    Is it possible to determine what military person was issued which firearm?

    In 1960 the Army kept tract of who received what weapon, but that info was localized. I.e. only kept at the company level. Best.

    Best .45 ACP for concealment

    Biggest problem with 1911's (and any gun really) is more the grip length than the barrel length. IMHO

    Left handed & cross dominant - speed loader

    In the days I was in the Army there were no left-handed shooters! NONE! So they thought me how to shoot right handed, which I still do. Gun ALWAYS stays in my right hand. Press cylinder release with right thumb, at the same time opening the cylinder with two right handed fingers. "Slap"...

    Anyway to Tighten up Gunbelt Bullet Loops?

    How about a thin piece of leather glued inside the offending loops. Really thin depending how loose the loop. Also, wet the loops thoroughly and let them dry in the sun. I would go for the "shims". Best.

    Why hasn't the Hi Power gone the way of the 1911?

    JMB wished for a high capacity pistol that would solve the problems of the 1911 that he fathered, hense the P-35. However, he died in 1926 long before he even completed the first design. That was completed by his chief designer, a Belgian, whose name I could never pronunce, let alone remember...

    Need Consensus of Opinion on Self Defense

    Ok, this will never happen to me. Or perhaps 25 million to one. I read where some fisherman in DesMoines is fishing at 1:30AM (What? He's a fisherman!) and he gets beaten to death by a mob of "undescribed" teen-agers. The mob keeps bystanders from calling 911 or trying to stop the assault...

    AR-15 vs. AK-47

    I'm sure this has been beaten to death already, everywhere. Locally the AR prices are goofy. I just don't need the rifle that bad. Leaves me looking for AK. Who builds the best? Opinions, .02, welcomed and appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best.

    Nickle Finish cleanup

    I'm looking at a nickle finish revolver online and I'm wondering how I might cleanup any minor "blemishes" that might exist, obviously without damaging the finish. How about some Flitz liquid? Thanks in advance.

    Para cord bracelets

    Been looking on YouTube at how to make para cord bracelets. Looks like nice therapy for injured hands/fingers etc. I can't figure out how useful these are. It seems deployment will take as long as the construction. Wouldn't it be easier just to carry a rolled up bundle in your pocket? along...
