The .22 LCR from Ruger weighs in at 14.7 ounces and has 8 holes in the stainless steel cylinder…otherwise it’s the same as it’s .38 and .357 brothers, including the patented Friction Reducing Cam trigger system that gives the small-frame revolvers one of the best trigger pulls I’ve ever felt on a revolver of that [...]
Slacker! That’s me! I totally admit to slacking on the blog this summer. I know “work” sounds like the lame excuse it is, but it’s the best I can offer. I also made a commitment to turning myself into a better competitor instead of a “parachute shooter” — one who just drops in occasionally and [...]
In all probability, as has been reported by Snowflakes in Hell and No Lawyers, Only Guns & Money, the new DOJ rules requiring gun stores along the southern border to report certain multiple long gun sales will not survive legal scrutiny. The amazing thing to me is that the administration is sticking to its narrative, [...]
Years back — good grief, can it be almost a decade? — I stepped up to the podium at the largest hunting conclave ever to say that taxation without representation was still tyranny. I was speaking of the Pittman-Robertson funds, of course, derived from tax monies on guns, ammunition, components, etc. Those monies , in [...]
Yesterday was a weak point practice day on the range, mostly focusing on one-shot draws. I think one-shot draws are one of the basic building blocks of shooting… practice them a lot in dry fire, then go to the range to verify. I have another range session scheduled this week to work with Ruger Rimfire [...]
I picked up a really cool Sig Sauer P238 yesterday, the Diamond Plate version. Funky little monster, to be sure. As I’ve mentioned before, my pocket carry gun for years and years was a Colt Mustang redone by the now-defunct Scott, McDougal & Associates. It’s still one of the best .380s ever made (although Marshal [...]
Interesting piece in a Texas paper on the boom in suppressor sales: “Nationwide, more than 22,000 of these noise suppressors were sold this year — 9 percent more than last year — and the most were sold in Texas for at least the third year in a row, according to statistics released by the National [...]
Amazingly, there’s no snow left on the property surrounding the Secret Hidden Bunker in the Rocky Mountains! Ah…this must be what they call summer…I wonder how long it will last? Had a great weekend…my Sweetie and I shot the cowboy action shooting regional, Hell On Wheels, up in cowboy world in Cheyenne. It’s always a [...]
When Michael Bane picked up the Remington 1911 R1 for the first time, it felt like an old friend. One thing he has said repeatedly is that 1911s have the ability to be more than the sum of their parts. He has built 1911s from parts, and while they all launched bullets, none of them [...]
While I’ve been working I’ve overlooked some interesting firearms datapoints out there. Most interestingly, earlier this week MSNBC, never a friend of gun owners, ran a generally positive piece on concealed carry: In the 1980s and ’90s, as the concealed-carry movement gained steam, Americans were killed by others with guns at the rate of about [...]
