      S&W Governor Info

      rifled barrels ruin shot patterns. when you look at them on the target, there's a "ring' of pellets around a big empty center, where the centrifugal force spun the pellets out. The velocity and penetration of the buck pellets is very low. It's a huge, heavy expensive clunk. I'd rather have a...

      Colt Defender

      Do they have the same, weak little retention stud on the recoil spring plug that the Officer's ACP has? Wilson sells a replacement for the latter. I like the Concept of the Defender, but am unsure about the execution of it. Bill told me, a while back, that the shorty 1911's often have the...

      Bad idea??

      Around here, the diff in price of practice ammo is 10c a shot. If you shoot enough to be any good, that adds up fast. No better than anyone performs when being shot at, the diff between 9mm practice and .40 carry wont mean a thing. Most shots completely miss the man at 5 yds, if the defender...

      Generator recommendation around $1000 or less

      I have not seen one recently, but Briggs/Stratton have always had NOISY generators,a nd you can't quiet them down, without causing them to overheat, unless you build a really big, baffled box for them to sit in. I"d get a Used Honda, off of ebay. Is there some reason that you can't just shut...

      Jerry's 1000 yard 9mm shot

      Jerry was using a 9mm revolver. the .45 shooting, my guy was about 30 yds to the right of my line of fire, and the gun was in a machine rest. He was just standing behind a big tree. You'd be in more danger just riding a motorcycle, or driving you car on snow/ice.

      Jerry's 1000 yard 9mm shot

      if the hole's deep enough, why worry? :-) and if your man can shoot and you're 50 yds to the side, why worry? Yes, I could get the groups hitting around the target well enough, in a day or so, but the group would be 10ft wide, if it was me shooting, offhand. :-) So getting 2 hits might take...

      460 Rowland Kimber Target 1911

      for the entire package, over 2k, I'd betcha, perhaps even 3k. If you have or get a fully supported barrel, you can RENT the reamer and deepen the chamber yourself. If you have to shorten the brass to ACP length, and wussyload it, then you might just as well use R-P Commerical ACP brass, and...

      Rice Bran and feed grade soybeans

      coons will tear up corn on the stalk, when the ears are new/fresh.

      What food plot mix to plant

      buried salt blocks work, if you don't have too many farmers and ranchers putting them out for their critters. Sweet corn, carrots and apples will get them scraping/licking the ground. after the first signs of use appear, just sporadic "goodies" will keep them coming. Of course, you can't...

      Will Hayden ARRESTED

      something real bad would happen to her, down the road a ways, for a fact. horrible lawsuit, I mean, of course. The kind that make you kill yourself.

      Modular Homes anyone? or Schumacher Homes?

      I know that even in the mortgage boom of 2000-2007, almost none of the lenders would touch any of the above (if singlewide) About the only ones that would lend on a doublewide went backrupt, like countrywide and IndyMac.. There's reasons for that. One of them is that such homes can disappear...

      I once lived without power access for 8 months.

      hey, if you suffer from NIH syndrome, that's not my problem. I can't help it that I know 10x as much as you about guns and survivalism. :-) I've been at it for 50 years now. Where were you?

      Check your gear....

      Wow. I dehydrated all my water. :-) why not just have a rain barrel, then re-install the bung? put a pc of screen wire and some coffee filters on the entrance, of course, and treat or boil it if you need it. If you need to move it, pour some out into other containers. Even 2-3 garbage bags...

      Low profile gas blocks

      there's no way in hell I'd give up the option to use the iron sights.

      Why is a $3K 1911 better than a $389 Glock 19?

      I see plenty of videos where fools DO point guns at themselves, especially their hands.
