    checked out the Bodyguard 2.0... it's TINY

    Having not been able to get around good enough to go shoot for over a year I have been very lax in keeping up with what is what is available. I had to look this gun up to see what it was. It's interesting but my wife has an EZ in 380 that she can no longer shoot so I may just carry it. Getting...

    Prime series "Joe Pickett"

    Not visiting my library and not keeping up on the Fantastic Fiction website I wasn't aware of "Battle Mountain". I will have to go to the library next week. I like no nonsense Nate in the books but no so much in the series. Just too much difference in the show character from the novels for me.

    I will miss this spring's gun local gunshow.

    Thanks for the good wishes. This is to fix eyelid issues that happens to older people. This was a skin graft to correct a sagging lower eye lid after having two skin cancers removed right under it. Next will be to remove the excess skin that forms over the upper lids causing the eyelashes to rub...

    My project I just started

    Since pulmonary means have to do with the lungs I will admit seeing the condition of that revolver made me take a deep breath. If it were mine it would get a light sanding job, cold blued, and replaced grips even if I had to make them and then kept as a keepsake from my grandfather. Ceracoating...

    I will miss this spring's gun local gunshow.

    It will be held tomorrow and Sunday. My SIL and I were discussing going Sunday morning he has something going on tomorrow. I had eye surgery day before yesterday and my wife jumped into the conversation and told me I wasn't going. She advised me that since the wind is supposed to continue to...

    Is my Winchester low wall in .22lr adequate for ground squirrels, or should I upgrade?

    Our ground squirrels are few and far between as it's hard to dig burrows in caliche rock but we do have a few where the soil is deep enough for them to make a home They are quite small compared to a prairiedog and 22LR is very effective on the dogs. If they are wary and if you can't get within...

    A word of caution when dealing with snakes...

    To keep this on a generally gun related subject I will say that I shot every rattlesnake I came across when I was kid if I had my trusty 22 rifle. If not I used what weapon I could find, stick, rock, shovel, or hoe. I finally woke up to the fact that they are like every other domestic snake and...

    Our reloading philosophies

    I see the difference between saying "I am a reloader" or "I am a hand loader" as a hair to fine to split. I handle the components with my hands and wind up with a reloaded round. Call yourself whatever makes you happy and most of can figure out what you mean.

    Pacific Tool and Gauge customer service

    I try to be pleasant and polite any time I need to use customer service but sometimes it pays to get huffy right back at them. It has nothing to do with guns but my son once sent a set of HD iron head sportster heads off to be ported, polished, and with new valve guides and valves installed to...

    It's not easy being a caveman...

    I have been using RCBS reloading equipment for many years. I broke a pin one time and RCBS sent me for free. Their new stuff is most likely made from chinesium cast iron and steel and no telling what impurities are in it. RCBS hand primer are my favorite. I keep my older one set up for 223 and...

    Troublesome Calibers

    I now shoot softer recoiling calibers because of a time worn wrist. No more boomers like 44 magnum or snappy recoiling guns. I can do with out an aching wrist. 357 is also on the list. I can still handle it without pain but don't enjoy it at all now so bye-bye 357.

    Be honest

    My preference has always been SA revolvers and 1911's and I was a pretty good shot in days past. I don't care much for today's small easily concealed handguns because they make my hand hurt. At 87 years old I have lost a lot of muscle and become tender where nothing used to hurt. Add in...

    John Taffin

    He was one of the few writers left that I enjoyed. We grew up in the same era with me being just a little older. Sad to see him gone.

    Goodbye Glock

    The 1911 9 mm version is no slouch either. My SIL bought one of the newer Glock series pistols. He did not like it, my daughter didn't like it, and when he handed to me I gave it right back to him. I think he finally gave to his daughter-in-law. When it comes to shooting pistols I think you...

    Birthday Colt New Frontier .45

    No help on the market thing but I have an entire bottle and a little piece of one of Trailboss left. I shot the 45 Colt very little because of the finger issue as it brought no pleasure.

    Goodbye Glock

    I hit the trigger jackpot with mine. It was fairly decent. Not 1911 decent but still good for a striker gun of that era. I got to try it before buying so no surprise when I got it home.

    Holster for a Ruger .22

    Shopruger.com has some nice holsters specifically for the MK guns. Not fancy but should be great quality.

    Birthday Colt New Frontier .45

    No offense taken. I was just stating my thoughts about "ugly". I always avoided what I considered homely girls so can't comment on them.

    Goodbye Glock

    When I picked up my first Glock I put it back on the counter and told the salesman "This isn't for me". When I picked up my first full sized M&P I took it home with me.

    I Love Grok. AI is Wonderful for pitching ideas.

    I am from the analog age and while my brain cells have most of the sharpness worn off of them I am still able to compare numbers and come to my own conclusions. My share of AI can be given to someone else says curmudgeon me.
