When I first found these online a few years ago, I did nothing with my free time but read all the old ones. Cooper is one of a kind. Well worth reading if you haven't already done so.

When you have acquired a good gun, there is no real need ever to acquire another

Heresy from the Pope of GunSite!

Had to post this one:

I am bemused by the continuous attempt on the part of various commentators to establish "a link between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda." Somehow I do not see a problem there. When I was in school, there was no difficulty in establishing a link between the Stanford football team, the Stanford band, and the Stanford faculty. They were all "sons of the Stanford red." All these Moors are card-carrying Moors.

So the wise and the powerful are still looking for a connection between various sorts of Moors. When I was a lad I assumed there was a connection between Admiral Nagumo and General Yamashita. They did not wear the same uniform, but they fought for the same divine emperor. There was a link.

The operative word is need. Given different guns for different situations one may presume that what the Cololen is saying is once one has every situation covered there is no need to aquire other firearms. However, there may be a desire to do so for purposes of pleasure etc.

"Gun bearer."
That's good.

That about sums up the new .50 S&W.

Such titles spring up this time of year!

Carrying this puppy on your right hip might require a very large pocketknife in your lefthand pocket.

Thank-you for the heads up. I read what was posted here and will return to read the excerpted part. I can see why you'd become "addicted!" LOL!!

The Colonel just gets crustier and crustier.
It's wonderful.

I was thinking exactly that when I first read about that gun. It's not like that's a new theme with Cooper.

Needs repeating!!!!

Glock is offering a .45 short? What the heck is that all about?

I checked glocks web page, and google, but could find no other info about it. I wonder if it would work in my .45 acp derringer?
