The only way to get better at malfunction drills is to have malfunctions.

Just like how I became the malfunction clearance king in my police academy class with my issued stainless 70 series Colt 1911 with CMC mags put together and "tuned" by my department armorer... who was/is also one of "the great" 1911 armorers Colt paid to travel the world to teach factory armorer classes....

eL oH eL. Before I knew any better..... He ruined a Kart barrel of mine by using a live round as a headspace gauge, cut it way too deep, and advised me to just trim more off the barrel hood because "no 1911 can be run" with a tight lug to breechface dimension.

For those of you in the know, his first name is Dean.
 

It's funny. There's a guy in Brazil by the name of "Marcio.Israel." He's a tour guide and publishes video shorts of IDF and Israeli Border patrol soldiers (mostly females and mostly a$$ shots) taken all over Jerusalem, but primarily in the "Western Wall" plaza.. I attribute that to his being Brazilian. Remember, where folks in North America / Europe focus on "boobs." folks in South America (Argentina and Brazil) focus on the "derriere." Brazil even has an annual "Miss Bum Bum" pageant.





Sheesz, the guitar guy is pretty damned good!

Now, a question. If you look at a lot of these videos of the soldiers in formation, you'll see that most of the ladies have their hair out in a free fall or a long pony tail. I believe US Military (especially the Marine Corps) requires long hair to be "bunned up." I think also US LE also requires that hair be bunned up. THe logic being, if you're engaging in Hand-to-Hand combat, a long pony tail is an easy thing for an opponent to grab onto to gain an advantage. With the hair in a bun, it is much less so. And for LEOs in class "A" uniforms the tie is a "clip on" for the very same reason... if it's pulled upon, it comes right off.

Is there some skill IDF soldiers have to counter an attack with full hair?

trivia: Cali area of Colombia is along the west coast of Colombia. 200 years ago or so African slaves were introduced to this area for various reasons (Colombia ignores this history for the most part), so many women have naturally big bootys in this part of Colombia
 

An old warhorse rides again:

A Colt M1877 'Lightning' revolver built in 1902 chambered in .38 Long Colt and exhibiting major rust and pitting from being stored inside it's leather holster for decades is restored back into operating condition.




In the black powder and 1911 shooting circles, it is well documented that blued steel and leather holsters do NOT mix when it comes to long term security and upkeep of conditions. Genuine leather holsters have a tendency to wick ambient moisture out of the air where the accumulated water droplets will then interact with the firearm stored inside in a negative fashion. When stored for long periods of time, it is common wisdom now to store guns and holsters/gun socks and sleeves separately inside a moisture proof display and transport case with a few fresh silica gel packs tossed in and rotated as needed for the best reliability.

keep em clean and dry and you won’t have them problems

Brother in laws bachelor party and one of his moron friends like those guys…I’m not. My brother in law actually jokingly said “Brian doesn’t really screw around”. In hindsight he knew what usually happens.

After a bunch of drinking he started fucking around with the other guys, I was kind of the odd man out in the crew.

He came up behind me and hit my balls with his club while I was setting up

I turned around a hit him with a elbow, his cheek swelled up like a balloon at the strip club..he looked like the elephant man
