  1. My wife just got a call.....she entered the Remington ladies only giveaway today and won. She has to be at the Nashville Armory tomorrow to meet several female shooters, and won a new RM380. That will probably be a few hours so I am going to the NRA convention again I guess.

  2.  I clicked on the Alliant website back several weeks ago looking up a recipe. As I was looking around I saw an offer for a free 2015 reloader's guide. I clicked on the offer and filled out the information. I had totally forgotten about this when it came in the mail today. Nice paperback book with handgun, shotgun and rifle loads for all the Alliant brand powders. This guide is much more information and gives a lot of detail the reloader's guide on the website does not provide. The site does allow a download of the booklet, but for me, this is easier to use as I can keep it on my bench and refer to it as needed. Just thought some of you guys might benefit from another reliable source for reloading recipes.        http://www.alliantpo...es/catalog.aspx

  5. Well went down to Nashville to see the big show. Jeez never seen so many people in my life at one place. I hate crowds but wanted to see the exhibits more.   Got to talk to folks from Sig, Beretta (got to handle a new M9A3), EEA, Ruger and Armscor (the 2 main guys were there). Lots of nice folks and more brands than I mentioned but trying to see most anything took time to work your way toward it. So many vendors with interesting items.   Lots of give away stuff but I don't collect.   The guys from Armscor were really nice and we talked about the new 22 TCM ammo, pistols and rifle. They had all on display. I think that a 22 TCM may be in my future when components for reloading get more available. I want a rifle and pistol.   The crowd finally took its toll on me and I had to leave.   I found a place on 4th Avenue to park for $7.00 for the few hours I was there, better than some that was charging $11.00 per hour! I had fun but have had my nuff of people to last me 2 years.   Saw a lot of folks carrying today. Some were OWB and most IWB. Quite a few were printing pretty good, seems their method of carry was turning the grip of their firearm out away from their body. Wearing tight Tee shirts or other type shirt did not help. I expected to see some gun control folks but did not, guess they are too smart to get ignorant around that many firearms people.

  7. One of the police was shot in the leg as he fought to maintain control of his gun .  The police shot one of them and shot and killed another - looks like they didn't have a choice.   That could have taken a different turn - with multiple dead officers.  Funny that the perps were a family Christian band.   It's like those people were on one of those illegal drugs where nothing stops them.  Not tasers, not getting whacked in the head with a baton, not anything.  It looks to me like the police showed  much restraint.

  8. We went Friday and left at about 2p and went over to Pub 5 for lunch. I've been there several times and the food is great. Anyways, the 21 year old waitress was all bubbly and asked if we were in for the conference. I said yes and commented that everyone in the restaurant probably was. She said it had been busy and "all of your people have been really nice." LOL I just laughed. She was completely innocent and sincere, but it stuck me as really funny. What did she expect? Did she think it was a KKK rally?

  10. I have to wait on my wife to get out of a baby shower so I'll get to swing by the range and sight in a rifle before heading to the show. Shooting and going to the show in the same day. Can't beat that! I'll probably go back tomorrow too after church. I contemplated going to the prayer breakfast but $40 is too rich for my blood.

  11. And honestly most people would not notice what you are carrying. We all think we are printing because WE know the gun is there but the average person will never notice. Most are oblivious to their surroundings and would never notice a concealed gun regardless of how big it is. I have worn shirts that were tight enough to outline the gun and never noticed anyone acting like I was made. Since getting my Shield life is a lot better because it is so much lighter than my 1911.   One of the biggest things that those carrying guns do that gives them away is they constantly touch their gun. I see people adjusting their gun or touching it, I presume to make sure it is still there, as well as resting their hand on the gun's grip. If you need to check if you still have your gun you need a different holster. Also, you should be able to feel the weight, or mass, of the gun without the need to constantly check if it is still there.

  12. Went today to see what fit my hand and what didn't.  Loving wife decided  I needed a Kimber Raptor and a Kimber Solo, because they were pretty.  And you wonder why I carry her to gun events?

  14. This is straight from the Hodgon website (Berry's hollow-back round nose thick plate bullets) BULLET WEIGHT124 GR. BERB HBRN TP ManufacturerHodgdon PowderTitegroup Bullet Diameter.356" C.O.L.1.150" Starting Load Grains3.6 Velocity (ft/s)957 Pressure27,700 PSI Maximum Load Grains4.1 Velocity (ft/s)1,057 Pressure32,700 PSI From what I've read, Titegroup is a great powder and I have it on strong authority (a Hogdon rep at the NRA convention today) that Titegroup production is being ramped up in hopes people switch from HP 38 and Win 231. If I understood correctly, the way those 2 were manufactured is an older/slower process and Titegroup is easier/quicker. I may switch to it myself when I run out of the 2 above for my 45 acp loads.

  17. Here's my take away's from the NRA show (probably going back tomorrow so this is subject to change):   After handling one of the "new" R51's I want one badly, if production can match the samples I handled today (that was the issue with the 1st batch), it will be a very good pistol.   I also quite want a Walther CCP, it fits my hand fantastically well.   I DO NOT want a Glock 43, I handled one first thing today and while it was a solid feeling pistol, it did not fit me at all.   I want a KelTec sub 2000 gen 2 badly. I know I may never find one for sale due to Keltec's manufacturing issues (they promised me double the production per year of the old model) but it's a darn handy little carbine.   If I ever get around to getting a mosin, I'm getting the Timney trigger for it (yes it's the cost of another mosin, but it's an awesome trigger).   I got to meet: 22 Plinkster (youtube fame), Craig Boddington (gun writer), Massad Ayoob (too many titles to list), Adam Vinatieri (Colts Kicker), I literally ran into Joe Meaux (formerly of "Sons of Guns" fame), I saw Jeff Quinn, R Lee Ermey, Ted Nugent, and Sootch00.   Synopsis: I'm really glad it was local to me, but I will absolutely head to Louisville for next years show.   Oh, and my legs hurt like crazy from walking on that hard floor for 7+ hours without sitting down...

  20. Took a guy this morning that had never been turkey hunting before. He didn't have a gun or anything, so I let him use my gun and I planned to just call. Well, having shot a couple birds already this year, I had depleted my spare shotgun shells I had in my vest. I forgot to grab another box this morning, so we went into the woods with 1 gun and two shells. I managed to call the boss away from the flock about 7:30 and my buddy closed the deal at 40 yards. He whispered, "there are two more gobblers coming." So he handed me the gun and I busted the second bird at about 45 yards. Another great morning in the turkey woods. My buddy is fired up about hunting now. :)

  27. I'm a big fan of KeePass for storing my passwords in an encrypted file. It has a cool feature where you include the URL of the logon page for whatever web site you are storing a password for. When you click on the entry inside KeePass the URL is displayed, and will take you to the page if you click it. Then You right-click the KeePass object and select Autotype, and it will fill in the username / password for you.   I've started going through my passwords and making them very strong. If the site supports it, I'll use 16 to 20 characters, with upper / lower/ number / specials. I don't care what the password is, and I never have to remember it.   For work, I store my password file on an IronKey secure USB thumbdrive, so it is twice encrypted.

  31. I was there with w0lfattack from 1-6pm. I was rockin' a TGO polo. Though I at least 6 other folks that were there at the same time, we never bumed into anyone. It was just that busy! Lots of good stuff. I got some CMC drop in 3.5lb triggers for $130ea! Can't wait to drop them in the M&P10 and an ar15. I shared a concern about a holster for my Shield with the folks at Safariland. They had the same holster and a dummy Shield on hand, and saw exactly what I was talking about. The boss or whoever grabbed a better model off the wall, saw that it fit properly, and handed it to me. I told him I didn't have the old one with me to give him. He told me not to worry about it, and apologized for the bad product. He said he just wanted me to be happy. Well.... success!! lots of free swag... make sure to get your free gun cleaning mat from the Hogue booth. I bought some anodized ar mags from the C-products guys; a blue one for me and a pink one for wifey. They're flimsy as all c-products mags are, but they look cool! I found the rails I want for my 10 and 15. UTG has some really nice stuff now. Can't really believe I'm saying that. Their super slim keymod will go on the 15, and I don't remember the name of the one I want for the 10, but I'll get it. If you're on the fence about going to the show, GO! Short of Tulsa, you'll never be around this much gun stuff again!

  33. The Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge is the phone to own right now if you are not an Apple guy. It has gotten rave reviews and is expected to give the iPhone a run for it's money.   We've been planning on picking up a pair, and since the phone was released today, we'll probably take the plunge and get them. I'll need to bring a big bag of money though. They are not cheap.   I've been very happy with my Galaxy S3, but it is nearly three years old now, and ever since I moved, I have poor service with Verizon in my house. In fact I usually have to go to the porch to talk. AT&T has a tower I can see from my living room, and everyone that comes over and has service with them gets excellent reception all over my house. Verizon has given me excellent service over the years, but Its frustrating not being able to talk on the cell in my own living room, so that is enough to make me change providers.

  35. I think in that case the Feds did underestimate just how much opposition they would encounter so quickly and be out gunned so quickly either. The oath Keepers Stepped up to the plate really fast. That was why the Feds backed down. It would have been a Ruby Ridge or Waco in Reverse. They did the smart thing and packed up and left. They used the old adage of run away this time and live to fight another day. They won't make that mistake twice!!!!  Next time they will have Troops with them to give them armed support. Now depending on what the situation is they better hope that their troops they bring with them better agree with their plans also. Other wise they may not have the support they think they have. My grandson has told me of many men he served with that have zero respect for politicians and many of their programs. Many of them have talked about not following orders that would mean moving against American people on American soil. I am glad he is out of the Service and I was able to talk him out of re-enlisting after his two tours in Afghanistan ..........................jmho

  38. My brother and I had a textbook hunt on opening day. We roosted a hot tom the night before and snuck in well before dawn and set up close. The tom was gobbling on the roost and it only took a handful of calls to talk him down and pick a fight. He came up behind us and at one point passed within six feet. He was so focused on kicking the decoys butt he never noticed we were there. My brother was the trigger man and that's him in the pic below. The entire hunt, from leaving the cabin to bird on the ground was under an hour.

  42. What the government does not realize is that in the 30+ years of war our country has seen they have created millions of patriots. And how ironic that the patriots they created that will be the ones take back the country from those who created them. I just wonder at what point we go from using politics to using arms. Right now those in power are using racism, economic divides and gun control to distract most from seeing what they are doing but some of us see it plain as day.

  45. As a gunsmith and instructor I've seen and done a lot of shooting over the years. I have only shot maybe 4 boxes of cartridges from Freedom that I had received in a trade. One box contained 2 rounds with primers that were either backwards or sideways and crushed in place. I figured it was a rare anomaly so I saved the defective rounds to teach with. Then about a year later a student said they had some ammo at home that was the same way, so they were afraid to shoot it. They brought it in for me to examine and it turned out to also be from Freedom. I assumed it was an odd coincidence, and it probably was, but it was a good example why you should never purchase defense loads from a reloader, remanufacturer, or unknown source. And I never personally buy or shoot any non-commercial reloads (loaded by just some random guy), and I always carefully inspect any target ammo I might acquire that comes from a remanufactured or surplus source.
