I'm sitting down for once and trying to finally watch Shane on TCM.

Update: Boy this is a long two hour movie!

I hAve been interested in this, but for some 9mm fmj I've stocked up on these many years. I don't have much other than hand tools and running a file free hand to put a flat point on a fmj probably won't do well in the consistency/accuracy dept. Both my Glock and Sig shoot that east euro stuff fairly...

It would have to be the work of a barrel maker, every 132 shots, you,re burn,t out, and have to neck up to the .243, then .257, then the .260, then 7mm,.......

And here I was thinking I'd catch all get out badmouthing pro sports. Seem a fair number of us old curmudgeons feel the same way about a bunch spoiled brats wasting TV bandwidth. Yep, grown men playing children,s games, getting lots of money and crying every step of the way. I thought I was the onl...

It doesnt get shot much these days, but my heavy 8 inch did very well with 9.9 BD & a 158swc. I,ve got a heavy 4 inch installed now. - Brian

Its a nice knife. Keep in mind its a liner lock. They fold on your hand now and then if stressed. I assume all liner locks are no locks when using them. Have one friend that had an expensive liner lock close on him. Cheap liner locks can be, but most of mine are Emersons. Something I do after check...

As long as they're small and easily hidden. I reference the scene from Diamonds are Forever, when Jill St John answers the door in her soft and silkies. Then she takes Bond's glass to put ice in it. For years she got my vote as finest tushie on the planet, until Olga Kurelenko in Hitman came along. ...

In McPherson's article he makes a passing remark about Power Pistol. PP is known in the industry as Bullseye 84. Bullseye because it looks like BE. 84 because it was formalized in 1984. Anyway, in an article in Handloader a few years ago, a CCI rep said that they load more PP/BE84 than ALL other pow...

Brian, great post, from a fellow Holmes enthusiast. I just ordered Lovette's book. Not to get over confident, but with Ed's teaching, I started to understand why some of the "old guys" felt the snubby was good enough. And for today's close range interpersonal conflict management, snubbies...

Bought a 2 incher, used at the lgs with the Crimson Trace stocks. Shot well, until I broke the firing pin, spent A LOT of time dry firing, and the little part that strikes the primer broke off. This was a modern day Bulldog Pug. Sent it in for the pin, and asked for a 4 inch bbl to be installed, and...

go over to youtube and search for "COLHANE". he's a pastor in the Nor'east, that spends a lot of time teaching survival courses in Brazil. Lots of good teaching on the use of machetes, and camping in the scrubb. The vids on machete mods, will get you started very well. I'm planning on modd...

The 1978 with Kirk Douglas? IMO, way overacted. They were really treading the boards, and chewing the scenery on that one. Easily Douglas' worst movie ever. Yeah, but the bikini scene with Amy Irving was kickin'!!! I got the feeling the scene with "mother Knuckles" was an inside joke. - B...

I own a 6" 66, and that's my sole experience with K-Frames.
On the 38 side of the house, what is the difference between the Md 10, 13, 15 etc. Methinks its more than bull bbls, and factory sites. - Brian

Please remember that John L also said in his writings that this is not about "if I can see it, I can hit it" distances using cut-down rifles and calling it handgun hunting. Its about sneaking up, getting close, and then hitting 'em with that brick. Whether 1000 feet or 1200 feet. I've used...

I would like to know if sword canes and Bowies (knives over 5 1/2) are now legal for CC. - Brian No. They are still "illegal knives". Basically, all the laws did is change a CHL to an HL. I'm waiting for all the pre- January 01 language to filter out before I try to wade through it. http:...

I'm sure open carry will deter bad guys that don't happen to have a firearm, but I just hope that open carry (anywhere) won't urge some bad guy(s) to open the dance by taking out the obvious threat to their endeavor, first.

Actually, since in TX you have to have a CHL (now just called a "Carry License" or something like that), I'll still keep mine covered. But, I won't worry about the occasional flash or such. I don't see me carrying my Colt SAAs in my western holster into the local eatery or such... I'm wit...

I'm jealous. I'd be doing a Snoopy Happy Dance for a Hungarian HP, and you get a MKIII !!

I can now have Christmas. "The Man Who Came to Dinner" is on.
Fitzwillie is another good one.
For me, its not Christmas without these two movies, though Fitzwillie isn't played much. Any seasonal movies for you guys out there?

My very best, most accurate load by far for the .357 is the 10 grains of Blue Dot with the Berry's Plated 125 grain bullet out of my Rossi 1892 clone. I have shot several thousand rounds of this at metallic silhouette and never a problem. I use a Lee crimp die. Wonder why the factory now tells me n...

Way back in the late 80's I shot one of my best groups ever out of an 8" heavy bbl Dan Wesson, using 9.9 BD pushing a cast 160swc. Three shots clustered into 3/4 and one flyer opened up to 1 3/4".

I pcs'd shortly after and never did any load development after that. - Brian

Years ago I re-evaluated my personal threat encounter level. I'm not a leo. I'm no longer in the military. I'm not going to be getting into gun fights across the street.

The tree has produced absolutely wonderful peaches since the first season after I planted it. Lots of small peaches about the size of a large apricot. Fabulous flavor, and all the tree rats and sparrows support my claim to great peaches. The tree is 5-6 years old, and I've never pruned it for the wi...

Yes, but also remember that when the deer is 100+yards away, the bullet is now impacting at pistol muzzle speeds.

A sample of one is no sample. Drop a few more deer with that load and come up with a base-line of performance. Read Paco's article about 357 in a rifle, is a whole different animal. - Brian

Yes it had been too long.
But without going into detail, it did me personally a lot of good to hear what Twyla and you had to share of your work in Mozambique.

Had my 450 since '82 or '83. The powder thrower is stained, but all works well. It's my main press, but then I'm more of a pistol shooter than rifle.

I have heard it said..."that if you want to eat it, use jacketed hollow points. If it wants to eat you, use hard cast."

And then there's the 10mm G-20 weight angle to maybe think about. Lots of fire power in a small package. -Brian

Also, read your Linebaugh, and act accordingly. There is quite a lot of pistol work in the article section. - Brian
