Reloader's Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, cold, dark and foreboding, as I sat at the workbench, quite busy reloading. The empties from autumn were polished so clear for primers and powder, and bullets from Speer and Sierra boat-tails, and Nosler's Partitions (My bench ain't no place for brand name omissions!...

Re: Can a leftie learn to shoot right handed?

" Now, almost automatically, the relevant eye, that closest to the sights, picks them up. Magic..." I would not have thought that was possible. Thanks for the story. My master eye changes from left to right by itself whenever it feels the urge. This can really screw things up when shootin...

Re: Lubricants 😵‍💫

I was sucked into the frog lube and had to convert all my guns back…what a mistake that was. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I caught the Frog Lube sales guy running a con at the Mesa Gun Show years ago. He stopped Mrs. Flash and told her how the lube was so slippery even she could rack a 1911 with ease. He gave it to her a...

Re: Phoenix officer who shot, killed Ryan Whitaker reinstated

Clyde, The Police Unions have spent years telling the public how dangerous the job is in order to generate more pay, higher benefits and so on for the Union membership. People have blindly believed it for so long it's essentially become gospel. It's like what psychologists call "the illusion of...

Re: Woman Graduates Army Sniper Course for the First Time

I keep thinking about the thread on Arfcom a couple of years ago where a guy's sister went to Master At Arms School in the Navy and got Expert Marksman Medals with both rifle and handgun. He was mystified and took her out to shoot with him. He took an AR and a Beretta (the same as she qualified with...

Re: Hearing protection with mufflers?

I just don't see spending all that scratch, and still having to wear hearing protection. THE VERY REASON I bought my sound moderators is to enjoy nature without having all that crap in/around my ears. I mean, why spend all that dough when you have to endure blowback AND still have to wear that s***...

Re: Hearing protection with mufflers?

However, when shooting a suppressed .22, with subsonic ammunition (and no other shooters shooting at the same time), it is a total hoot to listen to the Hollywood quietness, when you can hear the sound of the firing pin hitting the rim. Yep, the one caliber that you can shoot indoors without hearin...

Re: Phoenix officer who shot, killed Ryan Whitaker reinstated

It was around midnight and I was watching a movie on TV. In those days I carried outside the house, but almost never inside the house. I now carry anytime I'm awake. Anyway, for some reason I put a gun on the coffee table and it was there when the doorbell rang. I got up, put it in my rear pocket an...

Re: Phoenix officer who shot, killed Ryan Whitaker reinstated

I got thinking about this thread some more while I was peeling and deveining tonight's shrimp. I've had the police come to my door twice, the FBI once. The first time the police came it was one guy, a cop who was dressed as a Sheriffs Department guy and I had a gun in my hand just out of his view. T...

Re: Phoenix officer who shot, killed Ryan Whitaker reinstated

I am as contemptuous of bad cops as anybody, and there are plenty of them, but IMO, that one was a righteous shoot, and the cop should get his job and his life back. It was such a great shoot they paid the family 3 million. And the family of Michael Brown ("Hands up. Don't shoot.") got a ...
