FWIW, don't care about the beach . For geographical druthers being within reasonable distance of mountains a plus . With a pension and savings , wage rates not an issue . Five years ago , giving thought to E. Tenn , but since then real estate has gotten as expensive as ( current location) .

The oldest l have carried is S&W Breaktop .38S&W , that was 117 y.o. at the time . Tight , accurate , point of aim . Ran 5 for 5 on 6 inch plate rack @ 17 yards .

If you mean an actual Old one , and not just the 1911 design . My #2 shooting & hunting partner for a while carried a 1911 ( not A1 ) . The only issue with that is not the vintage ones in decent origonal condition are valuable , and holster wear from daily wear is a $$ issue .

I don't have a link handy , but do a search for Taffin Tests .41 Special. ****************** Massively oversimplified take on .41 Spl . The original concept was .410 caliber, running at .38 Spl velocities . Try your prefered powders you use for 158gr .38 Spl , and fine tune for...

Didn't want to hijack Cedric's thread . Recently North / Northeast Alabama has popped on my horizon for retirement. Criteria include less taxes , more freedom, lower cost of living , four seasons, but less snow shoveling than ( current location ) . Good area , or am l overlooking...

I get it , that " hundreds" is a figure of speech. But sure , there are a Large Plethora of handguns that would be * at least reasonably suitable for Duty Use * . But for Departments , that's just part of it . A big part is the service & support from the Mfg / authorized LE Distributors...

Buick is the car brand with highest rate of DUI Arrests . Ban Buicks .

That's the one that l absolutely Hate ! Once upon a time , we bought a used XJ that had almost new Michelins . I blanched at the idea of throwing away almost new $$ tires , but the absolute total lack of traction made it a necessity. We were both out to the Biggfoot Outpost #1 in the...

My next tires . Because of the Name !

25 yards is the traditional standard for * Gun & Ammunition Testing * ( Long historical background, but accept as given for now . ) Testing for pure accuracy of the gun / ammo is done from some flavor of a Rest , from a bench , or sometimes two hand braced . The concept is to eliminate/...

Ok , to give yourself some realistic -ish yardstick, try using the T&Q ( Training & Qualification) scoring system on that B-27 ( l looked it up , what Texas used ) . 10 ring , 9 ring , and 8 ring count as " 5 points " , 7 ring as 4 points , outside 7 ring count as 3 points . (...

Since this post got reminded to me by a recent "Like" , I'll update . Don't have a pic on this device , so visualize this same holster , but with the lower left gun in this Pic below ( G27 Gen 3 , speaks Australian.

Brooks Brothers was slightly tongue in cheek. But there was pushback about the concealability for casual clothes or off duty carry . The FBI issue 10mm ammo of 180gr @ 950-ish fps was essentially the same as typical 180gr .40S&W duty loads , but the subsequent G22 was somewhat smaller , and...

Actually , IF the comparison was .357 Silvertip 145 from 3 inch K Frame vs M1076 w/ FBI spec 10mm , recoil would have. Been non issue . But alas , the standard issue load was .38 +P , and actual .357 was case by case supervisor approval , for specific operations. At Least as much as recoil ...

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 .

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...

And for that matter U.S. Senate .

That went away at the state & local level with Reynolds v Sims ( 1964) .

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...

Cool ! I am the opposite .
