    Movie Theater Most realistic/unrealistic action/shooter movies?

    "Way of the gun" actual fight scenes were OK - dudes get hurt, and shot, and people miss - a lot, and have to do stuff besides pull the trigger, but the rest of the movie didn't do much for me. Never could get behind a bad guy. God bless America

    Ruptured Achilles tendon this afternoon, what's next...

    Like many here I had the bicep thing in '97. Got it sewed back on, started deadlifting with a hook grip and surpassed previous numbers. The same is in store for you. VERY IMPORTANT: do what they say WRT PT. If they tell you to rest, rest. When it's time to go, then don't take counsel of...

    Suggestions for next gun purchase?

    This is a good problem to have. Recommend either getting one set up for your wife, kids, grandkids. If that base is covered then Training. Take a week - or two - off work and pay for some training from a reputable organization. STRONGLY consider first aid / trauma medicine class, and...

    30-06 still relevant?

    Gents, I'm a fan of the '06 myself and have a few questions based on using a 10 twist bbl. 1. Anyone shot 155's and how did they do? Hodgdon's manual has them at 3150ish with H4350. Don't know how accurate, but if it groups that'd be worth a look. Should I just confine my search to 175's...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Holster recommendations for 5" 627

    Gents, Thanks for the replies. I may have to go this route, but I'd really like Kydex with all kinds of retention on a belt holster. For CC, the two above seem to be solid. Happy new year and God bless America

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Holster recommendations for 5" 627

    Paging @308pirate and any other wheel gunners. On another note, I'm a fan of IWB for CC. Any recommendations in that arena for an N-frame? Sourdough pancake, maybe? God Bless America.

    Rifle Scopes LVPO with the best eye box?

    Bushnell has a 1-8.5 on their website that is listed out of stock. Why no love for Bushnell? i've not handled one of these, but own two LRSTi's and am happy with them, especially for the money. gotta admit that the Razor 1-6 is awesome, though. Paging @koshkin and @Hollywood6mm Merry...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Holster recommendations for 5" 627

    Gents, Looking for something along the lines of a safariland ALS for the revolver in the subj line. Really would like something with retention (other than gravity) as I'll have this on me either riding or running through the brush after hogs. Won't always be in my hand, hence the need for...

    Gearing Up Before a Ban

    This. You need to have first aid training, be in shape, have good feet, and know how to get potable water from non. Communication would be a good skill to have. FWIW, all the above, even the quote, are things we need to be doing as good Americans so that you'll be a help in an auto...

    What in the Sam Hill?? LEO charged with murder for taking down an "active shooter."

    @trippin, your friend is getting railroaded. If you're not burning up social media with this travesty, start. He (and other LE) needs all the help he can get. Everyone with a badge ain't Comey and Muller. Keep this story alive. God bless America

    Maintaining Strength While Injured

    You can do this. I know. I did. Tore my left bicep in '97. in a sling for 75 days. During that time I PCS'd all of my gear in the back of my truck (manual xmsn) by myself. Stuff's harder but you can still do it. Squat- get yourself a safety squat bar. Cinch up the bad arm tight to your...

    22 trainer - Again

    Gents, Thanks very much for your replies. Question re: distance? 100 yards and in. My backyard range is 60 yards and 99% of the shooting would be me and the kids on a dueling tree at that distance. The plates are 6" and I paint a 2" circle in the center of each plate. NighthawkCG...

    22 trainer - Again

    Gents, I've been shooting my AR a lot lately so considering going that direction for a 22 trainer. Options I see right now are to either purchase an M and P 15/22 or go with the CMMG conversion. Obviously the CMMG is the cheapest, but is this even effective out to 100, given the twist...

    Movie Theater Rambo: Last Blood

    When I was a teenager I was watching one of the Rambo movies on TV. My sainted Mother walks thru the living room with a disgusted look on her face and says, "That's about right. Sylvester Stallone can make movies about Vietnam, but he was too afraid to go over there. He might have hurt his...
