I shoot at 10 yards and can keep them all on a paper plate. I used to own a Glock 23 and could knock down bowling pins at 25 yards in the sitting position.
I'm guessing that the Ruger six-shooter chambered for .45-70 Government is today's equivalent to trying to tote around an old original .44 Colt's Walker.
I just need a nice boot knife. Also looking at a hatchet and machete. He he he... Still on the prowl for my full size side arm and rifle/carbine. Then I'm good 😁
A nice collection of Pumas, Bucks, Gerbers, Swiss Armies, Spydercos, Balisongs, Benchmades, Bokers, Kabars, a nice Applegate Fairbain, boot knives, and others..... still available for sale. Make an offer.
@motie2 A very nice collection! That's the best triangle dagger I had for sale in my shop. The brass butt tanto looks like the made in Taiwan version, a very nice piece. The silver and black balisong is a heavy fist load as well a fast opener, is it serrated? The stainless Spyderco is a very well made ergonomic model.
It's a nice, fine wooden handled boot knife. I'll get around to opening the box and see if there are any details on the blade quality or manufacturer.....
Blade double sided, razor sharp, full tang, blade marked 21-295, Japanese steel, reinforced leather sheath with metal belt/booth clip Not recommended, as there is no way of securing knife in sheath, except gravity. There are better bootknives in this ollection.
9mm plinking doesn't appear to be so expensive any more; Lake Martin reloads for 0.38 per round ($19 a box). Yes, these are reloads, but Lake Martin does a quality job of it. Still twice as much as it used to be, but going in the right direction.
I have a Fisher Space Pen with a more conventional design and some waterproof notebooks my brother gave me. It no BS writes in the rain, under water, wherever, whenever on the waterproof paper.
In the winter I got tired of reaching under a sweater to grab a pen. The Space Pen goes right in your pants pocket..... and never leaks, as the cartridge is sealed.
My EDC is a Glock model 30 .45, and a pouch of St. Bruno ready rubbed, usually accompanied by a Peterson system. I really like my Taurus G2C 9mm also. It’s so compact you don’t even realize it’s there.
A 45 is a hell of a gun for every day carry...how do you where it, IWB or OWB? I mostly carry my S&W 637, but sometimes switch it out for a 9mm Shield--I usually carry IWB though. In the winter I'll sometimes carry my double stack 9mm M&P, although I carry that OWB since I'm usually wearing a flannel shirt or coat.
Why in the world is someone who is ignorant and/or scared of guns and ammunition actually in charge of loading them? "I kind of just caught on by myself," she said. "I think loading blanks was, like, the scariest thing to me because I was like, 'Oh, I don't know anything about it.'"
@vtgrad2003 Yea, it makes little sense. Not to say that youth is an issue, but heck, I think I read that the armorer is like 24 years old. It seems like there was some very lax firearms safety protocols. What the heck are live rounds doing anywhere near a movie set? Blanks are plenty dangerous as it is. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. As I see it, there are three scenarios. The armorer screwed up and didn’t check or secure the weapon. The person that handed the firearm to Mr. Baldwin stuck a live round or rounds in it, or Mr. Baldwin stuck a live round or rounds in it. The last two seem unlikely, but possible. I feel for the family of the lady killed, accident or not.
Having been a civil war reenactor for the better part of the last 25 years, I have seen things go bad on more than one occasion. When you have that many guys with firearms, the chance of having an accident is always there. I will say that for the most part the guys I have been in the field with have all been very safety oriented. On the few occasions where people have gotten hurt, the persons and or shooters involved have been prosecuted and more often then not been found guilty. I don't see too much of a difference in this case. Ultimately it's the responsibility of the person holding the fire arm whether it's yours, borrowed, or handed to you.
@Zouave I am in agreement…mostly. In this case, not knowing the actual circumstances, as much as I hate to say it, I doubt actors would be expected to check the firearm. They might not even know which end is dangerous, especially if the armorer is/was less than thorough. An actor may even be restricted from checking a firearm? They might not even know the difference from a blank or live round anyway, it would be tough to tell. The firearm in this case sounds like it should have been empty of any rounds per the situation. The old adage “don’t point a weapon of any kind at anything you do not want to destroy” may not even apply here. From what I read, he was practicing a draw in a “gunfight” towards the camera….and he would have been aiming directly at the camera/and sadly the people that were injured and killed. A very tough situation and a sad, sad, chain of events.

ahhh I love seeing a switch to S&W from Glock! Lol. Of course I’m biased because I have nothing but Smiths lol
Maybe you are on to something there with all those nice knives!

I haven’t seen the Ruger 45-70 revolver…guess I make with the G😳gle.
