    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...

    Ammo to Ukraine

    7:31 am ET February 28, 2022 (Benzinga) Print AMMO Inc (NASDAQ: POWW) announced that it heard Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky’s plea for ammunition and would like to help. Ammo is offering to donate 1 million rounds of ammunition to the Armed Forced of Ukraine to support their fight for...

    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...

    Holsters and why you choose that 1!

    In some cases like the Bond Arms Bullpup/Boberg many of the manufacturers don't even make a holster of any kind for it so one ends up trying to choose from what is available. With other guns, like my XDs or my Hellcat I try to find one that actually fits my criteria which isn't as easy as it...

    Is Ammo Really More Expensive?

    9mm in corrosive was often sold by the buckets for very cheap prices as there was a lot of German WWII surplus. There was also a fair amount of war ammo in 9mm being dumped by other countries as well. The ammo in my stash was non corrosive which made it somewhat more expensive.

    Is Ammo Really More Expensive?

    Digging into my ammo stash, I "rediscovered" some 9mm ammo bought in 1961. Price tags on the 100 round boxes were $6.00. However, that $6.00 in 1961 would now be $55.78 today. Given the ammo is basically range ammo, I know I can buy 100 rounds for less than .55 cents per round. Interesting.

    Firearm "influencers"

    When Shooting Times (then owned by the Peoria Journal Star) held their "writer get togethers" in Peoria they used the same gun range that I also used. Thanks to a friendship with George Nonte I was able to meet and socialize with all of them when they came to town. They each had their claims to...

    Damn good news!

    Based on the hourly rates our company was paying a couple of years ago, that would mean you would have to work an extra 50 hours to justify the increase. :D
