The revolver is safe, simple and effective. The whole failure drill is pull the trigger again. I dearly love the 1911, but it requires considerably more training and practice to master. Most PDs don't have the time or budget for that.

My first car was a 1963 Mercury Comet that I bought wrecked. I got some junk yard body parts and fixed it up. Then Ol' Earl slapped on his $29.95 special. Midnight Blue. The car looked great! But after a year or so, the paint started coming off in chunks. For that price you don't get much prep...

We need pictures!

I read Yeager's book too. One hell of a man! (y) One reason Yeager was such a good fighter pilot was that he had 20/10 vision. No radar back then. He simply saw the other guy first. ;)

If the intruder is already in your home, de-escalation is doubtful. He already decided he's there for a reason and doesn't care that you're home. If the sight of your gun doesn't send him running, pull the trigger. Maybe a sign on the front door: "ATTENTION THIEVES: I am mute. You won't get a...

Actually the rules for a Darwin Award is that you have to do something really stupid and NOT survive it. If you live, you're just a major dumbazz.

I remember it very well. They ran full page ads in all the popular gun magazines at the time.

The beauty of a .22 revolver is that it'll shoot any ammo you put in it. I see no reason to shoot expensive low velocity ammo when there's so much good high velocity and much cheaper ammo readily available. :rolleyes:

In 1972, Uncle Sam handed me a M-16A1. It was a POS! Damned things were prone to all manner of problems. I never did like it and never wanted one. 🤬 But in 2018, the antis were pushing hard to ban them. So I figured I might as well get one while I could. I bought a S&W M&P 15 Just to have one...

Optics are fine on competition, target or hunting handguns where shots might be out to 50 yards or more. I'm not a fan of optics of CCW guns. Odds are they're gonna be used at close range and you'll probably end up point shooting anyway.

"The world needs more whimsy." I like that! (y)

I wonder if they managed to find all the bugs Qatar planted in it? I'm sure they were quite sneaky about it. :rolleyes:

Why is that?

The only Taurus I've ever owned was a little PT-25 mouse gun. It worked just fine and never gave me any trouble at all. But I never warmed up to its DAO trigger and its gone. :rolleyes: Never really gave Taurus semi-autos much attention. Just nothing there ever appealed to me. My best friend...

I just checked and Tennessee has already passed the COS bill. So I guess my opinion doesn't matter. :rolleyes: Yeah, my guess is that it would end up as a very nasty and further dividing stalemate.

Hayes, I hope you're right. The feds definitely need to be reigned in. But I fear that this is a can of worms we may regret opening. :rolleyes:

The problem with having a Constitutional Convention is that ALL of the Constitution is then open to amendment. The antis have made it well known that they want to eliminate the entire 2nd Amendment. The liberals are also likely to try to gut much of the Bill of Rights. While I also believe that...

Good for that family. (y)

Magazines are considered expendable items. Just replace it.
