    9mm or 45cal

    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...

    Cheers To The Baseball Cap

    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.

    Felt hats in summer..

    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...

    Ok a hat I love but my wife hates it .....

    When I was married to my ex-wife, I had a WWII US Army pith helmet. I loved wearing it, but my ex-wife DESPISED it. So I wore it out in public as often as I could, just to be passive-aggressive. Itw as fun.....still have the pith helmet, too... Pete

    Relax...dont do it?

    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....

    What Is The Strangest Thing You've Ever Seen?

    While Serving active duty in the Navy, I saw some odd things; especially coming from my very sheltered eyes. My favorite was a smaller statured sailor, obviously fairly new on board, being lowered over the side of the ship on what looked like a board with a bucket of paint and a paint brush...
