Gun Thread: February! It's February 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 February? Man, January went by fast! I'll again be in and out of the comments tonight as I try to get some stuff done for work Monday morning.

With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we?

******
FUNdamentals

Q: Weasel, why do we focus on fundamentals?
A: We focus on fundamentals to build good, solid and repeatable habits and muscle memory.

How is your focus on fundamentals coming along? Showing any positive results?

Hickok45 - Too Valuable to Shoot?

I'd like to hear what all y'all think about this. Do you shoot everything you own, or do you have some firearms you consider too valuable to risk taking to the range? Does monetary value alone make the difference or are there other reasons you would consider a weapon too valuable to shoot? A family heirloom, for example? What sort of adverse things do you think might happen to a valuable gun if you take it to the range and shoot it, aside from losing it altogether, assuming the correct ammunition is used?

******
RCBS - How Reloading Dies Are Made

******
Israeli Bandage (or Dressing)
Everyone should have one in their safety kit or range bag, but do you know how to use it?

******
This Book Has Lots of Pictures

One of the nice things about revolvers is they're simple. One of the anxiety inducing things about pistols is the high probability of leftover parts upon re-assembly. Fear no more, the 7th Edition of Automatic Pistols Assembly and Disassembly is now available.
