I love High Standards. I haven’t watched the video yet because I know it will be a tough watch.

I’ve had three of their 1911s and one revolver. The first 1911 was a TLE II. It had some failures to fire early on because the new-at-the-time firing pin safety wasn’t timed properly. Only having the grip safety absolutely positively fully pressed in until bottomed would clear the firing pin...

I always thought these were good looking rifles. Our 4-H club has two Lyman Plains Rifles- Just the thing for little kids to handle!

Watching LeMans for the past several hours.

FWIW, from top to bottom that’s a S&W model 12, an SA-35 with Trijicon RMR, and a 642UC. I’m saying that so I can once again take the opportunity to say the S&W model 12 is the S&W revolver most missed out on.

I’m with you except the “Go Hoosiers” part. IU closed down my gun club in Bloomington in the late 90s and has been dead to me (spit) since.

I carry a HiPower (1935), S&W model 12 (1953 or 1899), and a S&W 642 (1952).

I guess I was thinking Basscliff.

Bassbob left? I missed that.

Me too.

I love Le Mans and often stay up and watch the entire thing. I hate it that Porsche isn’t in Hypercar, but glad Cadillac is. And look who got the pole! At least for now.

When I think of Savage 99s, I always make the comparison of the Savage 1895 and the Winchester 1895. For those who don’t know, the biggest structural difference between the Savage 95 and 99 is the bolt rear and matching receiver contour. The 95’s is squared while the 99 gets a subtle rounding...

Revolvers are the most fun to me. I only have a Ruger Old Army in stainless right now, but I feel it’s a good one to have if you have just one. One I’ve always wanted, I think I see in your group. That’s an 1862 Pocket Police. Those have always been one of the cutest/prettiest to me.

I’m an instructor with 4-H Shooting Sports. Of the several disciplines we do, Rifle, Pistol, and Muzzleloader shoot together at the same time and location in our county. So while I’m mainly the club’s Rifle and Pistol guy, I am there with the old-timey guns. I am happy to report that today’s...

I’ll agree there! Before I lived in south Louisiana, I didn’t like spicy food at all. I had to learn to like it or I might’ve starved, but I’m glad I did. It’s the saving grace of my otherwise bad experience working there. A few years ago, we took a family trip from Indiana to Texas. When we...

Something I just noticed in reading Lone Gunman’s excellent reply: The OP states there are no walk-throughs in a gunfight, yet promotes Simunitions training. In Simunitions training, there is at the least a briefing before a scenario. Neither that or “gun games” simply turns you loose to start...

I carry way too much in my pockets. I wear carpenter jeans for the extra pockets, in fact. They weigh a ton with all my pocket junk. I suppose it’s a carryover from my previous life as an airplane mechanic and getting used to having tools and hardware filling my pockets all the time. So yes...

I love Cajun jokes, having lived among ‘em a little while.

A friend had a 5.56 AK of some variety and it was awful. It had some goofy magwell for AR mags that was a mess. The magazines fit so tight it sometimes took two of us to get them out. Malfunctions no matter what was used. I know I shouldn’t, but I think of that one when I see any 5.56 AK...
