    Things you can't find at home.

    Like most of you who have been around or carried guns for decades, I have a 4 drawer dresser full of holsters plus a few stashed away in organizers set up for particular guns. I recently picked up a new LEO Qualified S&W M638 during the Ohio sales tax holiday (for an even greater deal). Today I...

    Stocking up on Ammo.

    How many here are taking advantage of the current price drops on ammo to stock up? Since the mid 1990's I have tried to take advantage of drops in the ammo market to build up healthy supplies of all calibers that I shoot. This strategy has allowed me to avoid the ammo shortages and spikes in...

    AIM Surplus Police Trade In M64-6

    Well I've hit the ground in 2025 running. I made it all the way to January 4th before buying my first firearm for the year. While it is handy living within about 30 minutes driving time from AIM Surplus sometimes that can be a curse also. I've been watching AIM's inventory listings for a...

    OK now I'm in the Christmas mood.

    Christmas is not a big deal for me and I really can't get into the spirit of things until I get around to watching this video. Darlene Love's last performance of "Christmas, Baby Please Come Home" on David Letterman's show in 2014. I was fortunate enough to see this performance on the night she...

    Just $19 a month.

    For the past year or so I have noticed numerous well known large charity organizations running tv commercials, all shilling for donations. The one common denominator I have noticed is that they all are asking for a reoccurring monthly donation "of just $19 a month". Here more recently I have...

    Posterior Vitreous Detachment PSA

    Last Friday morning I sat down to pay the monthly bills. I immediately noticed something was wrong with my left eye vision. I had a jumbo sized "floater" to the left side of my vision. I also was experiencing "lightning flashes" in my left eye. I was NOT experiencing any pain or discomfort in...

    Real World Trauma Training

    Now that I am fully retired I have been trying to take a couple different training classes each year, depending on cost/budget. Usually I focus on different firearms training classes but every now & then I try to include something a little different. Last Saturday I took an all day class...

    Looking Back

    Has anyone else looked up current photos of your childhood home(s) on the computer or other homes that were significant to you when you grew up? I looked up my childhood home (18 years) not long ago and was pleasantly surprised that it had not changed much from my memories. At least not on the...

    M64-2 Sharp edges, advice.

    I spent all day Sunday taking a snubby revolver class using a M64-2 2inch that I picked up here on this Forum. The M64 shot great but I did wind up shedding some blood due to some sharp spots that I would like to smooth out. Before I get out the Dremel and some Cratex bits, I figured I better...

    "Slow" M66-3

    Just a couple of interesting findings after running several different types of ammunition through several different snubby revolvers using my new Garmin Xero C1 chronograph. I have been testing ammo through my old 2 3/4 in .357 Ruger Security Six, a (new to me) 2 1/2 in. S&W M66-3 and a 2 in...

    Lead, Plated, Jacketed velocities.

    I'm trying to work up a decent factory equivalent 158gr 38 spl practice load for an upcoming snubby revolver class. I prefer to use a plated bullet for this class, due to the number of rounds fired during the day and I don't want to have to deal with lead fouling afterwards. I wanted to use the...

    Worldwide Conflicts

    Question for our well informed membership. Monday morning thoughts. Do you think there are more widespread armed conflicts taking place in the world today or are the same old ones just getting more media coverage currently? If there are an increased number of expanding scale conflicts in...

    Cautious about soaking in Ed's Red.

    I lucked into a very clean, excellent condition M66-3 on consignment this morning at a little hole in the wall local gunshop. You just don't see many desirable used S&W revolvers around here, much less in this condition. This one didn't have the box/papers but appears to have the factory stocks...

    Reducing aggressive 2.0 M&P grip texture

    I recently had to take a road trip and pulled out my 9mm M2.0 M&P Compact (15rd frame) instead of my usual carry CSX. I found that the aggressive texturing of the Compact's grip was "grabbing" the interior of the sweatshirt I was wearing more than I liked. (I've used this pistol for a couple of...
