As part of a team of Red Cross nurses on their way to England to staff a hospital donated by Harvard University she was aboard the Norwegian freighter Vigrid when it was torpedoed by U-371 on June 24. By the 4th they were...

After all of the horror stories about (un)availability of Alliant powders I started looking for an alternative. I had just gotten comfortable with BE-86 as a replacement for Bullseye in .38 Special, but again, it is an Alliant powder. After researching load data I decided to try H4227...

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their...

I received this holster this morning from Ed Rodek of Springfield, IL. He recently started offering holsters for the Hi Power and I had to have one. I have been a long time fan of the original Roy Baker pancakes and this is the first copy I've encountered that didn't either cut corners or try...

Didn't know whether this properly belongs here or in the 2nd Amendment section, but I'll risk the ding and wish the NRA a happy 173rd birthday.

I just finished reading Judge McGlynn's decision on the IL Assault Weapons/High Capacity magazine ban. While I expect an appeal to be filed during the 30 day stay, and the 7th Circuit has not shared his reasoning in a case involving a similar municipal ordinance, I think the decision is clearly...

Has anyone done business with this outfit? They show 2400 and Unique in stock. I placed an order but the payment options were limited to PayPal and Zelle and couldn't be completed through the website. As of now I am not out anything, but the email exchanges to set up payment seem odd...

I'm streamlining calibers in the accumulation and this is the last .44. A 629-2 Mountain Revolver. One of the initial 5,000 before the Mountain Gun Series took off. I bought it used and have no idea on total round count. I have fired less than 500 rounds, 90% of which were "cowboy" level .44...

I didn't want to hijack Faulkner's Amber Alert story, but the pictures of Daisy reminded me of Lady, one of Daisy's kin. When my oldest son was a toddler my wife learned of a couple that was going to have to surrender an adult female border collie due to a move to a no pets apartment. When we...

Apparently the Dodge Durango is a popular target for carjackers in DC. Unfortunately for one young thug it is also popular with the US Marshal's Service. According to CBS news an 18 year old tapped his gat on the window of Justice Soto-Mayor's security detail last night and got a bullet in the...

Clearing out my Mom's things last week I came on this in the same box with memorabilia from the Aleutians in WWII and Japan and Korea later. This Wasp was my original. Needs a good cleaning and some ring caps. I was hooked. Actually, a pot metal snubbie that took roll caps and loaded by...

Last month I did something dangerous. I navigated to a gun auction site that frequently includes police seizures and former LE sidearms and scrolled through the revolvers. There, for what seemed like a very reasonable price, was a Model 60 with rosewood magnas. It also had visible scratches down...

An old colleague recently took a trip to Mackinac Island, MI. He reports that the Chief of Police there carries a 4" S&W .45 with a 12 round belt slide for reloads. I'm working on getting a picture. For those who don't know, cars are banned on the island and there is a general turn of the last...

In an effort to divest myself of a lot of accumulated grips, holsters and other gun stuff I took a table at what used to be one of the more busy shows in our area. I knew attendance had fallen off, but at almost any time today vendors outnumbered attendees. Needless to say I had a lot of time...

I've decided to change my voice message for the benefit of SPAM callers: No one is available to take your call. For English marque dos; para Espanol press one; to have your bank account drained, enter your nine-digit Social Security Number, followed by the pound key; for all other calls...

Ever since I read Gulliver's Travels It is the folly of too many to mistake the echo of a London coffee house for the voice of the kingdom. It often happens that, if a lie is believed only for an hour, it had done its work and there is no further occasion for it. You cannot reason a person...
