Looking forward to your review of the pellet grill rcurtner! Right now I am watching Perry Mason which I do every morning with a cat at my side. I plan my day at commercial breaks. Going to go see my folks today.

The thing about a two gun shoulder rig is driving. Very comfortable and seat belts are no problem. Plus with two guns it is a force multiplier. I have friends who have CCW permits and still don't carry all the time. Drives me crazy. But I can pass a revolver over to them if trouble starts. By...

Full disclosure, I own a cat and truly enjoy his company. He considers me his Butler.

For what it is worth, the author is a stand up guy. Even said a prayer when we sat down for lunch, and that is something you don't hear too often anymore. A family man that won't write or tell a lie no matter how much free ammo they give him. He hunts hard too, not just with a keyboard.

I don't try and haggle down my local gunshop. Paying full sticker is what I call the "Gunshop Tax". I don't buy guns that often. But I go into the shop once a week, get caught up with the new guns and gossip, maybe buy some powder or some ammo. If you don't buy, they won't stay open. So margins...

Eversearching it is a Backdraft Cobra, factory built in South Africa not one of the original 1100 or so Cobras built by Shelby. As such, I can drive it and park it without worrying! At 5 foot five inches I can carry a full size 1911 no problem with an inside the waistband holster. It will be...

Almost forgot about this Commander...vintage Combat Commander worked over by Bob Chow. He was an Olympic shooter and generally worked his magic on Bullseye 1911's, but he did a few serious carry pieces as well.

I am also fond of my Sig "Commander" but I wish it had the fine cut cocking serrations (those wide ones look like a cheap imported copy of a 1911 to me). And all one color, or a proper two tone hard chrome lower and blued upper. But I do like the Bobtail and the chambering. This is a .357 Sig...

My lightweight Smith and Wesson version has an Ed Brown barrel and bushing fitted by Bill Laughridge. While he was in there he replaced the MIM parts and slicked up the trigger and put on a proper arched mainspring housing. I wish it had a checkered front strap and no cocking serrations, but...

And I even like the color! Where do I place my order?

I carried a full size 1911 for a long time. Later got a lightweight Commander size pistol from S&W and it was a revelation. Light and fast from the holster, but big enough to hold on to and shoot well. Now a Sig 365 XL gets the nod a lot when I am wanting higher capacity. (i.e.: trips to St...

Night Rider, I am jealous! I moved to town when I got married, and I sure miss shooting steel off my back deck. Someday, we will be back out of the city...I loved the solitude. And the stars at night with no other lights around...perfect.

TurboDog had commented on the flat top on the previous page and I was responding.

I told her if there was any justice in the World, I would be standing in front of a flat top for a living. As it turns out, the World is not fair and I actually amounted to something. Young kids should take notice...expecting the World to be "fair" is not going to pay any of your bills.

Well, there is that. I could see a 22-250 with a scope out West for coyotes and the like. Gangsters probably would leave that anyway. Friend of mine got his house broken into in broad daylight. Guns all in the vault except a Winchester 1300 riot gun by the bed. (no kids) Anyway, the thieves...

My wife got me a flat top for my birthday. So I am in charge of the bacon. Hey, every meal is better with bacon!

I have to admit, the whole idea of a "truck gun" escapes me. If trouble starts when you are in your vehicle, you are driving your weapon. Shooting from a moving vehicle while driving is a silly concept. We tried it on the farm with a Jeep CJ 5 with the windshield folded down and it is a...

Never had time for a family of my own, there is that work distortion thing again. Actually, yesterday was my 13th Wedding Anniversary so I got a late start even with a wife. Trying to make up for it now. Retired nine years ago. Have not missed working a bit. Now if I could just get my wife to...

I try. Missed out on a lot of nieces and nephews growing up. Now they have kids! And I am busy being the fun Uncle. You know, the guy that brings drum sets and BB guns and cool stuff like that for Christmas!

My father was half Norseman and half drunk....
