The Sinn 857 UTC sure is a good looking watch. YVK likes the 856 because it is more understated.

Since it is 50 minutes long, can someone post the Cliff Notes version. My recollection is that Phil shot a whole magazine of Buffalo Bore 147+ P hard cast through his 3953, or similar, S&W single...

Beautiful morning and we were out flying Cubs this morning. On the way back, I was announcing my position from the airport, when a guy came on the radio in a twin Cessna. After I asked how many...

VCDgrips got me into watches again, after 25 years of thinking a Casio ProTek is all I needed. YVK has been telling me about his Sinn non stop, although I note his latest watch was a Duro. Here he is...

I just stopped by the LGS to pick something up, and asked them about the 365 vs Glock pistol sales. They said they sell six 365 pistols for every Glock 19 and 10 365 pistols for every 43/48 they sell.

I hear QC mentioned a lot in connection with "Cohen P series pistols," but in my experience with over a dozen 226/229 9mm pistols over the last decade, I have not had a single issue. Compared to the...

The Glock 19 is still the single best do everything pistol. Most people want to EDC a smaller, "slimline" pistol, and the 365 family is clearly the leader of slimline pistols.

I don't have hard data, but my belief is that lightweight striker pistols, especially smaller/short barrel models, depend more on you holding the pistol firmly, than heavier hammer fired pistols. One...

A Wheeler laser sighter, a battery tester, and Fix it Sticks are the three essentials for a serious dot shooter. The Wheeler will pay for itself for initial sight in, trouble shooting and ongoing...

The LC and Lexus GX have AWD, which is attractive if you live in snow country. Otherwise, the 4Runner, LC and Lexus GX seem awfully close.

Not that sectional density is everything, but doesn't the 124 G9 load have better sectional density than the 165 grain .45 G9 load?

Pretty obscure, but unless something has changed, a G5 17 mag will not work in a 19X unless you change the base plate to a pre G5 baseplate or dremel the lip on the 19X frame.

The first oil change interval on our Sprinter van is 20,000 miles. Is that a bad idea?

All depends upon the country, the outfitter, and the animals hunted. I have hunted Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe for plains and dangerous game.

Honda Jet runway excursion -- 20 knot Xwind limit. Huh.

I think folks better but start saving up some extra revolver money for some interesting stuff in the future!

I think people are smarter than politicians/government thinks they are. Early adopters jumped on EV vehicles, but for primary vehicle use, 2023 was the year that idea smashed into a cliff as the...

I spent an enjoyable afternoon shooting with Darryl and Bryan. Darryl mostly was shooting his Ruger GP100 .357 and Bryan had a different J in each pocket.

Their revolvers were not the only classy...

While I am aware that EV vehicles have gone from being thought of as something cool to basically crap over the course of the last year, after sixteen months with an EV car, and ten months with an EV...

When I put a new optic on a handgun that I care about, like a competition pistol, I expect to refine the zero over four or five shooting sessions to get a zero that I am happy with, before I witness...

Quite the opposite -- shows how the Navy understands the importance of target focus!

That is an interesting option. The trade-off seems to be lower gas mileage (17 MPG) with a non-hybrid, more traditional power plant, versus a hybrid engine with 23 mpg and unknown, durability and...
