"...and I hope none of us ever have to fire in anger..." A hearty Amen to that! But I'll be ready, just in case... After our military match today, I fired the l'il Kahr at water-filled jugs at 5 yards, 4 of them lined up in a row (about 9" deep each). The bullet demolished the first ...

RR7, I must be (un?) lucky, as it's happened twice to me... First time was way back in the 80's, while calling fox with my brother. I was using a mouth-blown call and he could see me where we were set up... He saw the owl come out of the trees to dive-bomb on me and it turned away at the last second...

Some of you may remember an old post of mine about a real "Mouse Gun", the .22 semi-auto Taurus P22 that I'd gotten awhile ago. At the time, I figured the .22 I was carrying would be better than the .357 I wasn't... She shot and handled great. But truth be told, that one didn't stay in my ...

Maybe the truck did hit the bridge, but I'm thinkin' the convertible was not there...

Which of you two owns the gold purse / handbag on the table? I hope it's for carry ammo to the range... Maybe they're "under cover" and that's camouflage for that region... I met up with JReed once, and you guys are right, meeting other LG's face-to-face is a REAL treat. Cheers! Old No7
