In another clueless move, I bought a Weaver mount laser for my P22. The P22 has an under barrel M3 mount, which a Weaver won't fit. Does anyone know of an adapter that will hang on my M3 mount and allow the Weaver laser to mount? Thanks, Scarface

Car Quals I qualified as a Carrier pilot on the Lex in 1969 in a T-28. Last of the wooden deck carriers. Both the Lexington and the T-28 are retired and I'm still working. ?

Green Tracers Dave, Thank you for your kindness. Do you also remember the green tracers? As an aside, on my first missions, we combined my area orientation with a recon insert. The team got immediate contact and as we started fire support, I commented to the HAC that all the birds...

Flaming beercans Many years ago and far far away, our beloved Corps used to let me fly Cobras. In an enclosed cockpit, we couldn't hear anything from the ground, except a heavy caliber (.50, .51, 12.7, etc.) fired directly at us. It made the skin of the aircraft resonate with a thump, thump...

A good friend bought a new Ruger 22/45, partially on my recommendation. Now, it jams frequently. It's jammed enough that he has narrowed the pattern down to the next to last round in each magazine. It's not 100%, but close. He has worked on his grip until he's sure that he has not limp...

Hi Sry0fcr, My sons bought one for me several years ago. Mine is the 1927A1 model, with 3 stick magazines. Many pros to it, including amazingly accurate up to 20 yards. Very little recoil and low noise signature. High sentimental value as a gift from the boys and old times far away. The...

Hi Sad dc, Residents of Illinois need a state issued FOI Card, I believe it stands for Firearms Owner Identification Card. It is illegal in ILL to purchase, house or shoot a fiream without one. I would recommend going to your shooting range and asking what is needed in Chicago and taking a...

Hi Tim, Look at http://www.rt66.com/~korteng/SmallArms/grease.htm The bolt on this was about the size of a soft drink can. When it was fired, it felt like you were shootin a pogo stick. We taped 3 maazines together to have a LOT of .45 ACP handy. Vern, we saw some of the same...

Hi Marshall, I gave our Ruger Mark I to our son, since my wife could not rack the slide. She has no problem with our P22 and, of course, the Beretta Tomcat and Bobcat are easy as can be, with tip up barrels. She can rack our Makarov and CZ P01, as well, with the proper technique. Pulling...

Hi WT, I was a Marine, flying Cobras. Our Recon people said thanks once, by giving me a Swedish K. I carried that until I got my grease gun. Prior to that, I had a cut down M14. It was convenient, since we carried 4,000 rounds of 7.62. Be Well, Scarface

Hi MtCowboy, MatthewVanitas has it exactly right. Go with the program and you'll get much out of it, although it won't seem so at first. The Marine Corps has taught me lessons and given me friends that have lasted all my life. Be Well, Scarface Quantico - 1967

Hi Oldnamvet, from one to another, When I was in VN, I couldn't carry enough firepower or rounds. Back here, I've settled on a KelTec P3AT in a pocket holster. The P3At has proven reliable for me. Even though I learned rela paranoia over there, I think the .380 is enough for casual carry...

Pax, what a great post. My Dad gave me the best advice I've ever had the morning my wife and I were married. He told me "Never try to understand her, just go along with her". He and Mom were married for 50 years, so I figured he must know something. My wife shoots with me about 4 times...

Ankle Carry Hi Legionnaire, I sell ankle holsters and try out my own products. The two main limitations to ankle carry are the height of the pistol (a large grip will print out quickly) and the weight of the pistol. There are a number of comfortable ankle holsters on the market that use...

Hi jnojr, I usually have my ceaning kit out while I'm reassembly our P22 and use a section of cleaning rod through the front of the slide to keep the spring in alignment with the guide rod while I compress the spring with the slide. It works for me, but it would be easier if I had a third...

Hi CalamityJane, Our class, in North Carolina, was 12 hours, presented by the guy who trains our State Police. It included legal issues (6 hours) weapon safety and range (6 hours) and a 50 round qualification shoot at different distances and times. My wife used our Makarov and passed with...

Hi Citdel99 AR Hit it. Go to Personal Dfense and Handgun Safety on Trion Road. Nice peopleand very knowledgeable. After shopping around, I shoot and buy there exclusively. Be Well, Scarface

One of our members has been trying to reach Hakan Pek. He asked me if I had a way to do that, having seen a prior post about my P01. I heard that he had been sick or hurt. Has anyone had connection with him lately? The other member wants to order, but cannot seem to connect with him...

Hi texfire, Congratulations on the good catch. Squibs are so few and far apart, it's hard to be prepared for one. Good reactions! Cousin Mike, I had a squib in an autoloader 2 weeks ago, the ammo being from a major manufacturer. The point is, it can happen in any type firearm. Mine was my...

Hi JJJJ, Semper Fi from one to another. My home defense choices are for my wife, a Taurus 605 with Crimson Trace laser grips. It's a DA/SA with .38 hollowpoints. The DA is long, but smooth and the laser grips take lot of guesswork out of the equation. It's her bedside weapon (almost...
