About This Blog

The right to keep and bear arms, occasional attempts at satire, frequent recourse to sarcasm, and anything else I can think of. Oh yeah, and pipe smoking. Sometimes H.P. Lovecraft. And obscure Monty Python references when applicable.

I have owned three SP 101 revolvers.

My 2" with the Hogue Monogrip and Wolff spring kit is my favorite handgun. With thousands and thousands of rounds run through it, it is as smooth as glass and really shoots well.

For day-to-day carry, though, I pack an Airlite S&W 2" in .357 stoked with 110 grain Hydra Shoks. That's the ultra lightweight J frame with the titanium cylinder and scanadium frame.

I acknowledge it is not pleasant to shoot. But it is so light and easy to carry that it is a constant companion. I shoot it several times a year, just so I'll know what to expect.

The sight picture is the same for both snubs, so I can practice with the Ruger and carry the Smith.

I have carried a variety of guns on a regular basis in the past, from the Colt Combat Commander down to the Walther PPK. If I could own only a single gun it would be the Ruger SP 101. Since I don't have that restriction, I'll shoot the Ruger and pack the Smith.

Keep your powder dry.

In Search of the Second Amendment

The TRUE story of the American right to arms is told by some of the greatest names in American constitutional law -- professors at Yale, UCLA, Fordham, George Washington University, George Mason University, and other institutions, as well as by lifelong scholars of the Second Amendment, such as Steve Halbrook, Dave Kopel, and Don Kates.
