Out of their collective minds. Handling WWII munitions ain't for the uninitiated. They should have had a good EOD guy on hand.

Well not a "pocket" knife, but this one is my current favorite. In the fancy class.

With the rise in aids and such, CPR sure has changed. Back in the old days, when air got into the victims stomach, I don't care how good you are, it happens, the victim would regurgitate. That matter had to be removed, and the old finger swipe didn't always do the trick. Sometimes suction would be n...

Good morning When you are riding a M3A4 Stuart with 4 caliber 30 Brownings and a 37mm cannon it is not a real issue what your side arm is. Sadly though, as good as General Patton was with tactics and understanding of the role of Armor.. he overlooked the value of "Blending In with the surround...

Back in the 70s when I lived in california I had a buddy actively looking to find one that he hoped General Patton had buried in the mohave dessert on training. He had me fly him low and slow looking for small spots of vegatation unlike the surrounding area. He theorised that the buried tank would ...

I went to redo my senior first aid course a few months ago, and that was the way we were told to do it as well. Check for obvious signs of life and if they are not present, start pumping, don't stop pumping till you get an obvious sign of life. Forget about the pulse, if their alive they will cough...

Sounds good. Resuscitation has come along way since I first learned DPR in the 60's. Changes in CPR, and more importantly the prevalence of easy to use automatic defibrillators do offer better odds of survival. But the Docs made a good point that the person is already dead.

I just pulled it out of my pocket (notice the lint) to take a picture. This is one of the current and available S&W 442 without a lock. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i155/drwalker70/sw442.jpg A wonderful example of why a pocket holster is needed. Keeps lint, and other debris to a minimum.

A few designs have "covered" hammers that leave a very small amount of the hammer exposed. Not enough to cause problems with the draw, but with practice you can cock the hammer. But truthfully, if you need a pocket gun, cocking the hammer probably won't be in the offing. But to answer your...

5 shot .38. Pick the flavor of your choice, be it blued steel, stainless steel or one of the lightweight materials. Either a bobbed or "hamerless" design works best for pocket carry. Make sure you get a good pocket holster. They keep your revolver gunk free and in the proper position to dr...

Don't know what the handgun is, but I know where he is. The California/Arizona desert during the training maneuvers in the early part of WWII. They have a pretty good museum near Indio, California. Since dad (Sixth "Super Sixth" Armored divison) didn't like him very much, I thought it woul...

Notice no faces are showing. In our current politically correct military, if they were identified, they'd be court martialed for having a sense of humor.

Shades of Romancing the Stone. I like the idea, but wonder how easy it would be for someone with realtively short arms to draw the rifle.

I heard talk today that due to one of the Quakes a Tsunami will hit Hawaii sometime tomorrow! Hope it will not be serious if it is indeed true. Done happened.

Elmendorf! Once was enough. BRRRR. I'm a SoCal kid. Thank heavens it was a very short stay. About as much fun as Ramstein AFB on July 4th 1975. Trying to watch fireworks in the rain for heavens sake. And they sent me there from sunny Spain. The military mind just boggles the imagination.

jeepnik

Ted, I understand. I've never gotten my wife interested in such things. There is a way, however, it can be expensive. When the boys were yound, I would just send her off to shop, while we did the fun stuff. Kept peace in the family, but like I said sometimes it got expensive. :mrgreen: By the way, i...

Well, I'm an 1860 Army fan. But here is my favorite of the bunch.

jeepnik

That engine is on a scenic line. Looking at older photos or engines they don't have an air coupling hose sticking through the plow blade. I think it may have been added after it was moved to scenic serivce, possibly to aid in moving thnings around the yard.

Back when newgroups were the thing, one binary group was for steam trains.

To really appreciate J.M.B. you need to see the display section devoted to him at the Bill Cody Firearms Museum (sp). They had many diagrams and prototypes of his work.

How would one get FMJ ammo for a .444 or a 30/30? Using anything else would be a war crime. The restrictions on FMJ ammo are from the Hague Accords. It only applies only when "both" combatants are engaged in a "declared" war, and both are signatories of the accord. Obviously, Vi...

Looks like the "sculptor" inverted a negative.

Either that or Ole JW was a lefty that had a custom made handgun.

Oh, the York, Pa. at the bottom pretty much says he's a wanna be in a photo studio.

A "fan" of Mr. Browning. Heck I'm here because of Mr. Browning. I'm not a "fan", a true believer in the man.

That is one slick looking set up. And, you can shoot it all day everyday without recoil and not alot of money. I do love .22's, and rifles like this are just a joy to behold.

jeepnik

John, I had an orange and white that thought it was sport to take out our scrub jays. He'd crouch low and let them make a few passes. They'd get over confident and he'd strike. He"d launch himself straight up, roll over in mid air, grab the jay and land back on his feet. Then it was lunch time....

I generally prefer short to snubby barrels on my handguns. But there is something about that 8" barrel on my M-1851 that makes it point so well it is ridiculous. i thought that the M-1862 Pocket Police and M-1862 Navy used the same grip frame as the M-1851, and the main change was the ratchet-...

For "woods" guns, I tend to stay away from autos. Not that they wouldn't work, but a revolver just seems more natural to me. But, if I were to carry an auto, it would be a 1911, or if the 9mm was the required round, it would be a Hi-Power. I have to agree with the Col. with regard to doubl...

Whatever you do, DON'T use mink oil. Don't ask, but it wasn't pretty.

I really don't want to get into another caliber.....When the Charter Arms .45acp revolver (no clips needed) comes out, I'll give that one a real hard look. I'll second that. I picked up a Southpaw and have been happy. I'll take a .45 Bulldog even if it's maed for those not in their right mind. :wink:

jeepnik

Well now, it just dawned on me that there are speed strips for the .45 Colt. Bianchi makes them. So, for the .45 Colt as used in any .45 Colt chambered handgun, there is a speed "loader". I could spend the time to look and see if anything like that would work for the .45 acp, but why, it's...

jeepnik

Oh, I guess I'm a Trans-actional. I'll use either SA or DA. I don't see any speed advantage in either when dealing with heavy recoiling revolvers. If they weren't so darned large, one of the Wildeys or an old Automag would work as well.

jeepnik

Sad thing is, it has probably happened.

jeepnik

Well now. I've never even considered using a 1911 mag as a loader for a .45 acp Blackhawk. So, I just tried it. You know, with a bit of practice, I figure I could reload alot faster. Shucking the empties won't get any faster, but you're right about just slipping them out of the mag and into the cyli...

Now you've got to bring up a sore spot. Many moons ago I had one in my hands and was all set to buy it. But, thinking about the kids, the mortgage and so on stopped me.

I have one of the original CA Bulldogs. I've looked at today's. The earlier ones were better made, then again most things were. Howver, I also have one of the .38 Southpaws. It's at least equal to the earlier Bulldog.
