    Roll of quarters / movie quote

    Hah! Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. Issac's Grandpa, you're a scholar and a gentleman.

    Roll of quarters / movie quote

    While talking to someone about the old roll-of-quarters-in-your-fist trick recently, I had a hazy memory of a western I'd seen as a kid where this was employed. Wondering if anyone can help me place it. Two guys are getting ready to brawl, and the good guy (MAYYYYBE played by Lee Marvin)...

    which dvds would you recommend for OVERALL shotgun technique esp. defensive measures?

    Check out the sample videos from Clint Smith's training DVDs on YouTube. Here is the link to Defensive Shotgun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhgwHQCJwWw Clint is fantastic to train with in person, though I haven't watched any of his DVDs beyond these sample clips. They are pretty...

    What can I do to improve my shooting?

    Successful dry-firing is the art of fooling yourself into being honest with yourself. You have to simultaneously believe that the piece is hot -- so you'll take it seriously -- and that it's cold -- so that you'll concentrate on the front sight and not worry about the bangy stuff. While...

    Where do you find linseed oil?

    I'd be very surprised if any Home Depot/Lowe's in the country didn't have any. It will be in the paint section, on the aisle with solvents. You can also try art supply stores. Even the small stores will carry it, look next to oil paints.

    Gun owners who don't know about guns

    Exactly. It's a funny kind of ignorance to know something that specific! I'll take that over some of the stuff I see at the range ANY day. :)

    Gun owners who don't know about guns

    Wait -- they know about the four rules? If I have to deal with ignorance among gun owners, I'd much rather hear "only bolt-action rifles have bolts" than "don't make such a fuss, it ain't loaded."

    Looking at Kahr PM9 and CW9

    Holsters. Except for the new 45s and the CW9, all Kahrs have the same cross-sectional profile and will therefore take the same holsters. If you buy a holster marked "MK9", you know your PM40 will fit. The CW9 lacks some of the longitudinal cuts on the slide that other models have, which...

    Premium ammo failure

    What kind of failure do you mean? I had round 19 (from my first and only box of 20) of CorBon DPX 45 ACP snag on the feed ramp of my Kimber about a year ago. Of course the slide kept moving forward, so the hollowpoint got squished into a kind of egg shape. Needless to say that round did not...

    CHL carrier kills man

    Perhaps we're just pointing out that not all the facts are in, and the man's behavior is not that of your typical murderer. Have you ever been on a public bus when two passengers get into an argument? Everyone else on the bus does their best to look somewhere -- anywhere -- else. I find it...

    CHL carrier kills man

    Thank you. I also note that murderers do not typically hand their murder weapons over to EMTs and quietly wait for police to arrive to arrest them for murder. Murder means malice, and there is nothing in this newspaper article to imply malice, nor has the man been convicted, and I rather...

    Contractor Shooting package day 1

    I would think it clear that this was not my intent. Anyone who wishes to further discuss the issue should contact me privately. I apologize to everyone for the thread hijack. Please keep the information coming, and thanks to all those who understood my meaning.

    Contractor Shooting package day 1

    Yes and no. I'm glad we still live in a country where a dedicated student has the ability to become more much proficient than the lowest common denominator of last year's graduating class -- just by paying some money. "Can't you feel the wind of freedom blowing through your sweater vest?"
