Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
How was thegunshow?
Another brief flirtation with spring like weather and I thus headed to the range.
Sounds like y’all up nawth are going to get it again.
I wuz thinkin' the same thing...
interesting set up... appreciate your review...
rained here saturday...
worked on thenewgarage...
Oops, umm... it was in the future, and the DeLorean's in the shop.
It's next Saturday.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand winter’s back.
Cool.
I watched Chariots of Fire the other night. I’d forgotten that Ian Holm was the trainer. His name was “Sam.”
Decades ago in 1965 television had a series on the War of the Roses, with excerpts from Shakespeare’s Henry VI Part 1, Henry VI Part 2, Henry VI Part 3, and Richard III. Holm played Richard III brilliantly (David Warner played VI soulfully). This was videotaped. In the late 1980’s they filmed it, and included Richard II, Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, and Henry V. The Royal Shakespeare Company performed in both series.

I have some arugula that overwintered with the turnips....who knew?
Does 2 inches of snow merit the break, milk, eggs routine?
No, but if we do get a couple of inches, we move up to 2nd place in snowiest winters ever. A record I would prefer NOT to break!
There is severe damage to the Christchurch, NZ area. Nearly 100 killed, hundreds missing, and 80% of the city has no water.
The operating principle is exactly the same, the main difference being the much beefier slide and barrel in .32ACP. Both carry and draw smoothly in the same DeSantis pocket holster.
And I even have my minimum ammo requirement of 1000 rounds already in the can, and properly labeled. Range report, including 115gr 9mm in the Kimber Solo, as time, weather, and my Mom's homecoming allow.
Prayers for your Mom an you buddy....
Little berettas are cool. I have a 70 an 71S .22’s I picked up overseas long ago an they still sing. My only .32 is a Seecamp aka a Rolex that shoots. It only plays well with 60gr winchester silvertips.
Again....hope all is ok for your Mom.
Stay Safe...
Prayers up for Mom. I know how it is. Hang in there.
That pistol is just the cutest thing ever. I think I need one of those. :-)
It’s a winter wonderland!
They’re saying 2 to 4 inches now.
Yeah, and the icy sleet underneath is such a nice touch, too!
One word of warning: it is vey easy to pop the safety out of the gun when removing the grip panel on the left side. That, in turn, launches a teeny spring and detent plunger that controls the safety. Always pry the grip off from the front, despite the large undercut that locks the grip in place. Also, keep your thumb on the flat face of the safety so nothing pops loose.
I learned the hard way. I also bought a half-dozen springs and detent plungers from Brownells (about $1 each). I've never seen a booby trap like this triggered by trying to remove what seems like a simple grip panel.
I spent three hours trying to get that little pin and spring back to where it belongs, but the long-but-strong spring just wouldn't behave, so I couldn't get the pin in. Then I remembered this handy little tool from Brownells that worked wonders in my 1911 work in getting the safety detent to be depressed enough that I could press in the safety under thumb pressure.
My three hours of sweat and swearing boiled down to two minutes to figure out the proper approach and get the job done. The Marvel detent pin tool: it's not just for M1911s any more.
Gun show this weekend over here. I’ll be looking for pieces and parts.
