I’m a devoted fan of both the 1911 and the revolver. I am also smitten with revolver’s method of operation: straightforward, uncluttered, and rugged. It’s arguably the most reliable repeating handgun design ever made, capable of defying conditions that force many semi-automatics and 1911s to...

It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I do think there is a place for optics … but I’ve spent so many years and sent countless thousands…maybe hundreds of thousands…of rounds down range…while focusing on my sights that honestly the technique of just looking at a dot on a target is at times...

I submit that you are over thinking this. An ICE engine is not the same as a firearm and any comparison is not really a valid comparison .... I know it has been hotly debated for as long as there have been ICEs and firearms. Anytime the subject of "firearm lubricants" come up, you can ask 5...

The most important thing I want is CLEAN lubricant. Lucas works very well, so does Ballistol, white lithium and action lube. For years used lots of Mobil 1 in Zero or 5 wt with no issues either.............in hot weather, if using Mobil 1, I'll move up to 10 wt. Really not much need to look...

My thoughts on the topic .....In the words of the late Louis Awerbuck, (paraphrasing) "don't hang s____ off your pistol."

(checks notes) It's already right there in the 2A.

Well, at least Glock magazines are probably more plentiful than the magazines of other guns.

Boy you're not kidding! Easy. AR15. The choice of a PCC is going to make magazines a critical factor. With an AR, there is a greater likelihood that you will find spare mags in your AO. Plan accordingly. Remember the thread about what to have when the system breaks down and component...

I would snatch one of those RM380s up if/when I find one. I just think they are "neat." Wouldn't consider carrying one as a primary, EDC, but oh the cool factor.

You have a radio read water meter yet? Or gas meter?

Approximates the brain size of bear and movement as it’s charging. I figured anyone reading this thread would get the analogy.

Oh I know, I did not mean anything directed to you, Friend. We agree on the topic.

Have someone stand 35 feet or so away from you. Take a basketball and bounce it at you, waist high. See if you can hit that bouncing basketball as it closes the gap with you. That’s about a close a simulation I can think of. Better yet, do it from a position of the bottom of a hill so the...

Nothing like a good spirited debate on the topic!

Our local law enforcement even asks residents to allow access to their ring cams. We’re already living the Minority Report, I’m afraid.

Yes. I am by no means naive. I expect that my location can be readily determined if one wants to find me.

If the story you are referring to is Phil Shoemaker’s run in, he had his guest fishing between outings, and wasn’t expecting trouble from any bears. He was armed, and yes, it just so happened to be a Third Gen S&W 9mm. Phil is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to bears, bear behavior and...

Pretty much the way I feel too. I do a fair amount of criminal practice and therefore I am exposed first-hand to such individuals. I'd rather be armed and be the grey man with heightened situational awareness who is armed than unarmed and unaware.
