    Rebirth of AR-15 Rifle Training?

    I'm gonna call "click bait" on this one. AR-15 training has never abated. Not from the shooting / tactical perspective. Not from the armorer / 'smithing perspective. BUT... The U TOOBERS are always chasing the "new" and "innovative" and whatever's "hot". So the stodgy ol' AR-15 takes a back...

    Smaller Guns for Defense?

    ^^^^ ALL of THIS ^^^^ IWB does, indeed, hide half the gun. And that is half the battle in concealed carry. Comfort? One needs pants with at least two sizes larger waistband. No, they won't stay up if you DON'T have your IWB holster in place UNLESS your belt has a couple extra notches you...

    Missing Hiker Found Dead in Glacier National Park Was Likely Killed by a Grizzly

    And I forgot about "kids" these days.... so... "And don't try to take a selfie with the animals either." Might be the number one warning to be given instead of last.

    Missing Hiker Found Dead in Glacier National Park Was Likely Killed by a Grizzly

    Please don't feed the animals, pet the animals, nor get anywhere near close enough to them to do either.

    Anyone else into PCC’s?

    Those are all pretty cool blasters.

    Favorite Handgun Company?

    I once found a magazine for one of those in the bin at a local gun shop. I snatched it up and thereafter kept it stuffed with dummy rounds. I'd flash it around some of my shooting buddies and tell them that it was the extra mag for my snubby revolver. :D 😁

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    Nice gun, and some nice 'hide. Who's the holster maker?

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    That's still not a bad idea... Just have to be careful to remove it and lock it away when you're not behind the wheel... Sounds super-accessible while seated behind the wheel.

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    There ya go raggin' on my pipe dream that ALL Glocks are "perfect". They DO have a very unfortunate choice of a marketing "tag line", don't they, with regard to ANY change they choose to make. On a serious note, I admire great engineering anywhere I find it, and despite any negative...

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    'Cuz the flash from the frizzen and pan would "blow up" the night vision.... LOL

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    I'm mostly jus' yankin' your chain, while pointing out what some might consider a pedantic change, but is really a very intelligent modification. If one really wanted to get into the weeds about it, every time that S&W increments their "suffix" on a given model number indicates an engineering /...

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    Now, that's not quite true... The J frame "innovated" by switching to the compression coil mainspring. 😁:p I'm not certain about its predecessor the I frame. All kidding aside, a compression coil spring, whenever it CAN be implemented in a design, is the "bees knees" when it comes to...

    Subsonic ammo

    And that's the world we live in... Twice the price for half the bang! It's called "marketing." Think about it: all subsonic ammo (both rifle and handgun) is relatively puny, running at velocities that magnumitis afflicted handgunners have sneered at for decades. Now, subsonic ammo...

    Whats the oldest (design) gun you would carry for protection?

    One should be a student of weaponcraft... In the sense that one will never get to pick and choose the place nor time when attacked. And you will have to resist that evil with whatever you have at hand. It will never hurt to be familiar with the "manual of arms" for a variety of weapons, not...

    Favorite Handgun Company?

    Most "major names" have at least one iconic model. If one "likes" a particular iconic model, then by association, one probably "likes" the company or at least the brand. Now, by a show of hands, how many of you "like" just one, and only one, particular model of gun?? Anyone? Bueller?

    Left of Bang: How Marines Avoid Ambushes

    This is an excellent book, chock full of good information, especially if one is just a "regular Joe" who's led a "normal life" and hasn't had the "opportunity" to hone one's spidey senses. I "loaned" my copy to a firearms instructor following a post-class conversation and he never returned...

    Naw.... It needs to be a matchlock.

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    Yeah, the Texas location was out west of Kerrville, a bit west of Mountain Home (really just a post office and a volunteer FD station). They (Clint and Heidi) didn't actually have ownership of the Texas location, and so they bought the Oregon property and moved there just before 2000. I was in...

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    Funny, I was looking at the data for this cartridge in the Lee manual this morning. It looks like a real whistler! Were there ever any factory guns turned out with this chambering? I've always been under the impression that it was a one-off, custom gun only. I'd not be surprised if Thompson...
