    When the Viet Cong Sank an Aircraft Carrier

    Wow, never heard of this before... Clever devils and why in the end they are making some quality products we and the World are buying. I did serve, but only after we pulled out of that quagmire Then as now, see it as total mistake and bless those that were drafted and those that served in...

    Was the 1911’s Grip Safety a Mistake?

    Hell no and I absolutely hate the dingis hanging out of a trigger. I have a Ruger and the damn thing pinches my finger and causes more discomfort than the recoil snap from 9mm shorts and it weighs nothing... I think it is such a GOOD idea, Sig ought to incorporate on the 320, that will end...

    Pocket Carry with the Hellcat .380

    Nice article and although I use a different conceal pocket, I like because i am carrying... That said with jeans I just ensure the bottom of the holster engages within the back of the pocket to leave it behind...

    M21 Sniper Rifle — A Short History

    Got attached to M-14 as it issued for security details while in the Navy. Bought the civilian model many moons ago and dropped onto an Arch Angel stock system, but it has the standard barrel. Eyeballing one in Creedmoor for upgrading and return the 308 back to standard format as it is really a...

    Vietnam’s Forgotten Gunship: The ACH-47A Chinook

    And to think it leaked more hydraulic fluid than the 58 held... If it was a OH-58 A or C, yeah, pretty much everything leaves ya, lol. But have some time in the 206 A/B/C/ L1/L3/L4, something about the old school and the way they fly. The OH-58D and 407, a bit faster, but drank the fuel.

    Ayoob: Why I Don’t Want a Custom 1911

    Yeah, that darn Tisa 1911 in nickel with a 9mm and a .38 Super barrel thrown in for around 400- 450 clams (on sale) keeps haunting me...

    Ayoob: Why I Don’t Want a Custom 1911

    Ah never took the knee to the Austrian Plastic Fantastic and still don't own one... Shot em and can say they shoot just fine and right out of the box. In my case as everyone gave up their .357 magnum wheel guns, for the 9mm S&W 659 (Glocks were still a naw factor, because of the plastic at...

    Big Green Is Back: The Story Behind Remington Ammo

    Great news and I do find the UMC Remington vs Remington Range and Target do vary in accuracy, in 124 gr 9mm anyway... The latter is better in the Beretta Performance.

    Ayoob: Is It Time to Retire the 1911?

    I reassemble that remark... But was fortunate enough to have replaced my six-shooter with one of them newfangled semi-autos in DA/SA in the mid 80's. Yeah, it is fun with the occasionally lighting up all the targets in seconds in the big boy's caliber, to see you have shocked the...

    Ayoob: Is It Time to Retire the 1911?

    The 1911 is like some kind of addiction and used to recover from the plastic in the environment right now, even in your blood... Gotta have metal be it carbon or stainless just some kind of steel, must be an iron thing. Oh, I like the Ruger .44 Mag and the only .44 I have ever shot. Once was...

    Ayoob: Is It Time to Retire the 1911?

    Hmm had a 220 back in 1996 and never really warmed up to it and ended with the H&K USP, in God's caliber of course... As for a safety? Had a de-cocker, but no safety other than my finger and DA first...
