    Trip to a Gun Show

    I had my choice of two within a short distance of each other, but picked the one with a better layout and also a lower entry price. Based on past experience at both, this one would have a better chance of maybe having a 3rd Gen or two. It had two and I'll get to that in a minute. There's a...

    "Fun" with my Equalizer

    Late last year I decided to buy a "modern" S&W semi auto. A large gun store chain had a special on the Equalizer, with five magazines, UpLula magazine loader, can case for under $500.00. It was just too good a deal to pass up, even if I decided I didn't really like it. I even rented one at the...

    Two 457s to the range

    Earlier in the month I brought my "Unzander Special" 457S with a carbon steel upper to the range. It's been a while since I shot it, so I figured it was time. The results were disappointing as I kept pulling shots to my left, including a couple that were totally off the paper of the reduced...

    Twelve Commandments for Senior Citizens

    Knowing this crowd, I figure this will fit right in here. If we can't laugh at ourselves, others will do it for us. BTW, I hate the term "Golden Years." That's rust, not gold. TWELVE COMMANDMENTS FOR SENIORS: #1 - Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice #2 - “In Style” are...

    Shot it and then Bought it

    I've been "contemplating" an Equalizer since early summer. I read on line reviews which were overall positive. I'm not a big fan of striker fired gun and had an early M&P9c which I wasn't over fond of and sold to fund a 6906. At some point I was going to look around for a used one, but...

    Third Gens at a Gun Show

    They are few and far between these days. Most people aren't really interested in them, many dealers don't know much (if anything) about them. I went a show in Leander this morning. A pretty decent selection of dealers, most showing the same Smiths, Sigs, FNs, etc. I found three 3rd Gens for...

    TSW base plates

    After years of delays, I have a person printing up some TSW style base plates for the pre rail 39xx TSW guns. Of course they also work well for the CS9 and I'd expect any other 39xx gun. I still need to meet up with him to do a test fit into my 3913TSW as he might need to "shave" a few mics...

    The Saddest Thing I've Seen

    In a pawn shop on Saturday I spotted a 4043 in the display case. Why was it so sad? Because someone had Ceracoated it black and pink tiger striped. I would have taken a picture, but I think some of you might have cried. Besides, they were a pretty busy and I didn't want to waste their time...

    New Netflix Scam

    I received two emails this morning asking me to verify my Netflix billing information. Two problems with that. 1) I don't have a Netflix account. 2) Both came from different email addresses and neither was from a "Netflix.com" address. Just a FYI to any of you who do have Netflix...

    Springs and things

    I have a couple of 6906 magazines which could use new springs. I prefer OEM springs, which seem to have become extinct. I had my Brownell's account set to alert me when they came in as they were listed as out of stock. I was surprised when I received an email this morning telling me they were...

    Magazine Find

    I was going to do a "What do we have here" post, but I'm pretty sure I know what this is. Anyway, my wife and I went to the Texas State Surplus Store in Austin this afternoon. We got a few small things and when we go I always check the confiscated magazine bin. The store sells all of the...

    Moving

    My wife and I have sold our house in Massachusetts and are moving to Williamson County, TX. It's been a long time in planning, but it's time to leave the northeast. Weather, politics, and anti 2A sentiments are all part of the decision. We don't have much family left, but we are sad that we...

    Ooops I did it again

    We're preparing for a move from MA to TX and part of that has been disposing of firearms that don't get used a lot. One of those a few weeks ago was a pre rail 3953TSW that I just couldn't bring myself to put in a holster. It was ANIB, so it was pretty close to perfect. I'm also not...
