“Revolver”. The cylinder rotates. NASA says… "Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object

Yes. But not well. I’ve bought at least two N frames that had K frame target grips on them. Simple switch-a-roo.

I reloaded off and on for 50 years. A couple of years ago I realized I never liked it. I have all my gear in the basement. Its too heavy to bother with selling and shipping. My kids are shooters, but not interested in reloading. I’m pretty sure it is a dying hobby. I don’t know any younger...

My extensive ignore list has survived. And now I can post pictures straight from my phone photo library. Nice.

.38 S&W M&P help, please (Updated with letter) Let add my little bit to the resurrection. There are photos in the linked thread. My 4” .38 S&W letters to South Africa. It somehow avoided all the usual hieroglyphics, either by never going anywhere or coming back outside of the usual channels...

What a thread. I was a firearms instructor as an additional duty for many years. I qualified FBI agents, tribal cops, and some others. When I retired, I had a gig qualifying FFDOs. Look it up if you don’t know what it means. I shoot every week at a local indoor range. If you think the...

John Wayne. I can take him as a cowboy but when puts on a military uniform the hypocrisy is too much. I thought he was ok in True Grit.

A quick update. My Jersey Luger is still going strong. It goes to the range with me almost every week, and its record with cheapo Thunderbolts is still flawless. This is my favorite impulse buy. The smooth grips always bugged me a little. I upgraded with these checkered ones from from eBay...

I paid 7 bills for this one 10 years ago, so yeah I think so. Mine is a .45 and not a ton of fun to shoot, but it is a joy to carry. A 9mm might be the best of both worlds. PS: No Turkish or Filipino 1911 will ever equal a Colt.

Hahahahaha! Its the rise of the curmudgeons!

When I could only carry what the bosses said, I was also against the “carry rotation”. Now that I can carry whatever I want I’m a big fan of it. Today it was my old Colt Cobra. Tomorrow it might be a Chief Special or a 6906. If I watch Key Largo again tonight you can bet it will be a Pocket...

Happiest of birthdays to your better half. She looks like she wouldn’t mind too much if I got drunk and slept on your couch. That is the highest praise I have!

Hahahaha! That’s the same way I feel about Sig P365s!

Any bullet can penetrate. The real hard part is being aware of what’s behind the target and not shooting at all. I won’t give the whole saga, but I once didn’t shoot a guy who was armed with a gun and had fled the scene of a fatal shooting. He turned around with the gun in his hand when I told...

The mighty .32 caliber has always “punched above it’s weight class”. Its easy to shoot, there when you need it, and that hard little bullet penetrates deeply. No gimmicks required. I carry one often. Plain ol’ FMJ, from whatever maker is available, foreign or domestic.

I’d hurt myself jumping at a $500 Trooper! Seven bills and up all day long around here.

Like Uvalde PD?

.32 ACP ball, maker doesn’t matter. Will work fine in a revolver. If thats not available, .32 S&W Long, lead round nose. Maker doesn’t matter. Land it between the shirt pockets.
