    Are We At War Now?

    I'm sure everyone has heard it by now, but the US Air Force has just completed bombing raids against three separate sites inside Iran. I'm not certain what authority the President used to order this attack, but here it is regardless. He made the announcement on Truth Social but it is Topic #1...

    New To Me CS45

    I just couldn't resist posting a pic of my new acquisition! This is the second CS45 I've purchased from members here in the forum and I have found them to be everything I was looking for in an EDC. This one came to me pristine with a very low round count, and I installed the wood grips that I...

    Prices Going Down So I Bought A New Truck!

    My old (2013) Chevy turned 11 years old this year and I have been looking around for the past few years at new ones with no serious intent on actually buying one. The prices since 2020 to replace what I had were absurd - around $90-95k! I pretty much gave up and didn't look at all last year...

    CS45 Recoil Rod Plastic Tip???

    I recently purchased a CS45D from another forum member here and really love carrying it as my CCW. The .45 cartridge really speaks to me. I have several other S&W 3rd Gen semi-auto pistols in different calibers, but my CS45D has one very unusual feature - the spring-loaded retractable tip of...

    I Don't Load My Own, But I Have A Question - 30SC

    Greetings, This is a hypothetical question centered on the new 30 Super Carry. I was perusing through the data Remington has published on their new 30 Super Carry round. They advertise that 30SC will have "9mm-like performance with less recoil and more rounds". They showed a comparison chart...

    You Might Be An American If...

    In celebration of our nation's birthday, I thought it would be nice to post something I did for a creative writing project many years ago. It has a slightly humorous slant to it, but I think it is quite appropriate. Here it is (drum roll, please...): You might be an American if…   You've...

    M&P 380EZ Magazine Follower

    I finally found some .380ACP ammo and have decided to take my 380EZ back to the range. While I've not been particularly affected by the stovepipe with the last round issue, I can recall reading that someone here helped alleviate that problem on their pistol by scuffing up the top surface of the...

    Fascinating Video on Shell Production

    This isn't necessarily about making ammunition for what we shoot, but I ran across this fascinating video on how 3" anti-aircraft shells were produced during World War II. For something so readily used in such large quantities I was amazed at how much precision machining went into these shells...

    Electronic Hearing Protection

    For years I've been on the fence as to purchasing electronic hearing protection - specifically earmuffs that have built-in speakers that quickly reduce the volume when exposed to a loud noise. However, I recently found a set of Howard Leight (Honeywell) Impact Sport Bolt earmuffs for a very...
