      5" N Frame

      You're gonna like it. It's my second-favorite N-frame. Some previous owner had put Ajax grips on it, but they fit my hand better that Smith targets.

      should i get a 17l a 34 or turn my 19 into a 34?

      The joys of being a revolver guy. Should I get a 17 (that's a K frame 22) or a 34 (that's a J frame 22 - much smaller. Hard to think about comparing them), or change my 19 (K frame 357) into a 34 (J frame 22?!?! How the hell is he gonna accomplish that??) I read more. Oh. Glock. Never mind.

      Black Folks & Colored Folks

      I heard this years ago, by some black stand-up comic. It's too clean for Richard Pryor or Redd Foxx, too old for Eddie Murphy, and Bill Cosby don't do "racial humor", so I don't know who it could have been, but it's been a good twenty years or more ago.

      Is he taking a stand against it, or is he bragging that that is the only one he commits?

      How do you list your emergency contacts in your cell phone

      When I first heard of ICE, several years ago, I put my ICE in front of my daughter's and my mother's numbers. BOOM. They were the first numbers on my phone. ICE daughter's name and ICE Mama. When I got my new phone, I put them in. They weren't first. They were in the "I"s.:( Changed...

      15 Stunningly Dumb Warning Labels

      The hair dryer. Do Not Use While Sleeping. People love to bust on that one. When I was about 17 or 18, I discovered that, when getting ready for bed, if you stuck the blowdryer under the covers for 10 seconds or so, it warms up the sheets. You haven't lived until you've crawled into a warm...

      Slug Question

      Depends on what type slug you plan to use. Normal, old-fashioned "rifled slugs" - foster slugs - work fine in either smooth or rifled barrels. Sabot slugs, however, were designed to be used in rifled barrels, and don't work well in smoothbores.

      So your teenager has a blog.

      First, shouldn't #20 be a designer straightjacket? Did you mess it up, or did she? Now, you said this was on her blog. Have I been misunderstanding what a blog was all this time? I thought you took your personal private thoughts, like your diary, and posted it on the internet. If this is...

      Apple Cider Vinegar

      I put a jigger-full (what's that, 1 1/2 ounces?) in a 10-ounce glass of apple juice. Dilutes it enough that it just gives the juice a little "whang". Why would taking it straight make it better than diluting it? Unless my stomach is completely empty, it's gonna be diluted as soon as it gets...

      Gun Question - Age Requirements

      By law (which is ignored by lots of people) if it is to be fired in a rifle, it is not "pistol ammo". That's why, when you go to Wallyworld to buy 22s, they ask if it is for a rifle or a pistol. If it's for a rifle, you only have to be 18 to buy it, but if it's for a pistol you have to be 21...

      Ten Simple Rules for Dating my Daughters:

      That what that is? Between the expression on his face, and the grip on the small end with the large end sitting in his cupped palm, it just looks like a pissed off dad standing there tapping a baseball bat into his hand. I figgered he was explaining to the neighbor boy what was and was not...
