When the .40 first came out I fell for all the hype. .45 power with 9mm capacity! I bought a S&W 4006 when they first came out. I spent two years trying to get that thing to shoot worth a damn and failed miserably. I tried every factory load and reloaded everything I could find. Never could get...
The .308 is my most common rifle round in both semi-autos and bolt actions.
I do shoot a few other calibers, but they mostly just go with the rifle That I have designed for them. .30-06 in the Garands, .30-30 & .45-70 in lever guns. 5.56 in ARs.
I don't really have anything against all the...
So now the Terminators will be riding in on giant wasps?
In Memphis, We had this guy. Great show. I watched it every Saturday night. 😁
BTW: The character Sivad was simply the actor's last name Davis spelled backwards. ;)
Back in the mid-90s, Our Boy Scout troop made the trip to Mobile and spent the night on board the Alabama. When everybody else leaves for the night, you have time to poke around and see stuff that ain't on the regular tour. ;)
It was a great experience. But, I don't think they do overnights...
I'm a long time fan of the 38 Super. I currently own six of them and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. 😁
Think of it as a 9mm on steroids. Although most current offering from major ammo companies aren't a whole lot more powerful. Lawyers, what can I say? 🤬 To get the true level of the .38...
One of my pet peeves. You hear it all the time from the left. This thing, that thing, this person, that person is a threat to our Democracy! As noted above, we are NOT a democracy! The United States is a Republic!
Get it straight morons!. 🤬
I've had a long time love affair with the 1911. Its my favorite pistol and I have a bunch of 'em. 😁
A lightweight Commander in .45 was my primary carry for most of my adult life. Still have it and still carry it from time to time.
When I was shooting IDPA regularly, I used a Springfield...
I have two of the Girsan MC P35 Hi-Powers and they're very good pistols. One of them is a PI Model which I do carry from time to time. I just love the Commander sized Hi-Power. (y)
Of course if Springfield were to come out with a Detective sized SA-35, I'd buy one in a heartbeat and dump the...
I'll go along with checking the bore and shooting it first just to see if its worth the effort to re-finish it.
Its gonna need a good bit of polishing before you even consider a re-finish. That will add to the cost unless you do it yourself. But polishing is where a lot of damage is done...
My Standard Product carbine had to have the barrel replaced. Still a G.I. part, but a 1970s replacement. Since collectability was pretty much gone. I decided to bring the old war horse into the 21st Century. 😁
Now before y'all get your panties all in a twist, I do have all the original...
I don't know if you'd call it famous, but I have a S&W 2nd Model 44 HE that lettered as going to the Police Dept of Joplin, MO in January of 1924. I'll bet its had an interesting life.
