    RV's/Motor Homes & Guns

    As noted, depends on the state. NM considers your car (or motor home) an extension of you house, so a loaded pistol is OK in your vehicle. See www.handgunlawus.com for details -

    Shooting Glasses

    Thx for the input, guys, I had my right eye done on Friday, he left will get done in two weeks. The day after the new lens implant scoped out at 20/40, but the Dr said it take a few days for my vision to stabilize and it should continue to improve. I took the right lens out of my glases, which...

    Shooting Glasses

    I have often joked about my age - over 60, off warranty, can't get parts . . . at least no parts you'd want - But I recently found out that I have cataracts, and they can be easily corrected and I can have 20/20 again (which i haven't had since 4th grade), but I will need reading glasses...

    Replacement for MMC 1911 adj. rear sight?

    I have a Kimber Custom Royale with a Brazos Lighning Rod front sight and an MMC adjustable rear. While shooting to requalify for my carry permit last weekend, the sight insert on the rear sight fell out and was lost in the sands of the Albuquerque Shooting Park. So, in the course of trying...

    Brinks commerical... Just call me a cynic

    In my very limited experience, the police respond much more quickly to someone on the scene (i.e. the homeowner) rather than some guy in a 'monitoring center'. I think alarm systems definitely have their place, but you should be talking to the police with your weapon in your hand instead of the...

    My wife goes to the range.

    Way :cool: Congratulations to all y'all! BTDT with my wife, too. After effects from TBI (traumatic brain injury) are varied and unpredictable as to how they'll heal (or not), but the brain is pretty amazing in it's ability to re-program itself around problems. But it is slow . . . any...

    Virginia Arms Co. (Manassas, VA)

    VA Arms is one thing I do miss about NoVA, great inventory, knowledgeable/helpful/friendly staff, good prices . . . . Local stores here in SF could learn a lot from Bernie & co.

    Went to research & rent, ended up buying a Walther P1.

    BFD, there are several Walther forums around that can help you learn about your new 'baby'. e.g. http://www.waltherforum.com/ and http://www.carlwalther.com/ has parts and does repairs on older walthers. As far as your acquisition price, you did fine. You can compare prices on Guns...

    James Bond Guns

    I got a kick out of the dialog when they took Bond's little Beretta & he got the Walther - '7.65 Browning, hits like a brick through a plate glass window . . . ' That was sort of when I first figured Flemming didn't know much about guns.

    Concealed carry shoulder holster

    I've ben happy with a Galco Jackass rig, it's pretty comfortable for all day wear. I have one each for a SIG 239 and another for a Colt LtWt Cmdr. Depending on your build and current tailor, you amy want to condsider going up a jacket size so you won't print. HTH.

    To open the door - Or NOT to open the door - that is the question

    We have a glass strom & front (frosted) door, with a well-lit stoop, so I can pretty much see who/how many is out there. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood so I don't worry too much during the day, though I often have something in my pocket if it's someone I don't. In the evenening I almost...

    The 'critical mass' attack

    I drive (mostly) and I bike (sometimes). I also belive in the Law of Gross Tonnage. We have our share of Militant Moron Cyclists here in Santa Fe. Mostly, I give 'em room, but some really push the limit. Recently, I had some idjit charge me from across the street as I was doing a...

    Sig 556 questions

    Update Well, the Leupold arrived today. Put it together, mounted on the rifle, and I like it. I used the tallest spacer, about 6" of releif, and I really like the basic view - very bright and well defined, and quick enough on target. I like dealing with a single plane of focus. Proabably...

    Dyncorp

    We had an office in the same building in NoVA off the Dulles Toll Rd, did a little IT consulting for them. My general impression was that they were professional, but demanding, they had a decent reputation as gov. contractors go. My (non-classified) experience was in 2002-3. FWIW.

    Sig 556 questions

    A funny thing happened . . . over the weekend. I got a call from "Jen" @ SigArms, congratulating me on my purchase and thanking me for the business. She then went on to say that they had some sort of owner rewards program going and could offer me half price on Sig accessories, magazines...

    Very, Very Dangerous Weapons

    Same as it every was - I was in the army 1970-73, when there was still a draft, and there were guys who were in because some judge gave them the choice of the military of jail (big no-brainer, that) Some were genuine badasses, most were just meatheads or screwballs. There were a few junkies...
