The ugliest gun

Oct17

I first saw this gun on The Firearm Blog, and my immediate thought was: “My stars and garters, that is one butt-ugly gun.” We drove out to CTD the week I drew this, so I could handle the thing. (OK, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Customers #1

Some of the “Customers” strips will be from things I’ve witnessed at gun shops. Some will be from stories told to me by friends who work in gun shops. Some will be my own experiences in retail, transcribed to the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Getaway

What, you thought she was going to buy a gun, date Mick, and run away happily ever with him? That’s no fun. Come on, I have to keep you coming back. And feeling sorry for this schmuck. The sign in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Firing the .45

Oct12

And now Heidi starts rocking it. I will, on occasion, be using pics of actual targets we’ve shot in the past. Mostly because I take a lot of pics at the range, and some of these are clogging up my […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

As preachy as it sounds, this is something I do agree with Mick on, and stress when teaching people about guns: the word “unloaded” is profanity. Guns exist in two states: Loaded, or disabled. I’ve never gone so far as […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Patterns

This reaction is effectively what a friend of mine had, after the first (and only) time I had her try a 20 gauge. Some people can handle the recoil – some cannot. Find the weapon that works right for you. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Shotgun time

Oct09

When I teach newbies to shoot, I normally start with pistols and rifles. This teaches them that no, pistol and rifle recoil is manageable, even for bigger calibers. It’ll kick a bit, but it’s not like the crap you see […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Two crates for $2k

Oct08
by jlgrant on October 8, 2012 at 1:00 am

Plot! Yes, more plot! Who is this freak with the bald head? What does he do? All this and more, soon… So. Haven’t gone shooting in a month, and I’m itchy – especially now that I fixed the firing pin […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Dat Recoil

Oct05
by jlgrant on October 5, 2012 at 1:00 am

It’s true. It’s very, very true. Ten thousand Youtube videos back me up on this one, in slow motion. Remember: It’s only sexist if you say it out loud. Just in time for Xmas, Liz Dean launches Seams Geeky! Check […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Teacupping

Oct04
by jlgrant on October 4, 2012 at 1:00 am

Every time I take a new shooter out, I have to correct them on at least one bad habit they’ve picked up from movies and TV. This one is the most common, followed by keeping their finger on the trigger. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
