Every year around Christmas TFB and other gun related websites put up posts about "What to buy for the gun enthusiast in your life." As if the target audience of that post would ever be on a gun website to begin with. Plus if you're gonna send her a link for "ideas" on what to … Continue reading Christmas Shopping For the Woman in your Life (yeah right)

Red Menace’s Reading Room: 2024 Audiobook Recap
Well, another year in the books (get it? Get it?), listened to almost the same number of books as last year, and stayed well ahead of my “one book per week” goal.

The Ultimate Hi Power?
In my opinion, new production versions of classic cars are just about the coolest thing on four wheels. Classic looks with modern technology are a powerful combination.

Seriously, if you have any questions about the IWB version go watch Sage Dynamics' or Caleb Giddings videos on it.

One of the lesser known fronts of combat in World War Two is the Arctic convoy run from the UK to Russia. From 1941 through to almost the end of the war, Allied ships sailed some of the most inhospitable waters on the planet to keep the Soviets equipped with American made planes, tanks, trucks … Continue reading Red Menace’s Reading Room: HMS Ulysses
