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....

For years, well, decades actually I always worked the Holiday Shift because my folks live in the same town and by me working it meant other supervisors and managers could see their families. So since I retired we host Thanksgiving at our house. Takes the pressure off my mom and I finally have...

Just got home. Met my old friend and gunsmith Reid Coffield for lunch. He is moving back to town, that is great news! Projects to follow!

You HAVE to start with a frame that has never been a rifle. If you have an assembled rifle, it is always a rifle in the eyes of the ATF. You turn it into a handgun and that is illegal. A friend of mine takes pictures of every AR-15 he builds as a pistol FIRST. It is not illegal to turn a pistol...

Trump could solve gun crime by leaning into legislation that makes using a gun in a crime a federal crime that can't be plea bargained out. Mandatory five years working as farm help on gigantic farms on public lands. The crops grown go to feed the prisoners and excess to SNAP benefit holders. No...

I love the 7.62 x 39 cartridge but generally unimpressed with the firearms that fired it, namely haphazardly assembled AK's. The SKS carbines were surprisingly accurate, and my father had one that rode with him in his Jeep CJ on the farm that accounted for a boxcar load of deer over the years. I...

They always say that two equals one. Between the two guns, even if everything goes to the Handbasket, you will be able to keep one of them up and running! Think of it as End Of The World As We Know It insurance! And you would be crazy not to have insurance, right? (yeah, I justify basically...

Well done! A positive outlook and prayers work...you are living proof!

I can't compete with Killer Ford, but I do cook. Thick cut bone in pork chop
