    Do You Change Your Every Day Carry When Going On Lengthy Out of State Road Trips?

    Heck, I changed what I carry frequently so an out of state trip is no big deal. Last time I flew it was as for work. I was staying at a hotel in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Because it was work I couldn’t carry at work. Not liking leaving my gun in either the rental car or hotel, and the chance of theft...

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    If it were useless the US military wouldn’t be using it. Anything that gives you a better view of a situation is advantageous. Learning to use it is the key. When lasers became affordable I bought one a put it on an airgun. I put hundreds, maybe thousands of rounds through it learning how to...

    M-1A/M-14 gas system - just learned about the external "Spindle Screw"...almost planned to take rifle to gun smith. Relief !

    Way back in the dark ages I replaced a POS M16 with an M14. The fellow the the EGA who traded it to me (the USAF had better tasting beer), gave me a pretty good run down on how it operated and how to maintain it. Out of curiosity, I played with that part and quickly learned to it it and not...

    I had neighbors with that attitude. The a house a couple of blocks down the street was invaded by three armed black men at 11 in the morning.

    Old hands

    Old hands, but still strong because I keep using them. However, carpal tunnel surgery in two days. That will sideline my dominant hand for a few weeks. This only means I will carry revolvers exclusively for the duration. Revolver will be .357 mag or bigger. Since I reload I made up some lighter...

    Fighting Revolver

    Designed from it's very beggining as a fighting handgun. And let's face it the .45 acp is among if not the best fighting handgun cartridge of all time. And unlike many of the others shown here it has proven itself in the absolute word combat conditions ever.
