Gun Thread: More November Edition!Howdy, Y'all! Welcome to the wondrously fabulous Gun Thread! As always, I want to thank all of our regulars for being here week in and week out, and also offer a bigly Gun Thread welcome to any newcomers who may be joining us tonight. Howdy and thank you for stopping by! I hope you find our wacky conversation on the subject of guns 'n shooting both enjoyable and informative. You are always welcome to lurk in the shadows of shame, but I'd like to invite you to jump into the conversation, say howdy, and tell us what kind of shooting you like to do! Holy Shitballs! How in the ever-loving Hell did it get to be more November? I have noticed all y'all seem to be in a great mood lately, must be the Fall weather and return to Standard Time!! With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we? Happy Birthday United States Marine Corps! FUNdamentals Recovering from a canoeing accident is definitely a fundamental which needs to be part of your focus . Your guns may have been lost, but unless it was a Sig or a vintage Smith & Wesson revolver, you probably still want to live to engage in recreational boating another day! Guns of the Horde Our pal Butch not only shares his collection of Berettas, but takes them to the range! I have accidentally acquired a collection of Beretta Mouse Guns, ironically named after cats. They all share the same open top slide and beautiful Italian design. Yeah, they're purdy, but how do they shoot? Well they shoot okay, but I suck. Forgive me, Gub Threaders but I have not been to the range in mumble-mumble months. I also confess that the last several mags were rushed. I recently retired, so I have more free time to work on fundamentals. Beretta 71 (Cougar) Chambered in .22LR, alloy frame, steel slide, 8-round magazine. Used by Israeli Air Marshals, the Mossad, and Sayeret Matkal. To meet the weight/length restrictions of the 1968 GCA, a fake suppressor was "permanently" pinned to the barrel. Once in CONUS, they can be removed. Mine is an import from Israel. Beretta 84F (Cheetah) Chambered in .380 ACP, 13-round double-stacked magazine. It has a "combat" trigger guard with a squared-off front that allows for a finger hold and a frame-mounted safety/de-cocker. Beretta 85F (Cheetah) It is essentially the same as the 84F, but has an 8-round single stack magazine. Browning BDA Manufactured by Beretta for FN Herstal. It is derived from the Beretta 84 (same 13-round magazines), but does not have an open slide. The safety is slide mounted (up = pew, down = no pew). Thanks Butch! Nice collection and shooting! Highway Patrol A great episode of this classic, including a gun safety lesson! Our Pal the O Ring Uranus! Target Earth! Gertie Settles In Our newest pack member, Gertrude (Gertie for short), is settling in nicely after two weeks. Here she is snuggled in on top of a cozy cave. She's a really sweet and gentle girl, and is proving to be a great little sister for FSJ! Musical Interlude Here are the Outlaws with Green Grass And High Tides Gun Basics 101 New video from the She Equips Herself gal! This week's video is on gun cleaning basics! Cigar of the Week This week our pal Diogenes scores again with this excellent review of the The Gurkha Ghost So, for my celebratory cigar, I went bigly. The Gurkha Ghost complete with holographic band which I thought was kinda cool. And I’m glad I did! Excellent, Diogenes! Thank you! Here are some different online cigar vendors. You will find they not only carry different brands and different lines from those brands, but also varying selections of vitolas (sizes/shapes) of given lines. It's good to have options, especially if you're looking for a specific cigar. Cigarsinternational.com A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site! Ammo Link-O-Rama This week's mailbag entry is from our pal Fungus Boy. Great one! Please note the new and improved protonmail account gunthread at protonmail dot com. An informal Gun Thread archive can be found HERE. Future expansion plans are in the works for the site Weasel Gun Thread. If you have a question you would like to ask Gun Thread Staff offline, just send us a note and we'll do our best to answer. If you care to share the story of your favorite firearm, send a picture with your nic and tell us what you sadly lost in the tragic canoe accident. If you would like to remain completely anonymous, just say so. Lurkers are always welcome! That's it for this week - have you been to the range? | Recent Comments
