Among our dearest friends are two "Okies", members of Cherokee Nation. We are happy to have you on this forum. Ralph

1991 Colt "Double Eagle" Lightweight Officer's ACP in .45ACP caliber.

Walther CCP-M2 single stack 9mm in Falco belt pouch. My EDC weapon, If I take the Colt Double Eagle Lightweight Officers ACP, .45, I have to dress over it. Easier to wear what I please and carry the Walther in the Falco "in plain sight". Everyone assumes the Falco case holds a phone or a...

I recently declined to renew my subscription to "Guns & Ammo" magazine. Although it's a very good magazine, I was sick of being bombarded with news of the latest plastic pistols, black and all metal rifles and information on the wondrous new calibers that would obviate the desire for the...

Mkke : That is great! So well stated. Made me stop and think about our heritage. I love the old quote from an unknown author, "The British tried to take away our guns. We shot them". To modern US gun confiscators, I call their attention to George Santayana's sage comment, "Those who...

If my dog looked like that I'd shave its ass and make it walk backwards.

1903 Springfield and M-1 Rifle. The latter I used during my (peacetime) Marine Corps service. The former (I have two custom sporters) for nostalgia remembering Marines of WWI and the 1930s "Banana Wars". I'll have to add the Browning Automatic Rifle M-1918 to fully date myself. Ralph

Mike, Elmer Keith always favored big, slow bullets. Elmer's gone, but his fascination lingers on in me and most others on this forum.

I love my stainless Mini-30. It shoots easy and reminds me very much of the M-1 rifle I used as a Marine over 60 years ago. It's also "Made in USA" and I always admired Bill Ruger and his company. Ralph

One of the benefits of living in rural Texas is that liberals are as rare here as 10 banded armadillos. We fled The Peoples Republik of California 3 years ago after having worked and lived there since 1971. We were able to see up front and personal the spiraling down of our State at the hands...

Thank you, Bill. I (obviously) had no idea. Culima does offer beautiful grip upgrades. So pleased I have them.

My stainless Ladysmith.38/3" has the same S&W finger notch wood grips and I think they're great. No little standard grips for me. Ralph

My active duty as a Marine ended 60 years ago this month at age 24. From my very clear memory, there wasn't a pansy in the pack. I have seen it reported that the Chinese military is working to increase the masculinity of its males, given that tough men make the best warriors. We seem to be...

Mark Robinson is a wonderful American. Hard to believe that the same electorate that elected Mark also elected the idiot governor. Mark's impassioned speech to the Greensboro, NC City Council was as great as Charlton Heston's "From my cold, dead hands" and I occasionally watch both...
