Well put, Yokel. They achieve their ends by incrementalist means; each new law and regulation moving the agenda forward one click, never to be reversed. California's new plethora of gun laws is a prime example. They plan to make gun ownership so complicated that people will grow tired of...

Whenever I posted a question, RC was the first to answer and I carefully read all his answers to others. He was a fountain of knowledge and a gracious member on TheHighRoad. RIP, RC Geo

Post cataract surgery Hi Phlier: I had cataract surgery in 1991 and I chose near vision implants because I've worn glasses all my life and I'm used to them. I wear trifocal glasses (sharp cut, not blended) with the center panel cut to mid-range (front sight sharp) with distance at the top...

Beag_nut One vote for the Beretta. Mine is a commercial M9 which is essentially identical to the 92F. It is a double-action/single-action which means a long, heavy intial trigger pull (about 13lb on mine but I put in a Wilson hammer spring bringing it to about 8 1/2 lb now). For range use...

Webley MK IV 38/200 and Webley MK IV 38/200. That was when you could buy a gun at the age of 16. Traded it for a Steyr-Hahn 1913 9mm-Steyr which I still have.

It works like the f-stop on a camera. Looking through a smaller hole gives you better depth-of-field, meaning you can see both the front sight and the target more clearly at the same times. I made a piece of tin with a 1/16 hole drilled in it that clips over the frame of my glasses. It makes...

Great thread, Jeff. I think this is an excellent use of THR resources. --Geo

New Vaquero in 45 colt; Blackhawk in 41 rem mag. Luv 'em both.

Plus 1 That would also explain the difference between the Smith and the Buckmark.

Could she be looking at the dot with one eye and the target with the other?

Thanks RC and all. What fooled me was I couldn't figure how to hook it on a can edge like a regular can opener. Now that I know it's called a spear blade, I guess you just push it down through the lid metal. I'll try it on the refries tonight and see what happens. Geo

Hello folks: Picture below is a Kutmaster folding knife with 4 blades. The knife, bottle opener and awl are obvious, but what is that strange thing on the right? I've looked at many dozens of Kutmaster images on Google, but nothing looks like this. The upper edge is thin but not sharpened...

I put thermal shrink wrap tubing on my Colt cobra. Works fine, and it's removeable if I change my mind.

Got one behind the door of my home office; Sears side latch 16ga cut back to 20 inch barrel. Probably paid 5 bucks for it back in the Pleistocene Era. Kick-eez slip-on butt pad and a 5 round cuff with a couple of #6, a couple of #1 buck and one slug. Pick what you need at the moment. Light...

MichealT: Plus 1 on the .38 spl. My wife is now shooting a 4in S&W Model 64 with 148 gr. wadcutters over 2.7 grains of Bullseye. Her quote: "I'm sooo over the twenty-two!"
