    Vietnam’s Forgotten Gunship: The ACH-47A Chinook

    Lordy never heard of this program and what a beast, especially if you became the target of its affection... Can't imagine the rattle and shake as it did that by itself, much less with minis and Ma Deuces chattering.

    Losing a Gunfight: Are You Behind the Power Curve?

    So true as to shoot and scoot as it relates to repetition. Hard for me to find a range to do so and getting ready to just build one myself. Strange after having done it for years, being away from it gives the feeling of being more vulnerable and plain unprepared. I have an excellent range to...

    Ayoob: Is .45 Still Better Than 9mm?

    Ah, 135 on a scooter and then I started thinking about armadillos... Yep that be fast, as anything I am in or on that can do over 2 bills has wings on it.

    Ayoob: Is .45 Still Better Than 9mm?

    What, "how dare you..." Okay, I will have to settle for the 1064/5.5 = 193 hp per liter or 3.1 ponies per cubic inch... Never mind the newton or kilowatt ratings.

    Ayoob: Is .45 Still Better Than 9mm?

    Then there is the new Corvette with ZR-1 and ZR-1X with 1064hp and 1250hp respectfully, with a 5.5-liter DOHC twin turbo flat plane crank which will deliver 670hp, normally aspirated. The ZR-1X runs in the 9's with all the comfort of a plush street car. But does get the extra ponies from one...

    Ayoob: Is .45 Still Better Than 9mm?

    Like I said in 1986 when I first tried the 38 shor... I mean 9mm. I bought a S&W 659 and started shooting steel and from the tone realized, why you needed higher capacity. More than the wheel gun it was replacing after they took my .357 ammo away. Forty plus round load-out on the belt... That...

    Ayoob: Is .45 Still Better Than 9mm?

    I remember picking up a 320 up and stating damn the trigger is nice, now I know why... Only Sig I owned was a 220 in .45 back in the day and do regret selling it back in 96... Had a 007 serial number and really regret, as I just didn't warm up to it... No Sigs in the Box.

    Ayoob: Is .45 Still Better Than 9mm?

    I resemble that remark, then ending with 12+1 in .45 acp, with 24 more on the belt with a M-4 with 30 and 30 more in a dual mag set-up. Sad as I remember speed-loaders were a thing and secure holsters made their debut... Oh and let's forget the blackjack and alone with nearest back-up 30...

    SAINT Victor vs. Steel-Cased Ammo: What Broke?

    Won't be running any steel in mine as I only run steel in the Russian rifles. I do have steel I am trying to shoot up in .308 and 7.62x39 from both S&B and Norinco. Shows how little I shoot it. Just something about it makes me want to only shoot in chrome chambered Russian designs. I did run a...

    Review: ROJO RJ4 Tactical Target

    I bought one a few months ago to go up against the Bride and her Gamo and found it to be a hoot, once you get the cocking down for an old gray. In the seated position rest the stock on your leg. That said, I found it almost as accurate as the Bride, but she is using a scope (gotta have a...

    Ayoob: Is .45 Still Better Than 9mm?

    Although I have both calibers, back in the day when they took my .357 Magnum rounds away for .38 Special (appears woke was around in the 80's), decided six .38 rounds ain't enough. What, no one remember why .357 mag was created in the first place? Bought a S&W 659 with it's 15 rounds and found...

    Hearing Protection Act: Are Silencers Legal Now?

    Hmm, the only issue with still using the form 4473 is that ATF has already been caught and it is verified through a digitizing of the forms they have collected, photographed, etc to the tune of almost a billion-gun transitions over the past decades. This was deemed illegal in 1984 by.... wait...

    Review: Meprolight Tru-Vision SR

    Hmm, I have the Meprolight 21 mounted on an IWI Tavor, cause that what was supposed to be on the Tavor, even though it is 300 BLK. That said, there is no batteries, it uses tritium for night ops. It appears that this one will address the issue of shade to bright that requires a polarized filter...

    Should You Not Run a Red Dot on Your EDC?

    Me too as I always considered (other than sniping) use the iron sights like a real shooter... Then father-time caught up and this old dog had to learn new tricks with some optics costing as much as the host. Then I had to retrain my butt, but since I can't see the front-sight(s) anyway, the...

    Lockheed F-94 Starfire — Cold War Soviet Bomber Interceptor

    My gosh, been flying for well longer than I want to admit, but that one got by me and would make a great airshow plane (static) based on the last model is interesting. Looks like the business end of a bazooka or flying rocket pod and haven't seen one. But I did go to the Air Force Museum and...

    Should You Not Run a Red Dot on Your EDC?

    We called it the "rock" and always had to stick the weak hand in the front beltloop during training and I wondered if having to use, the bad guy was going to wonder why I was sticking my left hand in my pants before he was dusted with the right...
