Great tale. Congrats on a successful Guide trip. Moose were reintroduced to Colirado a few years back, and I never realized how big they were until a young bull showed up in our back yard I'd taken a couple of big Elk in my hunting years, but wow, this young fella dwarfed the biggest of those...

The Stalin philosophy that soldiers are just expendable Cannon Fodder still exists within the military and government leadership it appears, and applies to their Mech. Cav. not just the Infantry. Adhering to an Ammo Storage Fatal design flaw across multiple generations of MBTS is just flat out...

First, I'm not a 1911 Fan. Before I go further, this is largely due to my personal experience with a Spanish made Clone in the early 80s. The gun was the original Jam-O-Matic. Don't believe I ever shot more than 3 rounds before a misfeed. Couldn't wait to sell it to some other sucker. I will...

One thing I've discovered, is in Low Light, my corrected astigmatism makes the Red Dot no longer crisp and clean, but an oblong fuzzy Oval. So if I want to reach further out in Low Light, I'm going to have to got to a prism and etched reticle and give up on the Red Dot. Maybe keep the RD on my...

My first "look" at the Owen came from Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. He has a video made around 2019 I believe in which he covered the weapon. The Australian Military really did give them the run around, insisting on various ridiculous caliber changes that made no sense whatsoever. Finally...

Nice to hear from someone who actually piloted one of them. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us Dr. Dabbs.

Thank you Short Timer. I have had the pleasure of shooting a couple that friends own. It is much more comfortable to shoot than a bolt action -O6. The operating system does reduce felt recoil considerably. I don't believe the gun was fatally flawed, more than the limits Ordinance demanded were...

🤣🤣🤣

Than you Hans. I admit I've not been following this very closely at all.

Probably several pallets worth. We could ask the same question about Ukraine, as it's been hushed how many, and what type of US Weapon Systems are showing up on the International Black Market. Quite a few had been recently shipped to the Ukraine.

Color options on a gun have never been a selling point for me. I've not fired a Hellcat, as I purchased my P365 a good year+ before the Hellcat was released. I've been happy with the SIG, so changing guns for one more round is a why bother for me (considering I carried a 7 + 1 for nearly 25...

I've watched a video or two of Javelins being fired, and it is a very impressive weapon. The author mentions its effectiveness on T-72s, but have we heard how it fairs against Russia's T-14 Armata MBT yet? I understood Putin had or was going to deploy T-14s

The US Ordinance Department has a long and storied history of quirks and fallabilities. It was US Ordinance that insisted the 1911 have a grip safety. Something John Moses Browning thought was foolish and redundant. USOD also insisted on using up its stock of old WW 1 & 2 Propellant in the new...

Great article. Thank you Mr. Ayoob for sharing your knowledge, experiences and observations with us. I've contemplated making the jump to a Red Dot equipped pistol, but so far have hesitated taking the plunge. I really like them on my AR's especially for close quarter drills, though my main...

I've been reading about Chapman's CQB for LE and Armed Civilians for a number of years now. I sure wish I'd have had to opportunity to take his classes back when I was healthy and whole. Disabilities come with age, and I've come to find my Grandfather was correct when he told me many years ago...

I like my Walther PPQ M2 in .40 S&W. I don't find it too "snappy" in that pistol (full size), but I've not shot but 1 or 2 other mfgs. 40's, so I make no claim of expertise. Almost 2 years back, I looked very seriously at a 1911 platform in 10mm. When I started checking for Ammo availability...

TBH, I totally missed the "Did you like..." until you said something. Thank you, I'll make sure I hit that response too from now on.

Is anyone selling the Merits anymore? Everyplace I've looked they're out of stock and no reply as to when they'll get stock

I've hunted and backpacker in the Colorado mountains for 50+ years. Though you're more likely to encounter Black Bears, there is a growing population of Grizzlies since reintroduction started in the 70's and 80's. Nope to Bear Spray. Too many factors to consider that take too much precious...

A great article Doc. Thank you. I've always been perplexed by Hitler's obsession with the 98K. His insistence that if it was good enough for the Great War soldier, it was good enough for his Blitzkrieg troops, especially considering the many advances Germany took into battle, seems awfully...
