    Is Wholesale Hunter a good/legit outfit?

    I have been in their store in Wetumpka. What you see on google is exactly like real life. I haven't bought from them online, but did buy powder while I was there. Inventory of guns wasn't real large, but the counter guy told me that most of his volume is online sales.

    Glock 26 or Taurus G3c

    It was a revolver. I don’t recall the model number, their rendition of a J frame. It was chambered in .357 magnum. It would run .38 Special fine, but would lock up on .357’s.

    Glock 26 or Taurus G3c

    I bought a brand new Taurus one time. It worked sometimes, sometimes it didn’t. I gave it away. I’ve bought Eight Glocks since then, and carried a few others Glocks that belonged my employer. I can’t imagine trying to decide between the two.

    Custom rifle didn't sell; take best offer?

    I, along with many, many others would never have known it was for sale, because we filter auctions with a reserve.

    Chamber Re-Lining.

    Before you go cutting chambers with a reamer, PM me your info. I might have some .444 brass that I could donate to the cause. You know, for science!

    Do you own a Glock?

    I currently have 4 of the double stack iteration, and recently sold the G48. (I”ll probably roll that money into a Gen5 G26.) After all these years of a Glock feeling a certain way, the slimline ones just don’t. I don’t have very big hands, but sometimes think my hand has conformed to hold a...

    Cowboy Load versus Half Cock

    Surprising and funny things that happened while hunting

    When I was a teenager I sat on a little folding stool right in trail between two big briar patches. A doe came running toward me on the trail and right as I thought she would clobber me, I saw her eyes get huge, she then sidestepped and kept going. I waited all afternoon for a buck that might...

    I thought I was done with it

    After having handled and shot Gen 5 Glocks without finger grooves, I find that I prefer them without better. I have a Gen 3 G27 that I’ve thought about sanding the finger grooves off of, but I just can’t make myself do a permanent mod like that. I’ll just go get a Gen 5, since I also like the...

    Your personal carry rules/guidelines

    I won’t carry anything smaller than a Glock G26/27. Most of the time it’s larger. 9x19 is my minimum. Either AIWB, or 3 o’clock OWB, depending on how I’m dressed. My pockets are for pocket knives. I won’t carry a pistol with a manual safety. I used to be into revolvers and still have and love...

    Kore CC belt

    I have two now for about 10 months. I wear the black one with a G45, one extra 17 round mag, one pair of handcuffs, a cell phone and a badge. All with a suit and tie. The brown one is more for being dressed down. They work great. My only complaint is the buckle on the brown one is starting to...

    Who is lucky enough to hunt on their own land

    I live on 38 acres and kill a deer or two every year. Also have another 58 down the road that I hunt. But now that we have gotten out of cattle, the wife and I are thinking about selling it and adding it to retirement savings.

    Which mags?

    Sometimes I put a 9mm conversion barrel in my Gen 3 G27. The factory .40 mags fees fine and hold two extra rounds of 9mm. But I would not use it for carry purposes because the top round can jump out from between the feed lips.

    Unis & Fiocchi primers

    I just received my second 5000 box of Unis Ginex SPP. The first 5000 went fine. I seat them with an RCBS hand priming tool and have had no complaints.

    questions for knife makers pertaining to cooling annealed steel.

    I’ve used a few files, and a whole bunch of farriers rasps. I heat them to a glowing orange. I used to touch them to a magnet, but now I can tell by looking. Bury them in the sand around my firebrick and forget it for a few days. Heat treating, the same color, not magnetic, then plunge into the...

    Convention for the naming of Smokeless Powders?

    Seems like I read somewhere that H380 was so named because of a pet load of 38.0 grains.

    Open Carry Gun Grab

    Off topic, but horses can both eat and drink with a bit in their mouths. It won’t slow them down a “bit.”
