    Bye Bye Springfield Armory?

    I was born in Illinois and lived there until I went in the Army. When I came home I couldn't stand the place. Taxes for this taxes for that. Carry a firearm? Don't be absurd. I moved north and never looked back. Even their Tolls are outrageous. $1.80 per Toll Booth and $3.50 to handle it...

    The yearly LEOSA Qualification has malfunction requirements and Pass/Fail scores. I look forward to it every year. Some red face's from Old Retirees and Young Cop's both.

I moped around did a little shooting and Fishing but no Hiking my heart wasn't in it. Fast forward to my Birthday. My Wife takes me out to a...

    Oldest Self Defense Gun You Would Still Carry?

    A couple of old LEO Friends were over and we were talking about our current carry guns. One guy said "I'm still carrying mine." He had a .38 S&W Chief Special, That started it off. I voted for my CZ82 9X18 MM. 12 twelve shots, and as accurate as the day I bought it. How about you?

    Open Carry?

    This differs from State to State, but if legal do you? It's been legal here in Wisconsin forever, but fairly rare. I do open carry when Hiking, Fishing, or just kicking around in my own woods but do not in the towns or cities. I have seen people doing it to make a statement about support for...

    Anyone carry TWO?

    I used to carry a second gun when I was working. I had and still have CZ 82. A 12 round gem firing the 9X18 MM ammunition. Think a slightly hotter .380. I tried it in ankle holster. That didn't work, it felt like a brick when I was walking. It worked alright in a shoulder holster, but it wasn't...

    Show off your Every Day Carry!

    I did Basic Training with the M-14 and that was one accurate rifle. I shot expert with mine. Truth be told I'm glad I didn't have to carry it Viet Nam. Not the rifle itself, but weight of the ammunition plus the rifle was too much,

    I had an M-16A1 and it was out of the box new when it was issued to me and yes I'd pay five figures for it. The LE 1620 is no slouch though!

    The gun is exactly like I bought it in 1970. I didn't do the "Absolutely necessary" collet bushing upgrade or anything else. Hard to believe I carried this for twenty years but back then Colt made guns to last. My SP-1 is still shooting great after all this time too!

    The KUNA's brace feels a bit short to me. Nature of the beast, I guess. The Saint Victor has very good reviews. When I was working the Colt SMG was what we had, I never liked it. I still don't know what attracted me to the KUNA, but I'm glad I bought it. If you decide on the Saint Victor I...

    I worked a trade with the local ACE hardware that will give me $275.00 credit toward the purchase of any gun I want. The trade in is a Taurus TH45 that WILL NOT WORK! This the third gun Taurus sent me that will not function with 230 Grain FMJ. I quit. I'm losing close to $200 on the deal but...
