He'd be a vast improvement. (y)

I always heard good thing about the .41 Mag, but never got around to trying it. I like the .357, but never warmed up to the .44 Magnum. The .41 might be a good compromise. But, at this stage of life, I don't need another caliber to mess with. :rolleyes:

I love revolvers and have no issue at all with carrying one. But I do readily admit that my primary carry is a Commander sized 1911. By current thinking, I'm under gunned with that too as I only have 8 rounds. :rolleyes: However, more and more as I get older, I find myself carrying My S&W 642...

I love .22s of all kinds and have several .22 revolvers. I've always heard good things about the Heritage Rough Rider, but honestly, every time I looked at one, it just appeared to be poorly and cheaply made. I just didn't care for it. Maybe I'm wrong as they do seem to be very popular. A few...

This is the result of the current American educational system. And its exactly what they want. 🤬

My favorite semi-auto is the 1911 in either .45acp or .38 Super. (y) My favorite revolver is my S&W 4" Model 18 .22LR. Wonderfully accurate and just plain fun! :love:

Trump is an arrogant, egotistical azzhole who is bound and determined to cement his "legacy" by slapping his name on anything he can find. I have no doubt that this is his idea. 🤬 I think there are far more deserving names for this new ship.

I truly believe that the vast majority of LEOs are fine people just trying to do a difficult job. But you'll always have a few that think a badge is a license to be a bully and A-hole. They need to go and deserve everything they have coming.

I remember Shakey's. One opened not far from my house when I was still a teenager in the 1960s. Good pizza, live piano player, sometimes a Barber Shop quartet and the first restaurant I was ever in that sold beer. I liked it! Being close to home, that's where we got all our pizza from. But its...

Of the limited number of pizza places near me, Pizza Hut is by far the best. But we haven't had a sit down restaurant around here for years. I do remember them and did like them. Now its order by phone or on-line and they deliver. While convenient, it just ain't the same. Meat Lovers on classic...

Lots of collectors have special guns that they will never shoot. Nothing really wrong with that. Your gun, your choice. I'm not one of them. Years ago I bought an absolutely pristine 1956 S&W .357 Magnum (pre-27) with the uncommon 5" barrel. Beautiful gun. For 5-6 years it just sat in the safe...

Some sort of axe has always been a part of my camping/survival gear. I keep a hatchet in my get home bag. I prefer a flat or hammer head on the backside. You'd be surprised at how often you need a hammer. Especially when constructing shelters. For general purpose use I like a camp axe with...

When I was in the Army (1972-75) we griped about just about everything. Food, conditions, missing home or whatever. Complaining is the normal state of any military member. But we only complained to each other. Never to our superiors and certainly not to the media. When it came down to it, we...

I fully agree with the Gray Man concept and try my best to live by it. However, I disagree with the author's demeanor remarks. Bad guys are looking for people who aren't paying attention and tend to avoid those that obviously do. Sometimes all it takes is a firm, but not threatening, look into...

In 1973 I did a couple of months schooling at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD. At that time they had all kinds of tanks and armored vehicles from many countries displayed along the roads. Although most of them were pretty well stripped, many had open hatches that you could get in through. It was...

Like a brick through a plate glass window.

An honest person wouldn't want to be a politician. If by chance an honest person is elected, it won't be long before the corrupt system makes them just as crooked as everybody else. That's just the way of politics in this nation.

Open carry is legal here and I do see it from time to time. But it is rare enough that it draws undue attention. I prefer to not draw attention. As a friend of mine once said "The bad guy shouldn't realize that you're armed until the second bullet hits him in the chest."

20 for 20 here. And most of them multiple times. ;)

When I worked for the City, we had an Animal Control officer who was working on his second career. He was a retired Police Officer. Each year he would join a group of full time officers on the range to keep up his firearm qualification. All these much younger guys with the latest whizz bang...
