I started Nineteen-Elevening at age 21, when I became legally eligible to start buying handguns, in late 1982 or very early 1983. Had I not started working for a PD, and then continued LEO-ing for...

I started Nineteen-Elevening at age 21, when I became legally eligible to start buying handguns, in late 1982 or very early 1983. Had I not started working for a PD, and then continued LEO-ing for...
I am centuries removed from my Scottish ancestors, so, cannot claim to know how a Scot would pronounce “Glasgow,” but one thing for certain is that the female actor is NOT saying it anywhere near...
I saw a video of my then-wife-to-be braining a feral hog, with her S&W Model 66. While it was shot over bait, and was more like pest eradication than hunting, that was some shootin’!...
I guess that I have disremembered stupid things I have heard at gun ranges. I did learn that I had to have a thick skin, and infinite patience, when I walked into a gun shop, while in police uniform....
The safety does look interesting; I hope that SIG did, indeed, get it right. I do not live in a “ban” state, and my retiree’s budget does not easily accommodate much experimenting with new firearms,...
I think that I like this, unless it is cost-prohibitive. I would, likely, get that stock off of it, on Day One, and install something better, assuming that it is an unaltered SGA stock, such that the...
Good news!
I opted-out of unnecessary killing of trees, so, selected no magazines. I still get their propaganda, in envelopes; I guess “paperless” is not an option.
In this case, two turned, for the state, against H.G.-R., in exchange for lighter treatment. The Assistant Director got the plea deal, and the other, a female, was granted immunity. Again, I am not...
Well, if I ever see a ballot, I will vote. Whether the NRA is failing to send the ballot forms, or the USPS is managing to lose them, I have not seen a ballot form, in years, in spite of being a life...
I hope that Louisiana legislators were careful to avoid writing compromises into other parts of the law. Notably, the Texas legislature threw much long gun freedom under the bus, in an apparent...
Yep. There is a longer version on the yute-tube.
True. I do not disagree with the verdict. Being sloppy and/or careless is not OK just because one is surrounded by others who are sloppy or careless.
And, a case is not lost, just because the...
Well, the verdict has been returned. Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter. Not Guilty, for the other charge, which was something like obstruction. The jury deliberated for just over two hours.
I...
Well, to get back to the original topic, the closing arguments presented by the defense:

One interestingly compelling argument, by the defense, was...
Faeces book?
Another thought: If I were not, already, wearing my holster at or a bit forward of the hip, OWB, I might want to wear an OWB holster there, specifically for the job of holding the pistol in a...
I did learn, from listening to testimony, that dummy ammo tends to fall from actors’, extras’, and stunt players’ belts and bandoliers, and that actors, extras, and crew will tend to steal dummy...
I was wondering about this matter, too. The live-fire shooting being discussed, while the PDQ* owner was under oath, happened far away, at a totally different time, near the 1883 set, at a shooting...
I write lefty, so, using that criteria, I would probably opt for the Glock G17, Gen4 or Gen5. Gen3 would be a step down, in fitting my hands, and the larger grip volume makes the Gen3 better handled...
This has been an educational read. Thanks!
Having been retired from LEO-ing for six years, I have not been actively following the WML trends, but now that I know and understand the advantages of...
Every bit of hand support is normally a desirable feature. A G19 is long enough, along the front strap, for all of my skinny fingers, but, though my hands are narrow, they are long, so, the “heel” of...
Thanks for the link. I had seen these on the website of an LGS, but there were no details, so, I could not determine whether the slides were fully milled, or whether there was any type of adapter...
An influencer has got to influence. I accept that, and largely ignore the influencing.
I bought a G19 MOS, which wore an RMR long enough for me to know that I like the concept, though that RMR was...
I am glad that this worked. “Video-or-it-didn’t-happen” becomes “Wow, it did happen…”
The only weapon system that is “safe” to handle, with the index finger within the trigger guard, is a...
