All Dirty Harry, All The Time

By Aaron Spuler | February 7, 2012 |

I mentioned yesterday how the Dirty Harry movies caused the .44 Magnum revolver to become more popular. Suddenly this extremely expensive, extremely large, difficult gun was cool. If you are a fan, then you should check out this website. Besides basic info about the franchise, odd facts and trivia can be ferreted out. I had…

Training Gun???

By Aaron Spuler | February 7, 2012 | Comments Off on Training Gun???

Have you, or are you looking at .22 caliber pistols for training? With the cost of ammo these days, and the crowds at the more popular ranges, we have less ‘time’ to adequately train ourselves or maintain currency with our carry pistols.

Science Fiction Homes In

By Aaron Spuler | February 1, 2012 | Comments Off on Science Fiction Homes In

A big budget science fiction movie named Runaway (1984) made an impact on me at the time. It wasn’t the pedestrian acting, the sub-par special effects, or the preposterous plot. Instead it was the gun the villain used to shoot it out with the protagonists. A one of a kind firearm created by a greed…
