That pretty much sums it up. I bought an M1941 Johnson several years ago. I did some reading to educate myself quickly. By the time the Johnson rifle came along, the Garand rifle was solidly in place. John Garand had been employed by Springfield Armory for the purpose of designing a semi...

I watched the Puppy Bowl. Team Fluff won, but I think it was a questionable call.

My J Frame favorites are my S&W 642UC .38, and 431PD 32 Mag.

Carrying multiple guns is polarizing as hell, and I don’t get it. But here I go with my take. I carry at least two guns. Why? I can name several reasons but here’s three off the top of my head. Guns break and/or malfunction. It’s a lot quicker to draw another gun than to fix the...

I was rethinking this thread and decided it would be easier to list calibers/cartridges I don’t like. I’d start a thread on that, but it’s bedtime.

No trouble with the splines so far. They were in good shape when I got it, and I keep them covered with the special grease on both BMWs. I haven’t ridden the brick in a while, though. I got bit by a common problem the bricks have: The dreaded grub screw. If you don’t know, on these, the...

K1600s are amazing. I’ve heard people say such and such engine is “electric motor smooth” and thought yeah, sure. Well, the K1600 is pretty close! I test rode one at a dealer’s demo day and couldn’t get over it. We rode as a group, and when we stopped at a stop sign, I started to pull away...

I started on a Rupp minibike in 1976, then the natural progression to a Kawasaki 80, etc, etc. Gave it up when I moved to the Chicago area for a few years in the late 80s. Started back into it in 2017, by buying what I wanted years before: a BMW K75. I added a BMW R1100RS a couple years...

I don’t know. I really don’t know. Maybe if I made some categories. General rifle: .308 Target rifle: 6.5 Creedmoor Carry semiauto: 9mm Carry revolver: .38/.357 Fun handgun: .22, .44 Spl

I don’t think they are willing to tell the rest of the story.

Most places do. Its just a question of how informed the residents are. "That kind of thing doesn't happen here" usually does in fact happen there.

I thought they were so damned silly I only made it through the first dozen. Granted, I might've been as old as HS age then. I should read one now and see if I stop at one or keep going. I do recall they get farther and farther out there as it went on.

OK, why 3"?

Louis Awerbuck used to spend some time in his shotgun classes exploring the use of different loads in the shotgun. He would setup one paper target (for slugs) and a steel target (for shot) then put you through scenarios. Even with only two targets and only two loads, he could get the most...

Those were the stupidest books. Only an idiot would read them. (Don't forget Rourke's buddy Paul Rubenstein, who used an MP40 he insisted on calling a "Schmeisser".)

What am I doing right now? Not a damned thing! Ground full of snow. Couch full of dogs. Nowhere I need to go but that dog couch.

Yes, I do, but I think the better question is “Do you take your gun(s) off to do yard work?”

I got a 3” 10mm GP100 last year after wanting one for a few years. The GP100s and L-frames are about as big as I like to carry. Since the GP’s 10mm is the biggest bore in that frame in a six-shot, I had to have one. It’s a good gun, but while the GP100 is only slightly larger than an L-frame...

I was hoping to see them appear at SHOT, but I guess not.
