Some advocate poking a finger into the chamber as well. That would probably detect/dislodge a round stuck on the breechface.

That's what I would assume, but sometimes names like that are inaccurate. French fries, for example, supposedly originated in Belgium. It's surprisingly hard to get information like that about knives. Googling "french nail pull", for example, returns only 7 results, and some of those results...

Just based on looking at image results in Google, it seems like the crescent pulls are more common. I don't know that there's a particular advantage to either one--just personal preference. Mine might come from the fact that my folks gave me a nice Buck stockman decades ago and it had the...

It's a clip point blade from something like a stockman pocket knife. It's been sharpened a lot by someone who made no attempt to preserve the original edge profile. It used to have a lot more of a belly and was longer. Maybe a knife like this one...

I've never used it very much, but I have managed to empty at least one can over the years. These days, I would use Hornady One Shot for any application where I used to employ Rem Oil.

Interesting. I learned something new today.

Correct. It's pretty unlikely that Mr. Beck has sworn to defend the Constitution.

Shooting someone is a really terrible idea if lethal force is not justified. I know a guy who killed a large dog with a pellet gun although he was just trying to scare it away--he couldn't believe it when the dog piled up down the street. I watched a video a couple of weeks ago where cops...

Right now, my favorite revolver is my SP101 in .22LR. It's just really fun to shoot.

Right. After awhile one realizes that two major considerations when a knifemaker picks particular steel for a forged custom knife are ease of forging and ease of heat treat. If you want one of the more exotic steels from a custom knifemaker, it's probably not going to be forged. It will be...

I'm really glad she survived. I think she would have been better off if she had the gun closer to hand and didn't have to retrieve it from the bedroom only after being cuffed to a chair. Once she had retrieved it, already knowing the guy was armed, she probably should have barricaded herself...

Right. Long "incubation" periods are kind of a hallmark of the prion diseases. Actually, as far as that goes, 5-6 years is pretty short. What I liked the least from the study was that the deer meat that infected the monkeys came from deer that tested positive for CWD but that were not showing...

Correct. Because you can not kill them at all. They are not alive. I was able to find some more information on the study with the macaques and it is disturbing. https://vkm.no/download/18.25950e0715e84a118a6ec492/1506925175221/Statement CWD.pdf "Two of the animals that were orally infected...

It is not uncommon for relatively inexpensive, powerful, spring piston airguns to be somewhat twangy. There's a big, strong spring in there that is released abruptly when the trigger is pulled. Taking a spring out of a powerful airgun is tricky and potentially dangerous.

I won't carry a gun that doesn't point well for me. If there's some reason I can't use the sights, I want assurance that the gun is going to be pretty close to on target anyway. I won't carry a handgun/loading combo that forces me to adjust my grip between shots. If I can't maintain a solid...

Unfortunately it does not say that they were fed both. "...CWD was transmitted to monkeys that were fed infected meat (muscle tissue) or brain tissue from CWD-infected deer and elk." "Meat from these asymptomatic deer was also able to infect the monkeys with CWD." The wording of the article...

I've seen ranges set up like this. They are trying to save space and money by having only one backstop and have only one firing position. It can be safe if it is carefully designed, but it's tricky to make everything work. I've been at one that had a single firing line and a single...

If he's so stupid that you can't explain to him how his wife making him dead because he tries to scare her really bad and succeeds is a very bad thing for both of them, then I don't know what to say. You still need to talk to BOTH of them together and do your best to explain the concept.

Good deal. Next time she'll be able to shoot him through the door and resolve the emergency. I love a happy ending... :( Seriously, before you teach her how to use guns, you need to have a sit-down and talk to both of them about trying to limit the stupid a little bit. Guns are very...

Yes. S&B 9mm very reliably fails to chamber 2-5 rounds out of a 50 round box in my Ruger 9mm firearms. Don't have that problem with any other brand of ammo. I will still buy S&B, but I don't shoot it in my Rugers. I've noticed very different odors from the different propellants in...
