    Yes. I saw the light traffic on the bridge and thought that it was a really lucky break at the time of day. It sounds like some transportation workers got the traffic shut down, too. if this had...

    Not Stephanie, but I did plenty of time on Special Sea Detail.

    The main focus on a US Navy or Coast Guard vessel is to stay “left of bang” and not become a vessel “not under command” at such a...

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

    I'm firmly in the camp that for large predator defense, we're better off with hardcast, WFN or SWC .44/.45 bullets that weigh 230 to 250 grains in the 1000 to 1100 fps...

    Concur. The XS Standard dot is still pretty big compared to most sights that have a dot in them.

    I just bought a First Lite Omen I'm pretty happy with, but the caveat is we haven't moved into full-on PNW wet weather yet.

    They have a 20% veteran discount, so there's that.

    The easy button for a J-frame with good sights is a 640 Pro. I can’t say I can hit an 8” plate at 50 yards every time, but I do it often enough it’s not happenstance.

    I've got some mild hand arthritis I'm trying to keep from getting worse. My 638 is strictly a wadcutter-only gun nowadays.

    Why stop there?

    You could have one frame, two slides, and barrels in 10mm, .40 S&W, .357 Sig, 9x25 Dillion, .45 ACP, .460 Rowland, and .400 Corbon, all in a fitted Halliburton hard case.

    Looks like it was hanging out for about six hours.

    I feel like there's a pretty good chance somebody in my family would say "hey! I think that's a cougar track." It most likely would be my...

    Dude.

    This is a variation of the “I never let anyone get that close to me” argument that people use as a handwave when they just like to shoot guns but don’t want to train anything else.
