The folks at Big Horn Armory may have made a poor choice in trying to do the job of carving their Halloween pumpkin with a .500 S&W. That’s kinda like trying to swat a fly with a sledgehammer. But all’s well that ends well. What caliber lever gun would you use?
“Sorry sir, that won’t work on Nancy, you’ll need to throw water on her.” Well we had some good efforts by people like edb10, The Blue Malarkey, Pm, Big V and C. Peter Orfe, but the winner is Pieslapper. -/-/-/-/- We’re now about four weeks from the election and voting your gun rights is more […]

Range toys. Firearms that are oodles of fun to shoot, to force your friends to shoot, or just to show off, but aren’t particularly practical. Maybe you rent ’em at the shooting range. Maybe you buy ’em. Maybe you borrow you just try your buddy’s gun. Whichever way you get ’em, you’ll certainly have fun […]
