I love my wife

By
November 28, 2008

From the movies – last night Mrs. Ahab and I watched Blood Diamond, with Leonardo DiCaprio, which was actually a pretty good film.  There was one scene that gave me a great idea for an IDPA stage – the bridge shootout. With the exception of the part where he shoots the two guys again...

“Tauretta”: A Taurus filled full of Beretta replacement parts. I like the Taurus PT92 series of pistols, mainly because they can be carried cocked and locked due to the fact that they don’t have the slide mounted safety that the Beretta M9/92 series of guns have.  The Taurus is sporting a frame mounted safety,...

Not Even Todd Jarrett can help me now

Ah, Thanksgiving.  A time to gather with your family and friends, enjoy fine food, good company, and infrared light based shooting games.  Yes, there was pie as well, however (for whatever reason) my father-in-law had purchased this light-gun game (presumably) for my nephew, and hey, if it involves pulling triggers I’m game for it. ...

Boycott HS Precision

As I mentioned in the show summary post, last night a disturbing development was brought to my attention: namely that HS Precision, a manufacturer of high-end rifles had printed a glowing endorsement/recommendation letter from Lon Horiuchi.  Here’s the actual back cover of the HS Precision catalog, complete with the letter.  Click the image to...

Gun Nuts Last Night: Epiphanies and HS Precision

By
November 26, 2008

Last night’s show was great.  Click the link to listen to the show; and you won’t be disappointed.  We started the show a little off topic, because I had received an email from TD about HS Precision printing a ringing endorsement of their rifles from Lon Horiuchi.  Yes, that Lon Horiuchi.  I’ll post more...
