But if we had kept all the cool cars, guns and motorcycles we sold when we were young and foolish, we would not have been able to spend the proceeds on MORE cool cars, guns and motorcycles. So by selling stuff, I was actually buying regrets. Regrets for the stuff I sold the first time, then...

I have deep and lasting regret for every single S&W revolver I ever sold. I feel your pain. The Model 27 was always a bit big for me to carry since it was an N frame, but man, you get that big cylinder rolling when it was shooting .38 Special loads and the inertia made it sound like burp gun fire!

My mother taught me not to say anything if I don't have something nice to say. Taurus? Well, when I worked in a gun shop I helped more customers use their lifetime warranty on new guns more any any other manufacturer. With the Kuna available, I fail to understand why someone would choose this.

To tell the truth, I don't know. I am going to say the late 60's, maybe early 70's; the diamond grips were a pre-68 thing I believe. It came with the oversize "target grips" which look nice but are terrible for shooting...they get wider as your fingers get shorter! I got these out of my parts...

It sure does seem like after a lifetime of paying taxes, seniors, when they FINALLY pay the house off it should be theirs. Charging taxes on the land they bought with the mortgage? Basically, that is paying lot rent forever like you own the mobile home but not the ground. When the mortgage is...

I have to admit, my heart belongs to blue steel and walnut. I just wish this had a round butt. So much easier to hide. But I do like the square butt on the range. So I will keep them both, the 66 to carry and the 19 to shoot to see who buys lunch. With .38 158 grain regular loads it is a real...

The Smith and Wesson K frame is one of the all time greats. As long as you use it as intended. Back when the .38 Special round of choice for Police Departments all over America, line cops were complaining about the effectiveness of the typical 158 grain lead round nose bullets. The 200 grain...

If overseas, all your remaining ammo and good knives are always appreciated in addition to money. Do that for sure.

This seems like cheap insurance on the once in a lifetime Elk hunt you finally got drawn for. Seems like the average age on this forum is "Experienced" and having concrete comms in the back country makes this a must have. Medical emergency, lost, you name it. Out of cell service is common, but...

Agree. Carry the gun you have the most confidence in. That means if you shoot a 1911 in IDPA but carry a Five Shot Snubby, there is a disconnect. If you are only going to carry the snubby, shoot it in IDPA or however you train. Most guys do not shoot a J-Frame much, but it is the one they carry...

Awesome! Anything you can take the doors off of I am all for. My current favorite toy. Not quite an airplane, but as close as I will get.

I remember reading (and laughing) about the Skylark. Every kid should have a convertible growing up.

I am in Missouri, but the other side of the State!

I have always enjoyed your work, I think because you grew up parallel to me but in a different state. I hope you never outgrew your love of convertibles. The 80's were a great time to grow up with fun cars available to anyone that worked hard. If you make it up to the Bianchi Cup held at my...

Like people who would buy a 10 pound chocolate bunny would have a mallet. Only working folks have tools, and working folks don't waste money on 10 pound chocolate bunnies!

Greyfox, I am too lazy to do it, but step one would be to check how many politicians have died of cancer....

Stainless is slicker. Why not add wax to make it super slicker? That is one of the old timer tricks that does not cost much money (because you already had paste wax for your car...right?) but it might give you an edge. I personally am all about the edge. I want to always cut enough corners to...

It is a shame I am doomed to never grow up. Because if I was ever going to grow up, I would want to be Will Dabbs, MD.

Belt Fed if it is being sold on eBay it is probably a fake on top of all that. I used to give classes to the people that worked in returns. It is amazing how many people would buy an optic and try to return a counterfeit product. If I am not buying from a dealer, I have to inspect it myself...
