That's a good name for a post, eh? I will try to start another weekly installment here by posting 10 or so gun-related links every Saturday. Just starting with all the links I've bookmarked, this should take several weeks. Once I've used all those up, I'll just post whatever new ones I found during the week. These won't necessarily be links that are new to everyone. Most of the links I've bookmarked are not something I consider especially important, but I consider them all to be resources of information one way or the other. So here for the first installment are a few random links, plus some manufacturers links. Also please note that these links are provided for information and I don't automatically endorse any of them--they are just here for your information. If I do have any recommendations to make, I will do so in the comments after the link.

Nagel's Gun Shop -- My favorite gun store. I've done plenty of business with them and don't hesitate to recommend them.
A Place to Shoot -- A range that I occasionally use.
Bullet Hole Shooting Range -- Another range that I sometimes use. They also hold regular CHL classes.
Cruffler.com -- The place to go for information about Curio & Relic firearms.
Remington Country -- Remington's website.
American Derringer -- Texas' own derringer company.
Bond Arms -- Another derringer company.
Cobra Arms -- Maker of derringers, single- and double-action semi-auto pistols.
Winchester -- Website of Winchester firearms.
H&R Firearms -- Website of Harrington & Richardson and New England Firearms. I've long been wondering how cool it would be to get one of their Handi-Rifles in .45-70.

So there are the first ten. If you find any of these useful, or if you have any links that you think I should add to my collection, just drop me a comment.

Note: The linked article is from more than a month ago, but I just learned of this blog, so it's new to me.

I have the .22LR version of the mini-revolver, and I can confirm the unexpected accuracy of these little guns. Many years ago I owned (for a short time) a four-barrel .22 derringer, with which I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. It was also painful just to shoot with anything bigger than a .22 Short--the grips cut into my hands and I had to re-establish my grip after every shot. I eventually took it to another gun store that had a used Single-Six and made a trade.

So, having had a bad experience with a derringer, why did I get one of these mini-revolvers? For some time I had been carrying a Kel-Tec P-32--one of those little .32 ACP pocket rockets. I had carried it for convenience and comfort, with a small pocket sheath it was something that I occasionally forgot I even had on me. Later I came to be so comfortable carrying a Ruger SP-101 in an IWB holster that I decided I had no use for the Kel-Tec anymore. I checked out some prices and figured I could probably get away with a straight-across trade--no cash involved--for one these mini-revolvers. One impractical gun for another, except the little revolver is just way more cool.

It is much more comfortable to shoot than the old derringer was, and is amazingly accurate for such a tiny gun. Unlike the gun reviewed in the linked article, mine shoots more or less where it's aimed, not 7" low at 7 yards or some such. I think soon I must take it out for some serious target-punching and see what it can do, and post an update.

I do sometimes carry this as a sort of "deep concealment" gun by simply slipping it into a nylon multi-tool sheath and sliding the whole thing in my pocket. Most of the time, however, it's just a fun plinker. It is also quite potent against snakes, if loaded with CCI Shotshells and the snake is near enough to actually be a threat to you.

Concord Arms has just been added to the blogroll. Comments on concealed carry plus ammo & gun reviews. Check it out.

tnx to Freedom Sight

This is improper use of a firearm, folks. A .380 just isn't enough for a Chrysler of any variety. This is a job for a .45, at least.

I remember when these "odd" news stories usually had an element of humor involved, but never a tale of sheer horror. What are they thinking? This isn't odd. It isn't even close. This is just the witch hunt arising again:

"He blasphemed!"

"How do we know he blasphemed?"

"Because I saw it! And besides, he floats!"

Bang.

It isn't odd, it's disgusting.
