    .380 vs .32 - Make mine .32!

    Sure, I type up headlines to get clicks. I am told that is an interweb thing. Anyway, specifically the .380 Ruger LCP with a six round magazine and one up the pipe for seven all in. Not afraid to say, a 7 round magazine in a .45 acp 1911 is my go to. Seven plus one is plenty for a .45, but what...

    Senators Introduce Federal Gun Control Bill Targeting Assault Weapons, Red Flags

    Mid terms are going to be critical. If the dems get the house and senate, you know the rest of Mr T's term will be nothing but endless impeachments. Get out and vote, gents. Bring your friends. We fall asleep at the mid terms and we will lose the Country as we know it.

    Just WOW! NIB 1949 Winchester Model 70.

    Old timey powders were a significant factor. I would not hesitate to own a Swift today!

    Traded in my car yesterday.

    True. Harley guys that used it had leaks on top of their leaks. But when I switched back, problem solved. The "problem" was not the Mobil One, it was the Harley acceptable clearance!

    How long should it take?

    I have no idea. I buy all of my lowers from my local gunshop. Do I spend too much? Heck yes, about 20-30 bucks! You know why? Because I go into my local gunshop once a week. I try on guns I will never buy, and talk with friends that are also there. You think that is free? Come on, you cheap...

    Because you are smart and recognize oil has changed since the 60's! Go NMedge!

    Was the 1911’s Grip Safety a Mistake?

    I like it. Grew up with it. You will never win an argument against a fella that has used it for 40 plus years. If you don't like it, get a Browning Hi Power and live with 9mm.

    And you can NEVER, EVER change your oil and filter too often. Do it today, just for fun!

    Traded in my car yesterday.

    My folks are in their mid 80's. I sold him on a new car with all the anti crash features "for Mom". But really, I was wanting both of them to benefit from modern tech!

    Traded in my car yesterday.

    Congrats. You will find the Slowburu (sorry, I am a jerk. Thought you knew) to actually be a pretty good car. My old man bought one, and if you can get that guy to open his wallet you KNOW it is a safe bet. I love the old cars, but have to admit...new cars are faster, corner better, are more...

    Ruger SR1911 LW Commander in 38 Super

    With reliability being of number one importance in a defensive firearm, the .38 Super is the thinking man's 9 mm 1911. It can do WAY more than the 9 when loaded to its potential, and the longer case is more suitable for the 1911 platform in terms of reliability. 9 mm is cheap...that is about all...

    New Target Garrison 1911

    Dropped the front serrations on the Loaded, which I never liked. Tradition is the name of the game with a 1911. This is a great starter 1911, or for a person that has outgrown lessor models.

    New Target Garrison 1911

    I was hoping for a checkered front strap. Awwww. But I would buy a Springfield every time over a Turkish import. Now, easy, before you all start, the Springer is a known factor. YEARS and high round counts under its belt. The Turks seem nice at first blush, but I don't know how they will hold up...

    Smith & Wesson model 19 no lock!

    But if we had kept all the cool cars, guns and motorcycles we sold when we were young and foolish, we would not have been able to spend the proceeds on MORE cool cars, guns and motorcycles. So by selling stuff, I was actually buying regrets. Regrets for the stuff I sold the first time, then...

    Smith & Wesson model 19 no lock!

    I have deep and lasting regret for every single S&W revolver I ever sold. I feel your pain. The Model 27 was always a bit big for me to carry since it was an N frame, but man, you get that big cylinder rolling when it was shooting .38 Special loads and the inertia made it sound like burp gun fire!

    Kuna Competition? Meet the Taurus RPC 9mm PDW

    My mother taught me not to say anything if I don't have something nice to say. Taurus? Well, when I worked in a gun shop I helped more customers use their lifetime warranty on new guns more any any other manufacturer. With the Kuna available, I fail to understand why someone would choose this.

    Smith & Wesson model 19 no lock!

    To tell the truth, I don't know. I am going to say the late 60's, maybe early 70's; the diamond grips were a pre-68 thing I believe. It came with the oversize "target grips" which look nice but are terrible for shooting...they get wider as your fingers get shorter! I got these out of my parts...

    50% more in property taxes?

    It sure does seem like after a lifetime of paying taxes, seniors, when they FINALLY pay the house off it should be theirs. Charging taxes on the land they bought with the mortgage? Basically, that is paying lot rent forever like you own the mobile home but not the ground. When the mortgage is...

    Smith & Wesson model 19 no lock!

    I have to admit, my heart belongs to blue steel and walnut. I just wish this had a round butt. So much easier to hide. But I do like the square butt on the range. So I will keep them both, the 66 to carry and the 19 to shoot to see who buys lunch. With .38 158 grain regular loads it is a real...

    Smith & Wesson model 19 no lock!

    The Smith and Wesson K frame is one of the all time greats. As long as you use it as intended. Back when the .38 Special round of choice for Police Departments all over America, line cops were complaining about the effectiveness of the typical 158 grain lead round nose bullets. The 200 grain...
