He just had a birthday Jan 1. Only what-137 years young! There was a Garand clone. SA did it a couple of times. Once in the 80s and again around 2000-ish. I think the 80s ones might’ve been OK. There were enough GI parts around then. I had one of the ones from ~25 years ago. It wasn’t...

I like all of those. When I carry a revolver as primary, it’s a 4” SB 65, or 3” RB 65. A fixed sight K-frame is a rock. I know my 15 or 19 are more versatile with their adjustable sights, but the fixed sight models are so much more snag-resistant. I would love a 10/13/64/65 with UC sights.

1) why did you chose your revolver-? I like them especially for secondary gun use, because those often get carried where there is dirt/lint/crud and a finger-powered gun can often work through that. They also work well in close or contact distance. 2) how to you EDC-? If the revolver is the...

Aww, poo. I signed up to comment at the article and then saw it was four years old.

I almost always carry more than one gun. Why? Guns break. Guns are machines and all machines break eventually. I don’t know when “eventually” might be. Saying your gun has never failed/I only buy quality guns/That’s not very likely/Etc, does nothing to keep it from happening. ————...

The bird shot house load always makes me cringe. I can tell they’ve never shot any wallboard with birdshot to see what happens. I’m always afraid this advice will lead to overconfidence in the “safety” of the load.

I can’t take Hannity. Laura Ingraham’s choices in men tells me all I need to know about her. (Former NJ dem Senator Robert Toricelli and off-his-rocker Keith Olbermann.) Jesse Watters I’ve only seen a few times. He seems OK, but I could see him getting old. Gutfeld is fine, as are his...

Well, the grip angle was better.

I liked it better. Grips and sights.

I shot it today, only 100 rounds: 60 rds of my 140 cast SWC handloads, 30 USA 115 FMJ, and 10 Winchester Ranger 127 +P+, using the Magpul mags and Glock mags. It shot like a Glock. Not much else to say.

Cobblestone streets.

Stuffing mags for tomorrow. I just took a rest break for my fingers and picked up the phone. Yes I have an UpLula.

S&W experimented with another frame I wish they had made. The C frame was roughly the size of Colt D frames (Detective Special, Cobra, etc). It was meant to give S&W a sixth round gun that was as small as possible; a match to the Colts. The cylinder stop was offset to one side so the stop...

Ruger RXM. I had no plans of even stopping in the gun shop when I left the house, and sure wasn’t looking for anything. But a “Glock” that fits my hand and at $399 new costs less than a Glock did 30 years ago… What the hell, give me one. I had surrendered to the fact my iron sight days are...

9mm: Winchester Ranger 127 +P .38 Spl: Speer 135 Gold Dot +P. Or in a S&W model 12, GA Arms wadcutter.

Adding one: Belladonna’s talk of building an AR reminded me I want to finish a lower receiver. Since I already have the receiver, I don’t know if it counts as a new gun for 2025 or not. I’ll be awaiting a ruling. Anyway, I want to make a Mk12/SPRish rifle. Somewhat hefty 18” barrel...

I’ve used it some. Silly name, handy site. If there is something you don’t see, they have a way to submit guns… which I need to do to add some out-of-production ones.

I like the FAL and would love to have a T48 replica. I’d have to have my own series of trials. The Daewoos are something I’ve never shot, but a friend has one and says it’s the most accurate 5.56 semiautomatic he’s fired. I don’t know if that was a trait of the Daewoos or if he got a...

I’m a big fan of the P7 and would be glad to see these. Simply existing to have a source of parts would be nice. I might un-retire mine.

I sure miss Mr Camp. I wouldn’t presume to call him a friend but we exchanged several emails way back. He and I agreed on almost everything, which made him OK in my book!
