    Do You Own Too Many Guns?

    So true as I had a Briefing Sergeant making fun of me once (in the glory days) of his concern of how many weapons were on me... After the two pistols and the boot knife didn't bother him as much knowing I would use it. Boy some of em forget, once they get a little rank.:sneaky: I did tell him...

    Do You Own Too Many Guns?

    Hmm, how many do I have? In my working years I had an armory I could go to and check one out and use their ammo. So, I had no interest other than my duty weapons and a couple antiques. But alas, I retired and found the world of firearms had changed in the civilian domain and was like a kid in...

    The Incredible Story of F-6D Mustang Pilot Elmer Pankratz

    Was able and lucky enough to get a ride in a P-51 (as baggage as there were no controls in the back) and the plane is everything they say it is and performed Acro like a dream. Actually got some stick time in that period's Stearman and SNJ to find for their size, they handle like box cars in...

    Reasons for Concealed Carry: My Interview with a Psychopath

    Interesting subject as being involved with homicide for over 15 years in LE, I have met three or four true sociopaths in a criminal situation, as it often involved several victims. I have met them in Society as well with stronger tells, yet not criminals at all, but wouldn't drink any coffee...

    McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet — U.S. Navy’s Do-It-All Aircraft

    The Squids? Good thing I am like a gun, with only one trigger... I digress as I am here with kindred spirits and with that said, "FLY NAVY". As the AOA on the Hornet is second to none. Or it was as it like many aircraft called "trucks" last well beyond their intended lifespan. The Buff...

    Is Constitutional Carry a Mistake?

    Mixed feelings on this as I had with the conceal carry permits being allowed during my LE days. However, always a stat man in relationship to laws, I found the numbers with the crimes stopped and so few revoked supportive of the allowance. That said, Constitutional Carry removes the important...

    Ayoob: Is It Time to Retire the 1911?

    I too carried a .45 ACP for many years for work from Colt 1911 to FN-45 tactical and wanted to actually give-in and get a 9mm range pistol, but found I still wanted metal over polymer this time. And damn ended up with a Beretta that weighs well over three pounds empty with brake and optic and...

    Pandemic Prepping Lessons: What Did We Learn?

    Yep about a year later I was picking up some meds, at the local pharmacy as I was told my annual flu shot was there and if I wanted it. My response was "I thought the Fauci Flu Shot cured that!" I couldn't see the facial expression due to the assistant still wearing the mask, but I could...

    Pandemic Prepping Lessons: What Did We Learn?

    What did I learn from the Fauci Flu Fiasco... Just how gullible the Cult of Compliance can be to include Mass Formation Psychosis and the mandate persecution from failing to comply. Being stopped from traveling, buying of items and in the end, concentration camps in some countries. Bank...

    Is an Empty Chamber Dangerous?

    Oh Hell, I had terrible angst over buying a auto-pistol with a safety, much less if there is a round in the chamber. All my "loaded" handguns are ready to rock, even the compact with the safety (first striker-fired) if not in my pocket. Decades of LE made it that the way period with the only...

    What Is Direct Impingement?

    Shovelhead73, I owned one of those and often wonder where she is today... I ride a Victory now and less hair for the wind. But bought the FX, new while in High School and noticed the Daddy's locking up their daughters as I rumbled up the driveway. The long hair and Fu Manchu didn't help much...

    Carbon Fiber Barrel vs. Steel — Which Is Better?

    Great read for those of us they were a bit suspect as to the longevity of Carbon wrapped. Watched a "you-tube" the other day of a thousand rounds passed through one, in a short time. Found I was surprised the carbon was cooler than the exposed steel. Didn't watch to the end and will have to...

    Flying the Bell AH-1 Cobra Gunship

    You teaching the techs to fly, was a wise one. Working for a Company that surmised it would more cost effective to allow them to do starts and run-ups, not knowing how to fly was okay. Some of us old grays thought, hmm, how long till... Not disappointed in our concern, one Tech got to solo...

    What Is Direct Impingement?

    Well done and wish an article like this was around in the early days, before I started messing with em... But like any new subject it would have aided in one to grasp the concept beyond sticking some oil in the holes above the... ah... ringy thingies? I asked my sleek nitrated chrome-lined hunk...

    M72 LAW: American Light Anti-Tank Weapon in Vietnam and Beyond

    Just like the Huey, M-14, .45 ACP, and even the ole OH-58 (which they did kill with a less efficient helo at 3 times the cost), them 1950 designers had their act together. Hell even the AH Cobra is soldiering on with the Marines as some weapons systems are just that good. With the Battle Field...

    Two-Tone Desert FDE M1A Review

    Got a standard issue back in 97 and now it resides on an Arch Angel stock and Venom glass mounted on top. In hind-sight should have gotten the match Barrel instead as it is a moa+ rifle, but still a hoot to shoot. Especially banging metal or standard targets, but ruined with the Creedmoor for...

    AKM vs. AK-47: What’s the Difference?

    Yep, that would be it and mine either, but that trigger is sweet…. Keep it with the thumbhole to remind me of the last time the rifles were under assault.
