"When SHTF you can concentrate on one thing and one thing only. You concentrate on counting shots, I'll concentrate on getting five into COM as fast as I can. If you can take time to count you weren't in enough danger to fire.The drill with a snubby revolver is to fire and fire fast, the click is your signal that you need to reload." While you are clicking on an empty cylinder, I will be reloading. I don't have to concentrate to count. I recon it comes natural with me. When I hear gunfire in the woods, I can count the shots after I hear the reports. I just can't help it. Maybe this feller can convince you. His Name is Jerry Miculek and he's a purdy good shot and he does not go click, he counts his shots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srM2qghDFuI Campare Jerry Miculek to this yahoo. Or even this numb nuts. The difference is Jerry Miculek is a pistol shooter and the other two are just yahoos with numb nuts and a video camera.

"Take a bar of soap." That is the only advice I give through hikers. The rest you already know.

My instructor said. "By law I have to show you these two videos. (he held them up) Here they are, you've seen them. If anyone asks if I showed them to you say YES." Then he put the videos back in the box. This guy was a retired cop. I knew him when he was a narc back in the 80s. He had long hair and a beard then. He was the best instructor I've ever heard of. Knowbody got sleepy. He did live demostrations of the 21 feet rule, told stories about real life shootings and instructed us on how to recognise gangs and how they work when they are trying to ambush you or jack yo ride. He also went over the legal stuff. The man should write a book.

Other than the ammo order Midway has given good service. Of course, other than the fact that my X-girlfriend was cheating on me, she gave me good service too. To be honest I probably will buy from Midway in the future if they have something <besides ammo> that I want.

OK. I have been buying from Midway but never ammo. So I decided to buy some ammo from them. They kept changing the date on when the ammo would arrive. It was going to take 3 or 4 months to get this ammo. Final they told me that my 45acp target loads would take 10 months to get. This is the same ammo that Walmart sells all day long. So I ordered several hundreds dollars worth of ammo, and all I got was the run around. I never got one round of ammo so I canceled the order from Midway and sent them an e-mail explaining to them that if they are going to advertise ammunition they should be able to deliver, otherwise they should not sell it. Having to wait 10 months for Winchester 45 acp 230gr MC target ammo and then you may or may not get it. That is not good customer service. I have never ordered anything from them since then becuase I have found other on-line stores that will deliver what they say they will. I ain't mad, I ain't a hater. I just don't like BS.

I owned an orange 73 Gremlin X. 304cu in V-8. Hooker headers hush thrush mufflers. Motorcraft intake manifold with a 4 barrel carb and a 3.51 rear end. That car liked to got me kilt. Sheriff Pearson couldn't catch me...but he knew where I lived. I got home one night and he was parked in my driveway. He had a talk with my dad. The next day I had to trade the Gremlin in on a VW Beetle. Saved my life............

I'm not very happy with Midway. I'll not be buying from them again.

Does anyone remember Sam Pekinpaw's "Cross of Iron"? It's one of those sleeper movies that don't get a lot of playing time. It's about a group of German soldiers trying to survive the Russian Front in WWII. It's not the greatest war movie ever made, but it's a purdy good flick if you can find a copy.

The Atlantic is a long standing reputable magazine. Very good article. I have seen the same thing in Durham NC. The police and our institutions of law and order are the only thing protecting these gangs. If the system ever breaks down, the gangs will be the first thing to go. I sure wish I lived back in Tennessee up on the Plateau. There are some meth heads and dope growers up there, but nothin like here in Raleigh.

Buy you a pack of chewing gum and then go for a walk. If you can do that, you can count to six and still concentrate on trigger pull and not anticipating the shot and not flinching. I ain't asking you to pat your head and rub your belly at the same time. I'm just saying that the mark of a good revolver shooter is to know how many rounds he has fired and how many rounds he has left. If you can't do that then stick to something easier like a Glock. Boy that sounded saracstic and angry. If I talked like that to my wife, I'd have hell to pay. I don't recon I meant to sound like an ass, but I do believe what I said. .

WAIT! I got mine working! 100 rounds of American Eagle target loads with zero failures. 20 rounds of Cor-bon Power Balls with no failures. I did three things, 1) shot 200 "break in" rounds through it. I had many many FTFs. 2) I polished the feed ramp with a fine polishing rouge to a mirror finish. 3) I changed my grip so I could hold it a little firmer. I am very happy with it now. I have been in contact with their customer service, they were very helpful. I will carry this pistol now. It will out shoot a Kel-tec 3AT or a Ruger Kel-Tec LCP. Less felt recoil, better sights. I will never ever buy another 380 anything. I would rather carry an LCR .357.

Dirty Harry knew how many rounds he had left. He was just messing with the guy. Otherwise he would not have dry fired on the dude after backup arrived. Clint Eastwood was pretty good about six shooters shooting six times in a movie. I have counted as many a 13 shots from a six shooter in some movies. They also tend to rack pump shotguns a lot in movies almost like it's a pump BB gun and the more you pump it the harder it will shoot. The first thing I do when I chamber a round in my pump shotgun (rack) is load another round into the tube. Hollywood never does this. They also wait until they need to fire again before they rack the spent shell out and a new shell into the chamber. Any pump shotgunner will rack a new round into the chamber before the recoil settles. You never wait till you are pointing at a deer to rack a round. What was I talking about????? Oh yeah counting shots. After six shoots with a revolver, or 5 if it's a 5 shot, I'm done. Pulling the trigger again is a waste of time and could get you killed in a pistol fight.

When you only have six shots and then a slow reload, you gotta count to six. When I watch a western movie, I count the shots. When I hear shots in the distance, I count them. I'm weird like that.

I was looking up Ruger Single Six on you-tube. It's a six shot pistol, but every single video I watched, they shoot six times and then one more. Is it that they can't count, or they think that it may have an extra bullet in there somewhere? Or more likely, they know more about taking videos than they do shooting.

A chimpansee could pass the concealed carry course and probably the shooting part too. No worries mate. It's a piece of cake.

I have to agree with Darrel. You can keep a gun safe or you can keep a gun accessable. You can't have both. I keep my pistol safe during the day when I'm at work and in my bedside table at night. There is nothing wrong with getting a little pistol safe if you have kids or if you feel you need one. I'm just saying...........

Considering that the NAACP is the countries largest racist organization, I find it ironic.

I guess I should count my blessings. Horny Man In Assault Bust - July 14, 2010

An FBI agent or SWAT team member uses a $2500 custom 1911 as a tool to save lives and fight crime. To everyone else, it's just a high dollar toy. No offense intended, I have a few toys myself.

I would feel perfectly safe carrying my Colt Government for self defense. It's very reliable, accurate and has good stopping power. 8+1 is not too few rounds to have in a self defense scenario. For some reason, I don't carry it for self defense or even home defense. I think I bought because it's fun to shoot and fun to tinker with. I often think about carrying it but I always seem to find a reason to carry my Glock or my XD or my snubby. Yet when someone talks trash about how old it is or how outdated it is, I always feel defensive about it.

I have a Higgins 22 from 1935. They just don't make them like that any more. It will still drive nails and will out shoot any 10-22 ever made at long range.

I can't decide if this show sucks or not. Way too much testosteron. I watch it like my wife watches QVC.

I tell ya. My 1911 is my favorite pistol for so many reasons. The only thing is, as you draw the 1911 you have to release the saftey as you draw. Semi-auto pistols were designed to have the ammo in the grip, the handle. Revolver grips were designed to fit the hand. In a quick draw contest, the revolver has the advantage. This may be the only advantage that I can give to the revolver for self defense. The revolver fits the hand, it is easy to grab and pull. They point well. If I were going to get into an old fashioned Hollywood western shootout. I would choose the lowely, outdated, DA revolver. I did not come to this conclusion easily, but after many hours of practice I still carry an old fashioned, antiquated, antique handgun. I just cannot accepted that my Glocks, Springfields, Colts and Sigs are left at home. (Or maybe not.....depends on the threat)

PEARL HARBOR! It has so many historically inaccurate scenes. It's the movie I love to hate. The scene where the P-40 is flying back and forth across the airfield with a Zero on it's tail, and they guys on the ground have to climb the control tower to shoot the Zero down. WTF! A Zero would have dispatched the P-40 in about 5 seconds like that. That's just one of the many inaccuracies that made this movie a joke. There are too many to list on here. That is why Pearl Harbor is the worst movie I own. It is an insult to the brave men and women who fought and died on December 7th 1941.

Red Skelton is one of the funniest men I ever heard of.
