My condolences.

Taylor’s markets a scaled-down Sharps falling-block rifle, labeled the Li’l Betsy, or something like that, chambered .22 Hornet. A bit pricey, in my opinion, but looks like fun.

I am grateful that Passover and Easter were peaceful, this year. The Jewish Passover lasts about a week, so was still in progress when the two major Easters were celebrated.

Prayers for your family.

It is not simply their non-representation of clients that has me concerned. I am thoroughly annoyed that USCCA charged an American Express card, after I specifically told them to clear that card from being a saved payment method, and told them NOT to auto-renew. (I had planned to use a separate type...

I know that the weather app on my iPhone must be spying on me, because it is the only app that I keep always enabled to track my location, in order to receive accurate tornado and lightning warnings. When I drive to an unusual destination, I can expect to soon receive SPAM calls that show to be comi...

Rexster

Good advice. Thanks!

So, I will carry a handgun, for the huntin’, and a shotgun or rifle for the trespassin’ poachers/arsonists.

(Actually, in spite of the winking smiley, there is a serious side to what I just typed.)

I got to see the first dry, powdery, blowing snow of my lifetime, on Tuesday, here in SE Texas. I have seen wet, messy snow plenty enough times. This was a nice change. I do not particularly care for temperatures that get low enough to kill-back our native shrubs/plants, but, being native, they will...

Well, now I know why I suddenly started receiving calls from Allstate agents, wanting to sell me a policy, when I used a spare flip phone, for a day or two, rather than my usual iPhone. The calls came to the flip phone. I am a cautious driver, normally driving within the speed limits, especially in ...

Rexster

I will be paying attention, because I have a 7.5” USFA Single Action, and would like to acquire a Model 27-2 with a 6.5” or 8-3/8” barrel. (It seems that every Model 27 that I have seen, newer than a 27-2, will be “TT” and “TH,” meaning Target Trigger and Target Hammer. I prefer narrower triggers an...

Prayers up!

At 62 I still need a powerful gun on my hip. But I also need a gun that I will always carry. These little five guns work in that role. I no longer go looking for bad guys. They would have to come looking for me. But, you never know when you might be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Darryl Bolk...

I've recently jumped on the 32 H&R mag bandwagon. Six shots in a j frame sized gun and less recoil than hot 38's in an aluminum framed gun. At first I wasn't sold on the 32 H&R, but if at all possible I run from trouble and figure shot placement is still king. I accumulated three .32 H&...

This isn't for everyone, but I get a lot better sleep and less back pain when I sleep in a hammock. No mattress has given me a good night's sleep. My recliner is better, but the hammock is best. No hard spots and it seems the curve is just right. A small pillow under my knees to keep them from hype...

Rexster

I empathize. Went through a big D, myself. Rough time. Still here.

Rexster

Wonderful weapon, Scott, and that holster looks really nice! At age 63, and 6+ years into retirement from the PD, something lighter and more compact than an all-steel, full-duty-sized handgun is a desirable thing, for much daily carry. I trend SP101, more than J-Frame, largely because some design gu...

I had the preceding Security Six and considered it a bank vault of a .357.

The Security Six is, indeed, a wonderful sixgun! The GP100 is not a better-quality revolver, but is less-expensive for Ruger for manufacture, than the double-action Sixes.

Rexster

My favorite individual, specific handgun is my first early-Nineties GP100, 172-series serial number, bought new, soon after it was made. In factory trim, with the original-pattern grip, nothing fits my hand better, and nothing points better. The trigger is in the just-right place, throughout the DA ...

Howdy, from another member who has been absent from the forum, for far too long.

.45 Colt makes sense, in the places I am likely to be walking-about. At age 62, and becoming less fleet of foot, feral dogs are the major four-legged threat, and though the local feral hogs usually run, immediately, a home health care nurse was brutally killed by one or more feral hogs, in Chambers ...

I stopped wanting to shoot .38 Special through light-alloy-frame snub-guns about 20 years ago, in my early forties. The .32 H&R makes plenty of sense, to me, in a J-sized weapon. I happen to have, and like, the all-stainless S&W Model 631. We have hers-and-his 2” Models 631, sourced from the...

My wife and I started our relationship, because of a pre-owned Winchester 94 .30-30 rifle. I was working a security gig at a pawn shop that actually specialized in jewelry, but had an FFL, and would deal in a few firearms. Two sisters walk into the place, with their dad. One of them saw the 94, and ...

Rexster

Amen!

Concealed carry, and social work? I use a Ruger Speed Six, or GP100, for that role. 2.75” and 4” Speed Sixes, and 3” and 4” in the case of the GP100. If smaller is necessary, the SP101 is wonderfully handy. I rarely use revolvers smaller than an SP101. My ultimate comfort gun, as in “comforting, rat...

Rexster

Rexter, Thank you for your service. Care to mention what department? I was in Houston through most of the 1980s. Same PD as you. Central Patrol. I was a skinny, quiet kid, back then, so you may not remember me, but we passed each other in the hallway a few times, and I would see you around the gym ...

Rexster

It warms the heart to see such wonderful, older, well-preserved, well-cared-for sixguns being carried.

Rexster

I have not visited here for a while, but this iPad remembered my password, so I reckon that it has not been all that long. Good to see you posting, Hobie.

As for FB, I was suspicious of that little Zucker’s business model from from the beginning, so never signed onto that little enterprise.

Rexster

My condolences. Prayers for your family.

Rexster

Prayers, for y’all.

Long-stroke DA is my least-perishable handgun triggering skill, which mattered all the more when trigger time became rare, as we needed to stay relatively isolated from folks, due to my wife’s increased vulnerability to COVID-19. Plus, my formerly-stronger right hand was starting to get really gimpy...

My condolences to his family and friends. Prayers for all concerned.

I am saddened, to read this. My condolences. Prayers will continue.

I find this one to be quite interesting. Thanks for posting.

Prayers for healing.

Two former Alessi employees/apprentices, with the surnames of Ritchie and Ralston, seem to be doing quality work. Mr. Ralston, IIRC, does business as 5Shot Leather, or something like that. I have not personally seen or handled one of these. One of my ankle rigs, used on duty for a while, was a Ritch...

Prayers, for healing.

My ideal choice can differ a bit from the practical choice. Small and light-weight can be nice for concealment, but my aging right thumb, hand, and wrist cannot tolerate much muzzle flip, and how much is “much” has been changing as I age. Plus, there is much to be said for a weapon that will nicely ...

Rexster

Oh, to be 45 again! At 45, folks still thought I looked to be about 35. Then, at age 47, things started falling apart, and at age 55, someone in his mid-sixties guessed my age to be 65. That hurt! Advice? Well, I wish I had not fired so many big-bore Magnums, from large-frame sixguns, too big for my...

Rexster

Thanks for testing, and sharing your results. I bought a pre-owned 21” vent-rib barrel for my Benelli M2, and will be seeing how it compares with the 18.5” “tactical” barrel with iron sights, with some new loads, so it is choke-shopping time. I had actually bought my M2 pre-owned, after it had long ...

There is something so very “perfect” about the Ruger No. 1, in my opinion. Not only is the rifle, itself, is a thing of beauty, the No. 1 stock fits me superbly. Being left-eye-dominant, I love the way a No. 1 is beautifully ambidextrous. I will admit that the iconic photo of Frederick Courtenay Sel...

Rexster

Congratulations! That is one beautiful rifle!

Rexster

My condolences.

Safe and wonderful Christmas wishes, for all.

At the moment, I am using what I think is a JM Custom Kydex OWB, but the OP specified “leather,” so that would be a Josh Bulman Forward Drop Scabbard or Milt Sparks VM II, depending upon the trousers and the environment. I have other nice leather holsters, including a Davis Taylor Omega, but my thre...

A nearly-five-month-old, red-colored Rat Terrier keeps me from sleeping-in. Best alarm clock, at least until she gets a bit older, and may want to sleep-in, too. She came from a farm in Brazoria County; my goal being an alert traveling companion.

Rexster

I am joining in the prayer effort; just saw this.

Rexster

Griff, I have not logged into here, in so long I cannot remember the last time, but now I see that there was a reason I felt an urge to check in. I have now joined the prayer effort, for healing and support for your whole family.

JWH and Frank Hamer come to mind, first, at least to my mind.
