If there is one thing that irritates me about the Trump administration it is the surface level approach it takes. It's well documented now that at these riots pallets of brick and stone mysteriously appear on the streets. We all know that communist organizations are planning and funding these...

Rosemary Steak is on the menu boys! How much do you use? Per steak that is

I have dried rosemary, where would I get it fresh. I live in rural PA, we don't have fancified stores around here

That makes sense. The seasoning on my skillet is now as smooth and hard as glass, NOTHING sticks to it.

Is it harder to seaon stainless steel than cast iron?

Rosemary huh? I just use butter but that sounds good, I will try that next time.

It occurs to me I should have been doing before and after pics. Oh well. Most of em were just dusty, It's the Osborne thats in the worst shape. Anyway earlier this afternoon I rehabed the unique Sliverax- It's a pretty large knife yet its is pretty light at around 3.4oz. It's main claim to...

I've heard criticisms that its only good for touch ups but that Sage's edge was pretty dull and I still only need the medium and finishing stones to get a keen working edge

Spyderco SharpMaker. And an old leather belt for a strop.

I cook a really great steak in a skillet

Next up I will have to address the dismal state my 940 Osborne is in, the aluminum scales have gotten gouged and scratched all to hell and tge action feels like there is glue in the pivot. I'll disassemble and remediate and order new aftermarket scales for it, concurrent to that I'll hit up my...

I have a modest yet nice collection of pocket knives, as some of you may remember my knife buying spree of years ago before inflation had pauperized me, but the bulk of this collection had been left forgotten and unloved in a pocket of my seat back organizer for years now. My current gig of the...

Did you or anyone honestly expect otherwise? Allowing ourselves to be lulled into complacency just because the "right guy" won an election is absurd. Voting for Trump was never about making everything magically better, it was about mitigating the catastrophe that would have been a camela...

I think any such regulation is stupid and contrary to individual liberty, just publish the data and let people decide for themselves. That said there is no non-stick coating that works as well as a properly seasoned iron skillet. My skillet is so well seasoned that even burned cheese slids...

Imagine a Ruger PCC in my .30 TSW cartridge. You'd be obliteratIng woodchucks and rabbits at 100 yards.

I think IPSC robbed the shooting world of a fine cartridge with their arbitrary rule change. Then again had the 356 TSW seen large scale adoption we might have found 50,000 psi is a wee bit too hot for a general use pistol cartridge, who knows? Outside of some Glock conversion kits were there...

No, 356 TSW runs 50,000psi. Necking down to .30 would generate way, way more power, penetration and range than the old 7.65x21 @ 28,000 psi could manage. The closest thing would be the rather bonkers 7.5 FK which generates as much muzzle energy as a hot .41 Magnum load. I think that is probably...

The 9x21 IMI merely duplicates 9x19 as it operates at the same pressure and existed solely for use in jurisdictions that prohibit civilian use of so-called military calibers. 356 TSW is essentially 9mm Super with stronger brass that is thicker particularly in the case web area. It operates at...

Help me think of a better name for it- 7.62x21. Basically a 356 TSW case necked down to .30. When the 7.5 FK cartridge was released I thought it was an interesting round but probably not practical for general use. Probably too punchy for military uses in sidearms or subguns/PDWs. I thought...

Also I miss our forner forum jester who pronounced "USP" as "Uhsp". He was funny. Also apparently up to no good on here hence his banishment.

I'd its a shits and giggles gun, or even a serious gun for any use outside of a CCW role the full size USP in .45 has the "it" factor for me. Especially in NY with a 10 round limit. 10 rounds of .45 Super is serious firepower and a lot of spectacle creating fun on the range. On the other...

Name brand under which Turkish clones of various pistol designs are sold.

I myself have a USP on the list. Girsan........eh, I don't do Turkish stuff. However on the USP- that pistol is a large, heavy and beefy design that is total overkill for 9mm. It's wat to l big and heavy compared to mainline 9mm options for no improvement in performance or capability. I think...

You need to put your purse down first.

I mostly abused the silhouettes at the 300yd line

Something similar happened to me once too. I was set up for perch and other pan fish but hooked a monster Pike. No net, didn't have my long nose pliers or any such thing. And just like here everytime I got it to the bank it flopped around like hell. In my case it spit the hook before I could...

Oh he won't actually go to jail. As if there were any justice in this Nation.

Do they have any idea what happens if Trump gets assassinated? Do they realize that people wouldn't take that lying down? The country would immediately descend into violent chaos.

There is a distinction between ineffectual and dysfunctional.

@kev74 You DO NOT fuck around in central PA. People can and have disappeared and nobody knows nurhin' about it even the cops. In Nevada they have holes in the desert. Round here there's the woods with coyotes and bears on clean up detail

Meanwhile in my area of PA a guy mag dumps an AR into a drunk that wandered onto his front yard. No charges filed.

They have NO ONE. The wilfully refuse to understand that what plays for them in far left urban centers simply does not sot well with the rest of the nation. The democrat party will continue to lose until the jettison the far left and move back towards a more moderate stance.

At 47 years of age I don't recall a political organization being in such a dysfunctional state as the DNC is right now. Am I mistaken on this?

Difference between Sheetz and Rutters is the latter uses deli quality meat in their wraps/sandwiches while the former is more like Oscar Meyer quality. Rutters also has more toppings and fixing like mushroom which I appreciate since I love mushroom. I can't go to WAWA, none of them have truck...

Another day at Daisytown. Done with a Ruger Mk IV Hunter w/ CCI Standsrd Velocity

I have a Ragnarok for my G19, great holster for range/comp/training. I will be getting one for my Carry Comp too with the full on offset drop down and leg strap. And I find the Carry Comp conceals very well in the Rator under just an untucked camp shirt. I am carrying thus at work at the very...

It's functional. Highly recommend it. I've noticed that T-Rex is fast in supporting new guns and gear. They are just one of a few that offer holsters cut specially for tile M&P Carry Comp and again one of just a few that accommodate the Streamlight TLR7 HL-X light which is the best compact...

For IWB carry I'd favor a compact, subconlact/microcompact over a duty sized gun. I find the compact models to be the ideal size anyway. I still say in NY the Glock 48 is an ideal carry gun.

I originally got the Ironside because I thought the Raptor was intended for appendix carry however while it can be carried in that fashion T-Rex states that the Raptor is intended primarily for strong side carry. I have carried an M&P Compact in this holster now and found it to work very well...

I have a DDM4 V7. Excellent rifle but no way I'd pay what Daniel Defense is asking for them now. They are asking high end boutique rfle prices for basic AR features. It's hard to say with inflation what money is worth anymore but when I boought mine in 2017 for $1,300 I think it was worth it...

Yeah, it's been working really well for me

It's not optimism, its realism. Defensive shoots happen over a period of seconds and reloads are exceptionally rare. In the real world 10 rounds is more than adequate. It is better to be able to carry more in tge same space of course. My 15 round magazines is no bigger than an NY 10 rounder...

Well, I am a 2A absolutist and thus find any and all firearms restrictions abominable. That said the likelihood of needing more than 10 rounds in a defensive shooting is also vanishingly thin. Actually I belive that 10 rounds is the breakpoint. For many years, until recently, my CCW was an...

I suppose that could work in urban environments. In rural environments carrying a pack of that type and in that fashion would look odd and out of place.

IWB mag carries/pouches become painfully uncomfortable for me after a few hours, vertical OWB punches also poke and prod me uncomfortably as well when sitting and are less concealable as well. The horizontal method is for more comfortable and is less likely to be exposed when stretching and...

Roll of targets and a brick of .22, cheap and cheerful. And a badass fully Volquartsenized Mk IV Hunter to shoot en out of.

Brand is "Rounded" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FN3NZBF?ref_=icdp_ba_mweb_mb_pd_bap_m_grid_rp_0_25_pr_gf&clientRefMarker=pd_bap_m_grid_rp_0_25_pr_gf&heartsTeamIdentifier=buyagain&psc=1&heartDisabled=false

Thought I'd update with a mag carry method that has been working well for me. Horizontal OWB carrier I got off Amazon from some rando brand. I'll loom them up though to give a name because it has worked quite well for me. It conceals well being online with tge belt which also means it is...

Not that anyone seems to care but after 2 days of carry the new holster has accomplished what I needed it too: It does take up significantly less belt space, is more secure on the belt and does not shift around. I also find that ot conceals the gun extremely well, even bending over there is...

Stupid question I'm sure but the Holosun 507 Comp is the same footprint as he standard 507 right? And the Holosun 407/507 is an RMR footprint? I am wanting to put a 507 Comp on my Ruger Mk IV. I will eschew tge ugly 1913 rail un favor of tge very sleek Lobo Industres mount.
