Everybody: thanks very much for the help so far. As always, I'm impressed. Mizar and Railroader made a very good catch -- those grips, in particular, look dead-on -- but the folks who've suggested Tangfolio have a case too, especially in the light of Walt's useful info about label usage. All...

I work in Iraq, and a Kurdish friend in the security business asked me if I could do him a favor while I'm stateside and pick up a holster and (if they make one) a Crimson Trace grip for his new gun (handgun accessory stores being scarce thereabouts). Sure, I say. Then I look at his gun...

Lower end, more like, because 1) it's holiday season budget time and 2) they just wound up spending a hefty chunk on new tires.

Here's a fun situation. Friend's brother is acquainted with a woman who has a stalker ex. They are not close, but stalker ex has been going on a bit of crazy of late that has extended to her friends, and evidently has the impression that friend's brother and friend's brother's wife are closer...

Just got a call out of the blue from a friend with a possible job offer in Bosnia. I could use a change of scene, and it sounds like a good gig. I'd be spending a *lot* of time over there, though, and I don't know what effect it'd have on my hobby as yet. Solution: hit THR. I checked the...

4thPointOfContact: your embarrassing incident confirms Boothroyd's Conjecture. Geoffrey Boothroyd, the late gun writer who served as Ian Fleming's technical consultant after writing to point out that the .25 Beretta was an extremely poor choice of firearm for James Bond, told Fleming that he...

Pre-ordered! Gotta say, though, I don't like the cover. Not the painting so much as the text. Looks like the book title is INTERNATIONAL, part of the "Monster Hunter" series. :neener: (Hey, does that mean the sequel will be MONSTER HUNTER INTERPLANETARY?)

So, the Brady Campaign's newest tack is the "so many suicides would be prevented if we banned guns" thing. Obviously, because people never kill themselves with things other than guns. :banghead: But it does propose an interesting question. Depression is extraordinarily common; how do those of...

I think I saw that video, or excerpts of it, somewhere before -- I didn't remember the speaker's comments, but ain't no way to forget that scary blink-and-you-missed-it draw.

Oh, *hello Pro-60.* Thanks a lot, cpirtle and colt1903. Now I've got something else on my "must get" list. (Great pictures, guys. Well done.)

If you want a shooter, a Sig 556 or an AR. Stock up on AR mags. If you're collector-minded, however, go PS90. The reason I say this is: notice the proliferation of US-guns-flooding-Mexico media stories? Two weapons, without fail, are mentioned in every single one. These weapons are the...

The Casio's Exilim EX-F1 looks impressive -- it has high-speed motion capture capabilities (up to *1200 frames per second!*). Could be fun for those who enjoy shooting stuff. Gizmodo has some pretty nifty BB and spud gun footage up...

I've had the opportunity to read several post-mortem reports on Florida panthers that were found dead. A surprising number appeared to have been killed fighting with other Florida panthers. Ornery suckers -- no sense of solidarity.

+1 on the SERIOUSLY BAD IDEA FOR A CARRY GUN. Short shameful confession: I kinda feel for this guy, because I have actually amused myself imagining what would happen if DC and Marvel licensed comic-book-related custom guns. "Whosoever holds this Deagle, if he be worthy, shall possess the...

Anybody know if they do grips for bobtail 1911s? I've got a Dan Wesson Commander Classic Bobtail (for the record: LOVE it; my favorite gun that I own), and I've liked the Kimson dust of life grips since Xavier brought 'em to general attention. I see Kimson offers an option for Commander...
