Multi-caliber
For the upcoming article in Concealed Carry magazine about .22 adapters and rimfire clones of centerfire guns. This Iver Johnson set has .22 for practice, 9mm for competitions and 45ACP for carry.
Is That a Gun in Your Pocket?
Being able to go from very casual to extremely purposeful in a second can be a tactical advantage.

A modern amazon.
The bow is for deer, a tasty doe or a wide-racked hart The pistol for evil creatures not so dear to her heart (with apologies to those who actually write good verses)
Good weather makes range time that much better.
Rimfire STG44. Cutts compensator doing its job well. Mike, obviously compensating for something. (Photo by Mike Branson) Full report on Savage mkII-SR, JRC 9mm, STG44, Henry .22 and others coming a little later.
Getting ready for a big weekend.
I am planning two range days this weekend. Mostly shooting 22s, but a few larger guns are coming along. That means loading up magazines, too. How many rounds is that? Two full boxes, kindly provided by Lucky Gunner. The original … Continue reading
The best 1927 Thompson movie scene
Miller’s Crossing has one of the best choreographed Thompson submachine gun scenes. I just have still photos of the 1927-A1 semi-auto carbine with a 100-round “pizza platter” drum. “Flash mob coming, you say? I should have enough for everybody.”

And speaking of BBQ guns: Nighthawk Heinie
Nighthawk Heinie .45 — curiously, it doesn’t seem to be a cataloged model. Grips are this gun’s one departure from decorative: they are designed for use with shooting gloves. For carry or showing off, smoother grips would make sense. Crimson … Continue reading
Pleasant surprises at the range.
When I go to a range, I usually fire off the magazine in my carry pistol to replace the old ammunition with fresh. With the 1911, I am always surprised when my target gets illuminated with a red dot. I … Continue reading

“Paratrooper” M1 carbine
Got my hands on an Auto Ordnance M1 carbines in folding and standard configurations. I prefer the two-aperture flip sight because it doesn’t jump settings on recoil like the M2 ladder sight. I also like the wood better than the … Continue reading

Before the kids are old enough to be left alone…

She’s up to something
Thompson carbine, 20rd stick and 50rd drum magazines.
In this case, you’d use the rifle to hold out till you can draw the pistol.
With the rifle being a fun .22 Henry and the pistol being a serious .45ACP. I wonder if a 45ACP lever action is possible — it would fit almost twenty rounds and have minimal report and muzzle flash even un-suppressed.
The loudest girl on this beach
