Had a listener reach out with a question. He was told something goofy at his local gunstore and wanted to confirm or disprove what he was hearing. I appreciate him doing that since it gives me a chance to share it with you.

Episode 291 of the John1911 podcast is now live. This episode is going to be a shade different than our normal ones. This is becuase I am pleased to announce the first appearance of John1911.com contributor, The Kraken. Or just Kraken to the rest of us. 

Initially this was just going to be a sound and recording test, but I figured it went so well, just go ahead and publish it. We discuss everything from the National Farm Machiney Show, to old Smith semi-autos, to Kraken's reloading setup to my weird desire to purchase a 40 caliber, single stack, 1911. In red. 

 

Yes, you read that last sentence right.

This is the second installment of the stories with Doc while driving back from the range. The sound isn't prefect since we are riding in my truck. But hopefully it's not terribly distracting.

What is the best manual of arms? My advice is to master "one kind" first, and only then revaluate and grow from there. Only than can you decide for yourself what works good, better and best.

Ep145 of the John1911 Podcast is gong to be a little different. Last week I had the chance to attend a John "Shrek" McFee / Sheriff of Baghdad 100 yard carbine course. 

Should be pretty straight forward, right?

Well…not so fast. Without getting too deep in the woods, let's just say I wasn't really prepared to shoot to the same accuracy standard McFee  requires. 

But I learned a lot and will me making necessary training and equipment changes to my rifle to leverage my strengths going forward. 

 

Sincerely,

Marky
