The Lion of Mosul: Courage of young soldier going undercover as ISIS fanatic to shoot dead six fighters behind enemy lines - Mirror Online
I have a question about a used gun that a guy I know just bought for a great price.
It's a full size Smith & Wesson M&P in .40 caliber with some wear, around the rear sight especially, and the serial number has the prefix "CPD," which to me sounds like a police trade-in, but I don't know if the...
My wife had obtained this knife some years before I ever met her, and it's her favorite.
The only thing I know about it was that it was given out by the bank where a friend of hers worked, who in turn gave it to her, so that's why the bank's name is marked on one side of the blade.
The knife is...
I couldn't see any threads about it, so I'm putting up one of my own, and no, the thread title is not meant at all as disrespectful, only a tribute from one of our favorite movies transferred over to one of our favorite memes.

Growing up, I often had lemonade, usually one of the frozen varieties, but occasionally we made the premium stuff, i.e. fresh squeezed, for a real treat.
That's one great drink, especially after a hot day mowing the yard or baling hay.
Well, it's strange how I had to wait until I was 49 to...
Well, last night while in the kitchen, mixing up some of my squeezed lemonade (oh yeah!), I glanced up and spotted a Cooper's hawk on a kill not twenty yards away in the next door neighbor's yard.
I took my camera to the back door to get a much better angle on him, but I couldn't get any stills...
Well, I headed to my aunt's woods this morning, getting to it at 8:00.
As I was approaching my stand, I spotted two does in the field headed toward the west end of the woods, so that was a good sign.
I sat in my stand for about a half hour, then noticed two guys hunting on the other side of the...
Well, I'm embarrassed to admit that I sent a 155 grain 10mm Speer TMJ straight through my ProChrono Digital last month, due to pulling the shot downward.
I've already replaced the chronograph (it was marked down enough on Amazon, and I had a gift card that made it actually a touch cheaper than...
My boss is getting concerned about the specter of a Clinton regime and the inevitable torrent of anti-gun action that will surely ensue, so he is seriously considering getting his first AR-15.
My suggestion to him was to get advice from as many people as possible with his ideas on price range...
I made a rookie mistake last week by overloading 200 .38 Special rounds and seating the bullets before I recognized my mistake, so I pulled all the bullets to start fresh with the already primed brass.
However, the bullets were lead, so I elected not to reseat them because the powder was stuck...
Well, I wanted to know what the maximum published loads for 10mm would do at the range with six different powders suitable for the cartridge, so I loaded five rounds with the same charge for each of the six powders, then went to the range with my ProChrono Digital to clock what I had loaded.
All...
In this day and age of crybulliles having a heckler's veto, finally an institution of higher learning officially puts its foot down:

Let's all hope that this is only the first of many to follow.
Many of you may already be aware of it, but S&W only within the last few years discontinued manufacture of all magazines for their third generation pistols, the one I have, the 1006 (10mm) included.
Now, I'm not exactly up the creek needing magazines (I have five bought when they were still...
Not that it's a big deal, but for anyone who listens to INGO regular Guy Relford's "The Gun Guy" radio show on WIBC, I managed to get through and on the air with Guy right before 6:30 Saturday night.
I was the one who talked to him briefly about the cosmetics of real guns being altered...
I recently had the opportunity to borrow a Hornady Delta Rest at the Roush Lake DNR shooting range, and I was surprised by how much better it worked than I had expected, especially when used in combination with my own conventional sandbags.
I was so impressed that I quickly jumped over to...
Well, I finally went to Rural King in Muncie yesterday afternoon and walked out with a brand new Ruger LCR-X .38 Special for my wife.
The obligatory photos:
I will (of course) be spending my next days I have off busy at my press churning out practice ammo for this so that we can...
