    Why People Hate the 1911 (and Why They’re Wrong)

    Go look at my lawn mower LOL... Well maybe not so funny as I walk by the vehicles to do so and the workbench and tool box. Yeah I have OCD, now I know owning a 1911 is a sure sign... I do, but it is a 1916 version and lives a live a life of leisure and damn it is a pretty thing sitting next to...

    WWII’s Most Bizarre Battle? Blimp vs. U-Boat

    Yeah, been there got the t-shirt, but the next one was far better and there was the next plane faster, higher and she arranged the purchase on credit cards no less. That was when you got promos weekly for transferring balances at 0% for six months. Just don't forget or 22% it was and is paid...

    WWII’s Most Bizarre Battle? Blimp vs. U-Boat

    Damn, I served in the Navy as an Airman and never heard anything about this... Would make a great movie as it touches all the points from ship of the air and sea with restricted speeds in a duel with all the aftermath.

    Best Bullet Weight for 1 in 7 Twist Rate?

    Great read and answered some of questions about why a 20" SS 1-7 twist loves to fire 55 grain BTHP over heavier rounds. I can custom load a 68 gr that will do well at 200 yards, but it doesn't like Factory 75 grain Match Rounds or others as much as the 55 grain. I actually zero with the 55...

    Do You Think the 1911 Is the Worst Gun for Cops?

    At least yours knows what the hammer is... Mine has to be armed with "pull trigger go bang", no safety involved. Oh she can shoot as she brought home her first target after CC training and made some comment about to don't forget it Bucko. As I stated earlier, the 1911 is a great platform and...

    Do You Think the 1911 Is the Worst Gun for Cops?

    Totally disagree with the logic on the allowance of a single action, cocked and locked 1911 for multiple reasons for duty carry. First, although I carried a .45 auto for over 36 years from military through a career in LE, it isn't the caliber. It is the system that a Dept or Agency adopts has...

    Most of my sling-wing time was in the Bell OH-58A+ and Long Ranger L-1,L-3+,and L-4 as the Company I was with, took delivery of the last L-4's built. Although having rode in a couple UH-1's, one of my fondest memory was a chance to fly the Whiskey Model Cobra used by the Marines prior to the...

    A Retired LEO’s Special Mil-Spec 1911

    Having also retired from a mid-sized agency at the rank of Major, the 1911 and was my retirement gift as well. There was experience with them, through the military before LE. Along with the M-14 for security details (yes I have the Springfield M1A). Full auto was a sight with a buck sixty...

    How to Clean an AR-15 Magazine

    I have on occasions given a light coat of a dry lubricant like Hornady One Shot or a Teflon based lub. As both go on like a liquid and after drying leave a dry coating of lubricant that won't attract dirt. The Hornady One Shot is used in my .22lr actions and leaves no visible film on the...

    Back-Up Guns for Cops: What Do They Use?

    Holsters are whole different subject as I never lost one but... Started out in 1980 with a low swivel for comfort and that didn't last long as I went to a high and tight security Tex Schumaker for a 6" .357 Mag. A couple tussles and seeing one separate at the swivel, cured that. Don't have a...

    Back-Up Guns for Cops: What Do They Use?

    Not only did I carry a S&W Snubby on my ankle the other boot held a dagger and I laugh remembering the Sgt seeing it saying, "It isn't that you carry that, it is you willing to use it that bothers me." I was known to always have an extra firearm nearby and anyone that believes back-up weapons...
