4 days of removing wood privacy fence and chain link fence for the son is behind me. Should have been two days, but the wife convinced me to hire her unemployed adult nephews. What a disaster. I'm paying them and I have to do the work they seem to not be able to accomplish without direct...

I don't shoot at indoor ranges, so I go pretty minimalist. One of the Bass Pro utility bags with a shoulder strap is all I take for matches and casual shooting. Tools and timers in the side pockets, ammo and mags in the main compartment.

We missed the tornado's in North Central by a couple miles, but drove through Southern Okla where an EF-4 destroyed Marietta along I-35 on our way home from Dallas. The destruction was incredible. Semi's tossed around like matchsticks at the Dollar Store distribution warehouse. The huge building...

As earlier posted mine has been in NFA jail since December. Now I'm hearing some are being approved at suppressor dealers in weeks, not months. Obviously, those still in jail are not getting the quick turn around the new sales are. Why, I can't say.

My 1911's are in .45 ACP or 10mm. Unless at a BBQ event where one carries open in a fine hand tooled leather holster, they sport 10 round Tripp Cobra magazines. One in the tube and ten in the mag doesn't make me feel short on ammo for defensive purposes. Of course they don't conceal well with...

Welcome to 1911 Fanatics!

We had to attend a funeral in Denton Tx over the weekend and went to visit the son, dil and grandkids. On the way back we had to travel through Marietta Ok where the F4 tornado destroyed part of the town. We were detoured through town off of I-35 which followed the path of the tornado. My...

That Weatherby brass is certainly much tougher with that belt. Glad you caught it.

Thought that dumbass was trying to eliminate the small business owner?

My Custom Target II does not have that Swartz safety. Evidently, some lawyer influenced the makers of Kimber to include that in some models. Lots of Kimber 1911's out there without one.

I saw the CMP had received some M1 Garands in .308 that had been issued to the Navy that will be up for sale soon. Only one issue. The first models had a bushing installed in the throat to make up for the difference in the .308 and the 30-06. They are listed as unsafe to fire. The second model...

Decided to ride the 4 wheeler to the sandbar on the river today and do a little catfishing in a deep hole I know of. It was such a nice day that I really didn't care if anything bit the bait or not. Love the isolation and quiet. Never see another soul. Did manage to catch three channel cat though.

I shot it too. Kurt and Trapper are still around, but not putting many matches of this caliber on here lately.

Did I hear correctly that Taurus now has a plant in Georgia? I was working in the shop today with some gun program going on in the background on the TV when I heard something like that?
