    US Forces sink first aircraft carrier since WW2

    I was taken aback reading this , because l didn't think lran Had an Aircraft Carrier . They Don't / Didn't. A "Drone Carrier" is 1/ 10 the size of a real Aircraft Carrier .

    Nation's Oldest Gun Club Turns 150

    In my corner of the world , pretty much all the landed Gun Clubs were founded in the 1939 - 1947 window . Just guessing, but with high degree of certainty; Before that , few people felt need for formal club instead of shooting in the back 40 . But After the post WWII Boom it wasn't as...

    email from Glock

    Back at Post #29 – In '13 got the G29 , with the concept that l could run extended Bbl , and magazine sleeve with the G29 , but l couldn't shrink a G20 . The only net loss was a bit of sight radius. Fast foreward a decade plus , and very ugly Gen 4 G22 , and a Gen 3 G27 that speaks...

    How is your 1911 set up?

    " Stock " 1911 is meaningless term anymore. A " GI Configuration " is a niche thing , primarily for Retro or historical interests. " Stock " meaning as that particular model came from factory, is still highly variable . I Can comment on what l Prefer. Flat , Long , " anti hand...

    The Lost Art? How to Read a Map

    Oh yeah , certainly are , and * usually * works for me . But a couple of times it had been enough decades passed since USGS Field Survey , or the Legacy original state level mapping at the dawn of Automobile Era , that the legacy road / trail had been totally reclaimed by nature , and other...

    NIB 1974 2nd Gen Colt SAA .45.

    That's certainly a Choice . In general, l lean to at least once or twice shooting sessions with most things . But this one , would be one of the exceptions. One of my 20/ 20 hindsight kick myself things was " hell no , l ain't gonna spend no $700 on no Shooter Grade later 1st Gen SAA " ...

    1911 DS Holster expedition

    Did a Google search ( for images ) , and it would seem the DeSantis Invader is a fairly conventional hybrid IWB , with two attachment points , and rides with a "medium " amount of foreward tilt ? If that's close , then dozens of the Usual Suspects have something very similar for either IWB...

    NIB 1974 2nd Gen Colt SAA .45.

    It's a NIB , with Box, from the very end of 2nd Gen production. Quick search shows 2nd Gen NIB range of $3k to $4.5k . So , price seems good . The question is it worth that To You for a piece to remain unfired . ( Not saying it's not ) If shooting is on your agenda , look at the higher...

    Banish 9k suppressor

    Using the link in Post #5 , the Mfg purports 132 Db in 9mm handgun . ( Presumably full size gun , and 147 subsinic ) . Different bbl length and different ammo will effect results .

    Newbie to suppressors with basic questions

    To Expand on Magnum50 : In addition to Bore Size ( Bullet Diameter ) , Residual Muzzle Peessure is a factor. Most Common examples : Using 9mm Pistol Supressor, on a .300 Blackout ( Whisper) . Bullet diameter fits , but the Pressures can lead to ( bad things ) , if it's not designed ( rated...

    The Lost Art? How to Read a Map

    That's true , for most paved roads . I actually like a handheld GPS for what it can actually do right . Out deep in the woods hiking or driving Jeep Trails , and you're truly stumped on " Where the Heck am l ? " . Whip out GPS , and find your actual Lat & Long , and then use your Topo...

    The Lost Art? How to Read a Map

    You think that's a joke . But my experience usually was : I have a good sense of direction and geography . If l'm pretty close to where l'm looking for , I'll know it . ( Unless it's something trick like " the street addresses are whack , and even though it says 123 Elm St , you have to...

    Ayoob: Was the 10mm Destined to Fail?

    Not necessarily Destined to Fail , as " Destined to Become a Niche Cartridge, Primarily for Hunters , Outdoorsmen , and Serious Ballistic Geeks ( said in a good way ) " . Pretty much what ECS686 said above about the physical size of the gun being at least as much factor as the Recoil ...

    Ayoob: Was the 10mm Destined to Fail?

    My take was that Full Power 10mm was basically similar to the 80% -ish loaded Silvertip in .41 Mag . Which was a * Very Useful Level * , as representing the upper end of " How much power can you have , and still be Plausible for Duty & Defense by reasonably skilled users , and not...
