A “norther” is simply a cold front. A “blue norther” is a strong cold front, that clears the skies, and gets us really cold. Well, at least in this part of Texas. Texas is large enough to have five...
The NWS has determined that it was a tornado in the Cypress area, where we have seen the twisted and toppled power line towers.
It is interesting to see and hear the statements of folks who say...
I was already thinking AI or deepfake. A dog’s face was grafted onto a marsupial body. If nothing else, the teeth gave it away.
A meteorologist being interviewed on public radio, this morning, said that it may have been a derecho, a straight-line wind, that would normally blow at higher altitude, at about 120 MPH, but, due to...
Well, here ya go:

I noticed that this slammed into SW Louisiana shortly after it hit the Houston area. Calling revchuck … How are you, sir?
Enjoy! :)
Yesterday, I saw the blued-steel, .45 ACP sibling of your sixgun, at an LGS. I was sorely tempted to pull out the credit card. I was already there to pick up an on-line purchase, a Ruger...
Yes, it did. Very little warning. A rather ho-hum thunderstorm had been predicted, on the two weather apps I was monitoring. The sudden severity of this one became apparent with very little warning,...
.22 WMR for bear defense? Well, OK, I am ready:

Just picked it up today. Ruger Single Six,...
Yes, I, too, read this, somewhere along the way, and “listened.” I have some few boxes of the higher-tier/+P ammo, but, it is relegated to lever-action carbine use. Unless it is particularly...
Every time I think that I have finally escaped being tempted by the G34, y’all pull me back in… ;)
Of course, as many G17 pistols as I have, I could buy a G34 upper unit, rather than an entire...

Well, I just ordered a pre-owned, stainless Ruger Single Six, 5.5”, .22 WMR. No .22 LR cylinder. My other single action sixguns being .45, I had long planned to add a smaller bore.
Of the two, I would definitely go with 10mm. I wrecked my K/L-Frame-sized hands, especially my right hand, in the Eighties, first and worst with a 4” S&W Model 629, then with .41 Magnum Model 58 and...
Subscribed. Astigmatism is my nemesis, with most dot sights. Corrected or uncorrected. The Trijicon green triangle worked well, in my case, but only in appropriate lighting conditions; not best for...
I do have to be careful, because, well, Collectors Firearms is in nearby Houston, and, they have a lay-away plan. Someday, I would like to add a more-or-less birth-year SAA, which means...
The “Westerns” on TV did not influence my youthful mind to desire single-action sixguns and lever-action rifles, so, I was late in buying my first, which was a US Patent Firearms Single Action, in...

If one ALWAYS has a flagged thumb, covering the hammer, during the draw, and during reholstering, a modest-sized hammer spur is not an impediment. I am as likely to pocket carry my spurred SP101 and...
Not that I can recall. If so, not for about 50 years. I think that my mother may have bought something like that, for me, when I was a kid. I think it was a t-shirt, not a jersey.
We are well-set. The AR/M4 system is totally optional, for us. We have several, but do not “need” them.
Benelli M2, 12 gauge. (Have two, one with ghost ring sights. Realistically, I could get by,...
“Drop-in” barrels CAN require fitting. The “few” failures to go into battery reinforce this statement. Regardless, this adds a variable.
“USPSA Carry Optics” means that it is a match game/sport...
I never received a ballot, but, can hope that the reform candidates may get something done. (I am a Life Member, so should have received a ballot. I opted-out of receiving magazines, quite some time...
(Deep Sigh.) I keep telling myself, “Self, you have a bum “strong side” shoulder, and a retiree’s budget. NO swords. Pole arms, perhaps, but, no swords…”
