I spent the winter carrying a S&W 21-4 .44 Spl as my primary, and it felt good.

Every time I see the word “Corpsman” my loathing for a certain former president grows a little more.

Fine, I’ll jump in. I will agree with the statement that Simunitions training is great. However… I’m pretty much a training junkie. I will take any class I can get to and afford. Having said that, my last Simunitions class was at least eight years ago. It was also my only Simunitions...

HK P7. Hey, it’s striker-fired.

I’m gonna be up all night now.

I suppose there is some truth to the basic premise. I buy some guns out of fear. For starters: Fear of bad people. Fear of the government. Fear of going hungry. Fear of missing out on a nice old gun. Fear of not having something to leave my kids. Most importantly, fear of being outshot by my...

Always a flood of people wanting to eliminate Monaco from the schedule due to it being a parade with no passing. I say if they are only watching the race, they are missing out on something special. All three practice sessions plus qualifying are the most exciting of the year. That’s 4/5s of...

Watching F1 practice. Monaco baby!

Being small caliber doesn’t make it the smallest priced. A quick look at Gunbroker auctions ending within the next few hours shows that a 9mm pistol can be had for the price of a .25 pistol. Even Jeff Cooper will tell you to get the 9mm.

So now the cost of a .25 gun relative to others has come into it? I guess I missed that new twist. But that’s how it goes with the few supporters of such guns. The “ifs” keep appearing. It’s great! If you can’t carry anything else… And if you compare it to a .22… And if you can’t afford...

When someone disparages Jeff Cooper, I’m gonna have to say something. The .25 ACP sucks for defensive use. Comparing it to the .22 Rimfire only proves the point. The standard arguments for it say the same thing. Well, it beats not having a gun, is better than a sharp stick, etc. Here...

*Jerks awake* Did I hear 38 Super? I love that round. It should be more popular, but too many people say “I’d like to try one someday” and never do. If that describes anyone reading this: Go ahead. Do it.

I did have to put the belt back on once. Annoying kid.

What am I doing? I’m glad you asked. I’m drinking a margarita and petting my dog while our kid mows our grass.

Wow.

Is that enough? It’s big enough. It’s bigger than a Sig P365.

I wouldn’t point to the .22’s use as an assassination weapon for an example of its effectiveness. Mossad walking up behind a guy at a urinal and popping him in the ear isn’t the average defensive shooting where you need a stop right now.

Yes, Beagling. I don’t know of there is any one reason for variations in moulds, but worn cutting cherries is a likely cause. I do sometimes wonder if it’s as simple as we are expecting too much precision from a not-so-precise practice. And that practice could be the manufacture of moulds...

As you start working with casting, you will find you can vary the diameter some with technique. For example, casting with hotter mix and keeping the mould hot by casting fast usually makes a slightly larger bullet. Plus there are ways to to “grow” a mould, like placing strips of aluminum tape...

It might not be my first choice either, but you might be surprised how many are out there in use.
