Found over at SayUncle.
I especially like the philosophical comment from Weer’d Beard:
So now the question to ask: Are AK Mags Rainbow shaped, or rainbows AK mag Shaped???

Holster Peeve
For the last few years, I’ve seen these holsters advertised in the discount catalogs – a strong side holster with a built-in magazine pouch. Something has always bothered me about these kinds of holsters, and my wife is tired of hearing me talk about it, so I’ll give it away here.
Say I’m using my gun drawn from this holster, and I need to change magazines. But the holster is on my strong side, so I have to move the gun to my weak hand, draw the holster, then either change magazines left handed and then move the gun back to the strong hand, or move the gun and change magazines.
All that extra gun handling, under stress, seems like a great way to drop the gun.
On first glance, it looks like a great way to carry a spare magazine. But for me, that’s way too much to have to learn to make this holster (or kinds like it) a good idea for me. I prefer to just carry a spare magazine in my left rear pocket.

If anyone has experience with these kinds of holsters, good or bad, please let me know in the comments.

There, I’m done.
Mark Your Calendar – June 9
The inaugural National Take Your Daughter to the Range Day is June 9, 2012.
From the website:
Boys learn to shoot in Scouts, or with their Dads. Often the girls are left behind, because shooting isn’t ‘girly.’ Well, we can, and do, shoot, and well! Learning to shoot gives young women confidence, helps to build self-esteem, and introduces them to a sport they can participate in their whole lives.
This event will promote firearms safety and education, as well as family participation in an exciting and fun sport.
Check the website for participating ranges in your area. If you don’t see one near you, contact your local range and get them to participate.
I will be there with my daughter!
H/T Julie Golob and AmmoLand.com for putting me onto this!
It’s a Major Award
No, not that one.
This is a little behind the times, but Dann in Ohio, over at the blog God, Gals, Guns, and Grub has presented me with an award.
I am truly thankful, and I will pass it along.
There are rules to this:
1. Copy and paste award on your blog
2. Link back to the blogger who gave you the award
3. Pick your five favorite blogs with less than 200 followers and leave a comment on their blog to let them know they have received an award
4. Hope that the five blogs chosen will keep spreading the love and pass it on to five more blogs.
The difficult part is finding blogs with less than 200 followers. Most are much more popular than my blog.
The other difficult part was finding 5 to single out. In all honesty, I regularly read all the blogs in the lists on the right. Really. And I find a lot of good stuff in all of them.
But after some rumination, here are the blogs I chose to pass along kudos . . .
1. Disabled and Shooting. Pimpley Bum is a former Canadian warrior who writes about shooting and life. I admire his honesty and fortitude. Keep at it, sir.
2. Empty Mags. JP also wrote a blog called Eyes Never Closed for a long time, and now he runs this blog, along with a podcast of the same name.
3. Guffaw in AZ. He writes a blog much like mine, sort of stream of consciousness, only a lot better.
4. An NC Gun Blog. I’ve met, and shot with, and trained with, Sean Sorrentino. When you meet Sean, you will notice he wears a name tag with his real name and blog title. He’s totally transparent in his zeal to protect both the Second Amendment, and innocent victims. He sells shirts, too. Getcha one.
5. By Other Means. Odysseus presents a balanced blog of shooting and other topics. Lots of other topics.
Give these fine folks a visit.
