    Show us your Guns!

    The beauty of the .45 ACP is it is a low pressure round that maximizes its case capacity. You have to work to overfill the case (with a too fast powder) to the point the chamber will fail. Working in a range for several years I've seen bulged barrels from shooting into hand-load squibs but...

    What Are You Reading

    Rereading some William Kittridge essays and started in on "The Conscience of a Lawyer". Which I found completely on my own and totally wasn't suggested to me or anything... ;)

    Who is Welcome at The Fedora Lounge?

    Billy (Jason Priestley) from "Tombstone": "I'm sorry, sir, but we got to have some law." Olson Johnson from "Blazing Saddles": "But we don't want the Irish." ;)

    afraid to fly?

    You can add another reason to fear flights over water... (one brief s-word) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I16_8l0yS-g&feature=related

    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    Enjoyed the first episode. I kinda wish they'd put out the DVDs right now. I want to watch it straight through.

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    Edward, As long as you leave room in the trousers for both you and the gun it is a comfortable way to carry, though I do wear mine at or near the waist and fitted, not tight or baggy. Hip huggers and the skin tight jeans the emo kids wear wouldn't work at all. Like WH says, when I buy suits...

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    Ask and ye shall receive. Though it seems in our consumer society someone will provide regardless of the asking. :rolleyes: (the first one is "designer") http://www.koffski.com/index.php?mnav=3206&nnav=3181 http://www.eholster.com/emohocasy.html...

    BBC "Survivors"

    Horrors of War (2006) Story: During the later years of World War II, a group of American soldiers set off to investigate reports of strange events. The Nazis, in a desperate attempt to turn the war around, have been creating zombie super-soldiers. The American must stop them, but they do have...

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    Brad, It's definitely an antique, I think it'd be very functional for the period in which it was made. A lot less sitting around I imagine. :) On my "stuff I should do" list is trying something similar, but for a smaller gun and with more of a crossdraw angle on the muzzle. I like the...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    As for Jack's choice about the bar, the important question is if revenue and profits rose or fell after he left. ;) Seriously though, in any given situation a human being has three, and only three, choices: 1) Escape the situation 2) Seek to change the situation 3) Endure the...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Jack/Doran, I have no problem with lists myself. I'm a golfer, within that label are tiers; I'm a duffer, I'm a scratch golfer, I'm a low handicapper, etc. That's a list, that has a tiering effect in terms of skill, but denotes no negative connotation to any (other than what you usually...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Both of the above are more properly identified simply as authoritarianism. The antithesis of authoritarianism is liberalism, in the classic sense, which nowadays reflects libertarianism to a great degree. I read the first page then jumped back here. On the original question from Jack...

    New Steampunk-ish movie you say? Luc Besson you say?

    The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec. The trailer looks good, set in 1912, mummies, a hatched pterodactyl egg and a plucky young reporter in Paris. From a graphic novel apparently. Link goes straight to trailer. http://www.adeleblancsec-lefilm.com/_en/index.html

    The Abyssinian Campaigns

    I don't think that's off-topic much if at all, considering how it ties this thread into the existing one on the Spanish Civil War. History is a continuity, not a series of discrete incidents.

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    This is an inside-the-waistband holster designed to button to one's suspender buttons (I think it could work with both outside and inside mountings). The suspender would attach to the loop at the top. I believe the gun is a Colt Lightning? Makes sense as a way to support a holster not in a...
