    Watches

    DigMe: You can get some more information at www.smithandwessonwatches.com. Of course the tritium doesn't glow as bright as the pictures on that web page show. I got mine from lapolicegear.com. They had a fair number of the models at prices less than most other places. If I was to buy...

    Stupid Ammo Can Q

    You can stack 'em as high as you want. The problem you run into is them tipping over unless there is another column of cans next to the first. The likelyhood of them tipping over depends on the condition of the cans, and what type of floor (carpet/connex/concrete/etc) they are on. We usually...

    Army Times calls for 9mm to be dropped 45 brought back.

    I don't see why they immediately would rule out a SA design. Heck, the M16/M4 rifle is a single action design, but maybe it isn't as scary as a C&L 1911 since the hammer is hidden from view. Oh wait, this is the new kinder and gentler Army. Bunch of damn poofters running the show now is...

    Watches

    I picked up one of the Smith & Wesson branded tritium watches. I thought it was interresting they agreed to have their name stamped on watches, but this has actually turned out to be a good little watch. Available in titanium, black stainless, and stainless gunmetal. I was looking into...

    Devine Message NOT to Reload?

    I'm guessing you are full length sizing your brass. Start with cleaning the dies. They tend to accumulate lube, especially if you overdo it with the lube. If you are ripping the head of the case as soon as you try the downstroke, to where the case hasn't started to come down at all, it...

    Bulk .45 bullet sources?

    I just had a good laugh when I started thinking about what a mess it would be to have one of those boxes bust open inside a postal sorting facility and folks chasing down all those bullets before they jammed up some machine.

    Is a Flattop w/ Carry Handle Legal for Service Rifle Competition?

    Does it need to be a carry handle rear sight or is a flip-up rear sight legal? Being that it's "service (aka military) rifle" and an issue M4 configuration is with a flip-up rear and optical dot sight, the flip-up sight is, by definition, service.

    Ballistics laboratory for hire?

    If this is something you will do frequently, you might want to invest in an Oehler 43.

    Lets talk Chronographs

    I've been very happy with the Oehler 35 model. I did a write up on it here: http://www.dirtydeedsdonedirtcheap.net/shooting/oehler35review.html

    Sierra 500 round bulk packs?

    I buy the 500 rounds bulk-pack of the 55 grain .22 BlitzKings. Excellent accuracy. IIRC the box has it's own lot # on it, I don't see why they would have mix-n-match in the 500 round boxes and not the 100 rounders. They work real well on coyotes, provided you put the round in the boiler...

    Bulk .45 bullet sources?

    Armscor has bulk bullets. I'd get mine in 1k round boxes. Can't remember the cost, but they were very reasonable. A lot of the folks that I shot with in Vegas used them and is how I got turned on to them. Of course my notebook is at home, but I recall they had pretty good consistency between...

    The Upside of IDPA Rule Changes: Old Illegal Equipment Now Legal

    I've got a couple of very old holsters that are now legal, since in the old rules they weren't listed, but they fit the criteria of the new rules.

    Nightmares and guns

    Hmmm so maybe I need to outfit all the guns in my dreams with silencers. Yhea, that's the ticket. ;) But the times I do have dreams where I am supposed to shoot, the trigger won't budge a bit, like it's been welded in place.

    URGENT in WA State: Anti-Gun Hearing THIS TUESDAY. Please Read!!!!!!!

    I'd love to see a citizen during the public forum put forth the following(re: the no concealed carry in the capitol building): "That the public can carry firearms lawfully in the state capitol shows a trust between the legislators and their constituents. But what the legislature is saying now...

    (TX) Kids threatened over drug money

    A ticket stub from the airplane ride to Las Vegas always works wonders to cover ill gotten gains. While you are required to fill out IRS forms if you take in any substantial money in one sitting, you can claim multiple small payouts should you later get audited. Buy some nice...
