Still smarting from the experience with the POS Savage Predator (see here), I happened upon this little video (watch it first before heading below the fold). Read more

We can always depend on the Daily Mail to skip the unnecessary stuff and get to what’s really interesting:
Forget the football, who will lift the cup for most glamorous partner?

Misplaced Concern
From Longtime Reader MurphyAZ:
“I have this uneasy feeling that you might be sliding into a fire (flood?) sale. I hope that is not the case, and that all is well in Kim’s Land.”
Bless you, old son, for your concern; but let me assure you that this is absolutely not the case.
The plain fact of the matter is that as with many Olde Pharttes, I am getting tid of stuff that I don’t, can’t or don’t want to use anymore: the bass guitar gear was a “can’t”, the 16ga shotgun was a “don’t” — or, given that I plan on getting a 20ga to start doing sporting clays soon, “won’t want to use anymore” — and if the sale of said items can get me a “free” CZ G2 Bobtail:
…then so much the better.
Just to hammer the point home: we have emerged from the past four months of flood disaster and theft of two guns with our finances more or less intact, thanks in no small part to the unbelievable generosity of my Loyal Readers, blessings be upon you all.
I even managed to acquire a replacement S&W Model 65 along the way. (Range report to follow shortly.)
So once again, thank you (and anyone else who may have felt the same way) for your concern, but I’m fine.
Get Serious
A lot of people seem to be getting upset about this silly bitch:
A psychiatrist from New York City went on a racist rant back in April in which she expressed her desire to kill White people simply because they are White, as heard in recently-revealed audio of the lecture, the New York Post reports.
The comments were made by Dr. Aruna Khilanani during a lecture to the Yale School of Medicine on April 6th. She said that she dreams of “unloading a revolver into the head of any White person that got in my way,” and that if she did so, she would leave the scene of the crime “with a bounce in my step.”
Oh, puh-leeze. A revolver?
Compared to some of MY fantasies about dealing with Ivy League academics like her, that’s positively humane (think: flamethrowers after a full-body flaying, and you’d be on the right track).

Steely Dan’s Midnight Cruiser
Actually, it’s been stuck there for about the past three days. But if you’re going to have one of those, there are a LOT worse.
Friday Night Movies
When Ken Hackathorn and Massad Ayoob sit and talk about their favorite guns, competition shooting and such, there’s a LOT to learn.
Then Ayoob talks about defending yourself against mob violence, there’s still more to learn.
Next, Hackathorn and Bill Wilson talk about doing ugly things to your guns.
Finally, there’s something I didn’t know about: the Wedge Grip. I can’t wait to get to the range to try it out.
Enjoy.
