Goodbye all! I had fun but refuse to be censored any longer. It was fun while it lasted.

I can't recall if I included a photo of my daily carry knife. Cold Steel, five-inch, smooth edge Tanto

What about committing to learn to shoot with your left hand? You already have some good dexterity there from the instrument. That way, you could move the pistol to the left side and who knows, you may impress the girls with that little extra buldge! It's not as hard as you may imagine. I hope...

Ooo, a tough guy, huh?

Just messing with ya. I never saw them all either; however we did see the last one.

The first time I held one of these at the local gun shop, I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear and say to the counter guy, Now THAT"S a rifle!

What platform are you loading for?

There is no way you can hurt your modern...

I've taken this from the August 2021 issue of Shooting Illustrated (NRA). I believe this is excellent information and commentary. The development of elephant hunting cartridges (i.e. 450 Nitro, 470 Nitro, 500 Nitro, etc.) were intended to ensure adequate penetration of the heavy skull and if...

Now that's a slick 1911! Very nice.

Excellent devices! Ruger's large revolvers remind us of what revolvers were all about. There is just something rewarding about setting off an explosion in a bank vault at the end of your arm! Well-made and beautiful works of machinery. One wonders if any normal person has ever worn one out?
