Episode 68: Tale of Two Carbines

A side by side comparison between the Marlin Camp 9 and the Kel-Tec Sub-2000 carbines from an economic, ergonomic, maintenance, and political perspective.  Also, an example of why the question, "How are you?" makes me uncomfortable.

Episode 67: I was wrong!

I hate being wrong.  I'd rather admit being wrong than be proven wrong.  In King Kong, they were crickets, not spiders.  Also, Kahr Arms is moving out of New York.

Episode 65: Grandfather Oak Custom Carry Holsters

Have you ever had an inside the waistband holster that was so comfortable and versatile that you couldn't wait to get dressed in the morning just so you could put it on?  Try the Grandfather Oak Hidden Companion.  It's a Kydex holster with your choice of belt attachments.  I spoke with the inventor at length, and he pointed out the virtues of its various design features.  Yes, I was positively impressed.  I bought one and wore it for a week each with the 3 different belt attachment systems. 
 Here it is with the tuckable belt clip


 Here's the belt loop with the snap closed
 
And the snap open.
 This is the leather and steel J-hook I was talking about.

Episode 64: Can I Hit That?

The ammo crunch is still in full force.  How can you get confident getting hits without busting your budget on ammo at the range?  Dry fire is good for when you're at home, but you have to set aside time and space for it.  I like to use visualization and a pen.

Episode 63: Silk Purse

My Jimenez JA-22 refinement project went better and faster than I expected.  The next time I took it to the range after the following refinement, it gave me 100 for 100... then again the next time.

Episode 62: Sow's Ear

In celebration of the repeal of the 800 degree law, and inspired by The Gun Monkey's success in refining a RIA 1911, I decided to refine a Jimenez JA-22.  I've got my work cut out for me.
