    Which .380 ?

    absolute truth indeed. the physically challenged should try a ruger sr22. no centerfire handgun ammo has a proximity fuse.

    The Box House

    how well is it built? way too much of america is form over substance. i wish there are more affordable, prefabricated, steel-framed box houses on the market, with living, family & bed-rooms facing onto a scenic backyard of planted trees, and kitchen, toilets, utility rooms on the street side.

    Treasury or annuity for retirement monies not needed?

    as jeffkeryk wrote, like much of life, there are both good and bad annuities, of many flavors. gon, your wife has apparently been offered an immediate lifetime, ten-year certain, annuity. there is far more to annuity world than just this one offered option, which makes me wary of the offer...

    Inexpensive caliber to shoot

    in my own experience i recommend either a new taurus or a used s&w via gunbroker for a 38sp revolver, though new taurus revolvers are mostly 2” or 3” ccw these days. from what i see on gb used s&w 6” revolvers seem to be decent values: as target rather than carry pieces are likely better cared...

    no experience with it but the new ruger security lite-rack 380acp pistol may be worth a look-see. https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/first-look-ruger-security-380-lite-rack/

    Which .380 ?

    wadcutters are not designed to expand. they are an excellent way to remain using 38sp revolvers if recoil becomes a problem. their only problem is limited availability.

    Which .380 ?

    respectfully, shooting one caliber from a firearm specifically chambered in another different caliber is an unsound practice.

    Which .380 ?

    my own experience with some of the handguns mentioned here: sig p238. ok recoil, racking, fieldstripping. couldn’t get used to m1911 “cocked and locked” carry mode. sold. taurus spectrum: ok recoil. pleasant to hold but a tad difficult to rack. fieldstripping was darn near impossible with oem...

    US, Philippines vow joint defense ‘anywhere in the South China Sea’

    duterte is complicated. he wasn’t as much anti-american as he was totally anti-obama and anti-biden, and anti-makati and anti-globalist. it was obama’s fecklessness that ceded the south china sea to the prc, despite the international court of justice’s solid finding in favor of the philippines...

    Does anyone in the US care about the coronation in the UK?

    no thank you. at one time the military pageantry on display at royal events was certainly inspiring. about ten years i very briefly chatted with prince andrew in a small group at a british embassy function. he was a pleasant enough fellow. we shared a wee bit of navy talk, and i declared my...

    Wellness check? Call 911 or local PD (non emergency)

    i found a full wallet on the ground at a city gas station awhile ago. a bit uncomfortable and not knowing the place, but it not being an emergency, i called 311 (the un911). after 20 minutes of intermittent “hold please, we will be with you soon” i hung up and found a fire station, where i...

    Ruger MKII, MKII or MKIV

    hi scott s, best fortune on your 22lr shopping expedition! a few random notes: check out utube videos, sootch is a decent reviewer who also fieldstrips his pistols on screen. the bull barrel comes standard on the mark4 target model. the pencil barrel standard mark4’s are substantially higher...
