Gratuitous Gun Pic: Ruger GP100 (.357 Mag)

Gratuitous Gun Pics

As I was browsing through my daily fare of (gun) porn, I stumbled across this beauty:

I used to own a GP100:

For some reason, the grips (as pictured above) didn’t seem to fit my hand properly, and then there was that Ruger trigger — although in mitigation, I was comparing that pull to my Colt Python’s — and the barrel was too short for .357 Mag shooting comfort, so I ended up selling it to buy something else.

All that said, if I look at the stainless model in the first pic, with its Hogue grips and 6″ barrel… hmmm, how much would a Ruger trigger job cost?

Thousands of people love and shoot the GP100, so who am I to argue with them?

And the final comment:  I eventually ended up shooting the Python to pieces;  I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have done the same with any GP100, using the same number of rounds.

Clueless Moron

Anti-Gun Nannies, Gummint, The Gun Thing

President Braindead issued his latest piece of stupidity a few days ago, and of course hilarity followed soon after:

President Joe Biden told NowThis News during a Sunday interview that he is pushing to limit gun owners to having no more than “eight bullets in a round.”

I know, I know;  it’s just another bit of Biden Droolspeak, and of course it’s laughable.

What’s really laughable is that an 8-round magazine capacity restriction (for that is what the First Moron is actually talking about) won’t ever pass into law, and even if it did, it’s unenforceable.

Or maybe Ol’ Stumbles really wants to turn few score million gun owners into de facto  criminals (which frankly, given the Socialists’ penchant for controlling the population, is not that far-fetched).

Roll on, Election Day 2022.

So, waltzing into the news:


…actually, Americans have felt this way since Reagan beat both Carter and Mondale like an old rug, only it’s taken this long for the GOPe to realize it. Morons.


...I prefer the red, because redhead;  but honestly...


...wait, didn’t President Braindead once say that all you need is a shotgun?


...actually, not at all about Jan 6.


...duh she’s not supporting Andrew, she’s reminding everyone that she knows who all the players are.

Also:


…I can’t believe it’s not an aneurysm.

And in other Health News:

…you mean RUI, surely?


...which is American’s standard response to any passenger complaint.


...key word:  amazingly not Florida, but Texas.

Let me know if y’all are getting sick of Paige:


...I may have edited the headline just a trifle.


...not that it matters, as she was caught in flagrante delicto later.

And in the linkage wasteland known as INSIGNIFICA:

And that’s the news, bad as it is.

Marxists, Two-Minute Hate

Here’s the situation:

With an estimated surface area of over 600,000 square miles, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is the largest plastic accumulation zone in the world.

Located halfway between Hawaii and California, the GPGP is estimated to contain a whopping 2.41 million tonnes of plastic – and is continuing to grow.

Scientists are desperately trying to clear the build-up, and this month have been able to extract 10 tonnes (10,086kg) of plastic, bringing the total of plastic removed to 145 tonnes (145,518 kg).

So the job is about .006% done?  Okay, whatever.  Keep on going, then.

What I object to is that the junk is being offloaded onto U.S. soil, when in fact it should just be returned to its principle point of origin:  China (with an assist from the Japs).

Of course, being the assholes that they are, the ChiComs won’t destroy or recycle any of it, but just dump it all back into the ocean.

Asia wins again.

By the way, I see no reason why this cleanup effort shouldn’t be funded in its entirety by Green billionaires and their woke corporations.
