I thinks it’s one of the meds I’m on that makes me heat intolerant. I’m not on much but a couple says to avoid direct sunlight. I joke about being old I’m just 64 in good health except having arthritis everywhere that made me retire early. Stay weather aware guys. A heat stroke put my papa in...

Well me and a friend had a range day planned for Wednesday but with the heat index in the triple digits we called it off. Humidity here in the south makes it feel like you put on a body suit when you go outside. He has a new Canik he just picked up today he is wanting to try out plus I’m wanting...

I cast my on bullets for my 10mm 44 mag and 45/70. I’ve pushed 315gr FNGC out of my Super Blackhawk to 1400fps. Primers were pancaked but not bad. That’s the cool thing about Ruger Super Blackhawk’s you can push loads hotter out of them with no ill effects. But the 454 will generate twice the...

I’ve carried for several decades mainly a Tshirt and jeans. Work is different untucked polo and jeans. Appendix carry

Totally understand. The HellCat wasn’t on my radar until I got to try it. I agree on the size making or breaking a gun if it to small it hard to control to large and it’s hard to conceal.

Underwood Ammo is close with there 180gr XTP load with it loaded with a velocity of 1300fps. I would like the 220gr load in a hollow point bullet would be awesome. But we won’t see that load. Most of the Ammo loaded now is 40 S&W loads except for BB and UA. 10mm is a great round but I would not...

Do we have any Ham’s on this forum? If so tell me about your shack.

That’s why my son and grandson will inherit all of firearms. Now my ham radio equipment I will have to keep up with the prices.

All auto rimless cartridges headspace’s on the case mouth if you put a very heavy tapered crimp on the cartridge you have no headspace. The 40 S&W case is healed in place by the extractor kinda ancting like a rimmed cartridge and when it is fired the case expands and seals the chamber. Do I shot...

I have always liked the 10mm but I have no use for the 45acp. When the FBI was looking at a cartridge to replace the 9mm they looked at the ballistics of the 41 magnum but in an automatic platform. The 45acp had a bad habit of ricocheting off of windshields ( slant of the windshield and bullet...

When I carry my 10mm I have Underwood Ammo 150gr xtp at 1500fps and that gives it 756 foot pounds of energy. Recoil is manageable and bullet weight IMO is the best for social work. Underwood offers the 135gr Nosler at 1700fps out of a 5” barrel. But this is a sporting bullet and doesn’t stand up...

I’m past my prime but I ain’t dead yet.

The auto pistols of the time were still very finicky. The 1911 magazines needed to be tuned to the pistol. The military 1911’s had very loose tolerances and that effected accuracy. The revolver was easier to teach someone how to use. Recoil of the 38spl was a lot less that the 45acp and people...

The 1911 beds to be in 10mm. 😁

My automotive shop teacher eats at Wendy’s every morning and whoever is working 1st shift at the Gas n Go he brings us a cup of coffee. I think he told me he is 77 years old.

Reminds me of a your momma joke. Your momma’s so fat Earl Scheib wouldn’t paint her for 29.95.

Align your front and rear sight and your dot is there. The sights don’t have to be perfectly aligned.

So are you saying Artificial Intelligence would be the only Intelligence on this form?

Y’all are thinking to small buy an abandoned missile silo and build a ICBM.

When we did mount training (combat in the city) in the military the guys in the buildings had red rider BB guns we had to go in only wearing t shirt and utility pants. We would put two guy in the first building we cleared take off their blank adapters and drive blanks into the muzzle of their...
