I can hear some of you already, “hey Jack you big jerk, just read those bullet point below, three of em are pistol rounds”.  Simmer down there partner you will find examples of rifles firing all of them below.  And as we will discuss today, they are all in a way “different rounds” when fired from a rifle then when fired from your 4 inch wheel gun. Anyway I have been thinking that we have not done a lot of stuff on guns lately.  If you are new to firearms or new to ballistics and components you may want to … Continue reading →

Today we delve into the misunderstood world of airsoft.  I think airsoft has an unfair and undeserved stigma among many of the “tactically minded” due to the majority of enthusiasts being gamers.  While I have no interest in the game aspects of airsoft I feel even this community is misunderstood and many unfair assumptions are made about them. Today though I will focus on what I call “Airsoft for Practical Training”.  By that I mean real world training that benefits the average civilian that either carries a gun for defense or keeps a gun in their home for the same … Continue reading →

Today I was supposed to have an interview for you but due to a technical problem, that has to be postponed.  As this came up late in the day doing the Thursday show today isn’t really an option either, so you get two just Jack shows this week. I feel this subject is very important and it is why I created the Granddaddy’s gun club recently.  I think too many in this nation who are pro gun rights are in a false sense of security today, seeing only “liberals”, “progressives” and politicians as enemies of the 2nd Amendment. The truth … Continue reading →

With a title like 10 Gun and Ammo Combos you may think of this as a top ten list type of thing.  As in Jack’s top ten guns, it isn’t.  I personally love guns and the science of ballistics.  I love the art of the gun, the design that goes into everything from a tactical AR15, to a lever action design that is more than a century old at this time. No these are guns that in general are simply great guns, have a real role if put to proper use and the caliber or gauge that I feel really … Continue reading →

I grew up with guns.  Got my first BB gun from a grandfather at 7 and was running though the Florida swamps alone with it by 9.  Moved to Pennsylvania at 12 and was turned loose alone with a 22 rifle and a 20 gauge shot gun, only conditions, do nothing stupid and pay for your own ammo with chores. Shot my first deer with a bow that fall, another with a rifle that winter.  I have a 22 I got that Christmas that likely had 100,000 rounds through it before I left for the Army at 17. I learned … Continue reading →
