CSGV: It is bad when your own people correct you.
Newest and latest from CSGV.
This one called my attention immediately. Why is Craig Hexman so anxious in correcting dear Ladd? This is the same Hexman who accused a gun blogger of Child Abuse wanted to call Children and Family services because said blogger was teaching his 2 year old to eat peas.
So I clicked on the article mentioned on the first post and instead of finding a lurid tale of murder by a homicidal CCW maniac, instead we find a tragic story of a possible negligent discharge. But aparently by law in Pennsylvania, the coroner can only rule it homicide.
Even though her death has been ruled a homicide, Adams County District Attorney Shawn Wagner says the findings won’t have an effect on his decision to file charges. He’s waiting for the state police to finish their death investigation before he makes that call
But Ladd being the vulture he is, could not rad through the whole article and dove directly for the corpse of the victim, a moving so appalling that even one of his most faithful followers could not stomach and had to step in.
And now the countdown for this thread to disappear begins.
Tips on how to polish revolver cylinder chamber?
I ended up with 2 seriously stuck cases on my Rossi snubbie. I need advice from on how to do it myself even if it involves a dremmel 😉
And I will revisit my reloads.
UPDATE: I did remove the cases with a dowel and some “gentle” tapping. My apologies for not being clearer.
Capitalism taking its toll in China.
At least where vehicles are concerned.
Seriously, either take driving seriously or go back to bicycles.

A Day Of Range
Yesterday I took SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) to the range for some deserved and overdue practice. Her first shot ended up being a perfect hole in the Brain Housing and you could not ask for more. It is amazing what a little serious training will do and how many myths will be shattered. Her Highness’ gun is a Kahr CW9, a small gun and with a less than stellar trigger by all expert accounts, but experts I have come to realize that more and more “experts” talk out of their rear ends. The Kahr, being a small gun, will have more of a perceived recoil than a big Beretta M9 or a 1911, but SWMBO was properly trained on how to hold a gun and you may notice that there is a piece of brass flying from her last trigger pull and the gun is already back down and sights properly aligned and about to shoot once again. She has shot what should be a total nasty experience which is a snubbie 357 Mag with full loads with the same results and again that is the result of proper training.
Of course, you cannot properly trained if you yourself have absorbed your knowledge via internet forums, TV shows and the latest video game. I saw several women accompanying their better but brainless halves at the range and I had to cringe at what I saw. Guys, please, a gun range is not the place to demonstrate your inner macho. Do Not Drag your significant other to a place she does not want to be. If she is with her arms crossed, shoulders hunched and a royally pissed off face on display, she was expecting the a soothing quite location like the Cheesecake Factory and not a noisy dirty place. Another big hint: Wardrobe. If she is dressed in flimsy top, dashing makeup, $200 hairdo and cute sandals, the range is probably not the place for her at that time.
On the wardrobe issue, I saw one young lady wearing flip flops, sweat pants and a very tight t-shirt cut at the neck in a way that would exhibit her well developed chest. I might be getting old or it might have been that SWMBO was armed and next to me, but the thought that crossed my mind was “What a perfect Hot Brass Landing Area she has!” Please, make sure that you are safely dressed with clothing and shoes that will avoid that nasty hot brass/skin interaction that sends people dancing silly with a loaded gun.
To the Testosterone-Ravaged Lane Neighbor we had at the range: Rapid Fire that hits outside the target is just unmitigated noise making and annoys the hell out of me. My annoyance went double when you realized that the petite woman with the tiny gun in the lane over was 100 times more accurate than you and you gave her a dirty look. Yes, the fat bastard watching you was the husband; the same one who was also more accurate than you shooting weak hand drills. PS: Ammunition makers love you though.
CSGV: No gun needed because it is a safe place!
You may want to ask John Gibson and Jacob Chestnut. OK you can’t because they were killed by one Russell Eugene Weston Jr. who came into the Capitol Building and murdered them. And let us not forget that D.C. per se is one of the most dangerous locations in the US.
