    Has anyone ordered or received an order from Eric at HBE leather?

    Wow, this is a little annoying. I see this thread, and start reading it. The further I get in, the more I get a feeling of "Well, I shouldn't expect it to arrive on any particular date, but it sounds like this guy makes a heck of a holster if I'm willing to wait." Then, I get to these last 2...

    I'm getting a CCW!

    The justification I had to use was carrying a specified amount of cash. This amount may vary from county to county, but most Linn county folks know how much it is here. I had a Johnson county permit a few years back, and it stated "When transporting cash or valuables", and I didn't have to...

    I'm getting a CCW!

    Thanks all! Yeah, 25 yards is pretty ridiculous. As the instructors told us, it's not likely you'll ever be in a gunfight at 25 yards. And, odds are the other guy is not going to be as good as we had to be to qualify.

    I'm getting a CCW!

    So, here in Iowa, getting a CCW permit can vary from essentially shall issue (Polk, Tama, Jones co's), to no issue (Linn, Johnson, Cedar co's). Well, Linn county is on that hard list, but I was able to justify getting into the CCW class, then passed that a couple weeks back. The next step, is...

    Tried Trail Boss in .45 ACP

    So over the last year or so, I've been reading off and on about the new(ish) Trail Boss powder by IMR. I know none of my guns are the intended calibers, but I wanted to try it anyway (mmm...doughnuts :neener: ). The only thing I have that it could possibly work in is a .45 ACP. Anyway, I...

    Bought a CRKT "Voodoo" folder yesterday

    me too! I picked up the same knife as you, the CRKT Voodoo plain edge, at a gun show today. I was hoping to get a revolver, but my pistol purchase permit expired a few months ago, so I had to settle for a fine knife and some reloading gear. :) I paid $90, MSRP looks to be $129.99, but...

    Lineup of a few shells. thought yall'd get a kick out of it.

    Now they're showing up again, but I'm guessing you'll be over your geocities limit by the time folks get off work tonight. :) So, since you can upload files to THR, I saved them, and will post them for ya. (not visible, just a link). edit: well, I guess vbulletin knows a file is a pic, and...

    Intratec Tec-9 questions

    Holy resurrected thread, Batman! Anyone else notice the post dates? One post was Dec 29, 2002, and the next post was......oh, April 4, 2005. Of course, now that I've read closer to get that exact date, I notice this thread has been resurrected again today...but for a good post this time. Oh...

    Anyone using Hodgdon's Tightgroup or Universal in 45ACP?

    I've got only two powders so far, I know one is Universal, and pretty sure the other is TG (unless it's Titewad). When I started reloading .45ACP, I heard recommendations that U.C. was clean burning, so tried that first, and it seems to be true. I was having problems with unburnt flakes...

    Good Gun/Political Blog down the tubes...

    I happened across his page/blog just tonight, after seeing the URL on a shirt at http://www.thoseshirts.com/nor.html . Looks like a good site, especially considering he's quoting one of our own today! :)
