    Colorado recall

    Having been a long time member of the NRA, I appreciate their efforts, who along with several other Pro 2nd Amendment Groups, contributed over $350,000.00 to counter the same amount allegedly spent by Bloomberg and his cronies to stop the recall. We need the same thing to happen in other States...

    Now this is a revolver

    LOL.... That part I knew. I was hoping for some more descriptive adjectives or some history. http://militaryhumor.net/til-there-was-an-8-barrel-shotgun-intended-for-military-and-police-use-in-the-late-1960s/# A 20 gauge, Colt Defender Mark I

    A day at the home range (with pictures)

    Note bad. I had one back on a farm in the late 90's that was similar. Except I used some logs and loads of sand to enforce the rear berm.

    BOATLIFT - An untold tale of 9/11 resilience

    Thanks Skip. American resilience and, sticking together and helping folks get through some dark times, aren't things the Media dwells on.

    Held a Ruger 1911..

    LOL. Been there and done that regarding the need for an attorney. Fortunately the now Ex-wife has a career of her own, a separate pension, 401K and enough of her own money. She didn't want the house, or the other one either, so I kept both. She kept her money and I kept mine and we walked.

    How reliable is an AR-15 when treated badly?

    Interesting video. Talk about weapons abuse. Back in the day I lugged around an M-16/GAU for years in various climatic weather conditions with constant exposure to heat, dust, artic like or monsoon weather. I never had any problems because I took care to ensure the weapon was properly...

    Kahr-Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine .30 ML

    My father had a WWII M-1 Carbine, which I shot on numerous occasions. As far as this one goes I'm looking forwards to giving her a work out.

    Kahr-Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine .30 ML

    Thanks guys. For sometime I've been looking for a WWII or Korea one but just haven't been able to find one for a reasonable price. When this little jewel came along I just had to do the deed. I've been scouting around for ammo for her with little luck. But I'm in no hurry.

    Kahr-Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine .30 ML

    I got a phone call yesterday afternoon as I was driving back into town from a visit to Kentucky. A local gun shop had a Kahr Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine 30 ML for sale. This morning I drove over and did a little negotiating. These puppies normally go for around $800.-$900.00. This one was in...

    I was out making the rounds yesterday and ran into a Davis Industries Model D-25, .25 ACP Caliber Derringer. It’s a two shot model.

    A little knowledge for all semi-auto (and revolver) owners.

    My hats off to Nomad for posting these videos. Also thanks to SkipD for the combination and posting of them as a single sticky. Good stuff for beginners and a reminder to us old folks who have been at it for sometime and recall a few ouch moments of our own.
