Super nice result! But I’m biased toward almost anything .44 Spl. I almost didn’t read it because I had read the earlier 544 conversion article and thought that’s what was linked.

I got my Frank Hamer on today.

BHPs bite different people different ways. The most obvious is by the spur. The other way is by what I call the shank- the upright between the hammer pivot pin and the spur. From what I’ve seen, more people get bit by this than the spur. Sometimes a change to a hammer with a different...

I have a BHP .40 S&W. It’s my only remaining .40 and I kept it because it’s the only gun in that caliber I ever had that truly shot well. The thicker slide messes with the wonderful HiPower balance IMO, making it feel more like a 1911 to me. Small difference to most unless they are used to...

Jerry Ahern again! When I carry a 1911, I carry two spare mags. Come to think of it… When I carry a HiPower, I carry two spare mags. When I carry a revolver, I carry two speedloaders.

How tall is your Publix? I’ve seen some big ones.

If they hold a belief opposing mine and keep it private, I don’t care. Ideally, I shouldn’t know what they think about hot topics. If they want to preach to me about it, I don’t want to hear it. With some exceptions, that also includes if we are on the same side. That’s not why I bought a...

What’s the worst that can happen if you lose any of these things? But even at that, I do know people who have a spare car key tucked away somewhere. A lot of people wear a watch in addition to having a clock on their phone. I’ve known lots of people who keep two knives on them. And when...

Why did i post that? This may get long. Those who do carry a second/third/whatever can come up with plenty of reasons to rationalize it. I'm one who carries a spare, and I can probably come up with 50-60 reasons why. And four or five of those actually make some sense! But those who don't...

Getting face licks from my dog. I just got home from giving an annual Range Safety Orientation at the conservation club. Trying to keep us open another year.

And one big advantage I see to them, that no other type offers, is you can have two independent actions and barrels. Designs vary, so its not completely true with some that share mechanical components, but with others its the case. One can fail completely, and you still have a rifle.

I would love to be a double rifle enthusiast, but don’t have the income. They are very interesting though, that’s for sure. For someone of the means, they would be a collecting and shooting world all their own.

I have a… I don’t know… call it a thought exercise for everyone. As you go about your day tomorrow, at random times, ask yourself “If I needed my carry gun right this second, how easily can I get it?” Do this from the time you get up until you go back to bed. All day long. Think about this...

If I were to carry a .380, penetration would be my concern. I’d load either Buffalo Bore 100 cast, Underwood 100 cast, or the old Remington 102 Golden Saber.

5’-7” and 180. HiPower IWB, revolver appendix, both under a shirt. If in jeans, a J frame on my ankle.

I know it makes most wonder why, but I have a Ruger LCR in 9mm. So why? Convenience. So I have no excuse not to get some snubby practice whenever I’m at the range. I always have 9mm ammo around. There is some in the back of the SUV somewhere, no matter what I’m shooting. There is no...

For some reason, even though I’ve seen it several times before, when I saw this thread title just now I thought it asked what I’m reloading. I’m reading: I

I started a reply and kept thinking I had just done this. But that’s how it is with this topic. It’s being discussed on some forum right now, and if things go as usual, a good percentage are shocked or amused by the idea. I don’t get that. I know people who carry constantly, wouldn’t leave...

Didn’t we just discuss this? Some guy named Pieter Coetzee brought it up. https://www.thearmorylife.com/forum/threads/is-two-guns-too-much.25274/
