    It was a good time to be Eric. Wait, who am I kidding? It has ALWAYS been a good time to be Eric!

    Classic car enthusiasts step right in

    73 with the L-82 small block and a four speed. Interestingly, the high revving L-82 was actually more expensive than the big block. Last year for the chrome bumpers out back and the new sleek nose. The car I wanted in High School but could not afford! I also had a 62 when I was younger and I...

    Classic car enthusiasts step right in

    Since the Cobra does not have windows or a roof or a heater or a radio I got the Corvette for a touring car and overnight trips. Leather seats AND a radio? We are talking luxury cars here!

    Show off your 1911

    Speaking of Combat Commanders, here is my example that has been worked over by Bob Chow. He was a Olympic Shooter and a Bullseye gunsmith, but did a few carry guns back in the day. I carry it sometimes when I am feeling nostalgic, which I admit happens more and more the older I get.

    Reality Check: Red Dot Sights

    I am a fan of Green or Red Dots, but after working with lasers I sold them all off. I found myself chasing the laser instead of watching my sights. Your mileage may vary.

    How Cold Weather Makes CCW Harder (Not Easier)

    Sorry about the double tap just there. Don't know why that happened.

    How Cold Weather Makes CCW Harder (Not Easier)

    Sure, I have a mil-surp woodland camo heavy coat in the car in case of car trouble. And gloves and boots. But here in Missouri, going from my car to someone's house or a shop, I generally just wear a flannel shirt and a vest when it is really cold. That way I don't have to worry about a coat...

    Joined the NRA

    Just join and never give them another dime. We need the numbers, don't you get it? Donate to whom you believe in more, but just join so we have the voting block we can show Capital Hill. In 2018 we had like 5.5 Million Voters. Now we are down to like 3.9 Million. They think we, and by gun owners...

    Bulk Ammunition Storage

    When I moved about 10-12 years ago, I found some WWII 8mm Mauser ammo on stripper clips in a canvas bandolier in my basement. And an old 8 mm Mauser. I shot 25 rounds and they all went bang...some of it looked pretty knarly. I would have to say it was not stored under ideal conditions. Or even...

    "Marine Sniper Legend Carlos Hathcock: His Own Words” (1993)

    Multiple Sclerosis had put him in a wheelchair by the time I met him, but he was still every inch a gentleman and Marine. Growing up, I never had actors or sports figures as heroes or people I looked up to. But Carlos and men like him are not only Heroes, but they deserve to be taught about in...

    SIG SAUER Launches the SIG516 G3

    I am old, but not that old! So I don't know how big a pickle ball case is. And that just sounds dirty when I type it.

    Well...That Didn't Take Long. New Glock Model Already Outfitted with Full-Auto Switch

    It can't be lawful unless he is a manufacturer with the right FFL license and it is only for police use. The number of transferable machine guns between civilians was capped in 1986. So I am guessing this is the same automatic felony that the other switches are. No thanks!

    Reality Check: Red Dot Sights

    Suppressor height sights are the key. You have spent your whole life acquiring iron sights, and with the dot at the top of the front sight the handoff is natural. Guys that hate dots and say they have to hunt the dot are missing this crucial step. I went to a dot in the 90's when I started to...

    SIG SAUER Launches the SIG516 G3

    Yes, with the stock folded and a twenty round mag, it can fit into a tennis racquet case. So there is that....

    SIG SAUER Launches the SIG516 G3

    I am a big fan of the SIG 556R in 7.62 X 39 that takes AK mags. The first ones had indigestion with steel case ammo, but they fixed that and made what I consider the thinking mans AK. It is accurate and reliable. I am mostly a handgun guy, but figured everyone needs a 7.62 x 39 rifle. Wish I...

    I dig that brass bead with serrations! Great front sight!

    Joined the NRA

    I have often been at odds with the NRA over the years, but they are the one organization over the years that have kept the lawmakers in line with the Founding Fathers. We came within a whisker of losing handguns in the Gun Control Act of 1968. I am an Endowment Member, but every gun owner needs...

    Stainless Garrison Locked Up

    I am a grease guy. It stays put and does not transfer to clothing as easily. I had used Wilson Combat grease for ages because I liked the syringe applicator. Lots of other greases use that as well now. Mil-Com got rave reviews from veteran friends that fought in the sandbox, and I have been...
