Yes, I do. I heard about the series via a workplace conversation. I rushed to "catch up" and then faithfully watched through the end of the series... It was mostly a very enjoyable "thriller series", although, like many TV series, in my opinion, they got lax in their script writing efforts...

OK. I'll jump in here. The 1911 is like.... That old faithful, somewhat beat up and weathered working truck that just keeps on running and doing its job, day in and day out

Or bungee strap on a gas powered generator....

That's an interesting piece of carry gear. My problem is that my "tactical donut" tends to backfill that little trailing and leading "slot" created by wearing the holster IWB. I guess I MIGHT be able to squeeze it in if I let out my belt 'nother notch... I might have to order one and try it...

It's true that the design was for unsuppressed firing with a fixed gas system. And I get what you're trying to convey about the convenience of the forward assist when tuning an adjustable gas block. I'm assuming that you squeeze the the adjustment down on the block until the amount of gas is...

If I can't "persuade" the cartridge to ease fully into the chamber and the bolt to lock up by pushing on the bolt carrier thumb cutout, I SURE ain't gonna get physical with the forward assist. The thumb cut was designed by Mr Stoner as part and parcel of the AR. The forward assist was designed...

But we have electric cars now to train us in the matter of uncertainty of how far we can go before we'd better turn back around and start looking for an outlet. So by the time we get our speeders, reckoning with that uncertainty should be no sweat!

That it! Thank you. My old memory has "holes in its pockets" and sometimes little factoids like that fall out and get lost.

"Why in the world would one FORCE a cartridge into the chamber when it obviously doesn't want to enter freely on its own?"

Ol' Saint Stoner didn't think much of the addition of the forward assist. He might be surprised that there is finally a "legitimate use case for it" ... or is there?? LOL.

My personal favorite Hunter book is the tale about where Bob's father, Earl, engages the services of a number of notable gun writers of the 50's, 60's and early 70's to help raid an illicit prison camp located in the backwaters of the Louisiana swamps. I can't remember that book's title off the...

The flying cars were ALMOST perfected. Then the green mandate thing came along and they had to start all over. 😁

Now THAT is "creative use" of confiscated property...

You are correct according to what I've read / seen / heard on the interwebs. Down there, any preceding laws banning the ownership of firearms chambered for a "military" cartridge is a moot point for the law abiding (and I'm certain there are far more of 'em than we give credit for), but it has...

👍Yes. Jack's story lines are very good, in my opinion. And his writing is improving with each and every book. My copy of The Fourth Option should hit the doorstep tomorrow before dusk.

Yep. Do you know of / read Jack Carr's Terminal List series of books? I have ONE 38 Super.... It's a Dan Wesson with a little fancy engraving. But that don't keep me from shooting it. I love that thing and love to shoot it. I've been an interested fan of the 38 Super ever since learning...

I live in / near a certain south central Texas city that has a very high percentage of residents of Mexican heritage. Just two weeks ago a local gunshop owner who has two locations, one on the north side of town, the other on the south side, told me that he can hardly sell a 38 Super out of his...

Well, we all know that the "wrist radio" (or whatever Mr. Tracey called it) eventually made it. So Detective Tracey might be right about the 38 Super's capability.... 😁

o_O :unsure: Kind of a scary thought considering how careless some (many?) are about controlling the direction of the muzzle of their firearm. I've been "flagged" way, way too many times in my life. If it'd been a light saber I'd have long ago required the additional technology of devices to...

It is a great deal... It appears as if the 38 Super is making a little comeback in very recent time.
