I snagged a bike that I saw. The other bike had carb tuning issues I decided I didn’t want to get into, so I brought home a different one… One that runs FLAWLESSLY. Purrs like a kitten at idle, screams like a beast when I open the throttle.

Ruger’s 1911, the rumors are true.
To have another Gun Maker coming out with a 1911, isn’t surprising. But for Ruger to jump into this crowded pool actually makes sense. Much like S&W before they entered the game, Ruger has been making 1911 parts for a long time.
The “SR”1911… because Ruger can’t say 1911… actually looks pretty good. I like the fact that the slide is Forged, even if the frame is cast. Ruger’s casting is the best in the industry. I’ll give them points for not putting on forward slide serrations. I’ll even go so far as to give them props for not making the slide a huge freaking billboard. The simple Double Diamond checkered grips also look good, with a simple Colt style medallion inset into the wood. As much as I’ve been hating on Ruger… I have to give them a nod here. Well done, Ruger. Well done.
Now if you would just change your Distributor Only business model so dealers could actually make a buck stocking your guns – yeah… that would be great. Because as it is now, I hope I don’t have to sell one, because I’d make more money selling anything else. Ruger and Glock… there’s no money in selling the things. So am just not excited about these things.
The perfect zombie gun.
You gotta love Max Brooks for his canonizing so much important information about surviving a zombie uprising.
Unfortunately he is wrong on several things. Continue reading The perfect zombie gun.
I am at a loss for words
I’m working on my review of the NAA Ranger and I have positive things to say about it. Unfortunately the NAA has discontinued it. They did a limited run of the things, then canned it. Continue reading I am at a loss for words
Sarah Palin
Let me tell you, I like Sarah Palin. She’s a bit polarizing… of course that like saying that Cayenne Pepper is a bit hot. But that’s one of the reasons I like her. She flat out scares the Liberal Left. She embodies everything the Liberals tend to hate on. She gets Conservatives fired up, brings in the crowds, and brings in the funds. She is a serious political force to be reckoned with. This is why there has been a concerted effort since the beginning to ruin her. Much like Rush Limbaugh, “it’s cool” to dislike Sarah Palin. To dislike Sarah Palin is to take the more politically aware higher ground. As if there is a superiority factor to dislike her, and the Tea Party… just like using a Mac at a Starbucks.

She’s just a girl
One of the things that I find irritating is that when a guy who doesn’t know a whole bunch about guns wants to buy his wife or girlfriend a gun… it’s always in tiny calibers. The mentality is that “She’s just a girl.”
A rifle will be a .243 and a pistol will be .380 or a 9mm or even smaller. Come on guys. Get real. A woman, especially a red blooded American woman, can handle any gun that she wants to handle.
My wife can shoot the hell out of her 12 gauge pump, and a .45 1911. My little Sis-In-Law rocked out with my AK and my 7mm Rem Mag, and she’s all hair and eyelashes. Are these women special or other wise incredible? Well, yes, they are amazing gals… but they are not Xena Clones or anything… but the reason they can handle these guns is that they want to. Give them more credit. Taken them shooting more often. Managing bigger guns is all about Will and a little experience to show them that they can. Work them up to a bigger gun, but don’t buy them something puny because “she’s just a girl.”
Joe shows you our Crusader Templar rifle
Crusader’s Templar is the best AR-15 on the planet. Period. Bar None.
Commander, Sterling, and a P-11.
I don’t have much gasoline in the truck, and I’m so broke I can’t afford to pay attention. But I have ammo and Ballistic Testing Zone One is practically out the back door of Ogre Ranch. So we did a little bit of shooting while the kids were doing school work.
The Sterling was once again… impressive. The gun was flawless, but one of the magazines was under-sprung and caused two malfunctions when loaded to capacity. Continue reading Commander, Sterling, and a P-11.
The Democrat’s Future for America
Detroit has long been the Model of Democrat Principles. It has to be, because the Democrats have had Free Reign there for decades. Democrats and Unions have made Detroit what it is today.
Now don’t think this is just Steven Crowder doing a hit piece on the city… There is a lot more to see in Detroit.
And here’s their new plan to bring money back to Detroit. That’s just awesome. Way to go guys. Just give in to the filth and deviancy. Fantastic. I’m remembering the SNL skit where they talked about the Worst Job in the world… “Last year’s worst job was Crack Whore!… This year’s worst job… Assistant Crack Whore!” Kinda made you think where one would go to file that application. Evidently it’s Detroit… at an ACORN office.
A Nation of Clowns
America has become a nation of clowns. Since the Republicans have taken over, spending has not slowed down. Spending Cuts was a puppet show. They are raising the Debt Ceiling again – making the US Dollar even more worthless. The GOP’s brightest star at the moment is Donald “You’re Fired” Trump? Oh come on. The only upshot to a President Donald would be that he seriously couldn’t be any worse than Obama… The only President worse than Warren G. Harding (in my opinion). The Democrats are acting the fool at every turn while being drunk on Tax Dollars. The rest of the world is asking “What the hell is going on in America?” while at the same time pointing at us and saying “See!” Every bad thing they’ve been saying about America – is being proven true.
And as a Nation, we care more about American Idol than actual issues and political platforms and who we are electing.
