The cats and dogs were already there when we got married so my wife knew what she was getting into!

I was able to give the new 637 a quick test drive before work today at 10 yards with 3.2 grains Titegroup under 148 grain Lyman wadcutters. I'm happy to report that she is shooting great! As long as that continues I'll be very happy, it certainly has been the case for my older 637.

So, I did some trading and ended up with a practically new with box and papers S&W 637-2 .38 Special and some reloading stuff. This revolver is as close to new as possible, zero cylinder turn line, no holster wear, no perceptible end shake, etc. I’m really stoked about it because I have another...

One of my college friends was like that. Had a huge arsenal and tons of reloading stuff but it was a cold day in hades when he actually went shooting.

I worked at RK for five years. Good company overall, but they do some things bass-ackwards and refuse to change even though they lose a lot of sales from it.

The Browning Hi-Power is my favorite handgun of all time and I have one of the last ones produced by FN. I really like the traditional style Hi Powers offered by Inglis, I wonder if they are Browning parts compatible?

For 200.00, yes!! You could easily sell it for twice that much if you don't like it.

I have the Kimber Micro .380 which is the exact same thing. Good little gun and surprisingly accurate, but don't feed it any hot loads. Stick with regular FMJ or equivalent and you'll be good. Also, keep the underside of the extractor clean. It is fixed, so any dirt can cause a jam or fail to...

My favorite lower cost 9mm is the S&W SD9. Only $300.00 new, and you can get one like new from a pawn shop for $200.00 or less. I have three of them and they are as accurate and dependable as anything else I have including Glock, Sig, and Browning. The one and only mod I do is the reduced power...

Wow, you're on a roll! You might want to start mining your backstop for lead, I would be glad to buy it from you.

When I saw what Kobalt had become, I sold all mine on Fleabay for more than what I paid for them. Not interested in grossly inferior warranty replacements. Sadly, Snap On did the same thing to Blue Point. When I first got in the business, Blue Point tools were awesome. They were USA made and...

There's a few more there now, but I still try not to visit either one!

Original Kobalt tools were fantastic, every bit as good as Mac/Matco/Cornwell and very close to Snappy. Its really sad how Lowe's has dumbed them down to just another throwaway.

Nowadays, the MPG difference between gas and diesel has narrowed and the price of diesel has gone up to the point that I don't see how you save any money with a diesel unless you're towing all the time. And of course, modern diesel emissions junk won't stay fixed. To give credit where credit is...
