      55 gallon barrels?

      I used to get them from McCutchen Apple products in Fredneck. They were used to import concetrated apple juice. Therefore, any residue was definitely Non-Toxic. Years ago they $10.00 each.

      Just got my CC permit...now what

      My original permit while on MPDC specified "Off Duty Only while employed by MPDC". If I was on duty, it was understood that I was carrying as per Congressional mandate. Although I worked in DC, I lived in MD, and was subject to 24 hr recall. This was normal while assigned to SOD. The week I...

      On-Site Laser Engraving Services

      They put a Metropolitan Police badge on my Glock 43. It was amazing. It was placed on top of the narrow slide.

      Trapping

      I have a large Hav-A-Heart live trap that my wife uses for groundhogs in her backyard in CT. If a groundhog could chew through it, I would address him as SIR.

      Flying with pistol

      Two years ago I had a slight hassle from an uninformed SW clerk at BWI, flying to Las Vegas. She insisted that I have a separate locking container for the ammo. I gave my ammo to a MdTA officer that I knew and immediately bought new Critical Defense after I landed.

      Whats the best camping gun?

      I agree, but with a 3 inch barrel. But if you keep it empty during the day, be well practiced with speed loaders. For a pistol, think about a compact 45ACP with a heavy round. Simply insert mag and rack.

      Glock 43

      When I picked up my 43, I had Engage install the Trijicon High Definition night sights. The orange ring around the illuminated front sight makes it jump out at you in bright sunlight. The added cost was well worth it.

      Glock 43

      I got my 43 when they first became MD legal, but I just got out to the range on Tuesday. I fired 100 rds and I love it. It will replace my Kahr P9 as my full time carry weapon.

      Non flat tip .357 mag ammo

      I had the same problem with my Henry 357.The original ammo I used, Southern Arms bulk ammo, had a sharp transition to the flat area. I went to Federal ammo which had a rounder transition to the flat tip and eliminated the problem.

      Handgun Roster Board

      Has anyone heard about Friday's Roster Board results? Did the Glock 43 pass? I don't see any reason it wouldn't since the 42 already has.

      Glock 43 - Who's buying one?

      I have a Kahr P9 because it's a single stack and easier to conceal than my G26. I wore it on a 4500 mile M/C ride. However, I have never liked the length and weight of the Kahr's trigger pull. I even sent it out to Cylinder and Slide, but they could only smooth it, not lighten it. The G42 is...

      Firearms possion on a boat.

      Immediately after 911, USCG was tightly controlling traffic on the Potomac River in the DC area. I got pulled over by a USCG RHIB for a routine check. A young PO in the bow asked me if I had any weapons aboard and I answered in the affirmative. He was speechless because no one had ever...

      Ruger 10/22 tactical

      I was looking for a 10/22 factory threaded barrel. Ruger would not sell me one. So I bought a "Tactical" for not too much more than having my existing 10/22 threaded and now I have 2 10/22s.

      Idiots & White Stuff

      Unfortunately, in lower MoCo, the last vehicle that a lot of people drove was powered by burro, camel, or water buffalo. They have no concept of SNOW. They won't even clean their windows.

      Leather gun belt

      If you want to deal with a local shop, check out Atlantic in Rockville. They're into Cowboy shooting.

      Meet Andy Raymond

      When I go into Engage, Brutus will actually start crying if I don't immediately give him his ration of Snausages. I do make him work for them by going a series of commands.

      I still carry my Mod 60 once in a while that I bought new in 1974. It was my official off duty service weapon during the 70s and 80s. I keep 38 spl +P hollow points in it.
