In this episode I talk about some guns on my "to get list" that are either impractical, unrealistic or unobtainable - some some combination of. Some bourbon fell out of the bottle and into my mouth before I recorded, and I left some of my flubs in, because I have bourbon and I don't care.

Congrats!

In this episode I mostly just ramble about stuff thats on my mind and in my hands. I introduce a new segment to the show, talk a little bit about the riots in England and the importance of protecting our rights, and about my Ruger SP101. There are some sound issues with this, at one point I fade out because I thought I heard my car alarm so I stood up to look through the window and see if I had to cut someone, and then the neighbors were banging on the walls and I couldn't leave my wanderin' fingers off my SP101 and kept rotating the cylinder. I'll get better about background noise, I promise! There is also a contest to win one History Channel branded Ogio Messenger bag. The rules are easy, sign into Facebook and like the Empty Mags fan page and the History Channel fan page, and then on the 17th I will announce the winner who will be chosen from fans on the EMP page at random. (If you're already a fan, do nothing, you're already entered to win!)

In this episode I talk about my very favorite AR, and my next build. Also if you have a favorite rifle (AR or AK) or are planning on building or buying one, tell me about it! I might talk about it on a future show. This show was done in haste as I didn't get a chance to record when I normally do, and I am having laptop trouble. Hope you enjoy it anyway!

In this episode I talk a bit about using the .22lr as an aid to supplement your regular training, and I talk a short bit about range bag contents. I also at the last minute decided to add a little review of the Hornady Lock and Load Classic reloading kit.

In this episode I talk with Drew from RangeLog.com. He tells us what the site is used for and how it will benefit any most any type of shooter out there. There are some audio issues with the phone recording that make it hard to understand some of the things I am asking him, but he comes in clear enough, and a couple parts where we slightly go off topic but thats my fault and overall it was a very enjoyable discussion that I think you will enjoy.

In a perfect world, I wouldn't have to remind anyone of this... but in this show I talk about the Four Rules of Gun Safety, and then the SIRT Pistol as a training aid. This was my first attempt using Levelator and I do not like the way it came out. I'm running out of time tonight so I just compiled the MP3 with out levelator for this week. Hopefully I'll get some more time through out the week to look and see why my levelatored file was UP and DOWN and entirely not LEVEL??   Links http://www.romeotangobravo.net/2011/07/next-big-cartridge-762x40wt.html http://onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com/2011/07/2010-year-of-380.html http://www.alphecca.com/?p=663 http://www.ammoland.com/2011/07/11/white-house-oks-multiple-gun-purchase-tracking-to-distract-from-fast-furious/ http://www.bobtuley.com/safety_rules.htm http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=187862&CAT=251 http://nextleveltraining.com/content/nlt%E2%80%99s-dry-fire-training-pistol-overview http://www.gundudes.com/ http://www.gunfightercast.com/wordpress/

In this episode I tell of a situation I found myself in that really opened my eyes to the need to be aware of your surroundings and the people in it. If you've followed my blog you've seen the story before. I dive into a little bit about situational awareness and the different conditions involved. Then I kinda jump into one of those topics thats going to make me enemies: my opinion on Kimber 1911s. This episode brought a couple more audio struggles trying to get rid of the sounds of people partying next door and me refusing to turn off the AC. I also have some static in the recording that I heard in the my last play through before posting and I'm having a hard time getting rid of it.

This is a short show at 17 some minutes but it is a good thing because I had it all recorded and pretty much ready to go and had an epic failure with my laptop and backup disk and lost it all! Lesson learned: back up to the cloud also! You're not missing anything that should be here though. In this episode I talk about shooting with both eyes open versus closing one eye, and sort of fade into talking about cross dominance and how to deal with it. Then I read a lazy review I wrote about theBodyguard .380 pocket pistol. Update: Correction -- in the end of the show I mention Gun Free Zone .com. That is incorrect. It is GunFreeZone.net.   Links mentioned in this show: http://borepatch.blogspot.com/2011/06/range-report-sharps-50-90.html http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/free-and-cheap-ballistics-apps-for-android http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/2011/06/26/#006148 http://mygunculture.com/2011/06/22/operation-fast-and-furious-the-facebook-version/ http://blog.robballen.com/2011/06/22/p4890-of-zombies-and-gun-control.post http://membership.nrahq.org/ http://saf.org/default.asp?p=safdonation Eye Dominance: http://www.archeryweb.com/archery/eyedom.htm ePostal Match: http://www.eyesneverclosed.com/epostal/

In this first show I introduce myself and the idea behind the podcast. I then give my thoughts on building versus buying your first AR rifle. At the very last minute I decided to throw some thoughts in on dry fire practice after a discussion I had with a coworker. This is all really new to me and I am sort of working through learning the software and what different bits of it do so, if any parts of this sound out of whack or hurt your ears, I apologize, I'm a podcasting noob. Please see the right side of this page for my contact information and if you have any suggestions, questions, comments or constructive criticisms please let me know!
