    9mm or 45cal

    Guns are like cars. Everyone has their personal likes or dislikes based on their experiences, experiences of friends or stories told around the range table. I caution people about listening to "military" or "police" officers when making decisions about firearms for personal protection. Reason...

    9mm or 45cal

    I tell folks all the time, if it is made by, maintained by or forged by man, it will faill. Maintenance fact of life we called it. All we can do is lube it, wipe it down, brush it out and oil it and hope when we need it most it doesnt fail. But if we do all that chances are it will work.

    9mm or 45cal

    Correct to a point, but bottom line: If you can not HIT your target, no matter the caliber, or type of ammunition you will do NO DAMAGE NOR WILL YOU PROTECT YOURSELF PERIOD. I have fired 45, 38 and 9mm in combat situations. All are fine guns. Had I not known how to aim, hold and...

    9mm or 45cal

    True, but kinetic energy of a 45 versus a 9, there is quite a bit of difference. I have fired both in combat, and round for round I would take the 45 to combat and leave the 9 in the arms room. The wounds caused by the rounds make the difference, and with the ammo coming out for the self...

    Purchasing my first Fedora

    JK hit the nail solid. Down south along the Gulf, you wear a felt during the summer by 10am youre a puddle on the pavement. Get a nice straw for summer, and these can be had for a decent price (compared to felts) and if you ruin them aweating, no big deal just buy a new one! For winter get...

    9mm or 45cal

    With the new ammo on the market these days, a 380 can open to the point of being as or more lethal than a 45. What would you like to do with the gun? If your paper punching, then a 9 wouldnt be a bad choice. Ammo isnt too bad (I say that with tongue in cheek as all ammo is expensive these...

    Newly discovered color photos from inside Hitler’s private home

    Thanks for sharing Ms Blue. I do like some of the suits in the photo, but I always had a draw to the style of the 30s and 40s. Color does add a certain "newness" to that time. It is kind of surreal seeing those folks in color. I LOVE the shots of Berchtesgarden. I visited the Morale and...

    Golden Age Farming

    Rogue, nice story! Spent a day or two in the summer doing the same thing with my grandparents place. While stationed in Germany we were in the field, being early summer it was raining. We were in a foxhole with water almost to the top of our boots, my buddy who was a son of a dairy farmer...

    Golden Age Farming

    And many a marriage was averted with that one single question! :D I remember one young lady's father asking me at the door, "Son, what color tractor you sit?" I replied, "Ive sat green, red, blue and yellow and the one thing I have come to think on this subject is, they all ride rough, make...

    Golden Age Farming

    I know what ya mean, it was International Trucks, Ford Pickups, John Deere Tractors and Chevy Cars. If you deviated from those, you better have a good excuse..... LOL My dad still uses his 8N daily. They are a solid tractor for sure. I loved the photo of your Ford going to town shoveling...

    Golden Age Farming

    Cool thread! My grandfather used mules till he sold the farm in the early to mid 70s. He had a B Farmall that my dad bought by sending money home when he was drafted in 61. It is still running and farming for the folks down the road from the old homestead. While growing up some of the old...
