Gun Thread: Final December and Final 2025 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! It's a gol-danged double final! How in the ever-loving hell did it get to be the Final December Edition and the Final 2025 Edition?! Christmas was bueno (read: quiet-o) here. How about all y'all? Did you get shooting stuff? Did you give shooting stuff? Did you both give and get shooting stuff?

Your ol' pal Weasel hopped into WeaselOne yesterday and made a quick trip to WeaselAcres to check on things, and everything was just peachy. A few extra sticks to pick up along the road, but that was it. I didn't stay long enough to do any shooting, and will remedy that next trip. How about you? Anyone get a new firearm and take it to the range?

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

In accordance with longstanding Gun Thread tradition, the Final December Edition and Final 2025 Edition always focuses on revolver fundamentals.

Take it away, Jer!

Just do what he says, 'kay?

RECOMMENDED NEW YEARS RESOLUTION: Focus on fundamentals.

It's .44 Magnum revolver madness!

You be the judge.

This week's episode: Oil Lease!

Friggin' commies!

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.

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!
