    Now this is a revolver

    Another one of those what the heck was he thinking things? 8 cylinders, 48 rounds total, in a percussion pistol no less. If you've ever fired a Cap & Ball Blackpowder Revolver, and had a chain fire, where each chamber in a goes off at the same time imagine this one going boom. Especially with...

    Ready for a trip to Walmart?

    You really have to watch that Wal Mart Crowd. Day before yesteday I went over to get one of those small $7.00 tube cleaning kits for a friend. You known those kind of kits that sell at the LGSs for double the price. Anyway as I coming out of the store in a blinding down pour of rain, in a...

    Gonna shoot 100 rds this weekend. What SD drills should I practice?

    LOL.... I like just putting up a few tin cans and knocking them off a fence post or a log. Since you've specified a pocket carry, let us say that you've got the drawing technique for getting it up and out into use all worked out in your head, spent some time at practice (with an unloaded...

    SR22 - It took me by surprise

    Not bad. I've put a few rounds down range with one and they're great shooters. Funny reading about the way you describe your initial reaction to picking it up and just had to get it. I've gone through some of that stuff. Two worse cases of it were when I picked up a Kimber 1911 and a Ruger...

    When to CC?

    I routinely check my SC State Laws for little changes that the Politicians like to make. In SC a person who can legally own a hand gun can ride around with it inside their vehicle, as long as it's properly stored as defined by State Law. They go up the driveway at a school to pick up a srudent...

    When to CC?

    Been there and done that. The first 8 years I was in the Post Office I worked out at the airport. The parking lot belonged to the airport and since it was away from the passenger terminal area and any aircraft areas, there was no prohibition on having a gun in your vehicle. They closed the...

    When to CC?

    Glad you had the ephipany...I'm sitting in the den on the computer, there a gun in the shelf on my desk. I keep one around handy, just sitting around the house, short of a shower of course. I'm glad you brought up the subject though, about getting it all sorted out in your head and giving it...
