I found this interesting. It is a military training video from WWII for the 1911. Nice to be able to use tracers for point shooting feedback, I guess today we have lasers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=ntCHPTWbxlw

Hey guys, a lot of new faces around here, but still some of the old names I recognize. I have not been around much for the last 5 years with the career change there is just no time. Not even to lurk. For those of you who remember I use to try to provide a little advanced information about the...

Hey guys, lots of new faces I see. I haven't been around much for the last couple of years, but felt this was important enough for the Texas and Oklahoma people to know. If it was already posted I apologize. Dr. David E. Avery, 76, of McKinney passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2008, due to...

At the request of many people here, back in Jan 1999, I posted the first SHOT Show report from Atlanta, Ga. Since then I got a sponsor for the web site, so it doesn't cost anything, bought the domain name, and have posted annual reports from the show. TFL is now going away as is the...

One other new news item. I must dedicate this to my personal inspiration, Jim March. I recently began a new contract with one of the state agencies here in Austin. I have a Texas CHL and I am use to carrying at work. There is a 30.06 sign on the front door of the building, but it is not...

Hi guys! I have been gone for about a month and I am trying to get caught up, but I wanted to get this out there so you would know. I was at the Dallas Market Hall gun show on Oct 5 and was able to say hello to Dr David Avery, commonly known as Doc Walther to gun show goers on the Texas show...

I guess we have all figured out by now that I am a fan of RBCD ammo and have used it in my carry guns for over 2.5 years. The U.S. govt has begun using it in various roles including the new speciality round for the Sky Marshall's on airplanes. There are other links to stories about the work by...

I was finally able to fly out of the Austin airport during the Independence Day holiday. There is what is debatibly a valid 30.06 sign restricting the carry of handguns within the airport terminal. Under Texas law this restricts the carry of a handgun from the front door of the terminal to the...

Story on right now. Bliss ninnies are are freaking, but Birch coming off quite well. Jeff Goldblatt did the story.

I just wanted to announce that my gumsmith in OKC will be accepting, at first, additional walk in work from Oklahoma. Todd McCutchen is his name and I have used him since 1989. To give you an idea of how good he is, Todd had 7 1911's finish in the top 25 at Camp Perry in 1991. He had been...

Well guys, once again I will be doing the reports from the SHOT Shot. I even bought a new digital camera to take pictures so I didn't have to rent one like last year. My son will be doing the photography this year again as well. I will post on this thread every night when I have that days...

I had not been able to post until now. I had noticed some strange noises a couple of time Friday, but when I investigated there was nothing there. Then it happened. I was awakened Saturday AM by a loud noise, grabbed the gun and went to investigate. I ended up firing 5 times, 3 were head...

I a looking to buy a Walther P99 in .40 S&W. As I look around I am finding one marked QPQ. I found the P990 which is the double action version, what is a QPQ?

On a Greyhound bus headed who knows where, three strangers meet and start conversing about the recent worldly events. The strangers were of varying cultures: One was a native American. Another was a West Texan cowboy from Lubbock. The third person was a devout Muslim. During their...

I finally shot my Walther P22 over the weekend. This was the gun that I pick as the great find of the SHOT Show 2000. I have the longer barrelled version since that is all that is out there right now and it is a fun little gun to shoot. I only had problems with a couple of rounds in the first...

I went to the local sporting goods store today, the one near my office, to buy a brick of .22 ammo. While there I looked over a limited selection of handguns (about 12) and longguns (about 5). I found out that there are now only two stores on the island (pop 150,000) that sell guns and ammo...

I can't believe it!! I arrived on the island of Guam on 7/24/01 and will be here until mid-Oct, making it back just in time for the Tulsa gun show. I will be back following SHOT next year and will be out here for 2-3 months at a time twice a year. Since they have good weather here year round...

I have been carrying concealed for 20 years and this is a first. I had S&W 342 in a pocket holster in the front pocket of my jeans, the same way I have carried a J-frame at my last job for a year and a half. A group of us were standing around talking and out of the blue a young lady in the...

Well, my last anyway. I GET TO GO BACK TO TEXAS!!!! I have been working up here in the cold north for 17 months and finally get to go home for a job in Austin. As a result I will be doing my last 1500 on Sat. Stop by Vern's Guns and say hi if you get a chance.
