From the Desk of John Rourke – January 9th, 2017

 

The snow we were supposed to get never showed up. It went to the north of us. Maybe next time.

Mentioned I had an old Casio G-Shock watch with a broken band. I found a band kit on eBay for around $14 and ordered it. Planning on getting a few more G-Shock’s or similar watches for kits – including one to EMP-proof.

Watched Captain America: Civil War for the second time. Excellent movie and if you like action the entire Avengers/Captain America/Iron Man series is first rate. “Civil War” in particular is extremely relevant to current times. Why? The United Nations wish to have oversight and control over the Avengers due to their incredible power. See – it’s the same old “government always knows best”.

There is a split in the Avengers Team as to sign up or not. Conflict ensues – thus….Civil War.

I’ve started my stippling project. Read around on gun forums and people have a love-hate relationship with stippling. After handling a pistol with custom stippled grip the purpose is clear = superior control and retention. Starting with some PMAG’s while I learn.

Something for you…..Another example of why we need to put celebrities and their opinions in perspective. This guy  – although a great actor – does not live in the same world as the rest of us……

    Cannot stand Jackson, try to mute my TV every time he comes on a commercial. I guess it is because I do the same thing when oboma comes on TV. Makes me want to throw up. Add another one of the rich movie stars to this list after last night, Meryl Streep!

    Regarding gun stippling, I have a match gun from Zev Tactical with something like skateboard tape on it and it grips great. However, I have other guns I’d like to modify without that kind of expense. I’m waiting to receive and try a low cost “AGrip” kit from BrooksTactical to see how well it works on a Glock 27.

      I may send off one of my pistols to StippGrips for a custom job. Really impressed with their work and pricing isn’t crazy. It will be quite awhile before I attempt to do anything on my own firearm.

    Celebrities – who needs them, not me. I don’t have any use for them and try not to spend any money to support them. The older I get the less I care!
    I’ve got a couple of casio’s as well. Would like to put back a couple more.
    – Keep Looking UP
