My new EDC is a Taurus PT145 in .45 acp. I have shot a LOT of .45 acp over the years, and will always own a 1911. However, the Taurus is my carry for several reasons; 1) weight/size..it isn't much bigger than a Walther PPK/ Makarov and just about as slim 2) Its a striker-fire, like the Glocks...

I wear both; mostly baseball caps in the summer and fedoras in the fall/winter. My "go-to" baseball cap is a vintage 1937-1955 Brooklyn Dodgers ballcap.

personally, I would choose a fur-felt any chance I can get. However, lately I have been going with my vintage ballcap. It is a reproduction 1960's Houston Colt .45's baseball hat. it is distinctly different, but still offers a good deal of protection. I live in SW Ohio, where it gets rather...

For sheer relaxation, I go to the shooting range. There is nothing (and I mean NOTHING) that beats "ballisitic therapy". I am not a target shooter per se, but blasting at clay pigeons, pop cans, old fax machines, etc is an incredibly effective way to unwind, at least for me....

Selentino hats? Hello All- I am looking at a couple Selentino hats. They are marked "100% fur felt". Are these any good? Anyone had any experience with them? Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks Pete

1981 Datsun 210 station wagon. Purchased for $600 upon my discharge from the US Navy in 1989. It had 110,000 miles on it when I got it. Was a GREAT car... Oh, the fun times I had in that car!!!! Pete

These are my personal favorites......used quite often in my life "Never argue with idiots. Other people cannot tell which is which" "There are two things in this world that are infinite; the universe and human stupidity. I'm not sure about the former"....Albert Einstein "The eagle may soar...
