Dang…I was confusing Rumble with a tinder!!!

He many know about the battles of WW1? Or the Civil War?

Only until the election. Can’t make Kamala look bad.

Went to Artillery School at Ft. Sill in 1969. In our class was aBolivian Army Captain who had led to the capture of Che. He didn’t speak English, but the school was a reward for a job well done.

My take on the .40 is that it has a larger frontal surface than a 9. Plus more penetration than a .45. I have pistols in all 3calibers, just prefer what I prefer. When in LE, carried .38s and a Smith 5904, so experience with the .40 & .45 on dangerous game, 2 legged or 4.

Thanks for reminding me as to why I left there in 2001 and have never looked back.

I prefer .40, and would like to see this pistol in that caliber (fat chance of that, I know), or in .45 or 10mm. I have enough 9mm as is. The quality and price are certainly right. For me, just the caliber. I was going to say .30 Super Carry, but don’t like the bonfires in my front yard!

Hey, hey!!! She can buy it for me…poor little me, who really could use one…please!

True…but the things piled up in the basement SURE help make it easier. Besides my Lazy Boy isn’t in the basement!😵‍💫

I turn 80 in a few months and am about as flexible as a 2x4. Against someone 300 meters away and me with a handgun, I’ll move as best I can. Against a handgun er in range, I think a stationary pose, steadying my aim, would work best.

Gotta wonder about trading ammo to someone who might use that same ammo on you. I know…paranoid thinking and all, but…

In 1969 we fired the stock M-14 at 500 meters for qualification in the Corps. I fired Expert with a little luck. Two weeks of firing prior to qual. Later I was the Range Officer at USMCAS Yuma and with the M-16, qual was at 300 meters.

Good series…but I wish someone would do a decision the medium bombers, I.e. the B-26, A-26, A-20 and B-25 crews. My father had a friend who was a bombardier on a B-26 in the ETO.

Sorry about your father at 80 I understand how that can happen. I have used a single stage press for over 40 years, don’t like turret/progressives. All you need are a powder scale and measure; dies, priming tool, powder, primers, powder, bullets and your press. Slow and easy does it.

Trained on the A2 at Sill in 68, prior to heading to the 11th Marines in the Nam. Then went to a 105 battery

Martha Stewart just said basically the same thing. Snoop must have gotten into her head, no pun intended.

Getting all hyped up! Si-Fi channel has a couple of Purge movies I have not seen, anarchy and Forever. Binge time and reminds me to check on the stash of ammo and guns. But damn, I need more,more, more, you hear!

BellaD…what you might want to consider is a “Bullitt” upside down holster. J frame hangs from rig and no tie down. Carry one on and off for decades. Comfortable and well hidden.

I would assume that only a small percentage of factory cases are reloaded, so that there is no incentive to produce brass for their own loaded rounds, which is any thicker than necessary. Star line brass is used for reloading, so is thicker. Just an idea. Attached a pic of my dies…think I am...

Got ya…only served 23 years before injured/retired. I tend to be a bit touchy, I guess. Thank you for your service. I may have been retired for over 30 years but sure remember working the streets.
