    My 10mm vs. a Mountain Lion

    I have killed two Western cougars in my time and both with a single action Ruger in .22WRM. (Both were treed and I was on horseback.) I also live in Illinois and have encountered both bobcats and bobcat tracks despite the IDOC's pronouncements regarding bobcats in Illinois. All of that said I...

    How Many Magazines Do You Keep On Hand Per Gun?

    Mostly 10 per semi auto pistol. I have over 100 for my M1 Carbine. 12 Ruger 22WRM rotary magazines for my 77/22WRM All Weather Boat Paddle because I worry about them being discontinued My matching 77/22LR I only have 4 magazines for.

    Preparing for the Unexpected — Self-Defense and Home Invasion

    They would have trouble with our windows and sliding glass doors. It is part of the prep albeit somewhat expensive. The home is brick over concrete which is also expensive. Our exterior doors have steel mesh and are on steel reinforced frames set in concrete. Locks are Grade One commercial long...

    8 Top Micro 9mm Pistols

    My wife's primary carry is a Boberg which is the earlier iteration of the Bond Arms Bullpup and she loves it. She has carried it since it was offered for sale and has 1000s of rounds through it with no problems. I had originally bought it as as backup piece to my SA XDs in .45 ACP and she...

    8 Top Micro 9mm Pistols

    They also left many choices off the list as well which I pretty much expected. If one doesn't see the tactical need for high capacity magazines my first choice would be the Bond Arms Bullpup which was not on the list. Since pocket carry is not high on my list for my primary carry I also like...

    What Is Your Favorite Knife Locking Mechanism?

    I really like the Buck style lock when doing heavy work but for lighter work especially when I am constantly closing the knife during repetitive tasks, the one handed usefulness of a liner lock is also nice. For skinning elk, deer, bear, etc I have a fixed bladed skinner I have used for since...

    How many Russians does it take to capture Kyiv?

    If you don't know, don't worry about it. Putin doesn't know either.

    Springfield purchases unified manufacturing building

    Neither Springfield or Peoria is very close to Geneseo. Peoria does, however, have a far better cornucopia of restaurants and night life. Moline and Rock Island are closer than Davenport by the way. Geneseo does have The Cellar restaurant which is surprisingly good but not much for motels...

    Ukraine… Will Russia Invade ?

    Personally, I think we are headed to World War III which will be nuclear. If we somehow survive it, those of us who have a stockpile of ammo and firearms will be happy we have them.

    Are bayonets gear or lounge material?

    Cold Steel makes spears that many have used on feral hogs. I would not recommend them for the true Russian boars found in the Eastern Mountains of Tennessee. - I have found .22 WRM to be sufficient for hog hunting in Texas but on the Russians I have seen one hog shot three times with a 30-30*...

    More on those front sights not glowing

    From a dive watch web site: Tritium Source: Most companies use the same tritium source for their watches – which is Switzerland’s MB-Microtec AG. They are the best in their field, and all watches with tritium gas tubes will have their name engraved on the casing. Warranty Length: These types...

    More on those front sights not glowing

    I like and agree with what you wrote. Very comprehensive. That said, there are real differences between brands. The aftermarkets on my XDs are far brighter than the factory supplied one on the Hellcat. When discussing dive watches, most do not have tritium but rather are phosphorus powered...

    Where Did the Joke Thread Go?

    I'm guessing it is pointless to start a new joke thread?
