The single action sixgun is my favorite carry gun. When we lived in Arizona I carried my 7 1/2" Ruger .45 Colt a lot as well as my 7 1/2" 454 Freedom Arms. My favorite carry gun was my 4 3/4" .45 Colt. It rode well when in the saddle. These days I carry the old model flattop .357 qui...

Well the USPS is at it again. Package from Massachusetts arrived in Los Angeles as scheduled. A scant 20 miles away. It is now in Albuquerque. It's obvious from just the comment on this one forum that the accuracy of the USPS leaves much to be desired.

I heard an interesting take on marriage and monogamy. Simply put, marriage is an institution of women, by women and for women. From a reproductive standpoint marriage isn't necessary. Marriage simply provides security for women. Whether that be in the form of a living space, food or safety from pred...

I've also heard that desperation is the father. Probably because desperation usually doesn't last as long as necessity.

Anything is possible. If you aren't adverse to it A good smith could attach a mount to the side plate. This would require D&T. I did see one mount on a pre angle eject 94 that sat a bit higher than usual the bottom was designed to deflect the brass out to the side. This still used a side mount, ...

The only exception to not storing a handgun in a holster is when the holster is new. I recently bought a Simply Rugged Cuda for my AMT .45 Backup. The pistol has been in the holster for about a week. But I work with it, drawing and holstering, for an hour or so a day. It's just about "broke in&...

I have three sisters. The oldest is a brunette, the middle is a red head and my youngest is a blonde. The brunette is very smart. The red head is diabolical. The blonde is a bubbly, vivacious, pixie. Folks tend to think she's a "typical" blonde. Actually she is the smartest of the bunch an...

I catch flak around here because I frequently change my carry gun. I'm quite happy to carry single action and double action revolvers, and all manner of semi autos. Heck, today I carried two .38 spl snubbies. One left handed and the other right handed. Other than the fact that the two together weigh...

I have a yahoo email account I use for junk. Today if I open it my antivirus goes crazy blocking attacks from a long URL that starts 2 cows. Not sure if it was here or another site I will also notify, but it seems there is or was a member 2Cows. He could have been hacked. Just a friendly warning.

Meanwhile I had to crawl under my for and replace a leaky gasoline fill line on my Ford. Absolutely terrible what with all the sunshine getting in my eyes. And of course the concrete was a frigid 70 or so degrees.

I don't have a bucket list. Financially we are very secure. There are no needs unmet. If I had to say there was something I want that I know is, while not unobtainable, not really a wise purchase.

Oh brother they have my grail gun. Webley Fosbery. And in great shape. Only $17,000. To think I passed on one years ago for $7000 (kids have to eat first).

I live in an urban area. But it's a port town. I go to a Catholic church. The parishioners are a mix of liberal, conservative, unionists, business owners and so on.

Interesting comments on the corrosivity of Pyrodex. I suppose if I lived a 170 years ago and didn't have an easy means of cleaning BP firearms it would be a concern. But since I clean mine after each use it simply isn't an issue. My preferred method of cleaning BP revolvers is to break them down, pu...

I'll second that. Pretty much the same color as my Jeep.

I like Pyrodex, but have to admit I only use the pellets. Being lazy I like the pellets, especially in revolvers. They don't make pellets for anything smaller than 44/45 caliber. Never understood that, there are lots of .31 & .36 shooters out there, not to mention .32 rifles.

The Li Ion packs are more powerful than the NiCd, but keep them dry or they want to imitate a bomb. Lithium ion batteries can get wet. Heck, you can drowned the darned things. They only become a problem when you spray water on them "while" they are burning. In that case it actually uses t...

jeepnik

I have to confess, the reason I need a new jump pack is all my fault. I don't drive my '78 Ford that much, and I usually keep a battery maintainer on it. But, I took it off to use on my Jeep. So battery went low and I went to use the pack. It was flat and wouldn't charge. Then again, if I hadn't nee...

Even with a slight marine layer, last nights SpaceX launch was quite spectacular.

Apples and oranges. Shoot the .45 acp out of a 16" barrel and hit the tires at the same point and angle.

I really like the way bullets cause tires to explode with a great deal of flame. Perhaps the bullet hits the rim on the way in and the tire is filled with hydrogen to make it lighter. Or, bullets sparking when it hits wood and such.

I prefer adjustable sights because they are generally easier for me to see. As to needing the adjustability, I pretty much find a load that does what I want, and stick with it. I am not someone who makes up different loads just for stuff and giggles. So once I settle on a load and adjust the sights ...

Just wondering if there were any other sky watchers among the group. Just watched the ISS go over. Quite bright and watched it from over the Pacific Ocean to the Four Corners.

I'm also in a great position to watch a lot of the Vandenberg launches.

I feel like a slacker. I only load the 45-70, 30-30 and 30-06. Although I have loaded some 30-03 for a friend a few times. The 30-03 is pretty hard to find. Harder to find are rifles like his, an unmodified 1903 Springfield.

My first deer was taken with a .243. It's a family rifle and now in the hands of my nephew for his kids to use. Very capable cartridge, less recoil than a .270 and you already have a .270.

Bill did he fly the Piper L-4 or the Stinson L-5? Those guys saved a lot of wounded guys lives. They set the stage for air evac during Korea and Viet Nam. They could only get out one at a time, but they made sortie after sortie, often into enemy held territory. They landed at hand cleared "stri...
