    Home Defense Shot Size

    i live an innocent life in an out of the way, quiet, neighborhood. no wildlings, gangs, druggies, home invaders around. my at-home, 20ga, 20”, under the bed, h&r single shotgun is loaded with #5 gameshot (thanks to paul harrell). https://youtu.be/zaR1EVybUgc?si=HQMBzV5WyGWXbupH fwiw, i can...

    What did you shoot today?

    800 rounds of 22lr cci minimag and standard ammo over two afternoons this week out of a ruger sr22, which puts me somewhere north of 20,000 rounds over a dozen years out of my two sr22 pistols.

    Best 9mm revolver for EDC -or- just stay with my 357

    i am a revolver guy who can’t reload and wanted to shoot cheaper 9mm ammo in something other than a ruger blackhawk convertible single-action revolver. i got a charter arms pitbull 9mm revolver. total waste of time and p.o.c. that i happily got rid of. i now have a nice springfield xd...

    My favorite 357 All Steel Revolver

    my one and only 357mag revolver is a ruger blackhawk convertible, which i almost exclusively shoot with its 9mm cylinder because this ammo is far cheaper.

    What's your preferred every day carry?

    i am pretty much a revolver guy but i need a small and unobtrusive ccw for social reasons. my keltec p32 with a spare mag completely edged out a naa guardian 32acp as my primary, daily ccw, being far easier to shoot and more reliable than the guardian. the p32 carries smaller than a s&w 642 or...

    S&W M10 family photo

    i have two s&w m10-5 revolvers, one pencil, one heavy barrel. the p.b. was a gentleman’s bedside piece, an elegant looker, not shot much. the h.b. is an ex-police gun, a better shooter, being perfectly weighted for smoother recoil control.

    Mare's leg type guns- why?

    i am thinking that a short, mare’s-leg, pump- or lever-action shotgun chambered in 410 could be a useful niche piece for r.v. or camping, like the other, more famous niche handgun, bond arms derringers, but on growth hormones. while i would choose a 410 mare’s leg, i generally prefer handgun...

    3" Saturday

    a s&w m37 and a ruger lcr-x. both are 3”, lightweight, 5-shot, 38sp snubbies. i’m unsure yet which one i prefer, both are equally accurate for me. the deeply blued m37 is a piece of mechanical art that i naturally baby. the lcr-x’s longer grip, polymer frame, better sights & lighter weight...

    Taurus Police Trade-Ins: If anyone is interested.

    i own taurus 85 and 856 snubbies, both new and gently used, excellent pieces. i have seen some indonesian national police still carrying taurus 85 snubbies. the carriers typically appear to be higher ranking officers or traffic police. their sidearms are more a badge of power in a highly...

    A spare reload if needed

    i am mainly a revolver guy. all my handguns, including single action revolvers, have reloads at hand. even my deep ccw, north american arms bugout1 and bond arms derringer gets a speedstrip. i am under no illusion that i can reload them quickly. my bedside taurus 856 sleeps with a...

    Defend the Constitution?

    per 5usc2903 and 3331, a duly sworn sf61 will be in the file of all civilian employees of the federal executive branch. to assert otherwise is simply incorrect and unhelpful, or the employee isn’t lawfully one. an employee may have forgotten, or choose to violate, his/her oath, but it is there...

    Defend the Constitution?

    no argument from me about the purposely dismal state of education in the u.s., and maybe no bible involved all the time, but everyone at every level of government certainly swears, at least by signature, an oath of office to uphold the constitution. when i administered such oaths i required the...

    Defend the Constitution?

    far too many government officials swear an oath to uphold a constitution that they never read on a bible that they never open.

    California Vehicle Transportation/Carry

    a crucial point of the law here, as i read it, hinges on removing the handgun from the vehicle, not the journey of the vehicle with the handgun. a properly secured handgun, once properly stowed and secured in a motor vehicle by a lawful person, can ride along inside the motor vehicle during a...

    Gunbroker with A+ and only 1 sale

    i have an a+ rating as a buyer on gb.com. i most always reach out to the seller regarding used guns. the replies, or lack thereof, are telling. i was scammed once by a ffl who sold to me a rossi 32 revolver with an intentionally undisclosed timing problem, which i had fixed. i sold the rossi...

    What WON'T you carry and why?

    i wont ccw any piece that i can’t quickly, consistently & reliably hit with successive double taps, can’t well conceal, don’t know well enough to fieldstrip when half-asleep, regardless of caliber.

    Why Do You Carry A Gun?

    an unexercised muscle, or constitutional right, atrophies. is how i choose to peaceably exercise, or not, any of my unalienable rights also open to public discussion? just as i firmly believe in our enumerated rkba, i also adhere to our unenumerated right to privacy. if asked by friends about...
