Dan Haga Designs is specialized in making accessories for firearms that don’t have much aftermarket support such as the FN PS90 carbine (the civilian version of FN P90). The company has recently made two announcements on their social media pages. First, they have launched a website (www.danhagadesigns.com) where the customers now can directly order from. And […]

Faxon Firearms has built a reputation for making high quality, lightweight AR-15 components. With their most recent project, they quite possibly have outdone themselves by producing a factory AR-15 for consumers that weighs in under 5 Lbs.

Rick emails to point out that a 100 year old Einstein prediction has just been confirmed:
Predictions made about gravity by Einstein more than a century ago have been proved correct on a massive scale.
In 1915, the German-born physicist claimed that gravity is the result of massive objects warping the very fabric of the universe, what he called spacetime.
Experts have since been able to test his theory of General Relativity within our own solar system and prove his groundbreaking work holds up to scrutiny.Pretty cool, right? So you'd think that old Albert was a bit smarter than young Al, right? Except that the science of Global Warming is settled, amirite? And that isn't more than 30 years old or so. So young Al ...

This (about Trump's Executive Order on immigration and detaining families together rather than splitting them up), while impossible to argue with, is only the set up:
The EO is rope-a-dope trolling at the Master Class level.
1) Trump issues EO.
2) Court overturns it, because it violates the consent decree agreed to by the Clinton administration.
3) Trump shrugs and says, "See? I can't break the law. So either fix it yourselves, congressional sh*tweasels, or f**k off, idiots. I don't care which. Mid-terms are coming for you @$$clowns. Go do nothing somewhere else."
And the federal courts are triple-boned on this:
either they decline to review the EO, and cede their authority to the President (not going to happen),
or they overrule their prior ruling, and cede their authority back to the executive branch (not going to happen),
or they strike down the EO, and we go right back to throwing the illegal little bastards right back in the same cages into...
Tomorrow is Amateur Radio Field Day.
In what may be a first, the 9-8-Double-Ought-3 Amateur Radio Club plans to operate for 24 hours. This is what happens when a member offers the facilities at his place of employment as the Field Day site; previously, it had been at a park or on school property, closed at dark and with no rest rooms, etc., available after hours, or on church property and we had to clear out before Sunday Services. We even got listed in the local fish wrap!
The fact that we'll be set up on the grounds of a funeral home is irrelevant.
It's actually a nice facility, shaded ground, and they'll leave what I call the "support room" open for rest rooms, hot and cold running water, refrigerators for the cook out. Our Emergency Communications team has been meeting in the "Share Life" center, which is larger than the training room we'd been meeting in at the local fire station, which we had to vacate as it is being renovated. This also gives us access to a better Internet and multi-media suite, for tr...
The guy who shot the Walmart gunman breaks his silence. ‘I acted to protect my family and others’: Pastor who shot Walmart gunman dead. He has been cleared of all wrongdoing.
“I carry a firearm for the same reason I carry a first aid bag, hoping never to have to use them but always being prepared nonetheless,” George, 47, said during a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

“I acted on Sunday to protect my family and others from the gunman and his display of obvious deadly intent,” George said. “This is in accordance with both my training as an emergency responder and calling as a pastor, husband, father, and grandfather.”

Yes, both transplants from Washington. What I have read tells me that a properly designed 9mm JHP (like the Winchester Silvertips, I carry in my Browning Hi-Power) gives up very little to a .45 ACP JHP in defensive use; the .45 ACP FMJ has very impressive consequences on milk jugs because of the diameter. If you are limited to FMJ by the Hague Convention, larger is definitely better.
I was both function testing the Wilson-Rogers 8 round magazines for the .45, and testing American Reserve Munitions .45 ACP FMJ. Both fed, fired, and ejected perfectly. Compared to some Winchester white box my son-in-law;s brother brought, I could see no difference in accuracy; although this was a very undemanding test: do bullets mostly hit their tar...

Campus Reform shares the latest breakthrough in thought from today’s Academy.
In a chapter for a new textbook, University of Exeter professor Paul Ernest warns that mathematics education can cause “collateral damage” to society by training students in “ethics-free thought.”
He even argues that since money involves mathematics, math is “implicated in the global disparities of wealth” because math students are taught to value “detached” and “calculative” reasoning.
Wendy Kaminer, in the Wall Street Journal, also reveals that the ACLU is now accepting the Hard Left notion that mere speech can inflict harm, even if one does not call someone pigeon pie and eat him up.
The American Civil Liberties Union has explicitly endorsed the view that free speech can harm “marginalized” groups by undermining their civil rights. “Speech that denigrates such groups can inflict serious harms and is intended to and often will impede progress toward equality,” the ACLU declares in new guidelines governing case selection and “Conflicts Between Competing Value...

The Inkunzi PAW (Personal Assault Weapon) is a 20mm shoulder fired semiautomatic grenade launcher designed by Tony Neophytou (and previously known as the Neopup). It is a creative and very interesting weapon system, both from a mechanical perspective and also from a question of practical application.
The PAW has a 6-round detachable rotary magazine, and an effective range of 1000m for area targets and 600m for point targets. Its purpose is to give the individual soldier an explosive area-effect weapon that fires like a rifle. To this end, the ammunition has been developed to give a muzzle velocity of 1000fps (310m/s), giving it a far flatter trajectory and shorter flight time than a 40mm grenade, either low pressure or high. It allows rapid repeat shots, rapid reloading, and easy target transition. The high muzzle velocity (for a grenade launcher) makes range estimation and engagement of moving targets much simpler than with the rainbow-like trajectory of 40mm systems. For specializ...

So, you're obviously capable of doing enough research to get my phone number, but you couldn't do any research about who you were pestering for a holster review?

When last we left the holster review, I'd been writing a pretty straightforward piece on why the holster was unsuited to be safely used for inside-the-waistband carry (appendix or otherwise) and fixing to leave it at that.

Too bad his company didn't ask what kind of results he would get them. Oof.
among the things they AREN'T talking about:
Michael Daniel confirmed Wednesday that former national security adviser Susan Rice ordered him and his staff to “stand down” in 2016 in regard to Russian attempts to meddle in the 2016 election.
Daniel, special assistant to former President Barack Obama and White House cybersecurity coordinator, told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee that quotes attributed to him in the book, Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump, were an “accurate rendering of the conversation” he had with Rice and his staff.
Daniel’s staff reportedly responded to the order in “disbelief.”

It is about steel coming from China. This is the story you won’t see in the US media, and it is barely in the Canadian media. LILLEY: Feds could have avoided U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum
China ships steel to Canada. Canada turns around and ships it to us, and pretends it is from Canada.
The Americans have long complained about something called “transshipment.” That is the practice of Chinese steel being shipped to a country, such as Canada, and then re-exported, sometimes with little to no change in the product, to the United States.
Essentially, some companies try to pass off Chinese steel as duty-free Canadian steel. Or Mexican steel, or European steel. The Americans say this has happened from many countries as China sells at below-market rates to keep its steel plants going.
And the administration first complained to Canada over a year ago. April of 2017 to be exact. The Trudeau government didn’t do anything about it until the day before the tariffs were imposed.
Why wouldn’t ...
This study has been updated. It covers 1950, through data available as of May 24th of this year. UPDATED: Mass Public Shootings keep occurring in Gun-Free Zones: 97.8% of attacks since 1950
You should just go look at the images. You should also read the article, but I know it most will categorize it as TLDR. But you should read it. But here’s something that the Left will explode over.
The official FBI definition of mass public shootings excludes “shootings that resulted from gang or drug violence” or that occurred in the commission of another crime such as robbery. The reason for this is pretty obvious: the causes and solutions for gang shootings over drug turf are dramatically different than the types of mass public shootings that we see at schools and malls where the point of the attack is to kill as many people as possible.
But it is the official FBI definition.

Fox News reported Swain apologized to anyone who was offended but “essentially defended the poster, claiming Wonder Woman using her ‘lasso of truth’ to keep ‘less-than-honest police officers’ in line is a metaphor for cross-examination and a zealous defense.” [More]So she can't now use the excuse that subtle costume changes resolve copyright issues?

“Power corrupts. And absolute power corrupts absolutely.” – Lord Acton
Today, we take government corruption for granted. Indeed, government corruption has been a feature (NOT a defect) of government since Nimrod started his little empire in Mesopotamia 4,000 years ago or so. Government has power, and therefore corruption. But it has, frankly, just gotten worse since then. AND a lot more pervasive, subtle, and harmful.
Today, at least here in the Fifty States, government doesn’t just corrupt itself and the other governments which infest our beautiful land of former liberty and bravery. Government corruption is so ubiquitous and so bad that anything and anyone that comes in contact with it is corrupted by it as well.
And who, in these Fifty States today, does NOT come in contact with government at some time in some way? In trying to limit the power of government, we have created many levels and kinds. Adding up to a burden that is intolerable.
Consider “public” schools:
Although more and more people privately school their children or teach them at home, th...

My background is kind of redneck. My own personal upbringing, to the extent that I can tell because nobody ever told me anything when I was a kid, was sort of redneck-once-removed. I myself was a bookish white boy from Detroit but my father came from a shithole Central Michigan farm. And though (gods know) he never talked to me about it, I kind of got the impression he escaped from a shithole Central Michigan farm.

By the numbers on gun ownership:
The Small Arms Survey estimates there are 393,300,000 civilian-owned firearms in the United States. The survey, performed by the Graduate Institute of Geneva, estimated the United States military has about 4.5 million firearms. It put the number of firearms owned by police throughout the United States at just over 1 million.
That means American civilians own nearly 100 times as many firearms as the U.S. military and nearly 400 times as many as law enforcement.
Sorry gun control proponents, but that many people aren’t going to just turn them all in.

Several of you have commented on the pink studs that we use here in Louisiana as framing lumber. I've seen these things as long as I can remember and took them as a natural part of carpentry. But, y'all expressed surprise, so I thought I'd do a little research.
These studs are not pink at all. Don't trust your eyes, they're purple, or magenta, as the specs from Lowe's tell us. However, thy're so common in the South, and surprise people from other locations, so I tried to dig into it a little bit and see what I could find.
As it turns out, it's a marketing ploy, from a lumber mill in the post WWII housing boom, to differentiate their product of good, southern pine, from the erstwhile Douglas Fir studs that were competing in the market. If you want good, Southern Pine, buy the purple studs. From this source.

In 105 AD an amazing engineering project was completed. The Romans built a bridge over the Danube river. This wasn't a temporary structure like previous pontoon bridges, this was 20 masonry piers that towered 60 feet above the water, high enough to allow boats to pass beneath. It was 50 feet wide and reached an amazing 3700 feet long, spanning the river. For 1000 years it was the longest permanent bridge in history.
The Roman Emperor Trajan was called Optimus ("The Best") by the Senate. He embodied the great Roman virtues, not least of which was determination combined with careful planning that allowed him to push the Empire's borders to their maximum extent. He had decided that the Dacians living north of the Danube had given Rome enough trouble, and that their lands (and especially their gold mines) would make a very nice addition to the Empire. And so he sent the Legions across the new bridge.
As they say, amateurs talk strategy while professionals talk logistics. Previous invasions by the Romans had faltered because it was too hard to keep the armies supplied. The bridge took care of that, a...

Pierre Laval, prime minister in 1935, decreed the registration of firearms for the first time in modern French history. The registration was “aimed at firearms owners at large and did not focus on those responsible for fomenting political violence.” Halbrook shows how it worked in great detail but the main effect “was to enhance the power of government over the citizens.”
Some things never change.
In June of 1940, Pierre Laval was deputy prime minister in the government collaborating fully with the Nazis. The previous month they issued a decree demanding the surrender of firearms and radio transmitters, on penalty of death. The French were also subject to the death penalty for failing to denounce someone who possessed guns.

One of the classic mistakes make by authors who are not “gunnies” is to have a character threateningly click off the safety catch…on a revolver (sound effects editors do it in movies and TV, too). Argh! That’s not a thing!

they usually wind up being called anti-intellectual, or accused of 'hating learning'. However, being pissed about nonsense like this has nothing to do with a dislike of learning:
In an abstract for the book, Ernest claims that although he does “acknowledge that mathematics is a widespread force for good,” “there is significant collateral damage caused by learning mathematics.”
According to Ernest, this “collateral damage” happens in three ways. First, he argues, the styles of thinking involved with mathematics are “detached” and “calculated” ones, which value “rules, abstraction, objectification, impersonality, unfeelingness, dispassionate reason, and analysis” — which he claims “can be damaging when applied beyond mathematics to social and human issues.”
The second problem, he explains, is that “the applications of mathematics in society can be deleterious to our humanity ...

Last month I discussed some of the reasons why your place of worship should consider having a church security team. You can read that article here. In the time since that article was written, there have been several more news stories about churches that have been impacted by violence. One such story happened at The House of Refuge Church in Kansas City on May 21, where a greeter was wounded by gunfire during a church service. The shooter entered the church and fired multiple times, striking the greeter in the head. The greeter then fell through a window into the sanctuary. He was treated at a hospital for what, thankfully, have been described as non-life-threatening injuries.
Risk AssessmentIndividuals who are criminally oriented will pick a “soft target” when possible. They will go for a location that is easy versus a challenging one. Obviously they don’t want to meet resistance, so they’ll size up the target ahead of time. The church security team’s job is to make their church a “hard target,” meaning one that makes criminals less likely to pick that church.

The spider and diagonal holder I bought was inexpensive, and for good reason. It was supposed to be for a 4.5" OD tube. It was closer to 5", because one of the legs was substantially longer than the other two. The diagonal holder was made of some unrecognized black plastic, likely nylon. Its design was essentially identical to my aluminum diagonal. I could probably have modified to meet my needs, but much of that time and frustration can be used to finish machining my design which is quite similar, although easier to make. Why pay for sloppy work?

There was much harrumphing at that crazy notion. Now we're getting two or three glitches on the power every week, and ugly hits that take a fair amount of rebooting slam us a dozen times a year, despite a big UPS that carries the critical loads.

Whether you learned about Philip Zimbardo’s famous “Stanford Prison Experiment” in an introductory psych class or just absorbed it from the cultural ether, you’ve probably heard the basic story.

The senior prison “staff” consisted of Zimbardo himself and a handful of his students.......

The number of Americans seeking Social Security disability benefits is plunging, a startling reversal of a decades-old trend that threatened the program’s solvency. It is the latest evidence of a stronger economy pulling people back into the job market or preventing workers from being sidelined in the first place.

This month, the government announced that the program would not run out of money until 2032, four years later than its previous estimate last year.

Bombings increased significantly in 2015, with Swedish police investigating around 100-150 explosions. There were over 30 explosions reported in the Swedish city of Malmö alone by August 2015, up from a total of 25 in all of 2014. Malmö police have consequently warned about undetonated grenades in the city. According to Swedish police, the use of hand grenades in crime is unprecedented in all comparable European and non-European countries, and the only countries with similar characteristics are those with warlike conditions.

This Dominican Mauser is coming up for sale here.
The Dominican Republic is one of the few Central and South American nations which did not buy Mauser rifles when they were the top of the line military armament available. Instead, the Dominicans waiting until the 1950s, and bought surplus long and short Mauser rifles from Brazil. Using their newly built arms factory in San Cristobol, they refurbished these Brazilian Mausers by scrubbing them of all markings, giving them a heavy new dark finish (including the receivers, which were originally in the white), varnishing the stocks, and remarking them as Dominican Republic property. Some were also rebarreled to .30-06 from the original 7x57mm, but apparently only a minority of them. Some of these were subsequently used, and some just went right into storage until ultimately sold as surplus and brought into the US.
This might possibly be the most inane thing I've read online all week, if not all year. In a Letter to the Editor in our local bird cage liner, entitled "Police need more clearly defined rules of engagement"...
All police departments should have very clearly defined rules of engagement, with an emphasis on the use of non-lethal devices, i.e., Tasers and rubber bullets, before guns are discharged. And they should all have their body cameras turned on.
Perhaps you remember a time when the police always fired a shot in the air and shouted “Stop! Police!” before they shot at someone. What has happened to this idea? I haven’t heard it mentioned for years, nor have I seen it used in any of the videos showing police shootings.

And surprise, surprise. He remains a violent criminal. Revealed: Gunman who opened fire on festival-goers before cops shot him dead was a gang member on early release from prison having been convicted of MURDER
A shooting in Trenton that left 22 injured on Sunday may have been prevented if one of the suspects wasn’t granted an early prison release for murder, and an additional sentence for racketeering during his incarceration.
In 2004 he was sentenced to 18 years for his role in a murder. (He was 17 in 2004.) He got an extra 6 years for racketeering while in prison, related to gang activity. But he was reformed (or something) and so was on the street.
But what we need are more gun laws, to make it even more illegal for a felon to possess a weapon or attempt mass murder. Or that’s what New Jersey’s governor thinks.
Because keeping violent criminals in prison would be socially unjust. Or something.

The Top 3 in Open are all previous champions, finishing 1st-3rd in this order: KC Eusebio, BJ Norris, Max Michel. For the Limited...

I need to hit the range. Should schedule that for later today. I feel kinda relaxed.
Also got a hankering to buy a gun. It's been a while. Let's see what's doable on the get-list:
- Custom single stack Commander length 9mm 1911.
- DeLisle style new made bolt action rifle, left handed. .45
- S&W M&P
- .22TCM/9mm single stack Armscor 1911
- CMP vintage Colt 1911.
- Hudson H9
That leaves an M&P or H9. I'll see where my mood lies when I get to the gon sto. H9s should be gettable in Maryland by now.
It's been so long!

My friend Claude Werner recently wrote an article where he postulated most shooters don’t do any real structured practice with their firearms. They plink or play, but they generally don’t perform drills designed with realistic standards in order to improve performance. In the article, Claude talked about sharing details and photos of his practice routines to give novice shooters an idea about how they might better spend their practice time.
I think that is a wonderful idea. I plan on sharing the drills I shoot in my weekly practice sessions. Hopefully, you will get a little value out of my posts and come up with some new drills to make your own practice sessions more effective.
I’ve been slacking a bit lately. I normally try to practice at least once a week. Due to some family medical problems, my free time has been a bit tighter than u...
There isn’t really a standard recipe for the ideal Syren ProStaffer, but these 3 ladies have what it takes to promote the Syren brand of shotguns. Some of the things they have in common are a great attitude, big welcoming smiles to everyone they meet, a love of our guns and shotgun shooting! As we keep moving forward, we are adding ambassadors geographically and with Victoria Powell down in Georgia, Jennie Kate Conley in Tennessee and Dorothea Clevenger in Pennsylvania, we are spreading the Syren message far and wide.

Bear with me: this is going to start on a religious note, but we’ll soon get to the political and societal side of things.
More and more, as I study the Bible and religious matters, by myself and with others, I ask myself and others a very simple question. “Who is in charge?”
Simple, but important. Both in religion and in society and politics. Whether discussing matters with a “Christian” or a Muslim or a Jew, LDS or Christian Scientist or Jehovah’s Witness, or Jainist or even Zoroastrian, many questions and issues boil down to that. If you believe in God, and you believe the holy books of those groupings of religions (none of which is monolithic), you believe in a Creator, and the question is both critical and simple. The being which makes something is in control of what it (He) makes.
Almost all religions claim that they believe God (or gods) is in charge. But do things actually work that way? Who is actually, practically, in charge? The prophet? The pontiff? The denominational officers? The pastor? The women’s aid society? Who claims to speak for God? W...

Ari Armstong, a libertarian Republican in Colorado, just published his latest Colorado Freedom Report, discussing the response of the Colorado congressional delegation to the hot political fad of the month, trashing the Donald for the policy of separating parents and children when they jump the border.
He makes many excellent points, and the topic deserves more comment.
I really appreciate the sort of research and report Ari did, on the delegation’s responses. As I told him, it is heartening to see that they ARE responding, mostly appropriately. Even Senator Ken Buck’s response is better than I would have thought, seeing how he’s such a big law-&-order type. (He is a GOP type from Weld County.)
But as I told Ari, and others, it is too bad that they didn’t do anything about this sort of abuse back in 2014. I guess the guy squatting in the White House then was given a pass. (I don’t suppose it had anything to do with his Tranzi cred...

New drama alert:
I’m down for a good drama every now and then. Robert Redford is timeless, so I’ll likely see this one. It’s like they remade the movie HEAT, for old people.
Sometimes I forget how good old movies are. I was in San Francisco this past weekend living life, and when I got back I realized I needed to watch Escape From Alcatraz (1979) again. So good.

Recently I hit a milestone on Youtube, but it wasn’t as exciting as I wanted it to be. I hit the 20K subscriber mark and though that may not seem like a huge number, my “Shootube” peeps are a pretty awesome bunch, especially since those who use firearms responsibly have to deal with political bias […]

Greatest bartender in the world, she worked at the Fiddler's Green, the junior officer bar at Knox. Kim was a slight, Korean woman. She always wore tasteful clothing, and her bartender skills were legendary. She know what everyone in the room was drinking. And, trust me, Cavalry and Armor officers are exuberant drinkers. Three hundred fools in her bar, and she knew what ever one of them was drinking.
One night in 81 I came in after three days in the field, teaching Guard soldiers tank gunnery.. I was parched, I was tired, and Kim was ready to serve. Normally, I drank bourbon, but i told her I was ready to switch horses. I wanted something different. And I was hungry.
Kim looked at me with her inscrutable Asian eyes. "You wanna vodka tonic, and a Ruben sandwich". It wasn't a question, it was a statement of fact.
I trusted Kim. She had been taking care of junior officers for many years. "Okay", I told her. "Vodka tonic and a Ruben sandwich."
I came back to Knox in '86 for the career course. When I walked into the bar, Kim looked at me, her eyes n...
I don't want to belabor this subject too much; I know we've gone over it before. However, this one happened in a nearby small city, so it has perked up my situational awareness antennae just a tad.
High Point man charged with attempted murder in connection with home invasion
The fact that there was a home invasion in that particular small city doesn't surprise me; the place has been know for violence since before World War II. My Dad was stationed for a short time in another nearby city and they weren't allowed to go there as it was "off limits". The common name for the place? "Little Chicago".
Here's the part that I want to draw your attention to, good and hard:
"Witnesses told police that five armed men forced their way into the home and began shooting."
Yeah, I made that big for a reason. Five dudes came crashing in and started shooting. No warning and no "Give us the money" or "Give us the drugs." Sure, there is obviously more than they decided they wanted to ...
The Second Amendment Foundation and Citizen's Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms send:
SAF, CCRKBA WARN I-1639 SPONSORS THAT ‘UNREADABLE’ PETITIONS VIOLATE LAW
BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today warned sponsors of anti-gun Initiative 1639 via a demand letter that their campaign “is utilizing unreadable petitions in violation” of state law, and demanded that this be corrected to “conform to the legal requirements.”
Olympia attorney Shawn Newman, writing on behalf of the two Bellevue-based organizations, noted, “The petitions for I-1639 have the proposed measure printed on the back of the sheets in such fine print as to be unreadable… Use of fine print is unconscionable.”
State law mandates that initiative petitions “have a readable, full, true, and correct copy of the proposed measure printed on the reverse side of the petition,” Newman’s letter warns.
“In the short time that I-1639 petitions have been in circulation,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, “SAF and CCRKBA have been contacted by several people who could not read...
