I remember the Dwyer Group Gripper. Put one in my 1911 as well in the early 90s. Your friend and I must have read the same magazine. I don't recall noticing much of an effect.

You and me both brother. I can clearly recall seeing Apocalypse Now in the theater with my parents. I was 9.
The horror. The horror.
My condolences, but trust me on this. At this point it's best to just let it go.
Remember the Cadillac Cimarron?
And while we're at it, I've never been an Elvis fan, and while I think Willie Nelson is a national treasure of rare genius I loathe his recording of Always on My Mind, I think the Pet Shop Boys'...
Belushi had a real gift for gentle parody that paid respectful homage to the original. Along with his Joe Cocker bit, I'm thinking of his portrayal of Beethoven morphing into Ray Charles - which was...
P229.
I'm once again reminded why I love this place. I can pretty much guarantee no one I actually know in "real life" has ever seen Primer or The Hole. I'll toss out a much more well known movie with a...
I've never tried a V2, but the LEM really clicked for me when I replaced the light trigger return spring in my V1 with the medium weight spring and at the same time put in the light firing pin block...
Exactly. Compare the model 721/722 to a pre-64 Model 70. Remington was way ahead of Winchester in this regard; it took Winchester years to realize they needed to go cheap or go broke. My...
Some good input on knives here already; I'll second the emphasis on sharpness and size. I'd rather dress a deer with a knife that's "too small" than one that's too big. You'll be working blind with...
No. 5 MK 1 would nicely split the difference there.
Exactly. Complicating matters was the fact that my uncle did actually have a 99 in his gun cabinet - a 99C in .243, which even I looked down my nose at because without the rotary magazine it wasn't a...
You touched a nerve with that one. My greatest "one that got away" regret, one that still haunts me, is the one I passed on 40 years ago as a teenager shopping for my first deer rifle. A mint...
Some tortuously passive construction in that CNN article:
"Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza injured when a gun held by Baldwin fired a live round during a scene...
And his pocket full of fun.
That nickel/gold one would be just the thing to wear to a Roaring 20s themed party dressed as a Prohibition-era pimp. I'm having a hard time not wanting it.
That buck deserved better.
I think an even bigger misconception that most people have when it comes to crimininality is the assumption that criminals get caught because some element of their plan (simple minded though it may...
I posted a few back on the first page if this magnificent thread but I just remembered another favorite, Nouvelle Vague's cover of Billy Idol's Dancing With Myself. Wildly different in style, it...
Astute observation and well put. I honestly don't like the Disturbed version at all, and I think your analogy explains it.
100 percent agreement on Joe Cocker's cover of With a Little Help From My Friends. Takes an annoyIngly glib little throwaway ditty and imbues it with so much heavy emotion.
Another one from that...
I always got the impression he enjoyed his life and his work.
My favorite workhorse is the TWSBI Eco. Piston-filler, huge ink capacity, sturdy, very reliable and not at all fussy, for around $25. Clear body lets you see how much ink's in there, and what color....
Looks like he might have had some time to realize what was happening and reflect on his life choices. :)
