    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    Nice gun, and some nice 'hide. Who's the holster maker?

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    That's still not a bad idea... Just have to be careful to remove it and lock it away when you're not behind the wheel... Sounds super-accessible while seated behind the wheel.

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    There ya go raggin' on my pipe dream that ALL Glocks are "perfect". They DO have a very unfortunate choice of a marketing "tag line", don't they, with regard to ANY change they choose to make. On a serious note, I admire great engineering anywhere I find it, and despite any negative...

    'Cuz the flash from the frizzen and pan would "blow up" the night vision.... LOL

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    I'm mostly jus' yankin' your chain, while pointing out what some might consider a pedantic change, but is really a very intelligent modification. If one really wanted to get into the weeds about it, every time that S&W increments their "suffix" on a given model number indicates an engineering /...

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    Now, that's not quite true... The J frame "innovated" by switching to the compression coil mainspring. 😁:p I'm not certain about its predecessor the I frame. All kidding aside, a compression coil spring, whenever it CAN be implemented in a design, is the "bees knees" when it comes to...

    Subsonic ammo

    And that's the world we live in... Twice the price for half the bang! It's called "marketing." Think about it: all subsonic ammo (both rifle and handgun) is relatively puny, running at velocities that magnumitis afflicted handgunners have sneered at for decades. Now, subsonic ammo...

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    One should be a student of weaponcraft... In the sense that one will never get to pick and choose the place nor time when attacked. And you will have to resist that evil with whatever you have at hand. It will never hurt to be familiar with the "manual of arms" for a variety of weapons, not...

    Favorite Handgun Company?

    Most "major names" have at least one iconic model. If one "likes" a particular iconic model, then by association, one probably "likes" the company or at least the brand. Now, by a show of hands, how many of you "like" just one, and only one, particular model of gun?? Anyone? Bueller?

    Left of Bang: How Marines Avoid Ambushes

    This is an excellent book, chock full of good information, especially if one is just a "regular Joe" who's led a "normal life" and hasn't had the "opportunity" to hone one's spidey senses. I "loaned" my copy to a firearms instructor following a post-class conversation and he never returned...

    Naw.... It needs to be a matchlock.

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    Yeah, the Texas location was out west of Kerrville, a bit west of Mountain Home (really just a post office and a volunteer FD station). They (Clint and Heidi) didn't actually have ownership of the Texas location, and so they bought the Oregon property and moved there just before 2000. I was in...

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    Funny, I was looking at the data for this cartridge in the Lee manual this morning. It looks like a real whistler! Were there ever any factory guns turned out with this chambering? I've always been under the impression that it was a one-off, custom gun only. I'd not be surprised if Thompson...

    What are you doing right now??

    You speak the truth, sir. First of all, the number one and number two requirements for living "in the country" are a good water supply and a good septic system, both located as far from one another as possible. And yes, the aquifers across ALL of Texas, not just in South / Central Texas, have...

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    More 38/357 bullet molds, this time some used ones off of eBay. I think that I have enough on order now to keep me busy literally for the rest of my life, once I get situated back into my own space. But I gotta quit looking at more molds. Need. Help. Now.

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    Nice. When were you out there? Pre- Clint departure or after? I'm trying to get a little sense of what T/R is like now that Clint and Heidi have moved on.

    Get the chorus of Brad Paisley's "I'm gonna miss her..." ready to play. 🤣 😁 :rolleyes:

    Don't you just hate it when that happens?? LOL.

    I love me some P239. The grip on those things feel like they were MADE just for ME! :cool:

    The First 100 Rounds: Getting Starting with Handloading

    I have all types of presses (except an auto-indexing progressive) and I use all of them. However, when I am working up loads (handgun or rifle), running small batches (handgun or rifle), or basically exploring any new die type, etc., I find myself most often reverting back to a single stage...
