    Alaskan Cruise and .44 revolver...

    We have been on 8 or 9 cruises including Alaska, Jamaica, Honduras, Belize, etc. I always take my swiss army knife in my checked luggage and it is the first thing I unpack and put in my pocket while I am on the ship. You never know when I will need to cut a thread, loosen a screw etc. I also...

    Dremel tools

    Flexible shaft I have a flexible shaft on one of my Dremels and it really makes it easier to do detail work. The end of the shaft that you hold is just larger than an ink pen and is much easier to hold and control than the bulky Dremel tool. The shaft is about 4' long and I am able to hang...

    Walmart + Box of 30-30= 40 minutes of waiting

    Something else to think about... About 28 years ago I worked in Sporting Goods for Woolco. Woolco was a national chain sort of like Walmart before Walmart became omnipotent. I gained a whole lot of knowledge about guns from the folks that came in. I suggest that you should take every...

    Is Gander Mountain lowering prices?

    Stock levels dropping? I go by our local GM about once a week, just in case they decide to put a gun on special, or in case they get in a used gun that I might want. I have found a few deals over the years, but not what you would expect from a major retailer. I have noticed that their stock...

    Handgun alternative's in .45

    How about a Para Ordinance Warthog? 10 + 1 rounds in a very controllable package. Comes in stainless or black. Mine has been shot by about 9 different people and every one of them enjoyed shooting it and were accurate with it right from the start...

    Para Ordnance 1911, Anygood?

    I second the good opinion on the warthog. My stainless version has had a ton of rounds through it with no problems. I also have a P1445 with less rounds than the warthog that has been trouble free.

    How many *MORE* guns do you still want to buy before you are finished?

    I am definitely going to need more guns than I already have. Only 1 large safe is full, and I know some folks with several safes full, so I have to catch up. It seems like I see some neat gun I really want about every 6 months. I am in my late 40's now, so God willing, that could equal out to...

    Which movies made you want to get a gun?

    An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore..... Oh heck, I thought you asked what movie made me want to USE a gun...:evil: Dirty Harry turned me into a revolver man from a very early age and even though I own high dollar semi's and a few "plastic" guns, revolvers still have my heart. Nothing like a...

    What does your wife carry?

    Smith & Wesson Revolver She carries a Smith & Wesson Model 340PD Revolver with HIVIZ sights. It kicks like a mule, but I feel like she will be more likely to carry it because it is so light and small. From their website: Smith & Wesson combined a Scandium alloy frame with a Titanium...

    Anyone Else Buying Just for Today

    Kimber SIS Tomorrow I am going to go get a Kimber SIS that I have had my eye on. There has been a lot of towel wringing by the liberal media about how that gun was "designed for law enforcement use and not suitable for civilians". I think it would be a good way to remember this date and stick...
