    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.

    did longmire get it wrong

    For me, either cocked and locked, or cleared and stored in the safe. The grip should be established prior to the pistol is exiting the holster. Our human opposable thumb is key to establishing this grip. Safety lever operation is easy to do with this grip established- thumbing a hammer or...

    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...

    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.

    Realistic hunting challenge

    Where I have been doing most of my hunting since I moved back to Fl., 50 yards is a long shot due to terrain and vegetation. I am about to purchase some land where I will easily have opportunities for shots out to 600, more or less. Since I have the equipment and ability to make such shots, I'm...

    Things to Not Do

    1- make good tactical choices 2- work the problem you are being faced with right now, not the problem that may play out in the future 3- you have the right to an attorney, so shut up and exercise that right. Once you have been cuffed and/or mirandized, you are in an adversarial relationship...

    Handgun, Rifle, PCC, or Shotgun for Home Defense?

    Handguns are my "go to", and are very versatile for a number of reasons. IMO a PCC is the superior choice to a more conventional caliber in a rifle or a shotgun. A handgun can also be carried discreetly on or off your property. If I lived somewhere like a ranch in extreme southern Tejas, I...

    Things you see on your Trail Cams.......

    Things you see on your Trail Cams.......

    In NW Fl the rut is in the Jan-Feb time frame, with does dropping in the Sep. time frame- but bow season starts in late October. This means spotted fawns during bow season are normal to see. The first time I saw spotted a fawn in September on a trail cam I though the thing had the mange, but...

    Striker Fired: What am I Missing?

    Striker fired pistols like the Glock and M&P offer excellent reliability, more so than most other handguns in my experience. They are also very easy to work on and possibilities to customize are endless. What I think I like the most is that they can be carried at the ready and quickly presented...

    Is the Smith & Wesson MP15 in .22 caliber - any opinions?

    I have one that I use pretty hard for mostly for training purposes. For drills at shorter ranges I don't need to burn through 223. I can fire it into steel targets that are not rated for center fire rifle rounds in a pistol bay. Naturally, it is cheaper to shoot than 223. It is also capable of...

    Proficiency Training Thoughts?

    I pretty much tie myself down to 2 types of handguns- striker (Glock and M&P shield) and 1911. These are the handguns I have the most experience with and they are heavily "imprinted" on me. I don't care for actions like DA, where there are 2 different trigger types on 1 gun, and there are other...

    Flying with Blue/SIRT Guns?

    If I was not able to find out online at the TSA website (and print the rule and carry it to the airport with me) I would call and ask. Surely they have some type of guidance for training weapons and toys and such. Even BB guns aren't legally firearms but I bet there's a rule in place. Or you...
