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...

Might try silicone impregnated gun sleeves instead of cases. It allows the gun to "breathe" which helps prevent rust. Cases can seal in moisture. Thanks by the way. Now I have to figure out how to sneak a Henry past my wife! These are the sleeves I use...

In todays dollars: $2,212.60.

Read your policy is the best advice I can give. They have specific limits on personal property. Like $2,500 on guns is typical. That goes pretty fast in todays market. You can typically add an endorsement to increase the coverage up to $10,000. Again, in todays market that does not go too far...

The "Magnum Ferrari" or 308 does typically require engine out servicing of the timing belts every five years if you drive it or not. (can be done with the engine in, but not at the dealership. Makes it too difficult...anytime you have to pull the engine for servicing, you have a design flaw!)...

Cobramags are good to go. That is what came with my Les Baer and it was the first time I had worked with them. Very impressed with the fit and finish, and they have been 100% of course.

Standard operating procedure back in the day with a Browning Hi-Power. The 13th round would cause malfunctions enough that if the SAS operators were caught with 13 in the mag instead of 12 they were "fined". Not sure if that was paid in docked wages or PT! But I had not heard that being a...

Because the feed lips and springs are so under stressed. The last couple of rounds dramatically increase the tension on the feed lips as well as the compression of the spring. The spring is not compressed to the max and the upward pressure on the feed lips means they don't spread out with use...

Oh, and really there is no debate. Alloy framed Commander length 1911 is the one true answer. OK, you can start throwing rocks at me now.

No kidding! The loaded weight on that with a spare mag for everyday carry would require a belt and suspenders...and being 5'5" I am restricted to the "compact" model, not the long slide!

Twenty Two Rimfire? No. A fine killer, but a poor stopper. And the object is to STOP the threat. If one is that recoil sensitive, try the KelTec PMR 30 in 22 magnum. I won one at a NRA Benefit Dinner and despite what the Interweb says about KelTec mine has never missed a beat. Admittedly I am on...

Late to the party since it has already sold, but for future reference this was a stainless steel Model 60. A nickeled 36 would have a case hardened trigger and hammer such as seen in the picture below. My BBQ gun, also suitable for weddings and funerals. That man in back asking how to tell the...

Also from the dark ages, a cheap "holster" from the pair of reading glasses is the perfect size to slip in a 1911 magazine. Keeps the dust and lint out. If you are going to pocket carry mags....

One ten rounder by Chip McCormick generally. One thing nobody has mentioned is the extra length makes it easier to grab from concealment. Carrier is an old Bianchi inside the waistband unit. Comfortable to pack and easy to position on the belt. Hey old timers, remember the flat nose 230 grain...
