    Questioning the Effectiveness of the .380 Auto Cartridge

    Those who are squeamish will not want to read the following. I know the 9mm Kurz and Parabellum are favorites of the gang community. The Kurz is so popular because of its easy concealability in tiny platforms. I believe it seems as effective as it is because it gets used so often in point...

    Do you have a favorite handgun that you like better than the one you carry?

    Should I ever actually acquire the Colt Anaconda I have on order, I am wondering if I can hire a teenager to carry it for me through my daily life. Oh yes, I'll still carry my XD-s but it's the same idea as being on safari and having a gun bearer carry the Big Gun. Sadly, I do not think I could...

    Show off your 1911

    This would have been my next 1911 but I got sidetracked...as usual. I just couldn't rationalize a third 1911 to my Chief Financial Officer. (She woulda shot me with her 357.)

    Do you have a favorite handgun that you like better than the one you carry?

    I carried the Bulldog Pug for about ten years. I think it was you who suggested I try some lighter projectiles as all I had ever fired were the 210s...and I couldn't hit the broad side of a red painted barn at 15 yards. That is a project I will pursue eventually. (playing with new powders for...

    Do you have a favorite handgun that you like better than the one you carry?

    I like my Colt's Government Model Series 70 and both of my Ruger Marks. I carry my XD-S, forty-five with the Crimson Trace Laser Guard. I carried that Colt for years but let's face it. It just too heavy for comfortable concealed carry.

    Best and worst gun or accessory

    I once bought a plastic brass catcher for the 1911. You know, I don't remember what happened to that! I also bought an original Lee Loader for the 44 Magnum. That lasted for one session before I put it in permanent storage. That was when I ordered my Dillon RL550 (now a "C" model). That was...

    In light of the new awareness

    I have never understood why amber/black beverages have never shown up on my doctor's list of medications?

    In light of the new awareness

    I was going through the SA website and found the link. I come back because this is the only place I can pass gas and commentary without getting smacked by wife...most of the time. Good folks and good commentary, I say!

    Hottest food you've ever eaten

    One day my wife and I stopped into a Tai restaurant in Seattle. It was the first time for me. My wife had warned me to "be careful" because it was supposedly "spicy" and when I finished looking at the menu, thinking I was being conservative, I ordered a dish labelled "Country Style". Hey, I AM...

    The Miculek Magnetic Buffer System for AR-15 Rifles

    Ooo! A quiet buffer system without springs! I want one for my AR carbine.

    Can we trust the Experts?

    OK, here we go...again. Of late there are many news reporting leading stories and printed column inches devoted to the “resurgence” of the Covid 19 virus. They breathlessly recite the deadliness, the widespread sorrow and never-ending tragedy associated with the new variant. Headlines are...

    Some Things Never Change: What the Second Amendment Says and What it Actually Means

    While Martin Luther printed/translated the first Bible intended for widespread reading by the common folk (German), his work was based on the Catholic version of scripture. The King James version was not only the first English translation meant for the average Joe and Jane but was based on a...

    Some Things Never Change: What the Second Amendment Says and What it Actually Means

    I appreciate your position; however, the scholars that were collected to review thirds of the scripture over a period of almost a decade were assigned the job of making a translation, retaining the closest meaning and spirit of the Word, into English. Not my description but what is written in...

    Some Things Never Change: What the Second Amendment Says and What it Actually Means

    I once read somewhere, before I actually read it the first time, the Bible is not supposed to be cryptic or have meanings the average reader can't understand. It is plain language for everyone to understand. After I completed my first read (with a good dictionary) I agreed wholeheartedly with...

    Effective Range of Pistols, Rifles, & Shotguns

    The old standard of being able to keep all of one’s shots on a paper plate at X yards distance with your hunting weapon of choice is good but doesn’t tell the whole story. Just because one can reliably make those hits doesn’t mean your projectile will do its job adequately. It is all the rage...

    Can I Drop a 1911 Slide on an Empty Chamber?

    Told ya so! If it is possible to do, someone will do it! I was kinda thinking about going into the sign printing business at one time. They would have all said the same thing, just in different formats and different length poles.

    Can I Drop a 1911 Slide on an Empty Chamber?

    Yes, I was referring to someone placing a live round into the chamber and then pressing the slide release and allowing the slide to fly home under its own power. Then inserting a loaded magazine. It has been my experience that just because something sounds stupid, implausible, or may be...
