      Walther PP Sport (Queue the Bond Theme)

      Queue the Bond theme ... yes, I know Bond never actually used this model; but, you have to agree it is very Bondesque! I'm a huge Walther Fan Boy and I've had my eye on the PP Sport for many years; but, they were always above the price point I was willing to invest, usually in the $1200 to...

      Wyatt Earp speaks on gunfighting on the frontier

      I enjoyed this and thought it was worth posting. Among other things, it seems Wyatt was a believer in "Slow is smooth; smooth is fast." Wyatt Earp speaks on gunfighting on the frontier Narration by Steve Berwick

      Attention Ladies of INGO: Free Ticket to Basic Pistol Class

      Attention Ladies of INGO: I ended up with an extra ticket to our Revere's Riders Ladies Only Basic Pistol Class. Is anyone interested in an introduction to safe pistol shooting? I'll happily give this ticket to the first person that comments "I'll take it". And if you need a loaner pistol and...

      Ovarian Cancer Fund Raiser - Big Prizes / Lots of Fun

      Greetings Fellow INGOers ... Normally, we keep our posts in the Training area; but, Revere's Riders Marty Brown Memorial Events are more about remembrance and fund raising than they are about training. So, I thought I'd step outside the tread to catch some additional views. Over the last 3...

      Does this sign carry any weight under Indiana Law...

      Question for INGO's legal experts, both the arm chair ones and the real ones: While visiting a loved one in rehab in a skilled care facility, a lawful, licensed individual, that is carrying concealed gets confronted by the sign pictured. There is another sign in the lobby that states 'carry...

      Revere's Riders/ACT Defensive Pistol 145 March 20, 2021: AAR

      Another great Revere's Riders event in the books. Many thanks to John Viray, @obijohn for bringing his Defensive Pistol courses to the Revere's Riders' offerings. The Pistol 145 course is a natural progression from Basic Pistol 100 classes. After a few hours of lecture covering safety on the...

      The CMP Advanced Maintenance Class

      I've been trying to get a spot in the Civilian Marksmanship Program's Advanced Maintenance Class since the Fall of 2016. Although, I was on the waiting list, when the Covid hoax shut the CMP down in March, I figured I would be out of luck again this year. In June, I was notified that I...

      S.69, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

      Recently, I sent an email to both Indiana Senators and my District's Congressman recently expressing my opposition to H.R.5717 - Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act of 2020. I got this response today. I'm glad they are trying to pass reciprocity again; but, I doubt it goes...

      Were could I get a Viking Tactics Wide Padded Quick Adjust Upgrade sling?

      Placed an order for a Viking Tactics Wide Padded Quick Adjust Upgrade sling. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday. It is a no show. Is there a Brick and Mortar option in the Indianapolis area? I need it for an event on Saturday. :(

      Field Grade Winchester M1s available for mail order through the CMP...

      Now that they have sold out of the Service Grade Winchesters, they are offering Field Grade Winchester M1s at $830. As stated before, these rifles have been in service since WWII and likely rebuilt at least once. The odds are pretty good that the only the receiver will be of Winchester...

      Service Grade Winchester M1s available for mail order through the CMP...

      I just noticed on the CMP rifle sales website that Service Grade Winchester M1s available for mail order at $930. If a fella was looking to get a desirable M1 Garand, this would be a great opportunity. I doubt these will last very long, so if you are so inclined, I'd jump on it. Keep in mind...

      Recommendations on a ballistic app for my phone

      So, I had to do a hard reset on my Windows phone which seemed to fix the bugs I was experiencing. The downside is that I have to reload my apps(...among other things :xmad: ). I was using an app called Ballistics. Before I load it again, I thought I'd ask what everyone else uses. I don't need...

      A Great Day at the CMP South Store last Friday

      So, I was on the road all last week on a vacation that started at the NRA convention in Atlanta and was to end at the Spring Talladega race. I was planning on stopping by the CMP South Store, just to see the new store and say "hi" to Mike. I hadn't checked the forum for about a week. Last I had...

      Nambu Type 94

      Here is a new piece I just added to my collection. Although, the Nambu Type 94 has a reputation of being the most poorly designed sidearm in the history of military sidearms. The pistol was more successful than it's reputation would imply. As the Japanese expanded into the Pacific and China...

      "How Not To Goof Up at Camp Perry"

      I got my Winter 2017 issue of the Garand Collector's Journal. Along with several other interesting articles, there is an absolutely awesome and well timed article entitled "How Not To Goof Up at Camp Perry". It couldn't have come at a better time as I am participating in my first Field Rifle...

      The CMP North Store has new inventory

      Rumor has it that the CMP North Store had some new inventory on the racks today. There were about 50 1903A3s and some various special grade M1 rifles today. At $650, I'm not sure how long the 1903A3s will last; but, if it is on your wish list, you might want to plan a trip to Port Clinton, OH...

      M1 newbies help me out...

      If this is out of line, mods...apologies. If so, delete the post. I have purchased a ticket to the Revere's Riders November 12 - 13 Garand weekend. Sadly my GF, Kathy's father passed away last week and I will be taking her to the funeral that weekend. I would like to give my ticket to a...
