    147 grain 9mm questions

    Well, I think we can agree to use current data. Because Columbia PD here in my home town adopted the 147 Grain back in the 90's and to nobody's surprise that understood ballistics it was as big a failure here as anywhere. But back then was a long time ago...the 147 grain 9 mm has benefited from...

    When it comes down to it, what is your "go to" EDC?

    Ha Ha! You got me! Because Poodle Shooter and Antique Gear was cutting edge when I was in ROTC and I fell for it just now!

    Thinner? Not much.

    Trying this whole optic thing.

    Remember, before the Glock I was a five inch 1911 guy for decades. When I started with the 1911 it was a Colt Gold Cup because the sights were too small on the Government/Commander Models AND it was factory tuned to handle SWC target ammo, which meant it would feed the hollow points of the day...

    Trying this whole optic thing.

    Agreed on old eyeballs! The Sig 365 with the Holosun green circle/dot is smaller than the Glock 19/26 and I like it. A lot. But the low sights on the Sig means it is not a sidearm to learn the optic on. Too hard to find...get suppressor height sights to start with. After years with the Glock...

    Trying this whole optic thing.

    And yes, I hate the Glock. But the 1911 didn't lend itself to the Trijicon, and I thought it was worth the change.

    Trying this whole optic thing.

    Long time red dot guy, as many of you know. Like the late 1990's. The key, often overlooked, to learning the red dot is suppressor height sights. You have spent your whole life acquiring iron sights. Use that to your advantage. Draw your sidearm as always, sight picture as always and your brain...

    Smith & Wesson Model 5904: 1988 All-Metal ‘Wonder Nine’ Still Shines

    Like most of the other guys that carried 1911's back then, when the 4516 came out it caught my attention. I tried it for a while, in a Milt Sparks rig. It was comfortable, if thicker than the 1911. It was a solid performer, but since it didn't really save weight I went back to the 1911. If it...

    ED MCGIVERN: “WORLD’S FASTEST GUN”

    His book is a difficult read, but worth the trouble. By difficult read, I mean he is an author from the school of why use three words when you could use ten? But the shooting feats are remarkable, as well as his advances in timing of shooting/draw speed. I was always impressed by his use of...

    Problems with my SA Garrison 9mm

    I would clean off all the shipping lube and re-lube with Wilson Combat Lube. I have used it on 1911's for years and it works. I would not jump to polishing anything just yet. On the 9 mm 1911 platform I bought one each of every high quality mag MidwayUSA carried, as my 9 mm is a Colt from the...

    HOT Auction items to jump on!

    Tried one on...feet could not reach the pedals when I was sitting on a 50 cal ammo can to see out the windscreen. Have to pass.

    Steve McQueen lived in an airplane hanger for a while during/before a divorce. Can't get much cooler than Steve McQueen! That is a really cool set up. I have talked about seeing America in an RV but my wife is somewhat less enthusiastic. I believe her exact words were "I achieved a Masters...

    Brilliant. That is real American Dream stuff in my opinion. And with your Navy experience (thank you for your service) the RV must really seem like a suite!

    Tasmanian Tiger TAC Modular SW Pack 25 Review

    Appropriate on the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Concord where the Minute Men didn't have their roll out gear and rifles in the Armory like the British expected of their subjects. Here we have an article on a modern version of the Bug Out Bag that earned the Minute Men their nickname...out...

    rv gargage reload room dog palace cave etc etc

    I got married late in life, so I was without adult supervision for decades. One time when I was having a house built in the country one of my married friends that lived vicariously thru my exploits tried to convince me instead of a house, what I needed was a insulated garage with RV Hookups...

    250 years ago, today

    Well, Pride and thanks to schools omitting large chunks of history, kids today simply don't know. Can you imagine a teacher instructing a class today that the British were on the way to scoop up the guns that were largely stored in Armories at the time. The Minute Men kept their gear at home...

    250 years ago, today

    I live in a college town...it would be interesting to go downtown tonight and ask students to tell me what happened in America 250 years ago today with a twenty dollar bill as the prize. Bet I could go down there with $200, ask 25 students then take my wife out to CC City Broiler for a $200...

    I am jealous! Never enough garage space, but you are taking an admirable run at it.
