Happy Halloween

3D bleeding targets

Halloween means Trick or Treating in my neighborhood. I usually get a couple hundred kids at my door.

Every year there are several zombies.

I wonder if this year the count may be higher. Zombies still increase in popularity. Books, TV and Movies about Zombies remain popular.

New targets are coming out every day at the range.

Everyone knows to kill a Zombie you need a head shot! The training propaganda programs have been working.

--So if you see Zombies tonight. Be sure before you shoot...

Hurricane Sandy

We temporally interrupt our scheduled programming for a brief message:

The storm hammered my area in Virginia. Millions of homes are without power. Trees are down all over. People are just poking their heads out for a peek today.

My wife no longer thinks I'm nuts for storing emergency candles, flashlights, batteries, water, food and toilet paper!

--Be safe out there.

New Gun Store!

There is a new Gun Store near me. I stopped in today today for the first time.

It is actually is in a log cabin building. Very nice.

Plus they have an actual Ferret Armoured Car for sale!

The thing is even road legal!

They said inside that they have a Barret .50 semi auto fit for the top.

What I wonder is would it be legal to drive the thing on the highway while looking through the para-scopes?

Perfect for the Zombie Apocalypse!

It could be yours for $30k!

--I love the antique plates!

Updated: Thanks, Murphy!

Man gets his pants shot off!

Friday Gun Porn

As I wait for the SBR ATF paperwork to get done I can't help but to keep upgrading my new AR. I loved my Lego's as a kid and now this is way worse.

--Happy Friday!! Is it O-Beer-Thirty yet?!

Lefties Rejoice

Stag Arms 2L - Lefties Rejoice!

I hope T-Bolt doesn't get pissed off because he just built his first AR-15!

Stag Arms makes a true left handed upper for the AR-15 platform.

Just the upper is all you need. It fits on any AR-15 lower with no modifications.

If you just all an ambidextrous safety onto the lower you are never going to have to worry about hot brass again!

The upper is actually a picatinny flat top. this pic shows it configured with a handle sight. The upper only can be had for about $150, with barrel and all about $500 depending on configuration.

UPDATE: I changed out the pic. Thanks, Anon.

--I must suck to be left handed.

Zombie Run!

Zombies are still big. So are these obstacle course runs that involve crawling in mud at some point.

The last one of these had almost as many Zombies as runners.

I see this one is being held at a paintball park. I think it would be great to issue a paint ball gun to the runners and goggles to the Zombies.

Head shots!

--That would be some fun!! 

Gun Porn

Chiappa Rhino

I finally got to shoot a Chiappa Rhino. The big bad ass stainless steel version.

I have to say the feel of the thing is amazing. The recoil with .357mag rounds is a smooth push. It also doesn't ride up. Target re-acquisition seems easier.

It is really difficult to describe. The recoil doesn't kick the gun up so much. It doesn't want to rock your wrist back as much. But it does push the impact all the way straight back. This is all due to the new grip configuration and that the rounds fire from the BOTTOM of the drum.

This model is the big ugly scary looking world of hurt. It's ready for add on items, like optics or a bayonet!

I really need to try the small compact version. That could very easily be an IWB carry piece.

--It needs a picatinny Zombie killin spike!

Too Many Hobbies

Whatever way you roll the dice, crossbows are cool. More accuracy than a standard bow, no effort to hold back the drawstring once its nocked. In this how to we'll show you how to build your own crossbow in your back shed using nothing more than some popular woodworking tools. 

Full detail plans are included thanks to this awesome reprint of an old Mechanix Illustrated article. 

--I love the way all the old magazines are finding their way to the web.

AR-15 Pistol Mods

I am still planning a few upgrades for my AR-15 Pistol. I'm not the only one!

Licking The Third Rail

Reaching his hand toward one of the biggest political Third Rails

I swear President Obama doesn't want to get re-elected.

During the first debate he acted like his was distracted because he was missing Dancing with the Stars, like the whole being President this was just a big bother.

It's like after that he went back and talked to Michelle asking, "What issue will cost me the most votes if I mention it at the next debate?"

Not only did he show himself opposed to the 2nd Amendment, he brought up a renewal of the failed Assault Weapons Ban. and he added to the mix banning inexpensive guns to the mix.

Here is a good article by Emily Miller in the Washington Times.

There is a lot of swing voters that are gun owners. People that only voted for him last time because gun control was not on his overt agenda. Democrats, the poor, women and minorities included who may now be starting to believe Fast and Furious.

--I don't think he wants to be re-elected. I'm sure it will be NRA's fault...

I Ordered Another Holster

Crossbreed SuperTuck Deluxe

I have been carrying my 1911 in my Crossbreed Holster for a couple years now. I want more options.

I love the holster though.

So I ordered another Crossbreed SuperTuck Deluxe in black for my Beretta Px4.

My Px4 is a double stack .40cal and I will be interested in seeing how the extra 1/2 in thickness will print.

It will be double the rounds and many times the reliability.

--I will post pics wearing it when it gets here.
