    Aluminum Case Ammo

    The Blazer .44 Mag 240 gr ammo I was buying 30 years ago was a medium velocity round. I think I read somewhere it was rated at 1,000 fps. An easy shooting, low recoil round.

    SWAT hit on wrong house update

    It took a Youtube video from a civil rights guy to get the dirty department to come clean if it's the case I'm thinking of.

    Lack of interest in 40 SW yet 10MM is getting popular??

    Modern, scientific method terminal ballistics show there is surprisingly little difference in stopping power between the popular handgun rounds on human like creatures. Though on larger, tougher animals heavier, non-expanding bullets' enhanced penetration can be advantageous. You have to get...

    Got a call from Homeland Security

    For SS# requests it used to be (maybe still?) Barry Soetoro's stolen SS# was easy to find on the interwebs. Have heard of folks giving it out

    Got a call from Homeland Security

    I answer with an impatient and harried "desk four." That buys a pause. It's not what I say as much as how I say it. Legit calls get an explanation and apology. Generally, they think it is funny. Scammers, if they persist, get an aggressive "how did you get this number?" If they still persist...

    Motorcycle Seat Advice

    I had a Corbin seat on a RK of about that vintage. Beautiful and comfortable but expensive. The stock seat on my Ultra was good for about 40 minutes. I guess HD was more concerned with showroom comfort than distance riding which annoyed me and I determined not to buy another seat from them. I...

    No more or less than any other Magnum cartridge.

    Uplula loading devise for Semi-Auto's. A suggestion in their usage.

    The UpLULA loader is so good it has more counterfeit copies on the market than any other I am aware of. You really need to buy them from established, well known sellers. Beware of Ebay and Amazon type sellers. Details about 1/3 of the way down the page. https://www.maglula.com/product/uplula/

    Go ahead and sneer, it says more about you than the people you mock. The areas where brown bear live are also hunting, fishing, hiking and camping paradises. Lots of visitors and more encounters than the local human population would suggest. When I lived in Livingston, MT grizzlies were not on...

    Lack of interest in 40 SW yet 10MM is getting popular??

    The .357 is indeed not a great bear round but the 10mm is the strongest mainstream semi-auto cartridge. Some pretty smart outdoorsmen choose them and have determined the advantages outweigh the lack of big bore power. For instance, the Greenland Sirius Patrol have killed at least one polar...

    Home Defense Shotguns

    I'd like to voice an opinion on shot size and encourage some to reconsider their choices for self-defense loads. If you are shooting at someone in self-defense, priority-rule #1 is to quickly stop them. Period. Loads with birdshot and to a lesser degree even #4 buckshot do not penetrate well...

    Lack of interest in 40 SW yet 10MM is getting popular??

    Fads and fashion drive the market to a great degree. The .40 S&W was oversold and time has shown it is not really more lethal than the 9mm Parabellum. Part of the 10mm resurgence is due to knowledgeable outdoor types realizing it has enough penetration for heavier animals while offering more...

    Wanna impress your buddies?

    The photographer is very accomplished. It is hard to capture the beauty of a good, blued finish. Edit: It could be a DLC finish, hard to tell from a photo.

    Wanna impress your buddies?

    No accounting for taste. While I dislike the full engraving treatment someone else will like it and their tastes are as valid as mine. KRC guns are very, very nice. Were I in the market for a gun of their quality and price level they would be on my short list. This one is near perfect for my...
