GUN STUFF

I was surprised by the damage the rice crispy did.

A friend of mine got a deal on a 5 gallon bucket of dime-sized aluminum cutouts from a machinist friend of his. Loaded up a bunch of shells.

They were shit for range or accuracy, but holy make the beast with two backs did they shred anything they hit.

'merica!

make the beast with two backs yeah!

I mean, really, what else would you do with dime sized cutouts?

Mother of invention... and I don't mean Zappa. I like to see things put to an interesting use. Imagine an ER doctor pulling those bits out of a criminal that had been shot.

Put them in the holes of an electrical service box.  :-D

I'd love to see how those things patterned....

About like a blunderbuss.

Anything past 20 or 30 feet out and they'd have separated and started fluttering like coins in a glass of water, going every which way.

The marker was hilarious, did you see the orange "puff?"

Would there be a need to go to the ER if the criminal was shot with Skittles?  Since the Skittles are sugar based, wouldn't the sugar dissolve onto the blood stream?

Added benefit, the criminal who had been shot would now become diabetic.

I'm a fan of Ruger.  One of their factories is a few miles from me and I like their products.  Here's a nice improvement to the LCR.

Being a grade A gun dork I like all guns. But I do have a special spot for snub nose revolvers. Partial to J frame Smiths and old Colt Detective models. The Colts are marginally larger than a J frame and give you that extra shot. I've successfully avoided the lure of the Ruger small frame revolvers. Tempted, yes. Fell for the bait, no. But they did get me on the LCP... they're like dope dealers!

After Xmas house cleaning and helping the wifely unit put up the final holiday decorations in prep for the invasion of the in-laws on Christmas Eve I earned enough kitchen points for a quick run to my local indoor range. The trip was a nice deposit to my sanity account.

Doped in a rifle on the indoor long range and burnt some ammo on the pistol range. Rediscovered an old friend, my Browning Hi-Powers. I have a couple Wayne Novak HPs (replicas of the old FBI HRT pistols) and took an older Belgian model that's stock and well used. They all ran great and it was like a reunion party. Haven't shot them in a while. My bad. The Novaks were my CHL carry gun for years. May be time to start putting some mileage on them again.

The rifle I scoped in will hopefully be the cause of feral pig death at my place over the Christmas holidays. Might even get in a pig hunt at my sister's farm not too far away.

Just finished reloading some .357 rounds with my wife ...she actually enjoyed it

Just got home from Cabela's with my Christmas presents to me:
My first AR-15, a Bushmaster in .223, and a Glock 21 Gen 4.
Can't wait to go play!
