Having an aspirin to take or chew as soon as heart trouble is suspected is recommended by the medical community. Keep that aspirin with you. https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/aspirin-for-heart-attack-chew-or-swallow US preventive services in Oct 2021 recommended NOT to take daily baby...

Thanks to this thread I started thinking about my needing a double hi-cap magazine holder. I tried putting mags in my cell phone holder and WOW, it was just like it was made for 9mm mags. Plus I use it for my cell phone when not on the range.

Blume I very much agree with what you are saying. However on Friday when I looked down and considered where my pocket carry gun was pointing, it was at the person sitting opposite me (groin or lower) or past him to a ladies group. Pocket carry does have several advantages, but I'm not going to...

This morning sitting in a bike shop / coffee shop with friends, a loud bang. Having been reading about lawsuits Sig had with guns going off – in holsters & untouched – I immediately thought about an accident. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/special-forces-pistols-1.5897942 Since my leg was...

I have seen several (used to keep some of the burnt ones for show & tell) outlets or plugs where one of the wires was a bit loose. Still connected - touching - but not tight. Likely over time a marginal connection was not noticed until put to a "stress test" of max rated current. As other...

I’ve worn a cross body bag (messager bag?) now for over 4 years. Started when my wife was doing chemo therapy, and I was carrying reading material / supplies for both of us. Book / ipad / barf bag / other extra’s Covid hit and I added hand sanitizer and extra masks. Yep is also has a rear...

I’ve lived in 2 “haunted” houses. One a Cape Cod where I was the 2nd owner and the builder had passed away. The 2nd a school that was converted to 4 apartments. Multiple family & neighbors heard “the noises” in both places, or saw objects fly off the shelf in the “school”. In the...

If you want to give something else a try -instead of Windows, look at Linux. There are several different distributions each with its individual strengths. They are all FREE. Often they can be loaded onto a flash drive and test driven on a Windows machine to show you what your computer is...

With an antenna you need to know where to point it. I use Antennaweb to see where the broadcast stations are in relation to me. enter in your zip code or city name to get directions and antenna needs prodictions https://www.antennaweb.org/

YOUTUBE is your friend for fixing things. I replaced the headlights on both my Ford flex and GMC pickup with LED’s. The headlights still worked but I wanted a brighter light on the road to compensate for “old eyes”. The Ford was easy, but the GMC had to be half dismantled and then it was...

Maybe not what you are thinking of, but S&W model 25 is chambered in 45 acp uses moon’s. Smith also made a mod 610 – 10mm & 656? 40 cal. that uses moon’s. Taurus made a run of 5 shot revolvers using moon’s for 45acp. Ruger today makes the GP100 in 10mm that uses moon’s. Reloading using...

Browsing through some Handloader mags recently I read an article about loading 9mm. One of the comments about loading “range pickup brass” is that the author was getting about a 6” group with a favorite load. Looking at his brass he found the OAL of the brass varied. By sorting the brass into...

Mobuck / Contender you are talking about 2 completely different things, and different ends of a loaded round. For AR / 223 you can reload with Mil spec small rifle primers that have a thicker primer cup. CCI PRIMERS, NO. 41, MILITARY STYLE SMALL RIFLE FOR 5.56 MM If you do not reload then...

Contender: shooting USPSA do you use 10mm or 40 S&W cases? I’m finding 5 different Moon clips that fit the Ruger GP100 10mm. Here is a bit from each website with some details I find interesting. Some brass is called out as not fitting. Apparently there is a difference in clips that should...

Just picked up new toy, a 10mm revolver. Handling it, it seems sweet! I don’t know when I will be able to try it out, the outdoor range is tough to get to – very primitive with a few inches of snow. The good news is the shop owner is a 10mm fan and has ammo in stock – Yea. Looking on...
