caracal quick sights – a retrospective

Judging from the search traffic and keywords that are directed at my sites, people are once again interested in that still-somewhat-hard-to-get/find pistol, the UAE’s Caracal. Undoubtedly, this interest is spurred by the Caracal’s rather good (from what I hear) showing at SHOT Show, but the vast majority of that …

this should be fun

I just received confirmation from the appropriate source that “walls of the city” will be receiving its first official test-and-evaluation firearm hopefully by the middle of next month.  I am not going to let slip what exactly it is, but I will provide you the following hints: 

– The firearm …

that hurts a little to look at

I am very glad other people have the money and stones to do failure tests on equipment, because destroying this many stocks would probably make me cry on the inside a little, even though it was in pursuit of some useful knowledge.

That said, on the one hand, pictures of …

quote of the day – weer’d beard

Why do "gun control" extremists hate women? Hold that question – we will come back to it.

I have to admit, the color pink does nothing for me. This is not some sexist statement; the color just has no particular attraction for me, and its extreme overuse by Hollywood socialites …

not a hard lesson to learn

Brownells has always struck me as something of an old-fashioned (in a very good way) company, so it amuses me that they seem to have a firmer grasp on the treacherous beast that is "the Internet" than the self-proclaimed "internet media professional", Paul Helinski (who cannot even seem to run …

support starbucks; support our troops

As I obliquely mentioned while exposing the "National Gun Victims Action Council" for being the gun-grabbing bigots they are, the anti-rights cultists are organizing a boycott of Starbucks, not just because the coffee company abides by the laws of whatever states their shops are in and thus allows open …

ngvac set gun control up the bomb

I have to admit – I really, really love it when our opponents stab themselves in the back. It is no great surprise that the Germans had a word for that concept, but no matter how you cut it, watching anti-rights cultists destroy their own arguments with wanton disregard …

rail-mounted r2d2

I really do not know what to make of a combat optic that not only has firmware, but also has a data port by which you can upgrade it.

On a more graspable level, however, that the same data port can not only be used to energize the optic …

oh thank god

Ammoman has a new website.

Not to be rude/snarky/whatever, but about time! Good prices should not have to come at the cost of a substandard customer experience, but that often seems to be the case…

In any case, his prices are hard to beat, and now the website should …

what a horrible name

Ever since my Walther PPS hit the market a couple of years ago, there were always questions as to whether or not Walther / Smith & Wesson would ever get around to increasing its caliber selection (currently 9mm and .40S&W caliber) to include the tried-and-true .45ACP.

At this point, though, …

so it is a dying sport, huh?

I have been going to Coal Creek Armory for the past three+ years we have lived in the Knoxville area, and I have learned that there are definitely some times you do not want to try to get a range lane – after church on Sunday, afternoons towards the end …

i have to ask

So Stoeger has had their Side-by-Side Double Defense for a couple years now, and I have always kind of wanted one because coach guns are awesome and, hey, rails, and that was all well and good.

Now apparently they have a Over-Under Double Defense, and I still kind of want …

we do not claim; we prove

Regular – or, hell, even irregular – readers of this weblog are probably more than familiar with my rebranding of "gun control" supporters as "anti-rights cultists" but go ahead and slide back there to re-read that particular post to get everyone back on the same page.

All good? Great.

So, …

quote of the day – peter

Well, it is fair to say the gunblogger community has finally come of age… not only do we have people skimming and siphoning off the community for their own profit, not only do we have people exploiting the community for their own gains, but we now have old-timers

tellin’ riddles in the dark

Want to know the difference between “gun control” extremists and pro-rights activist in one easy-to-swallow lesson?  Behold. 

Brady Campaign Board Member, blood-dancer extraordinaire, arguable face of “gun control”, and eugenicist Joan Peterson (writing under the moniker “japete”) at the conclusion of a post abusively castigating pro-rights activists …

now witness the firepower of this fully operational intertube

Since everyone’s favorite company president, Paul Helinski, was having such a hard time comprehending the nature of the internet and how exactly it works, I thought I would take a moment and give him some easy-to-understand, graphical pointers. 

First, run a Google search for “gunsamerica”.  If you do it …

paul helinski of gunsamerica fails at the internet

So apparently there is this site called GunsAmerica… frankly, I have never heard of it, and after reading the comments and opinions of a certain Paul Helinski (who feels quite comfortable speaking for the site as a whole), I am going to go on remaining blissfully ignorant of it (hence …

make your own future

Yesterday, I accurately said that there was nothing I could add to the letter A Girl and Her Gun wrote to those who would deprive her of her rights, and I stand by those words; however, coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous, and here I am… shall-we-say "expanding" …

quote of the day – david e. young

A lot of anti-rights lawyers like to make a lot of noise over how much education they may or may not have received, and how many cases they have managed to stay awake for, and how smart they are, and so on so forth, but it is always interesting to …

an open letter to those who would deprive us of our rights

There is nothing I can – or should – add to this:

You, you who hate guns, you gave me nothing.

No hope.

No tools.

All that was offered me was a life of fear, of resentment, of bitterness, of dependance…

The gun community has offered me hope and
