Waiting Again — S&W 442 .38 Caliber Revolver

The 10-day countdown is underway. This nice little revolver is lightweight, cute and will be my new best friend as soon as I take possession. I hate California gun laws. I passed their silly test twice before. I want my new toy. It’s paid for, I should have it NOW!

Government Motors Buys Volt World Series Ad

They might as well buy time on a NASCAR event. What a waste of taxpayer funds . . .

From Planet Gore:

Peanuts, Cracker Jacks . . . and Elitist Green Transportation?

volt.jpgBy Henry Payne

Detroit – Underscoring the perils of government ownership, GM will launch the new electric plug-in Chevy Volt with an ad buy during this month’s World Series.

That is, in the middle of the American pasttime’s premier event, Government Motors will use taxpayer money to buy premium ad time to pitch a money-losing, taxpayer-subsidized, Washington-approved, green automobile to America’s upper-class green snobs.

Rather than applause for good ol’ American know-how that GM anticipates, the public might well see the Volt as a symbol of government excess, more a federal-spending flop rather than the rebirth of a “high-tech” GM.

The ad buy may also endanger the Chevy brand. While the spots will trumpet Chevrolet’s 100-year heritage and a place in American culture next to baseball, that place is occupied by middle-American Chevy buyers. The Volt is priced for the BMW class and its elite tastes.

Will such consumers want a Chevy?

I hereby resolve to go out and buy the biggest Ford Truck or SUV with a 5.8 liter V8.

Cleaning the Hawg

cleanup.jpgWe went shooting today. Since we have been arranging for our new Arizona home, we have been remiss in going to the range. When we came home, it was time to get out the gun cleaning toolbox and scrub off all the crud.

I took this picture of my Warthog after I got her all cleaned up. The .38 special rounds are for my other gun. Click on the image to enlarge.

We shot our .38 special S&W 442, our .357 magnum S&W 686, our .45 ACP Glock 30, this gun and our Remington 870 12 gauge security shotgun. We were a little out of practice but we both felt better about shooting.

We had a lot of fun but today was our last trip to Sharpshooter.

Packing Light

SW442When I’m puttering around the house and yard, I have this little ensemble clipped inside my waistband. It’s my little S&W 442 .38 caliber J-frame (loaded with plus-P anti-personnel* rounds) in a Bianchi leather clip-on holster.

When the weather is a little warmer, she rides in a special holster on my leg under the sun dress. Either way, she is light enough that you just might forget you’re packing and venture somewhere you shouldn’t under such circumstances – not that I’ve ever done that, of course.

* One of our commenters described hollow-points as “limited penetration” rounds. He says that description is less apt to get a reaction from liberals than “anti-personnel.”

My Nice Little J-Frame

This is my little personal protection revolver. She’s a Smith and Wesson 442 .38 special J-frame revolver. The rosewood grips were added after I got the gun. I placed the five rounds of Speer Gold-Dot .38+P around the trigger guard to take this gun-pr0n image. Click image to enlarge.

The Girl Guns

These are three of Damsel’s handguns, which she calls ‘the girls’ – the fourth ‘girl gun,’ which was on her hip at the time she took this photo, is her S&W 442 .38 special. On the left is the S&W 908s 9mm, above is the Warthog .45ACP and below is the S&W 686 .357 revolver. All of them are about to be cleaned up, so some of the ‘range residue’ is still visible. You better believe she makes ’em sparkle when she’s done, though.

Range Report

This week we took the following firearms to the range: Para Warthog (.45 ACP), S&W 908 (9mm), S&W 442 (.38 SPL), and the Glocks – G26 (9mm) and G30 (.45 ACP). We also brought Remington 870 shotguns – a 20 gauge ‘youth model’ and a 7-shot ‘security gun.’

This was the day for misfeeds, I guess. The Para, which had been working mostly flawlessly the last several outings, suddenly had numerous misfeeds. Nothing serious and a little lube fixed it for the most part. It happened using the same ammo and under all the same conditions as before. The biggest peculiarity today was the Glock 30 had a misfeed. Move your cursor over the image above to see the Glock 30 with a round stuck halfway into the chamber.

We had a pretty busy day today. We wanted to get our target practice session in before coming home to enjoy the Superbowl festivities. After shooting, we religiously clean up the firearms and get everything ready for the next shootout. In addition to the fun chores, the lawn needed to be mowed. But, we managed to get everything done and were ready to sit down and enjoy the big game.

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers on their Superbowl XLIII victory.
