OldHoosier62, Colt used to make some great stuff back in the day. I was too young, but I know my dad loved the Pythons, and several others. I'm surprised to hear things have changed. They were once a great company but since the 80's they have steadily gone downhill and every time they are sold they...

Mac that’s a great revolver you’ve got there. I’ve owned a half dozen or so 29/629’s. The Performance Center does an outstanding job. I tell all my customers, always look very closely at any firearm you buy....and look twice as closely at any S&W Performance Center or Colt Custom Shop firearm. ...

With a rubber grip like that I find them pretty soft to shoot and a lot of fun. Lotta HAWSPOWWAAA lol. Coo. Lol, yeah, they feel really good. Can't wait to shoot it man. What model do you have? Oh I'm not lucky enough to own one but I've got every one I can get my hands on. I think my next is gonna...

I second the use of ,44 specials for practice/plinking...my magnums get lots of "cowboy loads" (240gr @ 850fps) for fun and my carry loads are Winchester 210gr Silvertips because of being controllable and low flash in reduced light. (Yes, I still believe in carrying a wheelgun for personal...

Never saw the appeal of that clown. Takes 45 minutes to say 5 minutes worth of info.

BF was a great place from '05 to around '14....I was offline for a while and when I returned most of my friends and favorite posters were gone to parts unknown...some were Mods. What replaced them have for the most part turned out to be self-important trolls, sad because of what the place use to be....

This is just a guess, but it looks like a small hippo tusk. It's got the right shape and flattened section at the end.

My thought also.

Doc...It's a piece of cake. Wear the Halder monitor for a few day and it will help them diagnose exactly what needs done and the best way to do it. I have a pacemaker with defibrillator and it's pretty darned handy when my ticker gets wonky. I have a non-standard heart issue due to nerve damage in m...

Congratulations to you also for surviving a rough period in your country's history.

I always have 4 or 5 going all the time.

That is a lot of sharpening. Those knives need to be discarded. They get better when the blade thins out and loose some height. Wish I could buy them with the older profile.... ;) Was going to say, looks like they are getting good and broke-in. Several I sharpen for my butcher friend look the same,...

I have a rather ridiculous quantity of abrasives...between gunsmithing and offering sharpening as a side-service at the gunshop I built up a stockpile. It's split between natural and manufactured...lots of diamond, ceramic with some SIC and CBN thrown in along with a ton of natural stones. The diamo...

I just put a little oil in mine and let them sit in my smoker for a day. I haven’t had to season any new ones for a long time though, they tend to last forever!

Hmmm, may have to try that. I've got the smoker running several days a week.

We use the crisco and oven method. My husband is a huge Alton Brown fan, so if he says that's the right way to do it, then it's gospel at my house. ;) I understand that myself as I am a huge AB fan. And it works but it is inconsistent especially when doing the older, thinner vintage cast pans. It i...

Thought of this and didn't want it getting lost in the other thread..... How do YOU season your cast iron cookware?? For years I followed the traditional ways...Crisco/bake/wipe,Crisco/bake/wipe to build up a polymerized layer on the cooking surface. Tried various oils, temps, time in the oven and n...

I agree with the young lady above...Amazon cables work great for my android gear and my daughter's Apple devices. Last longer than factory branded cables by quite a bit.

Well...Do you cook in steel, aluminum, teflon coated, cast iron....or one of the "new fangled" ones ie.. orgreenic, copper/titanium/diamond coated, etc, etc...Or do you have a mish-mash of various types and styles??? What do you like/dislike about your favorites?? Anything you'd like to tr...
