    11,867.625 Pounds of Lead

    11,867.625 pounds of lead. Just did the math into how many pounds of lead I've sent downrange over the years. It's been a lot! By my logs, I've fired over 462,000 rounds of various calibers over the decades, mostly .45ACP and 5.56 NATO, but I shoot everything from .22lr up to 12g slugs...

    Who Wears a Reverse-Draw Holster?

    Anyone wear a reverse -draw holster? If so, why? What are the benefits? I saw a gent at a class a few years back where he wore a reverse-draw holster. This is when you wear a lefty holster on your right side so the butt of the pistol points forward. I don't have a clue what the...

    Breed Group Buy

    I'd get a THR Forum Knife if we had one, but I know how much of a PITA it would be to organize, collect money, distribute ... and then have to hold a few people's hands when they bitch & moan about pointless little issues... it'll be a thankless task! If this is too many, I'd love it if HSO...

    What is the SMG in this Picture?

    Here's a clip of Syrian resistance members from a BBC online article. What is the SMG used by the man in the back? It looks like a Schmeisser SMG MP40/MP41 to me. I know the Syrians used a lot of German WWII weaponry, including Panzer MKIVs to fight the Isrealis... so can anyone identify...

    Do You Trust Your Gut Feelings?

    Folks, Been thinking this one over and wanted to get some opinions. Throughout my life, I've noticed that my "gut feelings" have been a good indicator of what to do/not do. Whenever my "gut" told me not do do something, but which I ignored, something bad has happened. This has been true...

    Busted by the Wife!

    Folks, My wife has just figured-out how to "bust" me when I buy a new knife! She looks at my forearms and checks for tell-tale hairless patches where I shave-test a new blade! Perhaps I could start shaving the beagle... ---good thing she doesn't know about the spear that just arrived! ;)

    Strange Days Indeed

    Folks, We certainly are living in strange times. I am seeing both a "gun run" because of Obama fears -yet I'm also seeing firearms retailers and dealers in trouble because of this Recession we are in. Some guns can't stay on the shelves yet other fine firearms are being deeply discounted...
