End Of Week Memes!

Hey, Look!

"One stretch of dominance that was nearly as total, if somewhere in between New England’s in the AFC East and Rome’s in Europe and the Mediterranean littoral, was that of the medium-frame, double-action revolver, which reigned supreme in the United States for something like a century.

If we define the Age of the Medium-Frame Revolver as running from the first adoption of Colt’s Model 1889 by the U.S. Military to the abandonment of the Smith & Wesson Model 65 and Ruger Service-Six by the NYPD in favor of semi-automatic pistols, that’s a solid 105 years of duty."

"My Baby Said Beep Boop"

Apparently there's a surge of AI songwriting cresting in Nashville.

I should have guessed when the local country music station played the latest hits "She Put Cat5 Tow Chains On My Heart" and "My Chatbot Girlfriend Dumped Me For My Cybertruck"...

Gratuitous Gun Pr0n #261...

Nightstand photo from the other week when I was visiting a friend's place. It's a P320 X-Carry with a Grayguns/Boresight Solutions X-Compact grip module in an older Grayguns PHLster Classic IWB. 

(Plus the Pom spray and waved Spyderco Dragonfly, of course.)

Ow.

I don't know if I slept in an odd position or what, but I just rolled out of bed and I feel like I've been beaten all over with a sock full of nickels.

I hope this isn't one of those things that just starts becoming more common with the passage of time.

Monday Meme-ing!

Always watch the hands.

This is the kernel of a future post, but as I was binge-watching episodes of Person of Interest and thinking how much better the general gun-handling was in Hollywood action dramas from about the mid-1990s onward, there's one thing that still stands out.

Actors are much better coached in stance and movement and the general gross body movements with a firearm in their hand, but they never seem to really know that to do with their support hand on the pistol. Sometimes it's a glaring teacup Weaver, but most of the time the support hand is just sort of along for the ride.

As y'all know, if you can get both hands on the gun, it's the support hand that does most of the grip work.

What a difference a day makes...

When I checked the forecast in the middle of the week, today was predicted to be cold, with maybe a chance of freezing rain or even snow flurries.

Yesterday afternoon I looked at the same forecast and now there's a winter storm warning in effect, calling for 4-8" of accumulating snow.

Since it hasn't been above freezing for about a day and a half, whatever falls is going to stick.
