I inherited only two from my grandfather; the first was his M-336A which I think might hve belonged to my uncle but I can't prove it. The second is a Japanese Model type I. For those of you who don't know what a Type I is it is a Japanese 6.5mm barrel and furniture on a Italian Carcano receiver...

The best ever .22 ???? The one in you hand that you know so well that when you want, need a quick sure shot it delivers every time no questions asked. Single shot, bolt action or semi-auto it doesn't matter as long as it performs when you need it. I have some of all mentioned and truth be they...

Some great ones to remember: Marrying my wife off 44 years. The second for us both. Getting into the Coast Guard when it was nearly impossible. Being promoted to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer W2 and retiring at that rank. Paying off our mortgage January 1 of 2024. Living 50 years beyond the...

Gentlemen; all this talk is about small guns and small calibers. These are bad breath distance firearms. Not 50 yards, not 25 yards, not even 15 yards. Look around and think about your every day lives. Other than the mall, street/sidewalk, or show venue, where are you going to encounter such...

Some time back (January, I think) I ordered a Mernickle holster for my like new S&W 659. It arrived two weeks ago, and initial examination suggests it to be made for several lifetimes of use. the fit and finish is equal to the other items I have ordered from the company, from both the Nevada and...

In December of 2024 I bought my doctors 1994 Mercedes Benz C280 with 93+ thousand miles on it. It now has 113+ thousand. She only drove it from home to work on sunny days but that drive was regardless of the road conditions. It has some serious cancer issues. I'm having them addressed as I can...

The last time i took my shotgun along for the ride my wife got jealous because i spent more time with my shotgun than her. Just because it was in my lap while she was driving really shouldn't have anything to do with it. At least that is my view.

An uneducated gun writer and his less than stellar editor do not make it right regardless of their eminence in the industry. So I will continue to say; SHAME ON THE WRITER AND EVEN MORE SHAME ON HIS/HER EDITOR. Somehow I'm thinking when Colt brought out the .45 Colt cartridge, they didn't call...

Would someone please tell me, what is this cartridge everyone calls a .45 Long Colt. Is there a .45 Short Colt or is the .45 Long Colt some new cartridge longer than a .45 Colt but shorter than a .45-70. Or is this a renaming of an older cartridge I've never heard of? People who write for gun...

There are no magic bullets. True, but there are magic words. We use the magic words after the magic bullets fail. Magic words are not words used in polite company or conversation. When your magic bullets fail, and all you have left are magic words, be certain they are not derogatory against...

Charlie, please, may I also be added to the list? When ready to send it my way I'll be happy to supply shipping address and costs. Llance

I strongly recommend against a WWII Luger. Why? Because some were manufactured by slave labor. The parts on 6 that I looked at only one was manufactured by all hired labor. The five had poor fit and finish and when I spoke to the owners, they all indicated they were poor shooters. Sometimes not...

Worth?? Exactly what you paid for it. I have a couple of them and I overpaid for the first, but the second was given to me. I like 'em. Llance

I've said it before, one of you past relatives has decided to haunt you. He or she (in my case it's my mother) visits when she knows I need that part and usually there isn't a replacement to be had anywhere on the planet. Generally within hours or days the part shows up in a location I've...

"BRANDISHING" In the Peoples Demoncratic Republic of Illinois, the unintentional show of a concealed firearm does not constitute brandishing. If I were to purposely hold the coat open so the concealed firearm could be seen, that would be brandishing. By allowing the wind to open my jacket, and...

My rotation firearms for ccw range from a .32 caliber to a .45 caliber. They all have one thing in common, they are all 1911 style pistols. I don't want to have to deal with a difference in grip, action, trigger, safety style or what have you. The only real difference is when I'm carrying my...
