Back in my Alaska roaming days, I carried my Freedom Arms 454 Casull revolver and in camp, there were always several shortie 870s lying around... Still, if a 9mm pistol was all I had at the moment, I'd use it!

I'll just stick with my well broken-in 4" stainless Security Six---it does everything I need a 357 revolver to do without the extra weight of the GP-100...

Several places the wife and I used to frequent have raised their prices---OK, I get that---but the second they try to sneak-in a fee or two, WE'RE DONE, and I tell them that, and you should hear the whining! They know me and they know I'm a steady customer, but I'll NOT be deceived about fees...

My mom made wings for P-38s all during WW2---that's the only part of the plane she made...

Well, I'm a pretty decent cook, so we don't have to eat out much, but the random hours of my wife's work sometimes makes it handy to eat out or sometimes we just enjoy eating out... Some of our favorite places have nearly doubled their prices and then want to add additional fees on top of that...

I like the 45 ACP cartridge, bur son't own any 1911 types---I own four guns that shoot 45 SCP: HK USPf 45 HK 45C Kahr P45 And my 4 3/4" Freedom Arms Model 83 revolver in 454 Casull with factory fitted 45 ACP cylinder I have owned a Springfield Armory stainless "Loaded" 4" 1911---a very good...

At my age, I don't mess with ladders no more...

Love them old Flattops! Down to just two now---a 4 3/4" 357 and one of the very last 44 mag Blackhawks made that's been nicely shortened to 4 3/4" by a previous owner...

For some reason bulk 22 ammo (especially Remington and Winchester) QC has gone into the toilet over the last several years! Fortunately, I have a stash of much older production of several brands (including Remington and Winchester) that functions just fine and I can't remember the last time I...

WOW!! Just wow!

There is simply much better food for the same or nearly the same price... Before I retired, I was a freelance photographer and often traveled about to shoot photos---sometimes the ONLY place around or open was a Mcds---that was the ONLY time I would eat there and that was seldom...

Another vote for the Nylon 66! Very accurate, reliable, lightweight little rifle...

In my youth (a very long time ago), two 22 revolvers stand out---my friend's Colt Officers Model Match (a very well-worn gun with lots of rounds downrange and also used on their dairy farm) and another friend's H&R 999 top-break---9 rounds on board---trigger not so great... These were the guns I...

Love 22s! I currently have three plinkers/field 22 rifles: a 60s era Belgium Browning SA-22, A pre-warning Ruger 10-22 Deluxe Sporter and a Remington Nylon 66---any of the three will do unless there are female shooters with us---then the bottom-ejecting SA-22 stays home...

Dogs become family---our Vets deserve all the support we can give them!
