    Gun selection for introducing four ladies to shooting...

    All my kids learned to shoot fairly young, but mostly long guns (.22 rifles, shotguns). I was chagrined when my youngest daughter, then in her early 20s, pointed out that she had never fired a handgun. So we set out to rectify that. We took a Ruger Single Six and a Browning Buckmark in the...

    What really turns your crank?

    Nothing, really, though I have a weather eye open for a nice .50 or .58 caliber flintlock. I expect to continue downsizing over the next many months.

    Trying to frustrate my future self

    I'm at the tipping point. I'm retiring next month after a couple of years that were so busy I've not shot or loaded much. Over those years I have culled a few more than I added, but I still have more than I need or really want. My plan is to do a complete inventory of arms, shooting and...

    What is the oldest gun that you have fired?

    Shot a friend's Lee-Enfield in .303 British, but I have no idea when it was manufactured. Oldest in my safe is a 1958 three screw Ruger Blackhawk.

    A shooting at the Range

    Sadly, the Temple Daily Telegram is reporting the victim is dead; gunshot wound to the head. Under investigation.

    Why does the 7MM-08 tempt me?

    When I started hand loading, I got out of .30 calibers altogether. My Model 7 in .308 was the last to go, replaced by another in 7mm-08. Had I known then what I know now, I'd have started with 7mm cartridges. Lots of options in .284, and the 7mm-08 is nicely placed, capable of almost...

    Gun Magazines in Print. Do You Still Read Them?

    I subscribe to the digital editions of Rifle and Handloader, along with my subscription to LoadData.com. The NRA keeps sending me American Hunter but that's a perk of being a life member rather than a subscription in the traditional sense. I'm retiring in May and will have more time to read...

    Book Guns

    My wife and I just re-watched Season 2 Episode 1 of the BBC series, The Return of Sherlock Holmes: The Empty House. There was a great exchange between the judge and Dr. Watson at the inquiry related to a death. Watson testified that the victim was shot in the head by a .45 caliber revolver...
