very nice colt single action revolver for sure, but i prefer ruger, “two-screw,” drop-safe, transfer-bar safety, versions because i’m a shooter not a fondler, haha.

gon, thanks for this. does the colonel have his own blog? i would like to read more…

besides offering decently-priced, name-brand, motor oil, walmart is (once again, post-flu panic) selling cci minimag 22lr ammo for $10.97/100.

“be sure of your target and what’s behind it.” imho too many folks choose a pump-action, 12ga, shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot for home protection because of hollywood. do you have a practice venue, enjoy shooting it, are you physically able to hold and use it without short-stroking it, are you...

mekks, please do a review of your new ford explorer st after you put some miles on it.

i just bought some excellent 38sp reduced recoil and 32 long ammo from this commercial reloader. fast (free, if veteran) shipping. extremely well packed. attractively priced. all shot very well. they earned a loyal customer. https://cavalryammunition.com/

“action in the north atlantic” and “casablanca,” of course. “treasure of the sierra madre” and “the african queen” too. actually way, way too many favorites to list!

big box stores’ three frustrations: 1. finding your desired item; 2. finding someone to help you; 3. long waits to pay for what you finally find. self-checkout is a step in right direction.

this. the best bargain firearm is the one that suits your needs, is convenient, is pleasant and affordable to practice, can be fieldstripped easy enough so that you will enjoy getting to know and clean it. in other words if you are a shotgunner then a maverick 88 is a fine bargain. if you...

aldi house-brand batteries are nicely priced and work fine, so far.

what a mess, but thank god no fire, no casualties. i’ve spent enough time in the third world, including the philippines, to be highly wary of emergency 911 services, very lucky that none were needed this time. seems that this kal cabin crew was not only attractive, attentive and polite as usual...

i’m a cx gold (oneworld alliance sapphire) member. cx has been very generous extending its elite status during the great flu lockdown, but stingy on rolling over earned miles. i’ve flown jal and qatar to/from asia, and aa transpacific once sadly, on two roundtrips in the past year, while hkg and...

that’s the question…no, i think…but i don’t know enough to know the answer for myself. as i noted, nothing wrong that i can tell.

drive out of the city to a walmart, tire franchise or acura/honda dealer (“buy 3, get 1” promo). spend absolutely no more than $100/tire, all-in, otd. get an alignment too. make it a weekend fun trip. especially if going to a dealer, how is your maintenance situation otherwise. i.e. recalls...

i thought that this honor belonged to okinawa. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/okinawa-japan-longevity-diet-eat_n_5c6b107fe4b01cea6b883962

i prefer active airbases…the sound of freedom. sadly, new england has lost all of its active, usaf airbases, though most remain in reserve or ang hands: westover, pease, dow, otis, but not loring. hanscom afb lives on but has no flying mission. naval air is gone: brunswick, quonset point...

i’m planning highway trips in both my n.e. 109,000 mile (to me at 9,000 miles), ex-cpo, 2013 vw passat 2.5 and s.w. 64,000 mile (to me at 42,000 miles), ex-hertz, 2014 toyota yaris 1.5 in the next month. both need no oil change needed for at least six more months, both are well maintained. tires...

full gas tank, parked indoors, plugged into a battery tender is how i leave my desert sw snowbird 2014 toyota yaris for 3-4 months at a time. oci is 18-24 months at about 3000 miles. runs like a top.

i gravitated to mostly shooting 22lr handguns during the past few years: physically and financially easier, keeps my meager skills honed, helps in a small way to keep our precious 2a alive. while getting more into rimfire plinking i concurrently sold off a bunch of nice (to me) firearms. they...
