My mother was of that era. About ten years ago the restaurant table next to us included a young woman in the old whites and cap. Mom was going on about how inappropriate it was to wear the cap outside the hospital until I told her they were actors from the theater next door. That made it...

Max. Dressed up for the occasion.

This. Amen.

I think you overestimate the intelligence of many elected criminals.

Here's a revolver Pablo designed himself.

A 1920s era M&P 6 inch. Also my first centerfire handgun. I practiced with it for a year before joining the local PD where I was duly informed that it was not authorized for duty carry (4" limit). I traded it and a Remington 870 for a 28-2 4". I've lost count of how many have passed through...

Maybe we could start a movement. It worked with SASS/CAS shooting single action revolvers and lever action rifles. Limited to DA revolvers introduced before 1960, with a "Modern" category to allow L Frames. Reloads from belt loops, pockets or dump pouches (speed loaders and speed strips in...

IMO you have better provenance than appears in 95% plus of the "attributed" guns listed by a certain famous auction house, which shall remain nameless.

That, too. And I've been known to produce toxic gasses. My brother says it is a violation of the Geneva convention to give me radishes.

Gotta love a Claymore. It has my life motto on it.

I have had good success with the .22 Hornet on small trees.🌲

Interesting to read people's perspective on "stuff". When we were first married my wife would respond to the loss of some treasured material item with a shrug and "someday it will all burn anyway". We both lost sight of that along the way and are now slogging through making our son's burden...

My experience with the Beretta is limited to T&E on the job almost 40 years ago, but there is no way it will ever replace the Colt 1892/1894 series in .38 Long Colt as the worst US military sidearm. 😁

I suspect there's a demographic aspect, too. Some of us Boomers a) have the guns we want; 2) spend our free time shooting what we already have; c) have tastes that do not run to acquiring one of every variation of plastic fantastic or black rifle to hit the market (and with a few notable...

Dennis #1, Chuck #2 and a Grand Slam for MetalMan today.

My recollection is that the Army Special did not have separate SN runs by caliber and the standard calibers were .32-20, .38 Special and .41 Long Colt.

My engagement present was a gun. Her most frequent response when I come home with a new addition is "Where's mine?". A few years ago she spotted a gun she wanted and while she was making out the paperwork I was looking over the selection in the used case. Found something I had thought about...

A quick Interweb search found Randy Newman's height listed from 5'2" to 6', depending on source, including one that said he is now 5'8" but used to be 5'11". Anyone know how he identifies? (Tall, short?)

While Longmire may be a hoax IMDb shows a remake of The Gauntlet as in preproduction with Scarlett Johansson in the Sondra Locke role. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32491325/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_unrel_cdt_t_4 Saw the Eastwood original with my academy class the night before graduation.

I started with dump pouches and our state mandated qualification COF Stage 1 was fire 6, load 6, fire 2, load 2, fire 4, load 4, fire 6. I was an early adopter of speed strips and still use them. There was no good reason to dump 4 live rounds in order to load 6. Newhall was a recent memory and...
