    Sig Sues Springfield over Hellcat

    When I first saw the P365 magazine design, I thought it was only innovative in the fact that the design was more exaggerated than other designs. Frankly, I was not overly impressed. I saw it as a natural progression of current designs. Many magazines, high capacity or not, feed from a staggered...

    Texas Does It Again!

    A fellow on YouTube that I regularly watch always says, "Don't do stupid stuff with stupid people in stupid places at stupid times." Its funny how violation of even one of the "stupid rules" dramatically increases the chances of getting into a conflict. If you violate two of the "stupid rules"...

    Racking the Slide and Loading the Pistol: Efficiency Tips

    No, I am decidedly for loaded chamber carry. Loading the chamber is just another complex step in bringing the weapon to bear. Complex manipulations are best avoided during high stress environments. It has been shown, repeatedly, folks under the high stress environment of being assaulted, loose...

    Should I Appendix Carry?

    I have ordered the Colt's Anaconda with the 8 1/2 inch barrel. The shoulder holster you describe is just about what I had in mind. It is all in fun, at least large bore revolvers and Government Models and TC Contenders...

    Should I Appendix Carry?

    I think that used to be called "cross draw". For a right-handed shooter, this is actually a solution for those who spend much time seated behind the driver's wheel. Also, a muzzle down shoulder holster worn on the left side works quite well. I say this because an American seat belt for the...

    Cartridge of the Week

    Fun DOES make sense! I must admit a long distance dreaming about 480s in the night.

    Racking the Slide and Loading the Pistol: Efficiency Tips

    May I add, the way most semi-autos function best is to drop the slide on a loaded magazine using the slide release. That way battery is insured and short stroking the slide is avoided. In many self defense videos I have seen, the shooter tries to load the chamber by racking the slide and in his...

    Should I Appendix Carry?

    Let me count the ways in which I can unwittingly perforate myself... I would add to Gruber's comment, The only way I would carry appendix style is with an unloaded firearm. But then, I am notoriously fond of all of my soft bits and hydraulic fluid. There are other, much safer methods of...

    Cartridge of the Week

    If I feel under-gunned with a 300 grain 44 Magnum, I carry my rifle. The Casull is a nice exercise in engineering. My understanding is the 480 Ruger throws a goodly projectile but is not nearly so harsh on the old, tired joints. That said, I have rifles for the truly scary stuff.

    Texas Does It Again!

    Si', no habla nada, Dude. This kinda brings me to the “gun violence” issue. In virtually every city and state where “gun violence” is a problem (You know, its hard keeping all those guns in their cages so they don’t run out, get drunk and shoot somebody) the issue of keeping criminals in jail...

    Texas Does It Again!

    I hate to burst that bubble but, a PERFECT example of the government botching the drivers license issue is where I live. A license is required by state law to operate a motor vehicle (they also sign up every yahoo to vote without proof of citizenship) yet every year we see in the news that...

    Texas Does It Again!

    I like your idea in principal; however, these cards are always tied to your drivers' license. Governments, being what they are, find it impossible to not track and record individuals' behaviors for future reference. I would much prefer firearms safety courses be given to EVERYONE in Junior and...

    I should have a shirt made that says, "I was born in Texas and I should have never left!"

    Waterproof Shotgun Shells

    Perhaps he did but I don't remember. He was; however, mentioning some other brand that is already waterproofed. Perhaps this was just a slick commercial for the morons in the crowd (i.e. me)?

    Texas Does It Again!

    https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2021/05/07/texas-verge-becoming-21st-constitutional-carry-state/ There was once a time where if a person was caught carrying a handgun under cover, he was thought immediately to be up to no good because only the Bad Guys did that. As the times changed...

    Waterproof Shotgun Shells

    I saw a YouTube video the other day that surprised me. The fellow said that when dunked in water, his 12 gauge shotgun shells (including slugs) failed to fire. How does the Average Joe or Jane waterproof shot shells without having a nuclear engineering degree? I love my 870 and consider it a...

    Show off your Every Day Carry!

    Of course there's a right and left. If you use your left hand to add the adult spirits, its a left-handed screwdriver (visa versa for righties). The same applies for which hemisphere you live in. Its easier to mix clockwise in the northern hemisphere (i.e. right-handed). If you pour with the...
