The British bikes were great fun on back roads around Missouri, but sometimes a fella has to tour out of State. The reliability and smooth powerplant of the Japanese bikes were hard to pass up. The Interceptor was a fantastic sport touring bike. By knocking off some of the hard edges of a pure...

I was the only Triumph rider I saw at Aspencade! I bought my first house brand new when I was 22. Had a bed and a desk, so when the people at my office wanted to throw a housewarming party, I moved the motorcycles into the living room so they would have a place to sit. Ah, the bachelor life!

Not my cuppa as Simon sez, but that is because I have not shot in a competition in decades. This has too many features for a carry gun. (for me at least) I am too old to unlearn the Harries Technique, so no light rails for me. No ambi safety as I am not a lefty and an ambi gets swept off too...

They seem "chunky" because they are heavy for their size. But comparing the width with a 1911 shows it is as easy to hide inside the waistband as the 1911. I have never had a jam or misfire with mine of any sort and would carry it again today without hesitation.

I am uneasy about it because a group of people agree it is worth something so suddenly it is worth something. Seems to me they could change their mind and start backing something else and my investment dies off. At least investing in a company they have assets...building, inventory, accounts...

Loved the British bikes, and without adult supervision they really have a habit of multiplying. Yes, that is a 1962 Corvette in the garage as well. Good time to be Eric!

Thirty accident free years on two wheels. Even though I consider myself a car guy, there was a time in my life when I owned multiple motorcycles, but nothing with four wheels. Got married fourteen years ago, was riding less and less because my wife was not going to get on the back for love nor...

The 4516 was on my hip for a while back in the day. I eventually went back to the 1911 but it was just because I shoot that platform better than any other semi automatic. Actually liked the safety aspect of the double action 4516. With a Milt Sparks holster inside the waistband, it was not any...

The Left would like nothing better than for the NRA to fold up their tent. The NRA is weeding out the folks that abused the system. They remain the ONLY gun rights organization that is feared by politicians. We can't let them lose that position while they get their act together. Stop the money...

I have had several Springfields. The Mil Spec is my entry level recommendation...good sights, decent trigger, excellent construction and reliability. I carried one in the 90's for several years and a lot of miles. I would ride the river with it again today.

I do love my old wreck of a 97 as I affectionately call my riot gun. When I get into a slump on the sporting clays field I can always count on my 97 to snap me out of it, even though I am teased by the over and under crowd.

At least I have not had to resort to a bad combover! The calling card of the man still trapped in the Disco Days.

SL66, I would like to clear up the board myth! Those were cigar box pictures that I spread out on the table for a picture. I do not have a trophy board in my house. Although we have a "don't ask" policy concerning my relationships, Mrs. Winchester 67 would not stand for that! The cigar boxes are...

Buddy of mine works security for the Vanderbilt Family. He always wears gold chains which are ready money anywhere in the world. I can't go that route...bad enough I drive the Corvette around, add gold chains and I will look like a jail bird that went in back during the Disco 70's and just got...

I put these grips on because it conceals much easier with these in a Galco inside the waistband rig. But I would like to dispel any Superman myths right here: .44 Special loads only when carrying this one. Bigger grips for open carry when hunting!

I am first to admit this is generally a .44 Special in my use of it. But it is crazy light and can handle full house loads if you are wandering around in bear country. It is very difficult to control with 270 Grain Gold Dot soft points but it hits hard and accurately. Afraid the window of me...

Thanks! That is the great thing about the .44 Special...the recoil pulse is milder. Like Anchorite said, some guns or cartridges (or combinations of both) have a recoil pulse that are downright punishing. But the .44 Special being a low pressure cartridge spreads out the recoil punch over a...

So I complain about bigger grips and belt carry of the J Frame, saying that if you are going to do that at least go to a K Frame snubby. Or a three inch J frame for the better sights at the absolute least. But I have to confess, I don't follow that advice very often. If it is a pocket carry day...

Agreed Negolien. If any of the big boys like Brownells or MidwayUSA have a problem it is aired on all of the gun forums.

Worked fine for me in December and just this week with another order. They have a pickup service which is nice because I live in Columbia too. I like the fact they are family owned despite being as big as they are. Larry and Brenda Potterfield started it back in the day and they both still work...
