http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/16/AR2009081602250.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&sub=AR This is an interesting piece. Most of us who have gone through FOF and simulation training swear by it. $300 an hour isn't bad. I didn't get even a cupcake! However, if this is taken...

I get bombared with coupons from various big name sporting goods stores via e-mail. They all have guns and ammo. But guess what - in tiny little letters, the coupons don't work on firearms or ammo. Some even disqualifiy some shoe brands and clothing like UnderArmor. I suppose it is the margin...

Lots of guns - no shortage there - ARs, AKs, Glocks, Sigs, XDs, etc. Standard Glock prices are going to the $480s. Lots of 223 and 7.62X39 - mostly Wolf, Monarch, some Remington Handgun ammo - still scarces. Blazer 9mm brass at $26.00 - :barf: What gun did I see and not buy - a NIB snubby SW...

So my friends - I bought a nice SW Model 19 a few months ago and it is time for it to go to an IDPA match. I have some crappy old speed loader holders with snaps but feh! Who makes nice ones for IDPA. Thanks!

One would think so. We use weapons. Some studies with the ever popular college student have found that if they play with a toy gun, they show more aggression in controlled lab situations - like tooting a horn at people. But here's an interesting new piece of research: Do members of shooting...

Yesterday, my wife and I decided to go to a new upscale restaurant for dinner. It was a very nice meal. I decided to order an appetizer - a seared Foie Gras. Two pieces of said liver on toast with a splendid fig sauce and sauteed figs. Yum! However, it cost $14.95. I pondered the cost till...

I was thinking about this as I couldn't find any ammo around town :mad::mad: Maybe IDPA could offer an option for matches or clubs could. How about a one head shot run. No double taps, or Mozambiques. At your option just to get some trigger time but with a modicum of difficulty - each target...
