Is that statement of the ammo load correct - only 50 rounds per gun? That would go awful quick. Are you sure there shouldn't be another zero with that?

When I retired, I moved from an urban area to a very rural one. I transferred my medical records to the new location. As the nurse was processing me, she asked if I owned any guns, then before I could answer, said "Or is that none of my business?" I said I would've phrased it more politely...

I was in VN with the 101st Airborne when they stood down to go home in early 1972. I got transferred to the 162nd Assault Helicopter Co. of the First Aviation Brigade in Can Tho. They were still flying the Huey gunships, supposedly the last unit in VN to do so, as well as UH-1H slicks...

Years ago, I had 2 .357's ported, a Python & an S&W L frame, both 4" barrels. I can't really say how much it helped w/o having an unported example to compare side-by-side. One thing I have noticed, when I shoot cast bullets, I get lead build-up on the top of the barrel ahead of the ports...

I would've liked to see an evaluation on how effective they would be against modern tanks. I expect they wouldn't do much more than scorch the paint.

When I went through the police academy in 1976, I was taught the isosceles. In 1982 I went to Gunsite & switched over to the Weaver. I used that for the rest of my career, while transitioning from revolvers to auto pistols, & always did well. I usually shot a perfect score on my quals (which...
