    I have a strange fascination with Milsurps...

    They don't give a "well trained professional" or "nice" vibe at all.

    Trapping Coyotes On Property That Has Wild Hogs

    Not really my area of expertise, but it sounds like a scenario where you may end up with no coyotes and damaged traps since hogs will eat anything. I'm considering welding all the sections of the legs together on my deer feeders and concreting them into the ground like fence posts in the hopes...

    Loading 5 in a revolver

    I see no reason to deprive myself of 16% of my potential load in a gun that is drop safe, unless I am firing some type of exercise scenario that only requires 5 rounds. If I was in fact using a revolver, which I don't.

    Opinions on the perfect nightstand handgun.

    I use a Glock 19C with a mounted white light and a secondary white light with a wrist lanyard for hand held use staged alongside the Glock. The second light serves as backup to the primary light, as well as an option to illuminate an area without pointing a loaded weapon at everything I am...

    What's your preferred every day carry?

    I would "prefer" one of my Glock 19's, but since I live in Fl where it is almost always t shirt weather, in practice I carry a S&W shield 9mm.

    Ruger Mini Thirty. On the fence.

    I had one that I got on the cheap from someone that needed $ more than the rifle. I was very unimpressed with accuracy from a number of different rounds, including better soft points of the US variety. I was mostly happy with the fact that I was in it for very little $ and was able to dump the...

    The Knock-Out Game

    This cowardly trend is just another name for a sucker punch. A sucker punch is normally executed with the element of surprise, and requires very little talent or skill. The reason the victim often hits the ground in varying stages of consiousness is because the full force of the strike is...

    To red dot or not to red dot...

    I don't care for them on handguns. Given how I employ handguns I don't need the extra bulk or to spend the extra $, not to mention the need to re-train on the new piece of gear. Another concern is/was the reliability of these things, which I am told is not an issue with many of the newer models...

    I have a strange fascination with Milsurps...

    I think they are cool too. I prefer those of the US variety, as well as some of the German stuff. Unfortunately, availability is down and prices are up on them, and ammunition has become unaffordable or unobtainable unless the gun uses 9mm. The days of cheap surplus ball ammo from overseas are...

    Rem Oil Use.

    Some well-meaning logistics person ended up purchasing large amounts of this stuff in afg during the late unpleasantness. We found it to be slightly better than nothing. I think rem-oil would be best utilized for things like squeaky door hinges, fishing reels that need a little TLC, and tools...

    Rifle optics: a blue collar spending perspective for cost / benefit

    I have 2 of those myself- one on a 243 and the other on a 30-30.

    Optics on handguns

    No, not for me. Sticking with irons on the handguns.

    Today, $400 is considered cheap for 'em.

    I believe the SKS is a fun range rifle that can definitely be used effectively to hunt deer at closer ranges, and if necessary can be pressed into a defensive mode- 10 rounds of x 39 from a semiauto is nothing to balk about. But I guess I'm living in the past, because to me they are all worth...

    Idaho woman survives home invasion, killing intruder and getting shot herself

    She went where most never will and performed better than most ever would.

    Burro Defense Gun

    I believe they are considered a pest. I know the LE type rangers in Death Valley would shoot them on sight and leave them for coyotes to clean up. They carried 308 M1A's in their trucks.

    Rifle optics: a blue collar spending perspective for cost / benefit

    For the $ and customer service policies/warranties, its hard to beat a Vortex. I have much nicer scopes from companies like Leopold, Horus, trijicon, etc., but those just aren't necessary for something that I hunt with in the SE US.

    Any firearm can be used self-defense in a pinch. Do you agree?

    If it functions and its loaded, run it.

    Gloves for dry fire training

    Get a better holster. If the pistol grip is causing discomfort, slide a piece of bicycle inner tube up the grip. I got a box of those things free from a bicycle shop, I use them for all kinds of stuff and you can make the strongest rubber bands known to man with them.
