That another thing! How can the Jewish vote continue to pull the lever for Democrats?

Well, if he does win and runs New York into a ditch with his plans, perhaps voters will learn from this. Probably not, but I can dream. Wall Street is already all set to move to Texas. Smart money has already moved out of the State. This will be a real disaster, and the voters are going to...

It is because kids today are not educated in actual History as it happened. They are taught that Communism can work, despite its epic failures everywhere it has been tried. Sad. Public schools are a tragedy.

Agreed, Papa. I can do things with a 1911 that I cannot duplicate with another handgun

You know, it will never again be the time/budget to make a magnificent fighting lady like this one. We need to keep her and her kin afloat. OK, so what? Drones are the future? Ok, make it drone proof. And understand in the future you still need a ship that can steam over to trouble and offer...

We laugh, but techoloigy is right. We are inferior and it WILL take us out as such. We are much less clever than we think we are.

This saddens me. The 60's moms are all so important to me...

As for my Taurus info being out of date, it is true that I have been retired from the industry for 9 years now. I can still name gun writers that won't review a Taurus because of their inability to hold tolerance. But I agree, that info is now 9 years old. However, while a friend was running a...

I suspect if curmudgeons were left out of the list, there would be no forum anymore!

Another fan of Winchester white box, but the hot tip right now is Federal has 45 ACP 230 grain FLATnose ammo on the menu. Way better stopper than traditional hardball, but shoots the same point of impact. Hey, if I am buying 230 grain practice ammo anyway but I can get some that is actually...

Wait I was right the first time! Too much bass! (see what I did there, Hi-Fi guys?)

PS-Apologies to Basscliff. I referred to him as Bassbob. Bass Cliff is in fact the barometer of deciding who is a Cretin and whom is a Gentleman on this forum.

Now that I am older, 60 in the rearview mirror, the 45 has retaken its place on my hip. Lot of reasons for that. Familiar of course, because a 1911 was on my hip until the late 90's when I went Glock with a Trijicon. Couple few years ago the SIG 365 XL took its place due to size, trigger, 1911...

For those of you that forgot, my Glock 19/26 was a Glock 19 fitted with a Suarez Combat Systems Slide back before factory milling for optics were available that I later cut down to Glock 26 butt dimensions. Yes, I used a band saw and cleaned it up with a file.

I apologize for the fuzzy photo, my steam powered cell phone camera gets tripped out by the green holographic image.

I have to admit, the Sig won me over from my Trijicon Glock 19/26 because of its size, trigger and sweep down to fire manual safety just like my beloved 1911. I was happy with my red dots until on of my pot stirring range buddies showed up with a green dot. Jerk. You know how much that cost me...

During the twenty years between my First and my Final Marriage I was without adult supervision. In retrospect, it was determined that I was in fact channeling the Spirit of Dean Martin during that entire time, hence the acquisition of a smoking jacket. It is mostly a blur.

Thompsons had ten inch barrels as I recall and they didn't seem to suffer any damage to their reputation as a stopper. Perhaps that is still in the sweet spot...five to ten inch barrels allow for complete gunpowder burning without being long enough to result in frictional losses?

A smoking jacket is traditionally a velvet or other dense material overcoat that one wears around the house when the gentlemen gather in the Library to smoke cigars, drink brandy and discuss world affairs/business. The idea is that the smoking jacket protects your evening clothes from the smoke...

You might have to be a handloader to find out. Today's 45 ACP rounds are running powders that are designed for shorter handgun barrels. Sometimes longer barrels actually have lower velocity due to the powder being completely burned but the bullet is still in the barrel and velocity suffers due...
