Back when I retired the first time at age 28 I sold just about everything I owned, and bought rental property. With the money coming in from that I would not have to work so I got a Camper to see America. The property was in a college town, but it was near Whiteman Air Force Base. I always tried...

Red Goat, I agree true GI mags are good to go and I have had good luck with Checkmate. The main reason I like the Wilson #47 is they can be disassembled easily for cleaning and applying a coat of automotive paste wax on the inside.

Another thing is weight. 100 rounds of 22 LR does not weigh much compared to centerfire ammo. When I am just walking around the woods, lunch, a canteen and 100 rounds of 22 LR equates to a very relaxing afternoon. Plinking and enjoying the scenery. Good for ones blood pressure!

The chink in my cultural armor. I have never owned an Aston Martin. MG, Triumph, Austin Healey (big and little) Jaguar and Lotus have all leaked in my garage at one time or another but never an Aston Martin. I am afraid I would have to come out of retirement to afford one, so that is out of the...

Remember the old song "Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile". Kit is the English/old timers name for gear. And every time I go to the range I finish up with a box of 22 rimfire, just to work on the basics. As often as not, it is with a Kit Gun, just right for woods...

I got one of the Nextbelt versions a couple of years ago. It has held up well, and I can cinch as tight as needed when I am carrying, say, a revolver instead of a 1911 but both in an inside the waistband holster. I am a fan. I also saw the MidwayUSA has them under the Bianchi name. A good...

PS-Well done carrying a serious firearm! Most will never notice, and you have a nice tight holster and strong belt. But I still think you will be "made" if someone is closely watching.

Yep, I'm sure. When you are moving and the wind is blowing a guy that is looking for a gun will see a gun. My friends and I spot "concealed" carry guys all the time here in Columbia, a college town where cargo pants and baggy shirts are normal. First guy to spot a person that is heeled does not...

I am 5 foot five and carry a 1911 Government Model or a Browning Hi Power. Not hard with an inside the waistband holster. Anything else is going to telegraph you are armed, except perhaps if you wear a shoulder rig and a coat. If you can't get used to inside the waistband carry, you are limiting...

A proper gentleman's sidearm. I salute you, sir.

I don't have a documented case, but I don't want to be the guy the mention as the answer to that question in the future! Common sense is enough for me. I don't care if it has never happened. :)

I was surprised to find you have to subscribe to the manufactures service to access some features of the car you bought. Stuff like remote start, which I would never use anyway...too many years of old cars, if I can't see the oil pressure gauge jump when I am starting I am going to figure out...

Red Goat you are not wrong. I remember when our Ballistician came into my office and set some cases on my desk and asked me if I thought he could increase the load. Primers looked good...I said yes. He laughed and said they were proof load pressure but he got a batch of hard primers. (which I...

Gents, the interweb is awash with people claiming the "Lawyers are writing the manuals now" as they cling to their 1960 Edition. Here is the real scoop: Advancements in pressure testing means every manufacturer can afford to do it now. The reason the old manuals were higher is there was a LOT...

Open carry to me is the tactical equivalent to wearing a T-Shirt with a Bullseye Front and Back that says "Shoot Me First" because that is what is going to happen when two crackheads are hopped up and decide to rob the restaurant you are in. They panic, and before you even know they are bad guys...

Powerboater that is why I use the silicone gun sock since it is padded enough to prevent "safe rash" from moving them around in tight quarters. They also don't lock in moisture like a case. The other big advantage is they don't take up as much room in the safe as the hard or soft cases. Good...

Belt Fed, you speak the truth. Luckily I didn't have this car back then. Heck even my lib-**** brother could pick up women driving this thing. KillerFord, they are just a click away. https://www.backdraftracing.com Basically all you do is have to decide what engine/transmission you want. And...

This is a factory built car from South Africa. From Backdraft Racing. I looked at kits but that is a young man's hobby. Driving fun from day one is the way to go for me. Too many nights in the garage in my history already.

Already 51 degrees and sunny. We get a reprieve from Winter like this quite often in Missouri so I am taking advantage of it! Another Cobra day!

An Umbrella Policy was mentioned a couple of times and it is a good idea in todays sue happy society. It does not provide coverage on personal property, but it does add additional liability coverage. So say if you are in an auto accident and the settlement against you exceeds the auto insurance...
