Slide wracking is tough too, but my current CCW came with steel Vickers sights, so belt wracking is an option. Just need to not shoot my leg. Also, I'm under a regional pain blocker at the moment. Once that wears off at 0130 tomorrow, I'll take my other pain meds. I might find I should not be opera...

Just FYI, I expect parts of the US will shift to a South African model of de-funded public police and a robust private security sector which guards the rich and culls the cream of the Public Police crop with better pay, better benefits, and better working conditions. Just my personal opinion, but I...

Bottom line takeaway from all this? It's best if you don't live near any political figure or celebrity because one day you might find yourself sitting on the edge of "ground zero" of a mob's attention. If you do find yourself sitting there, don't make yourself a secondary target. Let "sit down, shu...

Well, just got surgery on my hand, so time to use the non-dominant hand for shooting for the next 2 weeks or more likely, 2 months. Thank goodness for pistols. I'd sure like an arm brace right now, but oh well. Good luck, it always feels weird. You may need to adjust your sights as well. I find tha...

One can hope! That's the main reason I keep a .40 cal around, for those times that cheap police and alphabet agency surplus ammo hits the market. And agencies have been stocking up in record numbers in recent years, it would be nice for shooters if police get defunded and have to sell some of that ...

Ha, sorry for the triple post! I must have hit quote instead of edit when I went back to adjust spelling. Should be sorted now. [edit] Also, I wanted to add that a reasonable person could debate whether a government official reading off the names and addresses of people who criticized her proposed ...

jam pic https://i.imgur.com/30ePw1D.jpg?1 I wonder what sanding the inside of the mag would do, just in that jam prone area. I wonder if it would open it a bit and reduce friction? But if the rounds work with, say, 7 round in and it is not until the last 1-2 rounds come up that it jams, it makes se...

I really wanted an H&R for a really small budget and could not find it for the price I wanted. The price difference between a Henry single shot and a Rossi in .357 Mag is too small for me to go for the Henry, and the weight of a Rossi is fantastic. I think the Henry's are $350, and a Rossi can be h...

So, my wife's pregnant, and has been blatantly suggesting a "push present" is in order ... She has strongly indicated an interest in her own lever action (after I bought and customized my Mares Leg). We own a small piece of hunting property in northern Ontario. My wife has an over under 12 gauge. I...

Of note, I have a raging sore throat. For some reason going from moist and humid College Station to dry and dusty Abilene seems to do that to me.

Actually, that was all good info for me too. I'm going to Abilene late July for a wedding on Aug 1.

I think Rossi has 45LCs too. My LGS has them in stock. They can be smoothed out.

I lost one of my jobs during this covid mess and got my hours cut at the other than my woman got laid off too so I had to sell most of my guns to keep up on bills..totally blows but I just started at a somewhat decent paying job, might just go revolvers and leverguns...god im getting old My revolve...

Pretty sure I marked this one on my bingo card back in the 60s...

Yeah, in the 1990's we started a new round. Didn't you get your new card?

I'm guessing it's really rooted in fear of throwing together an inneffective adhoc system too fast, or just childish fools looking for reasons to throw tantrums. Someone that truly understands an issue will understand those voting different than them, and be able to interact with those others in a ...

I'll be in Iowa for as long as it's tenable. Some parts of the PNW & the SE CONUS look good.

It's a fluid thing, atm.

The experience of friends suggests northern New Mexico might be worth looking at.

People like to talk about wars and such. This is the type of stuff I think can actually cause a world wide problem. Sat Jan 04, 2020 8:38 pm The first reply to @absinthe beginner's OP to this thread. Astutely noted, @woodsghost. You called it. As of today, less than six months after your post the e...

...and I just realized I can keep tuning the antenna.... cuz 430.000 is longer than 440.000.... this is so non-intuitive.

Wait until you get into hentennas.

F$@k.

Got the SWR at my intended range down to 1.17. So good enough.

Built my first *working* antenna!!! I used a BNC/Banana post connector, 14 ga stranded wire, and ring connectors. About as simple as this can get. I made a quarter wave antenna with a ground plane. If one has seen a "jungle antenna" one knows exactly what I made. I worked on 70cm, and got the SWR on...
