Hello all, I'm a long-absent returning member (looks like I last posted in 2014!) Since then, like most of you, I've had a LOT of life events, most notably a bout with cancer (all good now), retirement (highly recommended), and a daughter who'll be off to university later this year to finish...

One pair gone...other moved to eBay.

Hello all, I haven't posted in sometime, but wanted to give folks at the Lounge the first shot at these before they move to eBay. A job change a few years ago has resulted in my dressing much more conservatively than I had and I find that much of my wardrobe is now unused. Among the...

WOW...beautiful revolver, Renault. I've also seen the Thunder Ranch version of the Model 22 and really want to get my hands on one of these. How's the recoil?

Me too...BTW, what is the model number of that S&W. I want one...just like that!

Exactly my point. Training and familiarity with the weapon in your hand is exactly what makes the difference when the shooter is under stress...not the number of grains of powder behind the round or the size of the projectile that hopefully hits the mark. Granted, those two factors are...

I like the way you think, brother! :D

With the exception of military and law enforcement personnel, I'm always left to wonder why the issue of "stopping power" is such a determining factor in the purchase of a handgun. I understand the thought that if confronted in a "deadly force" situation, an individual will want to stack the...

Yes. Yes, yes and yes. :eusa_clap

With my daughter, a few years ago...

Glad to have helped, Atticus. Cool bottle! The wife and I have a bottle of mead in the basement that we've been waiting for a long time to try. Given your recommendation, maybe this weekend will be the time!
