When I go to bed I take the S&W .38 snub out of the De Santis pocket holster in my right front pocket and the Ruger LCP .380 out of its cell phone type case on my left hip and put them both on my night stand right beside my bed.
I once had a Ruger, a Browning, and a Beretta all three "break" during the same range session.
The Ruger was my P89 9 mm. I fired a round and the casing was still in the chamber and racking the slide would not remove it. On examining the gun when I got home, I discovered the cartridge case...
But how could a Glock fire like that? It has a safety!
Surely everyone recognizes that I am being facetious. It does bring up a question that I have never gotten a satisfactory answer to(to me anyway). What does that so called "safety" on the trigger buy you? How is it any safer than my...
I have two Blackhawk convertibles, a .45 Colt/.45 ACP and a 10 mm/.38-40, and a Single Six convertible. I bought the 10 mm/.38-40 to a companion to my 1873 Winchester/
I will not try to talk you out of it. I will just relate my own experience. When I bought mine I just couldn't see not going ahead and getting both cylinders. For several years I shot mostly LR's in it. But about three years ago I bought a S&W Model 317 Airlite. It is an eight shot double...
I hope no one fires any gun (except in a defense situation) without hearing protection! I put foam earplugs in when I go hunting. That .30-06 is brutal on the ears without protection. I have tinnitus now. Most likely from not using hearing protection when younger and dumber. My ears ring...
I already carry my LCP in a case on my belt that looks like a cell phone case. And I have seven shots. A friend of mine who knew I carried every day thought it was my cell phone for two years until I showed him my pistol.
I have killed two coyotes. The first was several years ago while deer hunting. I had gotten into my shooting house before daylight. It was about 10:00 am and I hadn't seen anything. I had leaned my rifle against the wall and was preparing to leave. I glanced out the front window of the...
I carry in church. And at least three or four others also carry in the small church I attend. Mass shootings are as likely to occur in church as anywhere else.
We have it pretty good in Alabama. A few years ago we went from may issue to shall issue for CCW. It was much debated whether open carry was legal but a couple of years ago we got legislated open carry. The latest thing we got was being able to be issued a permit for up to five years. Last...
I don't know if this will help you any but I have a Nikon Buckmasters 3-9x40 on my NEF Handi Rifle .30-06. I have fired it 15 times at deer and coyotes and have put down 13 deer and 2 coyotes with those 15 shots. I only check my zero once a year just before deer season opens. I never have to...
This was over 40 years ago but I saw a fellow put five shots from a .17 caliber centerfire rifle into one hole at 100 yards. It was a heavy barrel rifle with a barrel at least an inch thick. He had previously weighed the bullets and separated them to the tenth of a grain. He used brass once...
