Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

Does anybody ever argue over how to hang the paper towels like they do with toilet paper? I was replacing the roll when this question popped into what passes for my mind. I don't think I've ever heard hanging the paper towels argued over. If hanging paper towels from the front is right, why doesn't the same standard apply to TP?

Glad to see that you're so well protected.

I had a few in my teens. I never got the actual "Launch Pad" with all the gear though. I just stuck the rod into the dirt, stuffed a 3" piece of cannon fuse into the motor, lit it with an old Zippo I found somewhere, and RAN!

I just got the Richards out to the range after working on the front sight. Here's what we did at 7 yards: That's 15 rounds. Yes, I'm a bit proud of myself. Here's the gun with the faux ivory grips I just put on it:

That very well may be, but it goes to the reputation on the unreliability of the guns themselves. And don't forget, there was pretty much NO aftermarket presence back then.

Back in the earlier day of S&W automatics, and I'm talking late 1970s, their two full sized guns were the Models 39 and 59. They were both, shall we say, unreliable. I know this first hand because I had a 59, and it was a jammamatic even with FMJ ammo. I don't think that they ever started making a really good automatic until they started making 1911s. Since then though, they've done all right. Most autos of that era had the same reliability problems. Most 1911s still needed tuning, Hi Powers weren't that available, and when they were, they were expensive. There just weren't that many good options that Cops would stake their lives on until the late 1980s. I won't go so far as to say that there weren't reliable autos back then, but they had that reputation.

They both headspace on the rim. The clips are for ejection. Otherwise, you have to punch the emptied out one at a time.

A U.S. Marine Corps Weapons Company, if I decided to invite them.

In my misspent youth, we probably could have finished that off over a long weekend.

Damn global warming. What you need to do is pay more Taxes to fix it.

I just stumbled onto a very interesting video by gun writer Mike Beliveau on this very subject. I may have to try this. The sight I lost was too short anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RIgpYUKMUQ According to youtube this video is age restricted, (because it's about GUNS!!!) so you might have to go to youtube to watch it.

Can I get that from a butane lighter?

Ezetimibe.

How would this be used? Soldering iron? Small torch?

I was at the range today when the front sight of my High Standard .22 flew out. I tried to bang it back into place, but it did it again. It's supposed to sit in a groove like our Cowboy pistols do. How do they stay in there? If it takes tools that I don't have, I figure I can JB Weld it into place, but I'd like to find out how it's supposed to mount.

Since retiring, I've been going to One Medical. They're owned by Amazon, but I started going there before they were. I'm not sure what type of Dr. I have there, but since I'm not an "At Risk" patient, I never see him, but I see his P.A. She's great! ANY question or concern I have is promptly discussed. If she says "Let's try this", and I don't think it's right, she'll try what I want to without hesitation. The last year or so my legs have been giving me trouble. Having seen a couple of posters here saying that Statins are bad, (high cholesterol) I did a little research with Dr. Google, and found that Statins can cause leg pain. I contacted her, and she said to stop taking it and see how I felt. I did, and they felt better. When I saw her this Tuesday, she asked about it, and gave me a new prescription for something that's not a Statin. Bottom line, she doesn't have the usual "I'm a professional and you need to stay off the internet" attitude that many do.

I know what you mean. I carry a Ruger NMV as one of my EDCs. A while back I was at a range with a guy who was interested in Cowboy guns. I let him try my NMV, and just for comparison, an Uberti. Both are .45 Colt, both have 4 3/4" barrels, but I never noticed before how much heavier the NMV is. It feels a bit different in the hand, and the action is heavier than the Uberti too.

Okay, now your making sense. That goes against Government policy.

Now that's just cheating!

A friend if mine got one of these when they were still in production. I'd love to have one, but they cost waaaaay too much these days.

Tom Selleck was able to handle Paradise Ma. with just himself and at most 3 Officers.

The Tauri are my CCW pistols. If I were to have a BBQ gun, it would probably be either my 1911 or my Tombstone Special. Bigmouth: Tombstone:

I'd have to say the Taurus 85. A lot of people don't like Taurus, but I've got 6 of these things and They do everything I'd want a snubbie to do. Second place would be my Cimarron 1860 Richards by Armi San Marcos. You wouldn't expect it to, but if I do my part it'll put 5 shots into one ragged hole.

Mine too for the most part. Though there was one idiot during the Zombie Apocalypse up there wearing a full GAS MASK.
