    Besides building my AR arsenal, I have not purchased a new gun in quite some time. I am ready for a new 1911. Smaller one. Whatcha think???

    Cabot is heavily on my radar because they make a left handed 1911. I’m a lefty, and I want a matched pair of 1911’s, one lefty for the left and one righty for the right. Dual shoulder holster rig of course. I’ve not seen them do a HiPower though…

    Besides building my AR arsenal, I have not purchased a new gun in quite some time. I am ready for a new 1911. Smaller one. Whatcha think???

    Tangent but these are some of the most beautiful firearms on the planet, in my own personal estimation.

    Imagine, if you will, the mental hash behind this level of projection. Your kid doesn’t give a damn about Elon or twitter, you forgot to change their diaper you self absorbed imbecile!

    Young people in NYC/NYS have high unemployment rate

    My eldest son is ok with the legal amount of hours, as his job is accommodating him with his sports commitments (he does swim and lacrosse, and is firmly unwilling to short either one). The other is decidedly not ok with the legal amount of hours but isn’t scrambling to find a second gig (yet)...

    Besides building my AR arsenal, I have not purchased a new gun in quite some time. I am ready for a new 1911. Smaller one. Whatcha think???

    My goal upon freeing myself from this gulag is to acquire a Nighthawk 1911, a Nighthawk Hi-Power, and one of those very fancy Korth revolvers they carry. Possible kidney sale pending, minimal alcohol exposure, zero illicit pharmaceutical exposure, A+ blood type, manufacture date 1977. But...

    Young people in NYC/NYS have high unemployment rate

    Nonsense. Both my 16 year old sons have jobs, and didn’t have to look too hard to find them. One is a dishwasher at a local and very popular restaurant, the other works for a trampoline park. Gotta start somewhere, but they both max their allowable hours (for students during school year)...

    Small town Iowa police chief charged with lying to ATF to get 90 machine guns

    I have no idea why they need them, but I certainly need some myself. I’m not gonna say 90, but the answer to how many guns is always N + 1, where N = the number of guns you already own. Besides, machine guns are historically significant to collectors as they represent important milestones in...

    Dedham Mass Town Library bans Xmas Tree - then UN-BANS it. Aethist Snowflake goes ballistic and is fired.

    Weirdly, an inordinate number of them tend to be middle aged white women. For the life of me I can’t figure out how that crowd is so demographically narrow.

    Giambalvo v Suffolk County

    This is the inherent problem with “training requirements” in states which require a permit for possession, and I’m quite certain we all saw this coming. 1. Require permit for possession 2. Arrest or threaten anyone touching a handgun sans permit, even under training circumstances to obtain said...

    Dedham Mass Town Library bans Xmas Tree - then UN-BANS it. Aethist Snowflake goes ballistic and is fired.

    Well isn’t she a charming beacon of positivity! Just the champion of human rights the town of Dedham needs! Or not, since she quit… oh well.

    White House Considering Digital dollar

    This is precisely how you move society back to a barter economy, along with a booming black market. I’m gonna start making alcohols… in addition to use as a cleaner and fuel, some are pretty popular to drink.

    Arkansas Democrat Rep Vivian Flowers leads push to restore firearms rights to non-violent felons.

    Well that’s unexpected. But why not? If you’ve paid your debt to society and been released, should you not be made a whole citizen again?

    Perhaps, but maybe he initially had a whim, tried to back out, then figured what the hell, let’s just send it? I know I’ve done that with impulses before….

    A Peek Inside the FBI’s Unprecedented January 6 Geofence Dragnet

    Opsec fail. If you were concerned about backlash from a three letter organization while attending such an event (I would have been), it would have been prudent to leave it in your hotel or similar, perhaps in a faraday bag.

    Musk Takes Control of Twitter, Immediately Fires Top Executives

    I still maintain he’s doing this for a lark. It’s not about free speech, he only says that to tweak the noses of the left. He bought Twitter and took it private on a whim, just because he could, and is acting just like someone who bought a new toy would. Ergo, my bank account/schlong is bigger...

    BREAKING NEWS FROM Target Sports USA (NY Ammo Shipping)

    I’m in acquiring-ammo mode, have reduced my consumption significantly. To the point that I actually haven’t burnt any powder in NY in several months… a trend that given current events is likely to continue.

    BREAKING NEWS FROM Target Sports USA (NY Ammo Shipping)

    I’m already buying all my ammo out of state, in person, with cash. Sadly I hate to see options disappear… I was about to place an order with TSUSA for some Arisaka fodder too.

    Hawaii gun permit ruling sides with ‘homesick’ Navy officer

    In NY, if there’s any psychiatric history at all, I suspect that would be used as a pretext for denial of rights. I mean, this is the state that has an Office of Mental Health, which has its own armed officers with state police authority (IIRC, been awhile).

    Nothing stopping you from purchasing a long gun in a state that doesn’t restrict person to person sales.

    All things Midterms/Primaries

    This would be a good reason for politicians who aspire to a different political position be mandated to resign or wait until their term ends before campaigning for the next position. So, Secretary… you want to run for Governor but your term isn’t up? Resign and run, or stay and shut up. Glaring...

    Hochul plans renewed push against illegal guns

    While this would perhaps be commendable if true, it in point of fact is patently false. They have absolutely no plan to deal with “illegal” guns or more importantly, the criminals who use them. Penalties for using a stolen weapon in a crime, or removing a serial number from such a gun, for...

    NYC, is as safe as ever ~~~~not

    As a motorcyclist and sometime motorcycle racer (I sucked but had fun), the only strength a motorcycle has in a conflict with a cage is ability to change speed and direction quicker than most, and to pass through smaller spaces… in other words, evasion. That’s it. As an assault platform the...

    Love the flintlock pistol, but wtf is that revolver? BB gun, art piece? It doesn’t appear to be able to chamber anything judging from the look of it.

    The trolling is epic. I’m really starting to believe he bought Twitter just to troll people. Which makes him a mega narcissist but from the outside it’s pretty damn hilarious! :popcorn:

    Anyone up to speed on pre-charged pneumatic filling systems?

    The specs sold me, and the range of available calibers. I’m definitely snagging a .22 and a .50, because why not? Found bullet molds to suit as well so can scrounge wheel weights and cast my own. I’m not so concerned about shooting deer with it, that’s my son’s job and he likes granddad’s 6.5...

    Anyone up to speed on pre-charged pneumatic filling systems?

    Looking to invest in a few large caliber PCP rifles myself, currently eyeing the Airforce Texans. For my money, I’m getting a compressor… every other option seems to involve too much time and/or waiting on other people (filling scuba tanks). Time is money and by the time I’ve hand pumped a bunch...

    Holosun Launches P. ID Weaponlight Series

    Do elaborate. I’ve got a few of their flashlights and have had zero issues thus far. I work nights so I’m a pretty heavy flashlight abuser.

    Attorney General James Cracks Down on Online Ammunition Sellers Illegally Shipping Ammunition to New York

    I see a chain of stores from Matamoras to Erie working out well. I’m down for one in the Hallstead/Great Bend area. Hey! Maybe the Seneca could pick up on that too, since they love to kick sand at NYS from time to time.

    Musk Takes Control of Twitter, Immediately Fires Top Executives

    Maybe, just maybe, he did buy Twitter just to systematically dismantle it. We may never know… or care!

    A-8102A/S-6363A signed by the Governor

    I’m thinking a secure storage facility in a free state, with onsite FFL to handle shipping and receiving, is more and more a worthwhile business venture. Save your property from arbitrary and capricious seizure, etc.

    All things Midterms/Primaries

    Didn’t video my vote, but the machine fed in the ballot, incremented the count by one, and returned to a ready state, so I guess it worked. I suspect all the chicanery happens on the backend anyway.

    DEC nets 154-pound sturgeon on Cayuga Lake

    DEC nets 154-pound sturgeon on Cayuga Lake

    Pretty sure that isn’t legal. But rules don’t apply to DEC, and they have alarmingly wide jurisdiction and state police authority.

    Musk Takes Control of Twitter, Immediately Fires Top Executives

    If I had funding enough to buy a social media company on the rocks and take it private, I’d systematically dismantle it, strip mine the codebase for any saleable IP, and put the domain name up for sale when I was done, along with any real estate. After all, who would I answer to? A board of...
