    First Time Doing This

    First time wearing one of these. Certainly makes you think. I did not know the man very well at all, but he was highly regarded in his community. I hope our small part of the event bring peace to the family.

    Hmm, Was Chasing a 2011, Why Not a SAO Beretta 92?

    So, on a bit of a budget due to the car note we got. I have been kinda drooling over the Staccato line. But why not the 92 XI? https://www.beretta.com/en-us/92xi-sao-launch-edition/ 17 rounds, nice SAO gun... The first semi centerfire gun I shot was a Baretta 92 DA/SA, LOVED it. Shoot it...

    The Bank is Going to Hate us...

    So, the wife's car has had it, we are tired of putting money into it. The heater core went out, 7 hours labor to fix... They would have to take the whole dash out. NEVER will own a Chrysler again. Oil light comes on often, check engine light stays on... Who the F puts the battery in the tire...

    Have You Ever Just not Bonded With a Gun?

    Just thinking out loud here, venting, or whatever. Years ago I had a smith do a little work on my SA Range Officer. Things happened, long story short, it became almost a build, just lacking a few cosmetic things and a nicer finish. The gun was Parkerized, and that was how it was refinished...

    Lefty Loosy, Righty Tighty...

    So, I am on patrol tonight, we see a stranded motorist. My partner pulls in, hits the rear lights, and we get out. It is a couple with a flat tire. We light up the area while he keeps on trying to jack the car up. I notice he is not consistent with the direction he is trying to turn the...

    It Should be Here Thursday....

    So, I sent the slide and barrel of to a somewhat newish smith for a barrel crown job. I should have it back Thursday. I will say, the photos look freaking perfect! Looking forward to getting my EDC back! Photos when I get in my sweaty hands. And by somewhat new, I mean to my knowing of him...

    Put a Light on my AR

    So, the Sheriff's department gave me a light for my AR, I forgot I had this rail mount thing. I like it, puts it closer to the gun than the M Lock adapter did. I can

    Well, It is Official! Got Married.

    My Sheriff buddy drove up and performed the ceremony with some family and friends. Nice little home ceremony at my now brother in law's house. Good stuff, we are very happy! We are registered at Integrity Arms, NHC, WC, GI, ACW and Ed Brown if you want to send a gift PM for FFL information...

    I Felt Kinda Special Friday

    Not a big deal, but I HATE leaving a gun in my car to enter a "gun free zone". I had to get a copy of my birth certificate from the local courthouse. I called to verify, was told if I have my badge, I can carry as long as I am not going to court for myself. So, I showed my badge, and they...

    I "Shot" the Hostage...

    So, we had active shooter training today. My first time using a weapon mounted light, first time "clearing" rooms. First scenario, I came to a turn in the hallway, did not even see the room to my left, went to the right and was "shot" several times in the back, and the other guy shot me in the...

    Taser Certification...

    So, I am a reserve deputy, this is optional. Take a class, get tased for 4 or 5 seconds, or not. I am thinking (never been tased, just a guess) that my chiropractor could give a taser a run for it's money. And I had to lay there and be still why he tortured me... (felt much better after I...

    Ram Horn Grips, Anyone Use Them?

    So, I have 2 sets of stag grips. One seems to be much better quality, so replacing one of them. Going with ram horns, looked cool, something different. Don't see many of them in the forums. Will see how they feel.

    Pinned 1911 Front Sights...

    I have to admit, this is a new one on me. Now, I got a Colt customized by Integrity Arms, and it had a pinned sight, so I guess I have seen it once before... My Springfield RO I bought used a few years ago had a loose front sight. So loose I pulled it off with my fingers. Long story short, I...

    First Time LEO Qualifying Thursday...

    So, after almost a year as a reserve deputy, I get to shoot the qualifying stuff Thursday. I am almost positive I can pass it, but the competitive side of me wants to be at least in the top 75%... I am not big on 25 yard handgun shooting, but have been working on it. I doubt they will, but I...

    DLC Finish Question

    Curious about the DLC finish. Looks and durability, I like. But, I have trouble with DLC and leather holsters. Not sure why. I have a Milt Sparks OWB snap on holster. It is a little tight with my SA RO, DW PM-C, and Kimber TL2. Not bad, but I would like a little more wear before it would...

    I Think My "Collection" is Mostly Complete.

    I got back into handguns 14? years ago, back into 1911's shortly after. I have owned RIA, Remington, WC, and shot a lot of others. So, I have settled on these: Kimber TLEII in the prophet's caliber DW PM-C in 38 Superb Touched by Steve Owens SA RO in the minor prophet's caliber Custom Colt by...

    Country Sayings

    This is a new one on me. Heard it today. "She is so high she could duck hunt with a rake." Any of you know some funny sayings?

    Don't You Hate It!? (Work Brainfart)

    So, I replace the motherboard, heater board, heater junction board, no worky... Spent a few hours trouble shooting the sucker, then realize one plug slipped down and was under the motherboard. Damn technology!

    I Am Still in the First Chapter, But Recommend This Book

    American Marxism by Mark Levin. https://premierecollectibles.com/marxism/ I think he is describing perfectly what is going on. I plan on buying a few of his other books.
