Very nice! My gunsmith buddy could relate to this very easily, right up his alley. He's retired too, and always has a project or 6 going on. Me, I have 4 more years until retirement...holding on for dear life!

Woulda been better if she hadn't opened the charge holder and pulled out a cough drop...

We get random UAs all the time. Yes, the toilet bowl is full of blue dye, and the place is secured just for testing, which blows since the closest other men's room is in Communications, which is a restricted area. Fortunately...I'm the boss and I can get in there. Other staff, not so much. I was UA'd in the Navy as well, always laughed. I have never done any illegal drugs in my life and have no inclination to start - alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are my drugs of choice, in moderation...well, except for coffee.

Nice! I am just getting into 32 SW Short, and the dies alone are over $50. But that's for a beautifully restored H&R Young American revolver, not in my hands yet.

New York Reload, sometimes faster than a spare mag, but I cannot use ankle holsters in best of times, too fat and old. Did it take you a while to smooth out the draw?

Sir, no offense taken whatsoever, and I grieve with thee. Now let us move past the dark into the light once again.

See, now THAT makes sense!

Keeps on going and going, ain't that good looking, just bombproof. 😁 On the other hand, keeping the theme of this place, I HAVE considered getting one of the single action belt holsters Mernickle has/had discounted and carry my Uberti Ranch Hand to work someday, just to watch people freak out. Still wouldn't have loose rounds, but I would have a belt slide!🤠

My mothers family came from far north MN, been back several times in the past, but everyone is gone now. And I agree on trading up - my second wife is a GIANT improvement over the first!

I am indeed and you may know my in-laws, as my wife's family has been here for over 100 years. Don't worry, I have WAY too much fun to give this up! I know my Territorial Governor said he won't be going to Bordertown this year, the first time he's missed it in years, sounded quite upset about it. Edit to add, I copied the images and sent them to my blushing bride. She'll see it in the morning. Quick questions - how far from town is the match? The last time I was there we stayed at the Tombstone Motel doing the tourist thing again. Meh. Got sick at the breakfast place down the street. Crystal Palace had great fish and chips though. There will be vendors of all kinds of Western/Cowboy themed items so she could have some fun shopping? I saw the application says one meal voucher - food on site as well? How late can the application be sent in, I would have to make some "arrangements" at the least. I see not much ammo required for that many shooting days, plenty of time to jaw jack and meet/greet. Got any pictures of BorderTown past? Am I really annoying or what? 🤪

Stab proof and bullet proof are most certainly NOT the same thing - I've worn stab vests for years, and the originals had thin steel plates backed by Kevlar. Heavy and a huge pain. Modern vests can be purchased with both a Spike and Ballistic resistance rating, but you will pay, oh, you will pay through the nose.

Movie "Deadly Weapons" from the early 80s. He stuffs magazines in his shirt and shoots himself with a 44, then discharges the rest of the cylinder into the dirt to prove they weren't blanks. Also had a bunch of other fun stuff, like the "357 will penetrate an engine block" and spraying and praying with a full auto rifle versus aimed semi auto, how a bullet won't knock you over with a guy getting shot in a rifle proof vest with an FAL, just to name a few. The END of the video is the best part...

I liked the P-220, but I hated paying extra just for the name.

I carried a P-01 for many years, good solid gun. I started in the P-10 series with the P-10C, and liked it instantly. The P-10S is a subcompact pistol that shoots like a much bigger gun, love it, carries well, works like a champ. I've been a CZ guy for decades...heck, I own the website.

Yes, that WOULD be a hike for you, but you could try some darn fine Southwest dining, too!
