    I see shooters fighting their gear nearly every match. That just looks like not as much fun to me! 

    +1.  The purpose of gun tuning is not to make YOU faster.  It is to make the gun smoother, more reliable and a joy to use.  That, practice and talent will make YOU faster.

  2. Up until 1933 inauguration day was March 4.  That took care of 19th century travel time.  In 1933 the 20th Amendment to the Constitution changed the date to January 20 to give the old administration less time to engage in mischief.  It takes time to change the Department heads as can be seen by Trump's efforts to name a new cabinent and they have to become familiar with their new jobs so the transition will go smoothly.  There are buildings in Washington that have rooms that look just like the offices the new administration will be moving into so they can become famiiar with their new surroundings.  On Inauguration day the heads of the Departments (Interior, Defense, Agriculture, etc.) hand the key to the building to the new head of the department.

  3. She was on a Netflix show called The Ranch.  She was married to Sam Elliott.  Their sons were Aston Kucher and Danny McBride.  Aston's girlfriend was Elisha Cuthbert.  It was a pretty good show until McBride got busted for rape.  (In The Ranch Debra had her hair dyed so she looked quite a bit different than in the Accused.)

    I'm too lazy to look it up but I'm thinking the Rooster Shooter was okay (hey, the Duke, remember).  But some other companies were making similar grips with deeper grooves, so finally had to just outlaw them all.   I think. :) 

     

    That was my recollection as well.  Looks like our senile old minds are not entirely gone.

  5. It has been playing locally on MeTV.  I remember the theme song from when I was a kid.  There is a story on YouTube where the producer is talking about the show.  He has the Colts from the show and says the salaries were so low Preston had to have another job.  He was a pilot.  He asked Warners for an advance to repair his airplane and then disappeared on some flying jobs for a few weeks so they fired him.

     

    That reminds me.  In the audience for the show on YouTube was Hugh O'Brien.  I remember back during one of the early SASS conventions in Vegas we were setting up a display table and noticed Hugh O'Obrien in a wheelchair trying to get into the hall and the guard would not let him in.  I went over and said "do you know who that is?"  The young fellow said "no."  I said that is Hugh O'Brien.  He said "who?"  That was almost 20 years ago.  Think how few people remember the old western stars now.  That is one of the prime reasons recruiting for SASS is so difficult.

  6. Attend some shoots.  Have some fun.  Learn to shoot what you have. And read the rule book.  I see you shoot with Colt Faro.  Have him bring you to Cowtown and ACSA so you can get some additional shoots under your belt.

     

    Opps wrong Colt.  The one you are shooting with at Rio - Colt Laredo.

    I have an issue with a narrator and the camera crew who say that Trump's gun is a .45 acp caliber, but two out of the three pictures show a 9mm Parabellum.

     

    Is there any media puke anywhere who can something so very simple, and so easy get right, actually get anything to do with guns right?

     

    Lord, that is so annoying...and no one calls them on it.

    He clearly explains about the USP and says they come in a variety of calibers and that Trump's would have been a .45.  You know how hard it is to get handguns to photograph in England?  He is not a media puke.  He is a professor of history that has made some amazing videos.  Sheesh.
