The fall time change for me means, I still go to work in the dark, but also come home in the dark. Messes with our dogs too. Not my photo below but it explains things.

Just received word that Everything Weapons is expecting some HK VP9's in soon and will be selling them for $559.99 as part of their "door buster" (pun intended) to help generate some revenue after the recent break-in and upcoming repairs.

It was just too friggin hot to hunt on the juvenile hunt last weekend, so little man went with me this morning and got his first buck. We saw a bunch of deer moving this morning. One really good buck; but he presented no shot. Patience ran out when this one walked by. I love how excited a kid gets. I miss that as I get older, but it's still fun to see in others. This was the first shot he's ever fired with a muzzleloader.

Until its stolen from you in the spring... I hate it - dark at 4pm just blows chunks.

Many of us have been there. One of our guns break or has to go back to the maker for warranty work. The wait is often months and sometimes the repair ain't right. And sometimes you even have to pay the shipping! In 40+ years of shooting and collecting, I've had to deal with most of the major gun makers at one time or another. Most have been an exercise in frustration. The one notable exception is Springfield Armory. I've told this story before. To make it short, Springfield has absolutely outstanding customer Service. So anyway, I have this stainless Interarms/Ranger Walther PPK .380 which I bought used. A couple of weeks ago the decocker quit working. The lever would move about 30 degrees and then just stop dead. I couldn't make it go any farther. Now this raised a couple of interesting questions. Since I'm not the original owner, would Walther Arms honor their lifetime warranty? And would Walther Arms even work on an Interarms/Ranger gun? Even the folks over at the Walther Forum weren't completely sure. I gave Walther Arms a call. BTW: for those who may no know, Walther Arms is the American version of Karl Walther Inc and located in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. I talked it over with the customer rep. They e-mailed a shipping label and repair form and off it went to Ft. Smith. I got it back today. According to the invoice, they replaced the decocker and hammer strut, serviced the gun and test fired it. The pistol works perfectly. Better yet, from the time it was shipped to them and when I got it back was ELEVEN DAYS! Warranty covered it all with no charge to me. Now let me add this. While I had the rep on the phone, I mentioned that I had recently bought a used PPK/S .22 and would like to purchase the little wrench for the muzzle nut. No problem! They sent me one in the mail for free. Folks, you just can't beat customer service like that! I'm more than happy to pass the good news on. KUDOS TO WALTHER ARMS!

Don't mess with old people !! Police have identified two men who were fatally shot by a homeowner they were allegedly attempting to rob Tuesday afternoon. Jonathan Warren, 18, of Florissant, and Lonnie Middlebrook, 20, of Ferguson, were shot and killed by a homeowner in the 4100 block of Taft, which is a few blocks from the old Bevo Mill Restaurant. Police said Warren and Middlebrook entered the homeowner’s detached garage and attempted to rob him just before 4 p.m. One of the suspects held a gun to the homeowner’s head and demanded that he back up, police said. The 73-year-old then grabbed his own gun and, fearing for his safety, fired it at the suspects, according to officials. Police said the homeowner fired in an act of self-defense, killing both suspects. The suspects’ guns and the homeowner’s gun were found at the scene. According to police, the gun recovered from Warren was reported stolen on Oct. 30 by the Florissant Police Department. http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/11/03/old-steel-73-year-old-outdraws-kills-teen-thugs-st-louis/

I can read these stories all day long...........and Sunday's too!! Hat tip to the elderly gentleman gunfighter.

Got my stamps in today! Ben at Gun Works said he got ten in today. Picked up the Rugged Surge and Warrior2 and will be trying them out tomorrow. Hey Wingshooter, did yours come in?

You probably already knew this, but just in case you didn't... The non-Tactical version is $699 and still has 3 15rd mags. See here: http://grabagun.com/fnh-usa-fnx-45-usg-blk-45acp-15-1-sfty.html I love the tacticool version, but if I were going to carry it, I'd get the FNX non-tactical version. That said, I love my Gen 4 G21.

The FN FNX 45 holds 15rds 45acp out of the box if you want max capacity.

It's a safe bet the glock will last longer than the gun store selling the "warranty".

I like it getting dark early. Seems weird to say "night" when it's still daylight out. Plus it means cold weather is on the way, which in turn means I'll be out at the range more.

I guess it makes me some kind of blood thirsty warped psycho, but I LOVE hearing stories like this. I'm always glad to hear 2 scumbags died trying to rob someone. I mean, I'm sorry he has to deal with the hassle, but it's better than the alternative.

Naw...Walther PPQ, M&P, and HK had a three way. This is the result.

Maybe. But there is absolutely zero chance of me needing a Glock warranty.

Ya' know what they say. Don't mess with an old man, he can't fight anymore & he'll just kill ya. Glad he's OK.

An obvious situation of "poor victim selection".

Chalk one up for the good guys.

God bless him.

TN HCP records were sealed a few years back. Employers other than law enforcement won't readily have access to it. http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/21581879/house-passes-bill-to-close-handgun-carry-records

I received an email from David Cooper this morning. The store re-opens today. M&P Shields for $369.99 in both 9mm and .40SW.

I wouldn't spend $712 to build my own Glock when I can buy on for a lot less.

I have been here the whole time. HRC will most likely be elected. That will begin my long period of civil disobedience. I will no longer take the US government seriously, or look to it for any improvement... ever.
