    Economic meltdown. How far do you think will the markets go?

    The stock market is much like an aircraft in turbulence. It takes an unexpected dip and drops, and 95% of the people who are inexperienced flyers get white knuckled, and think it's going to crash into the ground, and kill everyone onboard.

    Chicago Is At It Again

    This is what Democratic "leadership" gets you in Chicago. You're safer in Baghdad or Kabul. https://vidmax.com/video/214643-5-people-shot-during-mass-shooting-in-chicago-during-a-weekend-of-heightened-violence

    An act of kindness goes terribly bad for armed man.

    Sadly it has come to this, but I really doubt I would stop for ANYONE today. I would instead make a call telling local law enforcement about the "stranded" person..... Assuming they really were. But I would make no attempt to render assistance myself. It's just not worth the risk. Especially at...

    Kimber and Springfield 1911s…

    1911's in general are difficult guns to build properly. One of the reasons is they are very susceptible to a condition known as, tolerance stacking. The design is such that a lot of things have to be right, but very few things can be wrong, or else there will be operational issues because of it...

    Rock Island Armory A1

    My Rock Island G.I. in 9 MM. I jazzed it up a bit with a set of Dan Eagle grips and gold screws. It runs like a scalded dog that just got kicked in the nuts. Stainless Steel magazines are from Dawson Precision.

    New 65" TV

    TV's have been "disposable" for many years now, regardless of cost or brand. When is the last time you saw a "TV Repair" shop in business?

    New 65" TV

    I'll bet that thing cost a pretty penny in it's day. I remember back in 1967 my mom paid $368.00 for a 14" RCA color portable. That was big money back then.... And it weighed a TON!

    New 65" TV

    The wall mounted 55" Samsung in our living room came with the house when we bought it 3 years ago. It's been OK, but has a sound bar my wife hates, because of the poor sound quality it produces. And I hated the tiny little "credit card" remote it used, along with how poorly it operated. The...

    The Uvalde Report

    He, (Scot Israel), wasn't reinstalled. He was given another position as Chief Of Police of Opa Locka, Florida. Which is ridiculous. He should have been kicked out of law enforcement for life.

    The Uvalde Report

    I'm not so sure that "training" in itself, is what we should be looking at here with such a big magnifying glass. How much training did the citizen have who took out the Greenwood Mall, Indianapolis shooter actually have? I'm guessing it was very little to none. And he bravely applied common...

    The Uvalde Report

    I doubt it matters. Not exactly sure how you would go about "training" the cowardice out of people? Perhaps by not allowing them to become police officers in the first place. Remember, we had the same thing happen during the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida. There was a cop in...

    The Uvalde Report

    You had literally dozens of armed and "trained" police officers on the scene in minutes..... And they did nothing for the better part of an hour, while those kids were being systematically shot and killed. And their complaint is no one was in charge?..... Including the Chief Of Police? Are they...

    Considering Reloading Shotgun Shells

    Too much of a PITA. Besides, I'm still shooting $12.00 @ bag shot from the 90's.

    ATF new director confirmed by Senate

    Collins, Murkowski, and Romney are as damaging to the Republicans, as Manchin and Sinema are to the Democrats.

    Considering Reloading Shotgun Shells

    If you want to get into shotshell reloading NOW to learn, and to enjoy the experience, that's fine. But leave any hope of "saving money" at the doorstep right here, right now. Because you won't. Not today with shot selling at, or over $50.00 @ bag, and powder at $30.00+ a pound. And I won't...

    🚨New Scam Be Alert 🚨

    Don't walk away, RUN from ANYPLACE that won't accept Visa, AMEX, or Mastercard for payment. My bank, (J.P. Morgan Chase), told me in no uncertain terms, that ANY online payment system that requires an "app" to use, is usually fraudulent, or can be made so very easily. They get complaints about...

    Ayoob: Is It Time to Retire the 1911?

    I get sick of reading these "articles"..... "Is it time to retire the 1911, .30-06, .30-30, etc." NO.... NO.... NO!!!

    Do certain gun articles annoy you?

    Not an article, but gun talk related. I tried to join another forum, and as part of the registration, they ask you a "random question" to prove you're not a bot or a spammer. And this is the total nonsense they ask. The "question" is: "Joe and the (2 letters)". What the hell kind of question...
