American Handgunner archives from May 2005

CCW boomer.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... Only Clint would use a .500 S&W Magnum in a concealed carry class ("Fighting 500" March/April), and only Clint could get away with it. I laughed until my side hurt, but I did learn one thing--somebody did finally use "enough" gun! Mark...

Dandy DVD.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... I just received the Making Thunder DVD and it rocks! Only one complaint--it's not long enough! Big thanks to S&W, Clint Smith and Roy Huntington for putting this thing together. Jerry McKinley Ladd Via E-mail Thanks Jerry, glad...

Mean streak.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... Reading your answers to some of the letter writers, it's apparent you have a dark sense of humor and a bit of a mean streak. I like that in a man. It was always the first thing I looked for in a partner. I've decided you fell into the perfect...

Still get killed.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... The final point from Clint Smith (Reality Check March/April) was excellent, particularly when coupled with the moving dedication to the fallen Delta snipers. You may do everything right, and still lose. An important thing for any warrior to be...

Don't fire John!(Speak out: your forum to pontificate ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... I noticed in answer to one of the letters (Nov/Dec 2004) you made the comment you were thinking about firing Taffin. Knowing you spoke in jest, I must comment. Taffin is one of the few really good handgun writers on the scene today. They are...

More .44 rantings.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... I'm one of those guys who has a TR .44 special and it's a great gun. I got a kick out of reading the latest issue (March/April) when that bozo said he was going to write a letter to S&W complaining about Clint's language. He then mentioned he...

Spec-Op Night-Fighters.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... I'm quite sure you'll receive a number of e-mails in reference to Mr. Butler's brilliant arm-chair commando e-mail (Speak Out, Jan/Feb 2005). In short, don't waste your excellent magazine's precious space with a bunch of rebuttals. Trying to...

Mad at Duke.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate, ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... I was a big fan of Skeeter Skelton as long as he lived. Got a big kick out of his fictional characters as well as his true to life articles on guns. I always thought his buddy, Jug Johnson passed away with Skeeter but after reading the tripe by...

Former spurt.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate, ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... I'm no expert, but I was astonished to read in Mike Venturino's mean-spirited article, ("The .45 Colt Sucks!" March/April), that the .45 Auto-Rim is "deader than the manual typewriter." My manual typewriter has been stored in the back of the...

.45 AR.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate, ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... You were exactly right to tout the virtues of the .45 Auto Rim. This has been my favorite cartridge since about 1960 and one of the most versatile to load. My S&W Model 1955 has been through thousands of rounds from full loads to light target...

From Colt.(Speak out: your forum to pontificate, ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... The "More Colt Stuff' piece (Insider, March/April 2005) issue misstates Colt's position on the use of "COLT" and "LONG COLT" caliber markings on handgun barrels and needs to be addressed. While Colt wholeheartedly supports the ATF and SAAMI...

An argument!(Speak out: your forum to pontificate, ponder and probe)(Letter to the Editor)
May 1, 2005... I measure how much I shoot by weighing the coffee cans of expended primers that drop out of the bottom of my two Dillon presses. It's up to about 25 pounds, so anybody who wants to can figure it out. Throughout all this shooting the great...

The Daniel Boone & dangerous man syndromes.(Shooting Iron[TM]: thumb bustin' musings from the Duke)
May 1, 2005... My first experience with the Daniel Boone syndrome came via my own grandfather. He was an eastern Kentucky coal miner, and in fact lived in the same coal camp that Loretta Lynn grew up in. He always kept handguns, mostly S&W .32s, .38s and...

Dangerous is as dangerous does.(Shooting iron[TM thumb Bustin' musings from the Duke)
May 1, 2005... Then there's the Dangerous Man Syndrome. That's when someone thinks just because they have a CCW, it makes them a man not to be trifled with. Here's a for-instance. A fellow showed up at my place one day while I was practicing with a 1911 at...

Lovers not fighters.(Shooting Iron[TM]: thumb bustin' musings from the Duke)
May 1, 2005... What about becoming a Dangerous Man? That requires training, mind set and real-world experience. Personally, I'll settle for just never being considered dangerous to those around me when I'm handling guns. Besides, if I had my druthers, I'd...

Dave's funnest gun.(Winning edge: solid advice to keep you ahead of the competition)
May 1, 2005... Handgunner editor Roy Huntington is a pretty tough guy, not surprising for someone who spent 20 years on the mean streets enforcing the law. But his articles often convey a unique sense of humor, and many readers are convinced he's just a...

Keeping it simple.(Winning edge: solid advice to keep you ahead of the competition)
May 1, 2005... A simple job actually, picking my favorite handgun. It's the handgun I've owned the longest; a Beretta .22 LR semiauto bought more than 35 years ago. The original box calls it a "Pistola Automatica Serie 70." The instruction manual, printed in...

Setting the record straight.(Guncrank Diaries[TM]: excuses, alibis pithy observations & general ephus)
May 1, 2005... Let's get this perfectly clear, okay? I'm not an expert. I'm just sorta "experienced." They're not the same thing at all. After telling you guys about "The Memsaab Mug-Wipe" in the Jan-Feb 2005 Handgunner, I got lotsa mail on it. Most of you...

Shake, rattle and roll.(Guncrank Diaries[TM]: excuses, alibis pithy observations & general ephus)
May 1, 2005... Rattles: If you're gonna make noise, make it "Bang!" It doesn't matter whether you're wearing pucker-brush-camo in Whatzistan, duty-blue in Boston or aloha-casual in Honolulu, if you go about armed, you shouldn't tromp around soundin' like...

Ruger's new vaqueros: slim, trim and spirited.(Taffin tests: the sixgunner himself: guns, gear and more)
May 1, 2005... As regular readers of these pages know, I am a great fan of the Colt SAA. It's a soul-stirrin', spirit-kindling, fast-heart-beatin' type of sixgun. I've been taken to task by more modern types for clinging to it as a viable defensive sixgun; I...

Sixgunners embrace the Vaquero.(Taffin tests: the sixgunner himself: guns, gear and more)
May 1, 2005... Those words, written in 1993, ended my first article on the then newly-introduced Ruger Vaquero. In its first year of production the Ruger Vaquero outsold all company predictions (I've heard ten times more than expected), and has gone on to be...

An 'oops' analyzed.(Handloading: sage advice from the handloading guru)
May 1, 2005... When the .40 S&W was brand new I did a lot of testing with it and shot quite a bit of both factory and handloaded ammo while it evolved. So I'm sure I was not the only person to shoot a round of it in a .45 ACP. Not long after that I committed...

Me? Stupid?(Handloading: sage advice from the handloading guru)
May 1, 2005... Some of you by now are probably calling me--and those other unfortunate souls--stupid for loading the wrong cartridge. Guilty. But it's such an easy thing to do. Loading magazines is one of those mindless tasks we do every time we shoot and I...

Embarrassing moment.(Handloading: sage advice from the handloading guru)
May 1, 2005... The event that ruptured this barrel was firing with a bore obstruction. We are always warned about stuff like this but it sure isn't hard to see how it happens. I apologize for the quality of the pictures but the .45 bullet is still in the...

Strange requests.(Pistolsmithing: the inside scoop on pistolsmithing techniques)
May 1, 2005... All gun shops have customers who come in with special requests for something seemingly impossible or just flat funny. Gunsmiths who do strictly custom work probably get the strangest and funniest jobs because that's what we do. We build stuff...

45-70 wrist wrecker.(Hamilton's Believe It Or Not)
May 1, 2005... When JD Jones wrote about drilling holes in Cape Buffalo with a 45-70 handgun in the Jan/Feb issue, it put my tiny brain to spinning and remembering--a constant state for we old codgers--and request from a customer around 15 years ago came to...

Sissy gun.(Hamilton's Believe It Or Not)
May 1, 2005... When I was young and wild back in 1973, I did build a pink S&W Model 36 for an extraordinarily gorgeous redheaded rancher's daughter, but that was a lot different. The emphasis at that time was on the word "gorgeous." We did not have the fine...

Stroh's triple lock stroke.(Hamilton's Believe It Or Not)
May 1, 2005... And then there is this one from master pistolsmith Jim Stroh. A man came into Jim's shop with a rare, pristine S&W First Model HE triple lock and wanted Jim to do a little custom work; work designed to give any S&W collector a stroke. Seems he...

Strahan dragon teeth.(Hamilton's Believe It Or Not)
May 1, 2005... Gunsmiths in general are on the "other side of the mirror" in what they dream up, and Travis Strahan of Ringold, Georgia is no exception. The photos show one of Mr. Strahan's patented inventions for the 1911 whereby in our constant search for...

May 1, 2005... Situation: First the crazy woman jeopardized her little kids' lives. Then she came at them--and you--with a cleaver-like edged weapon. Lesson: Do what you know you must. Leave it to the rest of society to determine why the mentally ill, and...

Horizontal happiness.(Reality Check[TM]: first-person thoughts on surviving in the real world)
May 1, 2005... After successfully moving our business to the wilds of the Oregon outback I've had a chance to use some new equipment and thought I'd share what I learned. At my request, Jerry Evans at Haugen Handgun Leather designed a new field holster for me...

Special Spegels.(Reality Check[TM]: first-person thoughts on surviving in the real world)
May 1, 2005... Last year I Showed photographs of S & W revolver dressed in slim stocks made of good-looking wood materials. Not being much of a polymer guy, I still like old guns and wood for handgun stocks, but never understood those S&W "skinny top, fat...

No ballistic baloney.(Reality check[TM]: first-person thoughts on surviving in the real world)
May 1, 2005... There's a couple of new products that may be of interest to "city" or apartment dwellers. Called, respectively, the "'The Waller Safe Aim" and the "Safe Direction." they make home load-status checks safer. I recommend those who carry a firearm...

Glocken triggers.(Better Shooting)
May 1, 2005... "After a shot is fired, let off the trigger just enough until you feel a slight snap. This is the connector returning over the trigger bar as the trigger is reset. Once the snap occurs, you have reset the action for another shot." Developing...

Tank-tough Tauris:.(Handgun leather: from classics to cutting-edge in carry methods)
May 1, 2005... Meeting artisans and craftsmen who are also terrific people is perhaps the best part of writing a leather column. A case in point is Mike Taurisano. While working as a lowly editorial assistant for the then-Handgun Leather Columnist, Roy...

Most copied.(Handgun leather: from classics to cutting-edge in carry methods)
May 1, 2005... One of the Tauris holster designs Mike says is at the top of the "most-copied" list, is his snap holster. There are more snaps on holsters out there today than in a tractor trailer full of Rice Crispies. Everyone is making them now. The Tauris...

The police revolver ... it ain't dead yet!(Cop talk: opinion and facts from the mean streets)
May 1, 2005... "There," I yelled triumphantly as I stabbed the "send" button. "Take your damn high tech cyber-pictures, Huntington!" I had just e-mailed my first column with digital photos to the editor. He told me I was the last of the Handgunner staff...

A wheelgun patina.(Cop talk: opinion and facts from the mean streets)
May 1, 2005... According to a recent New York Times story, that's how many of the city's Finest are still packing .38 Special revolvers as primary duty weapons. They stand out among the more than 30,000 officers there, most of whom wear DA0 9mm autos to work....

Faithful old friends.(Cop talk: opinion and facts from the mean streets)
May 1, 2005... In ancient times when people like me were fighting to get autos instead of revolvers for police duty, we kept hearing the phrase, "Our faithful old friend, the revolver." Today, we have a generation of cops who've never held a revolver unless...

Texas longhorn arms: Bill Grover 1944-20004.(The Six Gunner)
May 1, 2005... There are many things in this world we can have way too much of; good friends is not one of them and it always hurts deeply to have to say goodbye to one. I first "met" Bill Grover in the pages of GUNS magazine 30 years ago, and then followed...

S&W's Sigma auto.(New, Improved And Half The Price Of The Competitors)
May 1, 2005... If imitation is really the sincerest form of flattery Glock should never have sued S&W over the Sigma. But they did. I was one of a group of who were invited to Florida in March of 1994 for the introduction of a new pistol we later learned was...

Glocks vs. Peacemakers: dare we go here? Only Handgunner and the duke has the guts!
May 1, 2005... When I began to think of ways for me, someone who views most firearms from a historical perspective, to approach the subject of Glocks, I kind of shorted out. But, my brain went to work on it eventually. "Let's see," I thought, "the angle...

Wilson combat takes command: the sixgunner rings out 'the professional model'.
May 1, 2005... Gunpowder dates back more than 1,000 years, with the Chinese using it mainly for fireworks. However the evolution of corresponding firearms has been relatively slow. The first firearms appearing in Europe in the early 1300s were nothing more...

May 1, 2005... The definition of the word "treasure" can be a lot of things to a lot of people, but most of us will agree there is none more sacred treasure in this world than life itself. In fact, our country and its laws are founded on the freedom to pursue...

Magnificent manifestation: Turnbull's classic cowboy SAA.
May 1, 2005... No, it's not. It's not a Colt, and, it's not an Italian copy either. Hmmm... the mystery deepens. And it's built in the United States. And it's built in Connecticut. But remember, it's not a Colt. How's that again? Actually, it began life...

Don't be a bonehead: clean your guns!
May 1, 2005... I should have been careful what I asked for, 'cause I sure got it. I'd been lobbying Pasha Huntington for a new assignment. "Something fun and different," I chirped. "Photographing the President's gun collection, for instance. Or sitting down...

May 1, 2005... I'm certainly no expert on this subject but some things are just outright glaring I gotta' say something. I picked up a copy of, shall we say, "your competition" in the magazine business. You gents should be very proud of the magazines you put...
