Just In Case

Found these little snazzy weather radios with multiple useful features.

It's an AM/FM radio with various weather channels... but that's not all.
It's a flashlight;

There aren't any batteries...

When it dies, you can charge it by the solar panel on top, or the hand crank on the back;

 

But the BEST part is... the last nifty feature.
There are ports to charge your electronic devices, like phones and iPods...and anything with an adapter for the port;

 

We have them in each of our Go Bags (in our vehicles) and a couple for in the house.

Mag Test

Mags should freely fall when the mag release is depressed.
If you handle a firearm in the gun store and the mag release does not allow the magazine to fall clear, there is something wrong. If the store clerk tells you that's they way they work and you're supposed to grab the mag and yank it out yourself...they are lying.

Fall came in the middle of April

New Grips!

I know, I know, I know. Shaddap.

Yes, those are 1911 grips.
Yes, that is glitter.

New .45s Desktop Photo for awhile...

Because it's cool.

.22LR

Not as pretty as I WANTED to be sitting... but bordering on "comfortable" for now.
Just so long as I only use .22 for teaching and none for plinking (for *myself*). It should get me through July if I only use 1k a month. I don't know what I'll do after that, since I got wind that .22LR will be scarce into 2015. I hope the company reps are wrong... but I really don't know.

Idiot Scratch

Oh, just click it.


Yeah, that ^.

Refresher on hammer positions

Why the quarter-cock notch in newer 1911s from some companies?
Who knows? I've still never found out.
