Everyone is putting up their end of year traffic graphs/best posts and whatnot. But Robb has the one graph you must.
“Number of times I made fun of Caleb for shooting hostages.”
I maintain that that guy was a collaborator and the sumbitch had it coming.
The shot in question is contained in this video.
If, like me, you’re a fan of Taurus firearms, then you’ll be tickled to know that Novak is now producing a sight that fits the existing dovetail on the PT-1911 and the 24/7 OSS pistols. This means that you can now replace the factory sights (which are actually excellent Heinie sights on those pistols) with a Novak fiber optic or tritium sight.
According to Novak’s website, they’ll install the new sights on your gun for $35 plus shipping, and of course the cost of the part. All you have to do is send them your 24/7 OSS or PT1911 slide and you’re off to the races.
Check out Peter’s new S&W snubbie.
Pictures that like make me rethink the number of bottom feeding pistols I own.
This picture pretty handily encapsulates my evening.
I will probably not post until late, very late tomorrow, so take this evening to spend time with friends and loved ones. Here are Caleb’s New Year Rules:
W/regards to the Central Indiana weather for this Saturday’s IDPA match:
It will be cool but sunny on Saturday but then defensive pistol situations don’t always occur when it is 70 and spring like.
Yep. This is why we still shoot when it’s cold out.
Sorry for the crunchy audio on last night’s show. However, if you managed to stick it out, you would have a heard a pretty fun show, including a call in from the old man from Family Guy.
As usual, you can also click here (or the other embedded player) to download your own copy of the .mp3 file of the show.

Dave Hardy has an analysis of the issues with their suit here. Sebastian points out there are some logical inconsistencies in the complaints of the Brady Campaign. From his blagowebs:
Carrying firearms is still prohibited on the National Mall and at Ellis Island, because the states they are in prohibit carrying of firearms. Hell, even Independence Hall in Philadelphia will still be off limits, because while Pennsylvania allows for licensed concealed carry, access to Independence National Historical Park is through a a federal facility, where guns are still illegal. This is fear mongering, pure and simple. As usual with the Brady folks, these claims are patently false.
That’s right, the Brady Campaign is somehow claiming that the rule change would magically reverse the “No CCW” laws of Washington DC.
The danger in this sort of legal action is how it plays in the media – when the all important middle ground sees stuff like this, they often don’t challenge it and just assume that the media wouldn’t lie to them about it. That’s why it’s important for us as activists to point out the logical and factual innacuracies; just as Sebastian and Dave did.
Tomorrow night on the Outdoor Channel, the episode of Michael Bane’s show Shooting Gallery that was shot during the ParaUSA Gun Blogger Summer Camp will be showing. It’s airing as part of Outdoor Channel’s “Wednesday Night at the Range” coverage.
If you get the Outdoor Channel, set your TIVO/DVR whatever, and don’t miss this episode!
The front of the business cards I had some awesome graphics guy design for me.
The actual finished product looks even better.
