    Detecting a Tail and What to Do Next

    Report it as road rage. “I must have done something to enrage this person who is clearly following me, I’m scared for my life”. It might be the honest truth, crazy is everywhere.

    The Byrna "Banana"

    It looks like a good way to get a serious beat down.

    What would YOU have done?

    Me? Go downtown and file a report, explain your concerns. Yours might not be the straw but it might be the one that does break the camels back. My white bread neighborhood has had two drug dealers arrested in the past 6-8 years the last being 5 months ago. Same story, far too many friends...

    The SIg Controversy

    I’m of the opinion that were it a flaw the number of unintended discharges would off the charts. It’s of no concern to me, I have that sort of weapon covered and it gets no use.

    Your very first loan...What was it for?

    Student loan, in the words of Dorothy “what would you do with a brain if you had one?”. Turns out I’d drive a truck.

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    This came home. I ordered a pair, but talked my buddy into adopting the twin sister. Cleaned its MK III cousin complete with a solid 10 minute struggle to reassemble. This was to familiarize myself with why I detested using it as a suppressor host. The new MKIV 22/45 was stripped rinsed oiled...

    .41 Special loads

    Let us know where you settle out. I’ve got a good Unique load, but I’ve about taken the cure due to spotty availability for what seems a decade now.

    Bye Bye Springfield Armory?

    Granted I left about 30 years ago, but it was always my opinion I-64 was a more appropriate delineation of damn yankee incursions, I could agree to I-70 even. I-80 is a stretch they don’t even know what grits are, let alone eat them. 😂😂

    Anyone gone back to steel?

    Sorta an aluminum guy. But, I’ve been dallying with polymer and I’m okay with that, striker fire however I simply can’t get the appeal.

    Enduro racing

    Worked a couple races long ago. Made me lust over a Husky pretty badly. Unfortunately I had to eat back then and pay college tuition. Both seamed important at the time. 🤷

    Haha! I've always said that EVs just, ummm...suck.

    what is it the kids are saying? “Tell me you don’t need a car without saying you don’t need a car”. As a second vehicle I believe you can make it work, for most households. I just can’t see paying the bills on what amounts to a green talisman.

    Oldest Self Defense Gun You Would Still Carry?

    I have a P-239 SIG I routinely carry. I don’t think of it as old though, I have a hard time thinking of myself as old.

    JB Bore Paste

    I’ve used the stuff for years, as needed. It doesn’t scare me in the least, saves time on stubborn copper and carbon deposits. Last time I went to work with it was polishing up the rails on a new stainless 1911. Mixed it into some oil dabbed it into the rails reassembled and worked that thing...

    Nice belt ya got there

    That pic was taken when I got that rig. Left my hard on leather job 30 years ago, decided rolling around on the ground was not for me after all.

    Nice belt ya got there

    3 beltman belts, black tooled, plain black (18 years old), and a tooled natural color. 1 from Nixon leather that matches a couple holsters made with Camel hide.

    Truck tires

    I’ve been running Falken Wildpeaks for the past 60k E load range on an F150. The Toyo you referenced was just enough more $ to make the decision. 42psi and they still look perfect, wearing evenly. I expect to get 10k more miles out of these.

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    Hella sale on Ruger MK4 today, included a Prairie Tactical can as well. Picked up a matching pair. After the turmoil I’ll return and get the paperwork completed. Wasn’t sure I needed one but left with two, how does this happen?

    I take the opportunity to re familiarize myself with this stupid watch of mine.

    Self-Defense While Hunting: What Handgun Should You Carry?

    For my purposes it’s been a Ruger SP-101 chambered in .327 Fed. I keep a few .32 longs available for grouse/bunnies. It’s light enough I’ll take it with me. If I’m elbows deep in an animal a pistol on my hip might be nice if a lion or wolf showed up. When honest about this the 32 longs are...

    .327 Federal Magnum Ammo from Federal and Speer

    I’ve been shooting one for years, SP-101, and later a Single Seven. As the man said it’s bonafide 😉. Unfortunately I believe it is best suited to a reloader. Alternatively you must keep your eyes open and be ready to buy online in bulk when it comes out. Seems they make a run once a year.
