The Awesome Goes to Eleven

What started out as an April Fool’s Day posting by 5.11 has gone live. You can place an order for the Tactical Duty Kilt, or TDK, from the 5.11 website, for delivery by September 1.

I have a friend who offered to make me one, so I may have one before then.

FTC disclaimer: I just thought this was awesome, I get no consideration from 5.11.

Happy Communist Workers Holiday

May 1 has traditionally been observed by socialists and communists the world over as their labor day.

I read some really good posts today about it, so rather than try to add my own, I offer the following.

From Borepatch

From Thirdpower at Days of Our Trailers

From Robert at My Tumultuous Adventure

Now, you hippies get back to work.

Ruger 10/22 Original Review

A discussion on Twitter last night about the best .22LR guns of all time poked my memory, so I did a little search this morning, and ran across this review of the Ruger 10/22 that appeared in the September 1964 issue of American Rifleman.

It’s interesting to me that there’s nothing in the review that surprised me, or, for that matter, was different from what you would expect from a modern review of a 10/22 coming off the line today.
