Trijicon has released a 3.25 MOA Green Dot variant of the RMR Type 2 Adjustable LED reflex sight. The Trijicon RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) is well known on the market, but until now it hasn’t been available with a green dot of this small size. Manufactured in the USA, the RMR Type 2 is constructed from forged 7075-T6 aluminum to MIL-spec standards. It has been tested in extreme conditions by U.S. Special Operations, law enforcement, and hunters.

Seen in the neighborhood

Something is different.

Charging Decisions

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2025-09-16T13:56:00Z

 The prosecutors in the murder of Charlie Kirk have some decisions to make, and we'll learn more about that this week.  The state charges should be pretty straightforward.  Capital murder under the Utah statute, for sure.

The federal charges will be a bit more complicated.  If I were a federal prosecutor, I'd be looking toward charges stemming from civil rights violations.  Charlie certainly had a right to be where he was, doing what he was doing.  If my memory serves, civil rights charges carry pretty stiff penalties, and they avoid the problem with double jeopardy.

Regardless, it will be interesting to see the decisions made at both the state and federal levels.  This investigation is just getting started.  They have to be careful that it doesn't take on the aspects of a witch-hunt as they delve into the online activity.  Separating the signal from the noise will be crucial.

It will be interesting to see who starts ducking for cover.

Automotif DXCIV...

WOMEN’S ARMED DEFENSE

by Mas in on 2025-09-16T13:00:00Z

You’d think that when a woman uses deadly force against a violently attacking man, society would be sympathetic. Not necessarily. I recently finished the eminently readable 2023 book The Furies: Women, Vengeance, and Justice by Elizabeth Flock.  She writes, “In her seminal 1989 book, Justifiable Homicide, women’s rights advocate Cynthia Gillespie argued that, as a result of its origins, […]


In August of 2025, the adjusted National Instant background Check System (NICS), as computed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) showed approximate firearm sales of a bit over a million, down about 10% from sales in August of 2024. NICS checks, which can be used for other things besides firearm sales, dropped more than 19%.  In the last twelve months, only September of 2024 and January of 2025 showed more adjusted checks than the month from a year earlier. Both months showed only a small increase.

Except for January of 2025, where President Trump did not take office until the 20th of January, all of the months in the second Trump administration show fewer adjusted NICS background checks than the month from a year previous. This may be considered a "Trump Slump".

Looking at August in the years in which President Trump has been in office, the total adjusted NICS checks for the yeara are quite similar, except for 2020. 2020 was a presidential election year in which all stops were taken out in order to prevent a second term for President Trump.  This raised the fear level of a Biden presidency and incentivized more people to purchase firearms. President Trump has openly courted gun owners and Second Amendment advocates.

 

 


The fear of a Biden administration was justified, but it was tempered by the courts. The Biden administration's war on the Second Amendment kept sales above Trumpian levels in 2021 and 2022. They dipped in 2023 and recovered a bit in 2024.

The number of people who are interested in owning firearms and those who advocate for a restoration of Second Amendment rights varies somewhat with time.  Of that number, those who support President Trump likely outnumber those who support the Democratic part by three to one or more.  Now that President Trump is in power and actively working to restore Second Amendment rights, gun sales are dropping by measurable amounts. Those who support President Trump have already purchased firearms, or feel less incentive to purchase them than they did during the Biden administration.

A 10% drop in sales may not seem like a large amount. It can make a serious difference in being able to survive in a highly competitive industry such as gun manufacturing.  There are many companies which make AR15 type firearms. Nearly all of those companies make a serviceable firearm, from basic models to top of the line, expensive models which cost 5-10 times what a basic model does.

In any large number of companies, some are managed very well and some are not managed as well as others. Some simply have bad luck. When business drops off, the market will eliminate those who are most vulnerable, whether because of mismanagement or bad luck.

This correspondent expects firearm prices to gradually drop, with numerous sales to adjust inventories to lower levels.

Long term prospects look good. It is likely both suppressors/silencers and short barreled rifles and shotguns will be removed from the reach of the National Firearms Act (NFA). If that happens, there will be renewed interest in models with threaded barrels, short barreled rifles and shotguns, and firearms with integral suppressors.  The current situation, where the $200 tax has been removed from silencers/suppressors and short barreled rifles and shotguns, should stimulate some sales. The tax reduction goes into effect on 1 January, 2026.

JIT Training for Trusted Friends, Family, and Neighbors, by Dr. Bob

This article will provide some thoughts on how to address a few common problems seen in the preparedness community. The first problem involves the difficulty finding like-minded people to form a community before the Stuff Hits The Fan (SHTF). The second problem is how to engage friends, family, and neighbors so that they take actions to prepare their families prior to SHTF. These problems are related and center on the realization that many people are bound by their current life circumstances and are unwilling or unable to consider that the current paradigm is in danger and, secondly, many of those …

Big Pharma and Puberty Blockers

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-09-15T23:43:00Z

9/14/25 The Forgotten Side of Medicine tells how a drug originally authorized by FDA to alleviate the extreme suffering of terminal prostate cancer (where its severe side-effects were tiny compared to what was coming) was repositioned as a chemical castration for pedophiles then as a puberty blocker for transconfused kids.

"This proliferation was due to manufacturers pricing the drugs to generate enormous profits for themselves and doctors (in many cases constituting most of urology practices’ revenues)—likely why most urologists, when surveyed, admitted prescribing Lupron despite not believing it worked.

'•These drugs rapidly age the body, causing permanent and crippling side effects, including severe bone loss, pain, soft tissue damage, severe pain hormonal disruption, sexual dysfunction, psychiatric issues, cognitive impairment, cancer risks, and cardiovascular and gastrointestinal disorders."

I am generally skeptical of any claim involving Big Pharma because it usually appeals to conspiracy buffs who insist there's a cheap, one pill cure for cancer.  (If there was, do you think United Healthcare would not have broken this loose to save billions of dollars a year?)

After watching a doctor speak at a Tennessee hospital about how trans/treatment was a big moneymaker, i can believe all sorts of evil in the medical industry.   My own experience has been overwhelming positive.


POTD: Schmeisser’s AR15-9 Dynamic PCC

by Eric B in The Firearm Blog on 2025-09-15T23:30:00Z

Photo Of The Day: Developed in collaboration with several experienced IPSC, IDPA, and Steel Challenge shooters, the Schmeisser Dynamic PCC is a competition-ready firearm that comes fully equipped straight out of the box, matching the performance of custom-built PCCs. It features the Schmeisser NoRec Match Compensator, which nearly eliminates barrel movement, and the Schmeisser Lite Handguard for optimal handling and control. The TriggerTech Match Trigger, with its straight design, delivers a crisp break and an ultra-short reset for rapid, precise shots. This trigger is highly recommended, as I use the same.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world, its many guns, shooting sports, and gear, as well as reviews on virtually anything and everything related to rimfire shooting. This week, I’m happy to announce that we’ll be getting back to some more firearm reviews, specifically with the help of the guys from Henry Repeating Arms. In the last couple of months, I’ve been using a variety of their rifles for most of our ammunition tests, and I’ve also been able to put some of their most common models through a lot of testing. One of the most well-loved Henry lever-action rimfire series of rifles is undoubtedly the Golden Boy Rifle . Today, we’ll take a closer look at this rifle, what it offers, and why shooters love it so much.

In a revolver market filled with traditional designs, the Chiappa Rhino 30DS X Stainless Steel stands out as a bold innovation. Crafted for shooters who value precision, recoil control, and cutting-edge engineering, this firearm is described as more than Chiappa’s flagship, as a new standard for performance. The Rhino’s defining feature is its low-bore axis, aligning the barrel with the cylinder’s bottom chamber to drastically reduce muzzle flip and felt recoil. This design delivers an intuitive shooting experience, especially in its 3-inch snub-nose configuration, making it ideal for concealed carry, range use, or collectors seeking something unique.

Things You Never Know

by Unknown in Home on the Range on 2025-09-15T15:54:00Z


It's been 17 years since I started this blog.  I don't have the time to post as I used to when I was single and didn't have an old Bungalow to restore with my Partner in Grime, but I do enjoy sharing my thoughts with those of you who still show up to have a cup of coffee and say hello. A few of you I've known most of my adult life, both on and off social media, and a few I have never met.  But for those of you who haven't known me my whole life, some things you probably DON'T know about me.

1. I once got sent to the principal's office for reading a copy of Road and Track behind my history book.

2. I started taking college classes at age 14. It was the free-wheeling '70s, but the reason I was the only girl on the local campus not wearing a bra was that, sadly, I was the only one who didn't need one. 

3. I HATE tomatoes in their cold, seedy, alien, larval life form state.

4. I will do aerobatics in a plane all afternoon, but I am afraid of the escalator at O'Hare if I have a roller bag.

5. I was jogging in the park when I realized I was in the middle of some college running event. Up ahead, the tape for the finish line. What could I do? I picked up my pace, ran through the tape, arms raised, shouting. "I won! I won! and kept going.

6. In 4th grade, Mom bought me the world's ugliest and sturdiest shoes. Money was tight in our house but I hated them. I beat them with a hammer, dragged them behind my bike for miles, and smeared peanut butter on them so the dog would play with them. After a month, they looked suitably worn out. Mom dragged me to J.C. Penny to complain about the quality and got a replacement pair, EXACTLY the SAME.

7. I would rather watch old episodes of Top Gear than ANY show involving shoes or fashion.


8. I used my first four-letter word... loudly, on the pastor from the Lutheran Church. I used it a few more times before I hung up my wings.

9. I can choreograph an autopsy without blinking, but went full "tears and waving arms" on PA State Cop once, when Abby Lab got a hold of HALF a dead bunny when he and I were walking my property, and she would NOT drop it.

10. I can play 3 instruments. I can't whistle to save my life.

11. I took ballet for 14 years and can still go "en pointe" in the right shoes. Once.

12. Without strong, hot Scottish tea in the morning, I have the decision-making abilities of a squirrel crossing the road.

13. When I got married, I wore the whole Princess Bride outfit. My garter, however, was leather and contained Ninja throwing knives.

14. While on a "quick turn" on the ramp at SFO airport, I used the lavatory on our airliner, which had a window. Used to only being in it at 30,000 feet, I didn't close the shade and mooned half a dozen Samoan bag handlers.

15. I have never watched "The Bachelor/Bachelorette/", "Sex in the City", or any of the "RealHousewives" shows. I can quote way too much of Red Dwarf.

Rimmer: "Step up to Red Alert."

Kryten: "Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb".


16. I gave up alcohol years ago, but I have a 2-pound bag of Tootsie Pops hidden in my desk drawer.

17. Biologically, I'm a direct descendant of Walter Woodworth, one of the original colonists/settlers of the United States.  That, along with my driver's license showing my age, will get me a free coffee at Chick-fil-A.

18. I am type-rated (qualified and experienced as a Captain) on 7 different transport jets.  I don't own a SmartPhone.

19. I will not eat shellfish, but once ate a roasted tarantula (tasted like chicken).

20. I'm half Ashkenazi Jew (bio father).

21. I modeled professionally in college for a skiwear company. I have never skied in my life.

Ballast Bypass

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2025-09-15T14:20:00Z

 When our hose was built at the turn of the century, it came with a number of florescent lights.  In the kitchen, washroom and garage.

I don't know if that light in the washroom has ever been turned off.  Saturday, it started flickering and I decided to do a ballast bypass and install LED lights.  I found the breaker, turned it off, then climbed up on a ladder.  After watching this video.  If you are not afraid of basic wiring, it is easy.  A set of diagonals, a good wire stripper and a couple of wire nuts.  You are done.

One trick I learned when doing the wiring is to mark the end with the blue and red wires with a Sharpie marker.  A simple L on that end of the fixture.  Your LED tubes will be marked with an L on one end and an N on the other.  I'm told it makes a difference, so I plug the L end of the tube into the socket marked L.

Easy-Peasy, about an hour, including the trip to the electrical store.  It's a nice upgrade and I didn't have to change the fixture.

Tab Clearing...

by Tam in View From The Porch on 2025-09-15T12:08:00Z

I picked up a five-pack of the El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco about four weeks ago. Since then, I’ve often caught myself eyeing them in the humidor, tempted to light one up. But I try to give new cigars — especially those that arrive by mail — at least a month, preferably longer, to settle in before smoking. Exactly four weeks to the day, I gave in to temptation and lit one up on a cool evening.

El Pulpo — Spanish for “the octopus” — is the result of a collaboration between Artesano del Tobacco and AJ Fernandez, released in 2023. It wears a dark, oily Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers grown on AJ Fernandez’s farms. The Robusto Grande vitola I chose is a 5 × 56 sharply box-pressed cigar. 



From the first draw, I was enveloped in thick, rolling clouds of smoke — easily one of the smokiest cigars I’ve lit up in some time. Rich flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, and roasted nuts greeted my palate, soon joined by a dark sugar sweetness that struck a beautiful balance between bitter and sweet.

El Pulpo delivers a full-bodied yet remarkably smooth experience, never crossing into harshness. While the burn line wavered slightly at times, it never required correction. Smoke production was both ample and flavorful, providing about 75 minutes of satisfying enjoyment.

To accompany the cigar, I poured a glass of Peerless Small Batch Bourbon. At four years old and bottled at 115.4 proof, it carries some heat but is still a surprisingly approachable pour. Bold notes of caramel, cinnamon, butterscotch, and brown sugar dominate. A few drops of water tame the heat and let the flavors shine — an excellent complement to the richness of the cigar.

By the time I set the nub down, I was already contemplating a box purchase of El Pulpo. The only decision left is whether to stick with the Robustos or spring for the slightly longer 6 × 56 Toro.

Cheers!

The Silent Majority–Silent no longer

by Midwest Chick in Midwest Chick's Place on 2025-09-15T10:30:00Z

Something that has become crystal clear since the assassination of Charlie Kirk is that some people in this world are sick. Whether or not they are redeemable is another thing altogether. The social contract has been broken for so long that some do not understand that celebrating the death of someone, even if you did […]

The Editors’ Quote of the Day:

When a Bill of Rights Was Debated

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-09-15T01:38:00Z

 Those who said it was not needed talked about the risk that we might leave on out and that absence would later be found to be evidence that no such right existed.  One of these clever sorts asked if there was a need for a right to bury our dead?  Before you laugh, England for a couple centuries required that you be buried in wool.  So this 9/13/25 Telegraph article is no surprise:

Labour is plotting to make UK crematoria greener by banning gas cremation ovens and forcing grieving families to choose eco-friendly wicker or bamboo coffins.
New rules for crematoria, drawn up by the UK environment department, are set to be upgraded to meet both new pollution standards and the UK’s commitment to reach the target of net zero by 2050 championed by Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband.
Under the plan, the Government will seek to cut emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, including mercury from dental fillings, and airborne toxins from burning coffin glue and embalming fluid.

The London "Unite the Kingdom" Rally

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-09-15T01:26:00Z

 Even the 9/14/25 Guardian admits it was big:

Between 110,000 and 150,000 were estimated by police to have attended the event. The Met said in an update on Sunday that there were 24 arrests, including for common assault, actual bodily harm, affray and criminal damage.

That many arrests in a crowd of 150,000 people is not terribly high.  That someone got the message shows:

  • The business secretary, Peter Kyle, said the number of people who turned out for the “Unite the Kingdom” protest – organised by the far-right activist Tommy Robinson – shows free speech is “alive and well” in the UK.

  • Kyle added that moments like Saturday’s demonstration were “klaxon calls to us in public life to redouble our efforts to address the big concerns that people right across our country have, and immigration is a big concern.”

That is 0.2% of the United Kingdom's population.  If you think that is not much, remember that to get into notoriously congested London is not a trivial undertaking.  That would be equivalent to 660,000 Americans going to DC.  The only question is whether Labour will do anything or just look for more ways to suppress dissent.

Charlie Kirk Meme Roundup

by Midwest Chick in Midwest Chick's Place on 2025-09-14T18:30:00Z

Here are some of the better ones I found. Some are profound. Some are not. Some show the fallout from the hate spewed afterwards.
9/14/25 New York Post:
"A public school teacher has been suspended after allegedly showing a video of Charlie Kirk’s assassination to students as young as 10 in his class, authorities in Canada said.

"The teacher also suggested that Kirk deserved to be killed, and gave the young students a speech about anti-fascism and transgender issues, according to a report."

I saw the video.   Showing to children is utterly unacceptable; ranting in favor is utterly unacceptable. Teacher fired.

The Transgender Slogans on the Bullets...

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-09-14T03:46:00Z

9/13/25 Fox News:
"EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin lived with his transgender partner, senior-level FBI officials told Fox News Digital. 

"Bureau officials confirmed that Tyler Robinson, 22, was in a "romantic relationship" with the unnamed person, who is a male transitioning to a female, and that they shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah.

"Those FBI officials told Fox News Digital that Robinson's partner is fully cooperating with the FBI's investigation."

Context is everything. Watch and listen to this video and think about what the phrase “I couldn’t care less” is referring to. The transcript of the important part is: EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do … Continue reading

I recently posted The Lamps Are Going Out All Over America.  For the two of you (likely including DTWND), the reference was to the beginning of World War I, when the politicians realized that the New World that they had created was basically everyone standing is a room filled with gasoline waving lit matches around.  We know how that turned out.

My post was not inflammatory; it was sad. Nonetheless, reader DTWND left the following comment:

Those of you on the right are really, REALY [sic] hoping that something in the shooter’s background will tie him to the leftist, liberal side of politics. Meanwhile, you’ll continue to deny and obfuscate the truth that this was one of your own. Just like the group that planned to kidnap Michigan’s governor Whitmer; the guy that shot and killed the two Minnesota legislators: the folks that marched in Charlottesville: the shootings at the LGBTQ nightclub in Orlando: the ‘peaceful demonstators’ [sic] at the Capitol on January 6th; etc.

I find it telling that all the former presidents, Democrats and Republican, issued messages of condolence, condemnation of the event, and calls to end political violence, while the current president condemned the violence but also expressed the point that those of the left persuasion need to under scrutiny and should not be trusted.

As Mr Kirk had stated, “Prove me wrong.”
Here is the pertinent part of my original post, and my replied to Mr. DTWND:

Who would have figured 24 years ago that society would be destroyed from within?

[Memes deleted]

If you don't know the people who don't understand that sentence, then they are the ones who you need to not know. 

Not particularly well said, but perfectly understandable.  And so you clearly failed on multiple levels: 

  1. It sure as shootin' looks like the shooter was a leftist freak.  The 72 hour rule applies here, which you either ignored, didn't know, or skated past because you were angry.
  2. It "wasn't one of our own", it was exactly what you'd expect from a rabid Left baying for the blood of conservatives.  See #1, above.  Nicely done, getting two own goals from the same ball, though.
  3. The group that was going to kidnap Governor Crazy Eyes was led by a FBI asset.  Sorry you're so behind on this, but not really surprised.
  4. The rest is IQ-90 level Leftist boilerplate.  Ashley Babbit would reply but could not be reached for comment, as she was shot in the back by a Capitor Hill police officer on January 6.  Some of us are aware on the rules for the use of Deadly Force; you clearly are not, but thought this was a winning argument for "conservative violence".  Dumbass. 
  5. Former Presidents call for the end of political violence?  Gosh, why might this be hard to believe?
     
  6. Most significantly, you (a) did not reply to the content of my original post and (b) chose to try to insult me and hijack my site for your absurd political dogma.

Fine, then - let it be so.  DTWND, go away and don't come back.  We don't need your thoughts polluting this site. You're banned.  Go hang out with your leftie assassins.

Ever Wonder Why the Bay Area is So Strongly Democrat?

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-09-13T22:09:00Z

4/8/25 Realtor.com:
"The West Coast technology center is now home to a staggering 82 billionaires, compared with the Big Apple's 66, according to the fourth annual "2025 World’s Wealthiest Cities Report," which was released by investment consulting firm Henley & Partners in collaboration with global data intelligence firm New World Wealth....
"Additionally, the Bay Area ranked No. 2 in the world for the number of resident millionaires, at 342,400. It also came in second place for the number of centimillionaire residents (those with net worths of $100 million or more) at 756, having enjoyed what researchers at Henley & Partners described as an "exceptional" millionaire growth of 98% over the past decade."

In Ccase you are wondering what life is like for a centimillionaire: $100 million invested in aggressive growth equity funds will let you draw about $10 million per year gross (about $6 million net taxes) with no loss until your grandchildren blow it all trying to corner the market in pork bellies.   (Or silver, if you have the misfortune to have children as dumb as H.L. Hunt.)  

Take no risks.  Invest the $100 million in municipal bonds of your state.   You should have no problem getting $4 million a year in interest income on which you owe no income taxes.

I find the envy that the left promotes really odious but if you have a $100 million invested, you can certainly afford to spend some of it alleviating hunger, providing drug rehab and mental illness care in your city or state.  You have not just enough but enough to do good as well.

Prototyping

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-09-13T20:21:00Z

 The cost of CFC is so high and the inability to undo on cuts is such that I am machining parts from Delrin first.  As an example, there is one piece on the slow motion controller that slides on to either the RA or DEC axis.  It needs a hole in the top where a 6-32 screw holds in place and .2" long slots on the sides to allow for some up and down adjustment to get a tight fit of worm gear to spur gear.  It needs two holes in the bottom to hold threaded inserts into which screws through the base plate will attach.  This results in the following Makefile entries.  I will only make two of these but I want them exact matches.

Questions

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2025-09-13T18:20:00Z

 At our club practice this morning, a member asked me a simple question, "Do you consider the .30-06 to be a high-powered rifle cartridge"?

Short answer, yes, I do.  I consider the .30-06 to be on the low end of "high-powered".  The .30-06 can do a lot of things, and if I had to list all rifle cartridges into three categories, low, medium and high, I would put the .30-06 in the high category. It can be loaded from mild to wild and your mileage might vary, but I consider the .30-06 to be a high-power cartridge.

The conspiracy theories have already started.  Example here.  I don't subscribe to those theories, but I do acknowledge them.

Judicial Insubordination
