Having now seen at least 2 ammo shortages that lasted well over a year, I am in favor of having options that save me time and ammo at the range.
I do have laser bore sight devices in various...
George Zimmerman is an excellent example. How many people thought they “knew” he was guilty based on the preliminary news reports? We learned the truth later because he had a good lawyer, who will...
Knew he was guilty? How?
How is anyone ever supposed to get a competent defense if their attorney decides not to do their job as well because they decide that they “know” their client is guilty?...
Adding one more point to this list: after sitting through a 9 month trial, I cannot imagine a single juror not being very highly motivated to reach a verdict as quickly as possible to end that...
My new 1911 holster is Tony's normal quality. If you need a holster I would check the list to see if anyting matches your needs.
How does one look through the wrong end of a scope and not realize something is wrong?!
Is someone deliberately trying to destroy the credibility of our military?
We are in deep trouble.
I have owned several supposedly waterproof watches without screw down crowns, and with only one exception, every single one has had water leak into it. At least about half a dozen of them leaked the...
As a result, people go scuba diving with Datejusts without problems.
I have read that theory before. However, the number of failures of water resistance I have seen with push-pull crowns is significant, and includes only one exception. The number of failures I have...
I have seen watches rated as high as 200m with push-pull crowns. The manufacturers claim the watches can handle it. I prefer a screw-down crown.
Was that supposed to be waterproof?
If that is a watch you would like to keep, get it to Hamilton or to a watchmaker ASAP. That water will take its toll.
One more point while the water resistance discussion is not too far upthread:
Do not ever replace a bezel or crystal with an aftermarket part and expect water resistance to remain intact.
Perhaps a lot depends on what we consider to be bright.
I have tritium sights on a North American Arms Guardian with inserts that are well over 10 years old (miniature Novak sights using...
If the goal is being memorable . . . maybe they succeeded . . . for better or worse.
When my wife and I were first married, we both had Luminox watches. The tritium in mine was generally usable for about 15 years, and by then something else in the movement had also stopped working. ...
The problem with tritium watches, unlike tritium sights, is that the tritium is difficult or impossible to replace when it goes dim. Tritium is really nice, but the amount I would be willing to...
Actual testing for the vast majority of waterproof watches is done using air pressure. Rolex watches are tested using water pressure, with the movement removed. You want a higher rating than you...
This was popular with some Kel-Tec shooters in past years. I have no personal experience but am thinking of trying it.

Finally had a chance to read the study.
First of all, I commend the authors for trying. There is value in trying ot come up with some general guidelines for athletes with special needs and their...
As pointed out above, things can and will break if you are shooting the gun. Reducing the number of guns to less than 2 would be unwise for that reason. Many would consider 4 guns to be relatively...
My reasoning is very similar, but my choices would be a Glock 26 or Sig P365 original model.
Normally Knife Rights is good but I have to agree. The definition of weapon at the end refers to this:

The narrower definitions apply to...
Glenn, thank you for posting this. As an industrial engineering graduate and the parent of a son with special needs, I am always interested in what works for people with disabilities.
Be VERY careful about the glasses you buy to view the eclipse. Fakes are out there and WILL NOT prevent eye damage.
