    Speeding on freeways

    I have a 27-year-old Jaguar XK8 with about 85,000 miles on it. I'm not overstressing the drivetrain and drive the speed limit. When I drove the Oregon State highways to Salem for my VA appointment, I took it easy and avoided a potential accident. (A bedroom dresser had fallen from a vehicle and...

    The US Army’s only air to air kill since WW2 was done with a .50 cal in Vietnam

    You have to love that Napalm. (Big, or small. Napalm sticks to them all!)

    Discussion: Why You Don’t Need Hollow Points

    They were never meant to be "duty-size" pistols. People keep insisting on stuffing hot, duty-sized rounds in smaller handguns, then complain that the smaller pistols are difficult to shoot well. They require extensive training and tend to wear out sooner. It is easier to manage a smaller...

    Discussion: Why You Don’t Need Hollow Points

    Once upon a time I thought the .32 NAA was an excellent idea. The added case capacity, coupled with a slower burning propellant could have worked well in a 3.5"-4" barrel. NAA insisted on putting it in a tiny 2"-2.2" barrel pistol. It worked, but they also put a .380 in the little Guardian...

    Discussion: Why You Don’t Need Hollow Points

    Wheel guns are not, with some exceptions, ammunition sensitive. Self-loading (closed chamber) pistols are a different story. The .30 Super Carry was an excellent idea. It is too bad that it didn't catch on. I liked the concept.

    Discussion: Why You Don’t Need Hollow Points

    Most "pipeheads" have lost so much grey matter that after their "batteries" have been "expended" there isn't much left to drag into court. (Hint: Their bodies and minds are completely FUBAR.)

    Most encounters take place at close range. I don't know of any violent offenders who are asking what caliber you are shooting. Most are trying to avoid being shot.

    Within a second or two, I can empty my Walther PP with the hottest FMJ loads in an area the size of a teacup. This usually brings a nasty encounter to a hasty conclusion. John Moses Browning was no one's fool. It works.

    Discussion: Why You Don’t Need Hollow Points

    "This is why smaller, or lower-powered, centerfire cartridges are best served by either FMJ or Lehigh-type projectiles." I am a firm believer in driving the .32 and .380 ACP cartridges at maximum velocities in Lehigh-style (loaded by Underwood Ammunition) and those of similar construction at...

    The High-Performance .38 Super

    The 9x25 Dillon is an excellent cartridge and exceeds the .357 S&W Magnum by a substantial margin. Sadly, it didn't take off either.

    Ballistics of the 73-grain FMJ European (CIP) loads from a 3.9" Walther PP barrel.

    It is. You would be shocked at the pistol's value. The price of admission is a little over $350.00. They imported a limited run and left those who wanted them in the lurch. They had no locking mechanism which made the pistol even better. It is accurate, shoots like a house afire and has all the...

    Ballistics of the 73-grain FMJ European (CIP) loads from a 3.9" Walther PP barrel.

    73 gr (5 g) FMJ[4]1,043 ft/s (318 m/s)177 ft⋅lbf (240 J) I like this load. I couldn't care less about expansion. Penetration is the imperative. This should penetrate the sternum and reach the heart/lungs to "disrupt the plumbing." It will probably work nearly as well from my 3.5" Bersa Thunder...

    Potent Potables (aka What’s your poison?)

    I prefer to drink non-alcoholic Egg Nog. It's my birthday drink (December 1st.) I stay sober, and it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg to drink as much as I want.
