That is right.

It always amazes me that it takes the media 5 or 10 years to realize what most of us see right away.....

I discovered the cylinder gap blast on my own as a teenager with a Blackhawk 357.

I tried a fast draw and burned a hole in a lined flannel shirt.

Then later I tried adjusting the rear sight using a rolled-up Sears & Roebuck sleeping bag as a rest. Ripped a big burned hole in it.

Over thirty years ago now, a friend and I were hog hunting and set up on the edge of a 40 acre field. It was a clear night with no clouds and a big full moon. The moon was high and the field was lit up enough to see through the scope. No hogs in sight. But in the sky, looking south and up at about a...

Good idea. Thanks!

I am thinking about placing a small pouch with a snap down flap on the butt cuff to hold 5 or 6 rounds instead of the cartridge loops.

I've found that making a pattern or template is about 50% of any leather project.

Wow! Impressive work!

I make a few leather items too. Great hobby for making your own gear and forgetting about work for a while.

I want to try a butt cuff for a Winchester Trapper next.

Never tried that, but it looks tasty.

Many years ago, my friend and I were walking around an old pond shooting at turtles and snakes with our .22's.

I wore out a couple of Ruger MkII 22LR semi-autos in my youth. My favorite practice was to dump 500 rounds in my pockets and walk around in an old gravel pit. When a target of opportunity such as a tin can, dirt clod etc. caught my eye, I would draw, aim and fire. Over the many 1000's of rounds, I g...

what can they do that a regular oven and microwave can't?

A few years back, there was some talk about changing the Ole Miss Rebel mascot.

I called into a local AM talk show and suggested that they change the mascot to a Possum. Radio host asked why Possum?

I said, "Because they play dead at home and get killed on the road."
