When the wife says " you should go buy a new gun, It's been too long" one does not hem and haw, one says thank you, and takes her with him. When she suggests that I've been considering a 1911 for a long time and I'd probably enjoy one, I took her advice. (it was this or a .480/.460 revolver)...

Even though CTC was rapidly overshadowed by the scope of the Sandy Hook shootings, some sanity reigns in Oregon. Hopefully this story sees some wider circulation. http://www.katu.com/news/local/Father-of-man-killed-in-mall-shooting-says-guns-not-the-problem-187417701.html "Blaming a...

Wish i'd taken a photo... As we were cleaning up and taking our ear protection off today, we were struck by the report (through the walls) of what sounded almost... but not quite like a Five-seven. Looking through the window a fellow had a 1911 framed gun producing brilliant...

Kids at the grandparents... Dinner done, settling in with the missus for an hour or so at the idiot box, on the loveseat while still wearing my Shoulder holster and the Blackhawk. Me: "Ow, dammit... Wearing the wrong rig for comfort on this side..." Her: "i'm sorry... Do you need your...

Well, technically she gets it when she shows me her CCW card as an adult, but it's "hers" to use and care for now. No luck getting her the Bersa .22 we originally intended, but she's happy, and understands full well how very lucky she is that I was willing to spend even MORE of my...

After too much time procrastinating... It's up. And I feel all sorts of stress from the last few years evaporating. 4 Cameras 480 lines of resolution... 320 feet of cable run through conduit and the wall... (4x 60' runs come with, I needed to pick up 2 100 foot runs separately)...

Ok, the wait is over, Uncle Sam has returned to me what was taken...I Went to the LGS today... and they're closed... (The owner takes random medical days when he has to, I don't begrudge him that one bit. ) Assuming it's still there tomorrow... There is a Consigned Ruger Blackhawk...

Off it goes, brave little pistol... Fare thee well Sigma 9VE. The missus finally got tired of the gritty feel, and the sound of ripping cardboard when she pulled the trigger on her beloved gun. S&W sent the shippers tag in e-mail, I was lazy/didn't feel like buying a "real" box and spent a...

Doing my usual pre-buy waffling between a few Animal-named pistols, I was checking the Chiappa website, and it appears one of the SHOT show announcements was the addition of 2 new calibers. .40... and 9x21 (new one to me, had to Google it) http://chiappafirearms.com/product/725 I'm...

Just working a different powder every few sessions while I search for the ones I like best... this weeks try is moving from Clays, to Titegroup. 180 grain Hornady XTP's (no cheap bulk in stock, oh well) the Lee auto-disc's chart says I'll be throwing what appears to be the max charge of 4.7...

My in-house mother in law has sound and light activated migraines that don't mesh well with my 3 kids, spurring me finally to try and find adequate filters for her. Came across a few posts here about the Surefire passive ear filters and for the price, couldn't resist sampling a pair for her...

My friend up north and I have had a few conversations in the past about the possibility of attempting to re-create some older pistols (Broomhandles, belt-fed revolvers, Volcanic) in an ABS plastic, mechanically functional...but obviously not "usable" format. Now he's starting to pull up plans...

All hail the slow advance of Sanity. http://www.oregonlive.com/education/index.ssf/2011/09/oregon_court_of_appeals_reject.html Bill Graves/The Oregonian The library on the campus of Portland State University, where it will be legal for students with permits to carry concealed guns...

And so it begins... Take one engineer boot, retired from garden duty as a younger, perkier boot has taken it's place ... Big feet mean lots of spare leather to work with... I have my awl... I have a spool of heavy poly thread, 4 needles and patience. I intend on making a cavalry style...

Sorry, couldn't resist the alliteration Ok... Taurus hate/love aside. I've shot one of the "perfect" Tauruses..(Taurii?) anyhow I know that flawlessly functioning ones DO exist, just not this one. 9 shot Taurus Tracker .22 revolver. My old man picked this up about a year or so ago now...

Joined the Club today.. #%$%$$#. Old man's Taurus Tracker 9 shot .22 still having cycling problems, cylinder locks up in DA, dumped it, reloaded it... was chatting with the other folks and emptied it again.. turned to dump the brass, was stopped by a question. turned back towards the range...

http://www.imrpowder.com/data/handgun/trailboss-feb2005.php Pressed out the first .38's in Clays for Pop 2 weeks ago. We're getting together tomorrow, and I just pressed out my Trail Boss .45 colts, and had the urge to see how it would compare to the .38s we've already prepped. Dies...

After a few months of collecting parts instead of shooting my fun money up, Today at last, I'm finally pulling the lever on my Lee 4 hole Turret ( the cast iron one) And loading my first .45 Colt rounds. I'm aiming for lower pressure rounds to shoot in a Schofield replica, (at least till I...

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office must release a list of the names of people who received concealed weapons permits issued in 2006 and 2007, the Oregon Court of Appeals decided today. The Medford Mail Tribune filed a request with the sheriff's office to release a list of licensees after...

Today I FINALLY managed to sneak down to the range to take advantage of my membership. With the Rose City Gun show going, we had the range to ourselves, and I proceeded to start breaking my M&P .40 in. I've been mostly a Revolver man, (Typically in Single action), readjusting my grip after...
