    Ready as they will let us be, things kicked off today downtown but not too bad. They keep telling us it won't be a repeat of 68' but it's a diffrent breed of protester now.

    Ah I understand, yes the ridgid synthetics are very nice for duty and they do come in diffrent leather patterns so they are very versatile.

    Show us your Guns!

    I'm not a fan of the one size fits all idea when it come to holsters and retention, I was shocked when I was issued new duty gear ( nylon against my will) and then holster said it would fit several models of guns from several completely different manufactures. I guess it's all dollars and cents...

    I love the old K frames I have two, one I bought and the other was my grandfathers that he carried it as a Chicago policeman for 35 years. They simply don't make revolvers like they used to.

    P-40 found in desert

    Very sad, reminds me of the B-24 " Lady B Good" that crashed during the war. It's a shame he was just written off, but there were without a doubt many others who shared the same fate waiting to be discovered in the deserts and oceans.

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Had a cool moment at work a few months back, I had a rare opportunity to work in a suit instead of my uniform (police officer) and decided to top off my ensemble with my gray fedora. When I got in to work my Deputy Chief who is one of those “I’ve got more time in the job than you have on this...
