I have a few choice "single-word reminders" too, especially during Finals.

For example:
1. [redacted]
2. [redacted]
3. [redacted] you!
4. Son-of-a-[redacted]
5. Mother [redacted]-er . . .

That's what ear-pro is for . . . .

Re: Hearing Protection and Recommendations for 10M

I just use foam ear plugs . . . Stick with actual ear plugs designed to block sound. Surefire Defenders. Have "filters" blocks the pop, but you can still hear instructions during Final. Made of medical-grade polymer = better fit & function than foam. Amazon LINK: https://www.amazon.co...

Re: Carl Stiegele, Junior, Break open Pistol

If it was autographed by "John Wilks Booth" you could sell it for a bundle. Plus, pre-1898 - no FFL required!

Probably won't see this at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

No adjustments at all. None. Ten weeks into brand new pistol. Pirate's new, broken 200 going back t...

MORINI MELTDOWN = Don't buy 200EI for ANY Reason

MORINI MELTDOWN = Don't buy 200EI for ANY Reason. Just WASTED an entire travel itinerary for the FABULOUS MORINI 200EI to take a Swiss-shit six minutes into the sight-in period at CMP-South Match. EXACT same problem as Pirate's 200EI - which each pistol was obtained from completely different source...
