    ai customer service is worthless

    For a good time with AI support, try to cancel a trial commercial ChatGPT account prior to the first auto renewal.

    Curious about carrying a handgun in your life & don't know where to start... try here-

    I have had at least a dozen J-frame Smiths through the years. I even had a pair of the 9mm revolvers that used moon clips. Alas, like a dumb ass I sold them all before the prices went wonky. Now I have nothing but semi-autos and I don't miss revolvers at all.

    I also find myself praying for discernment. Not because of AI, because I frequent Sniperhide. ;)

    Navy Admiral, Alvin Holsey, said I'm out of here.

    Holsey must have a short memory. Trump wanted to take a shot (pun intended) at Venezuela during his first term. Why did Holsey take the job in the first place knowing Trump's position?

    CZ Firearms is helping the Canadian Liberal Party confiscate firearms from legal owners

    So let me get this straight. Colt Canada is in the loop to destroy existing dealer inventory that is surrendered by the dealer, but will not destroy any guns that are confiscated by the Canadian government. Is that correct?

    Depends on the res. Some start at $30k for monster bulls. Then there is the premium cost for one that size. Expect to spend $50k for one over 400 points gross.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

    I bought a new Vortex Defender enclosed emitter last week. Flickering dot, on again off again, dead, in about 40 rounds. Returned it to store for a full refund. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

    More lies revealed. Oil didn’t come from Dino bones 42 miles deep

    There is a reason why the "abiogenic petroleum hypothesis" is not widely accepted by the scientific community. My brother in law has written several books about oil and gas. If oil is abiogenic, why is it full of bio markers?

    SOLD New CZ 75 P-01 9mm $500

    You must be following my business model. By high, sell cheap. That's way below wholesale.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

    I have literally shot many 10's of thousands of rounds through dot equipped handguns during my USPSA career in Open Division, and in Limited Optics Division. I am also a Limited Division (iron sight) Grandmaster. At 70 years old my vision is really jacked up, astigmatism, prisms in my glasses to...

    The one (gun) that got away

    I let one get away, but no regrets. When I was a senior in college (1973) a friend of mine inherited a gun collection from his father. He asked me if I wanted to buy a NIB Browning Hi-Power 9mm that he had for sale for $95.00. At that time a new T-Series was around $125.00 (if I recall...

    I just watched a friend of mine (77 yo with cancer) go through the process of "actively dying". I found nothing particularly funny-awesome about that shit. I guess I am just too soft for the hide.

    Moved to Florida over 30-years ago. Never seen Anything Like this. 5-beach homes collapsed today in the Carolinas.

    I live in Shoshoni, WY and I must say your cousin's video is the best explanation of the geology of the Wind River Canyon that I have seen.

    Not everybody. I chuckled when he said something to the effect that if you want a beard you can join special forces.
