Show us your Guns!
I have a full time career job and recently changed organizations where I talk guns all day. Anyway I have also had for quite a while a part time gig working for a friend of mine who owns a private investigation firm. In Tennessee we serve warrants on people when the sheriffs dept's are too...- warbird

CB my problem with the seres 80 has to do with the changes in the safety system and the pin block. I consider it more a hindrance than a help. But that's just me. I should not ave said they suck, just they are not what I think is best for a carry piece. Also when I speak of out of the box, I...- warbird

My experience with the Delta was pretty slight. From what I recall, it had a pretty good kick. I never really got into the 10mm craze. Quick lesson for those non-gunnies reading this thread out of an interest in firearms. What is referred to as the 9mm is actually a 9 X 19, that is 9mm...- warbird

My collection of 9mm includes a Sig 228, Italian Beretta, CZ75, P38, Luger, H&K and maybe a couple I am forgetting. I like the 9mm round. If I it to do again I think maybe I'd prefer my Glock 27 to be a 26, 9mm. I also like the .380, which I have in a ppk ad an H & K in the same design as...- warbird

The .38 super has always been very popular for bullseye shooters. Like you I was never a big fan of the round. However I can see why they like them.- warbird

Vintage Sunglasses
I love the Clubmaster. But there are 2 sizes and it seems everytime I find another pair they are the larger frame, which looks terrible on me.- warbird

Got a spare $1,000 Colt's WWI replica
Probably my prized possession of the many things handed down from generation to generation in my family is my 1911 from WWI. There are a number of weapons which are now mine handed down in my military family, but my favorite is my WWI 1911. Yes I have fired it, quite a few times. Most of my...- warbird

I have large hands, so most auto loaders fit me fine. The problem I have is finding smaller frame pistols which feel comfortable. My Glock 27 without the extension grip on the mag would not fit well at all. With it, it fits great.- warbird

Boy how right you are and that nerve I think primarily comes from training and instinct. Obviously that is after a resolve is decided by the person training. In the end I found personally you never know how you will react till or if that time comes. I agree with your assessment of the kind...- warbird

LLBean Gumshoes AKA duck boots
I've had a pair for a long long time. Those and the Land's End that I have both have held up very well. My LL's are non-insulated and the Land's are. I'm sre you might find something less expensive but it's hard to fins a company that stands behind their products like LL Bean. One place...- warbird

There's endless stuff to debate, single v. double action, 9 v. 10 v 4 v 45... You should shoot what you like to shoot and what matches your needs and wants best. Just as long as you know what you need to know to get the most from your firearm. The Colt SAA is a lot of fun. I have a pair of...- warbird

The newer 1911's are by no means sloppy and inaccurate, in fact just the opposite. Modern is by no means better simply because it is new. I tire myself of attitudes that suggest these new plastic guns are not as good as the old guns. It simply is not true. The 1911 tuned is a great weapon...- warbird

I carried one a long time ago for a while. I never truly like the grip cocker, and if you're not fully comfortable with it dont carry it. But to each his own. They are marvelous weapons. I have several H&K's still. You will not go wrong with one of their firearms. I love that collection of...- warbird

If you carry a weapon everyday it is hard to beat the Glock or Sig or HK. These so-called plastic guns are incredibly reliable, extremely accurate, better than 97% of the people can ever challenge them to be, and they handle wear and tear and keep going. Theres tremendous romanticizing of...- warbird

Pipes
Pipes are wonderfully relaxing. I tend to smoke pipes most often in the winter or when I am in my office writing. My favorite pipes are a Brebbia, an old Meershaum Block, a Peevey and a couple of old old Kaywoodie military pipes. If you want to smoke a pipe buy a nice one, even if it is an...- warbird

My new Akubra
Not really. DM is always higher in price and don't forget hats direct also is more expensive by $20 or more once you add shipping from Aussie. There appears to be subtle differences and the adventurer has different measurements, but overall very similar. For felt I'd rank it about the same as... -

Jack, Gentleman or Single Barrel are bot alright, but Dickel is my fav. We used to live just down the street from JD plant and not far...- warbird
