Having one of the short shotguns like the Shockwave and your EDC gun will suffice in most cases. An AR pistol will give you more rounds and distance. Neither is wrong, just different tools. Remember, you're also driving a 3000lb battering ram, so that long skinny pedal on the right is your best frie...

We made it to Spicewood,TX for my FILs 80th birthday parry tomorrow. Wish I had time to see some of the folks here, but I'd like to at least visit a couple of gunshops and museums before we leave Tueaday. I haven't been here since Leslie and I were dating in the early '90s when I was stationed at Ft...

I don't mean to offend or upset anyone, but the whole 'lost my guns in a boating accident, hehehe' thing has run its course. Some might think it's cute, but we should be talking proudly about firearms ownership, not how we 'accidentally' lost them.

Steve in MO

Heck, now I feel obligated to break my old Victory .38 just to assuage everyone's disappointment. I"ve had a couple of 'dillos come through the yard, so the targets are available.

I'd probably go with the 454. I'd pair it with a revolver in the same caliber, so I could use a couple of different bullet molds and keep them running. Along with the obligatory 12 gauge loaded with slugs or buckshot and a .22 rifle, I'd think all bases would be covered. However, I say all this as a...

Remember reading that story years ago, Jim. Still as good now!

Steve in MO

Couldn't agree more, Scott. About 15 years ago we were living in Washington State and we were traveling down a back road outside of Olympia. We came upon this small gun shop and decided to stop. They had eight pound canisters of all the powders I use, something I couldn't find at any of the shops I ...

If there is ever a marketing class on 'how not to deal with controversy,' Bud Light and SIG should serve as perfect examples. SIG has done a horrible job of getting out in front of whatever issue is going on with the 320 series, perceived or not. I use Glocks a lot simply because most of my students...

Brian did a great job on that. You could tell everything he talked about was heartfelt, and that John meant so much to him.

Great picture, Bill. I had family in Medford growing up, don't know if any of them are still there, though.

Looks like something my Aussiedoodle would do! Lol

Great story, Paul!

Seeing how popular the .30-30 was during the Mexican Revolution, something like this would've come in handy. Probably would be popular on the border today, depending on what you were expecting to run into.

Steve in MO

Nice! I need something like that here.

We just returned from St. Louis yesterday where we've been since Sunday. My granddaughter had to have her 6th hip surgery at Shriners hospital. Like before, she received excellent care and the staff there went above and beyond to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. I can't say enough about...

Steve in MO

Sorry I missed your birthday JIm, we were in St. Louis at Shriners for my granddaughters surgery. Glad you had a great day!

Just killed a 3 foot copperhead down my driveway where my daughter and grandson take their walk every day. They were picking flowers and my daughter was reaching to pick one when she spotted it in the grass. She came and got me. A couple rounds of .38 shot shells took care of that. Just some fair wa...

My favorite auto to carry these days is my Novak custom Lightweight Commander .45. But, I carry a revolver more often than not.

When I was teaching all the time, we would sometimes do vehicle shoots to test various types and calibers of ammo. The results were pretty fascinating. Good times!

An old friend of mine wore the Decot shooting glasses as his everyday glasses. If you weren't a shooter, you'd never notice the difference between those and ordinary glasses.

I've shot lots of PMC in other calibers, and I have a box or two of their .44 Magnum 250gr TCSP that I kept in my .44 Wrangler when I lived out West and went to the woods. PMC makes quality ammo, but I agree, a 240gr JHP from a 3" barrel probably isn't going to expand much. But, it's a nice, he...

I bought one of the original Hanned tools years ago, and still use it today. A few years after I got it, I had a gunsmith friend of mine make one for the .22 Magnum. That works like a champ! I haven't used it as much as the one for .22LR, I guess I need to get after that.

Anything from Simply Rugged is good to go, and I've used Galco shoulder rigs for a long time, too. Sometimes my sciatica won't tolerate anything very heavy on my right hip, so I'll put my Lightweight Commander in the Galco Miami Classic. Depending on the time of year I'll wear a fleece vest to keep ...

No more Oregon for me, Vall. The Libs have destroyed it. Grant County, New Mexico. I grew up in Beaverton, Bill. Same house for 18 years. Back then, we had some of the best gun laws around, and I thought I'd retire there after the Army. Now, you couldn't pay me to live back there. Idaho or Utah is ...

I've got a partial box of those left. Wish Speer would bring them back.

I just tried to get on darkcanyon.net to check out a couple of articles, and it looks like it's no more. A shame if true, it was the best repository of Skeeter Skelton articles around.

When I was transferred to Ft. Lewis, I made do with a Lee Hand Press until my wife arrived with our household goods. I used the pantry to hold my powder measure and scale, and dies were in the kitchen drawer. We do what we have to do, don't we?

Steve in MO

Looks great, Jim. A lot better than we've got in SW Missouri right now. 80 degrees yesterday, windy as all get out and possible snow tonight.

Steve in MO

My wife is a team lead/scheduler for one of the big hospital systems here and the numbers of people calling in about the flu is incredibly high. Take care of yourselves, guys.

Great find, congratulations!

Condolences, brother.

Another of the great ones. Unfortunately I never got to meet him in person, but luckily did get to correspond with him a few times. RIP John.

Prayers sent for John, Dot and their family. I know it comes to all of us, but it's still sad to hear.

Jeep -- frankly, if we all raised a few chickens and grew victory gardens again, a lot more things WOULD be right with the world. And yes, Steve, the chicken coop does take some work and not all of it pleasant. Then there are the raccoons, foxes, tunneling rats, snakes and raptors to defend against...

Steve in MO

Except for a couple of years, we've had chickens since we came to Missouri. We bought a wooden shed to use as a coop for our girls, and it has worked really well, especially with the winter we've had so far. I just ordered another 15 from Cackle Hatchery in Lebanon, MO, but they won't be ready to pi...

Scott, how do you like that ladder sight? I'm thinking long and hard about putting one on my full size 94.

As I've gotten older my pre-'64 Model 94 has traveled with me more than any of my ARs. It'll do anything I need it to. I put a seven round butt cuff on it for a full reload and a small light mount from Skinner Sights for when I have to step outside at night. The bears in Missouri are further north o...

Now you've got me thinking about diving into the .30-30 AI pool. That Cimarron 1894 would be a good candidate.

We broke a record last night temperature wise, feels like temps got down to -20. We also had a first for us: our pipes froze! I put a heater under the house and it finally thawed out around 1pm. I realized that you really don't need one of those big forced air heaters, until you do. I'll be picking ...

Times sure were different then. A lot has changed, much of it not for the better.

Fabulous sixgun, and a great day!

Steve in MO

Great pictures, Paul!

Feels like temps here this morning are -15. Supposed to get up up to 13 today. Between the snow and the cold the chickens don't even want to come out of the coop. Gonna stay inside and make empty cases full again.
