60 + tons of tank and more of the trailer and tractor didn't stand much of a chance against a freight train.
Not a tank - M109 howitzer

Can you shoot Josey Wales with just pistols? We have a few guys with shoulder problems that do that.
Sure but not to that point yet.

I'll quit when I can't hold the rifle up any more. I'm not the same man I was physically when I started over 20 years ago, but I still enjoy all aspects of Cowboy Shooting. Just have to pace myself a bit different. Besides, I am still chasing the club founder, who is still shooting at 87. I can see me doing that if still on the planet.

I'm pretty much most concerned about the shotgun. Maybe hip shots are in order..

I've just hit three weeks after having C5-C6-C7 fusion surgery. My surgeon has given me the green light to begin shooting again, which I find unique as most of the guidance I see recommends waiting for months. If anyone else on the site has had this or a similar surgery, I would be interested in hearing about their rehab procedures and what was recommended.
Thanks!

The Colt New Service was twice adopted as a sidearm by the Army.
This is an M1909 in .45 Colt
It's hard to see, but the lanyard ring is there. Other than markings, this gun is identical to the Colt New Service
.This is a Colt M1917 in .45 ACP
Other than caliber and the grips, the 1909 and the 1917 are identical. Both are Genuine GI.
Would you believe that I own a M1909 in .45acp? Looks like it was changed to .45acp for WWI while the M1917s were ramping up but I can't find any information on 1909s that were converted.

In a pig's ass.
We are busy fighting and preparing to fight and use the Navy for some long range artillery jobs and other fire support. They also perform certain admin functions, mass supply, and medical and religious services. They do that because real Marines and some corpsmen and ladies face the tiger on his own turf and often by the tiger's rules.
Remember that every Marine is a rifleman...and ever shall that be.
Semper fi, Marines.
Just love to stir up Marines about living in the Department of the Navy,,,,,

Haven't watched the NFL since they started disrespecting my country. Don't miss it either as it had become more of some kind of constant clown show instead of football.

Just another reason not to watch the NFL.

Graf could be a hoot at times
One foot in mud, one foot in snow, and dust blowing in your face. Graf. My first landlord in West Germany was a member of Rommel's Africa Corp. He trained at the same places in Graf we did - with the same wonderful experiences...

Had an “hog” incident at Graf up on the Forward Observation Post. One soldier was being a pain in the “fourth point of contact” all day. That night someone apparently smeared peanut butter on the foot of his fart sack and left the flap of the tent open just a hair. Middle of the night you hear him screaming “they’re eating me!” Hogs had drug him out of the tent and were shredding his bed roll. It was February so he was zipped up tight and couldn’t get out. We eventually ran them off but he had to sleep in a ventilated sleeping bag the rest of the field problem. Funny, he was a model soldier after that.
I was walking the gunline at Graf late one night and went back to the messline to check on the cleanup detail. Came around the back of the 5 ton and found my detail up in the truck, hiding. There was a hog in the messline. It had knocked over the table and was crushing C ration cans to ease out what was inside and drinking out of the mermite container. Never signed the mess log..

Many years ago Vincent Price was appearing at a local auditorium at the college. I really regret not going. It would have been amazing just to hear his voice. I did see B B King there. That was great.
My last year in college, 1975, Mr. Price gave a lecture on campus, talking about his years in show biz, etc. Absolutely the best class I attended my 4 years on campus. He was captivating.
