Che Guevera (Entry 2): Hero of the Revolution

 I Heard that Che Was A Mass Murderer:

Well, I've heard from conservatives that Che was a mass murderer in Cuba. Let's see.

"Researchers have documented 216 victims of Che Guevara in Cuba from 1957 to 1959." This is from an article titled "Che Guevara Was a Racist, Homophobe and Mass Murderer" on HumanProgress.org by Guillermina Sutter Schneider published December 15, 2017. Human Progress is from the Cato Institute.

Nicolas Marquez wrote a biography of Che Guevera that does not gloss over his mass murders. And to quote Guevera, "The uncompromising hatred of the enemy, which drives beyond the natural limits of the human being and turns it into an effective, violent, selective and cold killing machine."

"The biography of Marquez ... is one of the few who dare to touch the dark side of this strange doctor, who broke the Hippocratic Oath to inflict pain and death around the world. And Marquez does not refer to deaths in combat, which could be understood in terms of military duty.   He refers to the sinister side of Guevara, who liked to use his own gun to execute political prisoners.  It is estimated that he alone executed in cold-blood 216 people." - from "'The Killing Machine', Diary of 'Che' Guevera (1928-1967)" by Juan Vega published February 25, 2020 on RNHA.org

Well, that's convincing enough for me. So, what do I do with that? Didn't he do a lot of good things for the revolution?

Richard Nixon: Tricky Dick or Anti-Establishment Hero

Conventional wisdom is that Richard Nixon was a paranoid lunatic that was bent on winning reelection.

But Jessie Ventura has floated the theory that Richard Nixon was so up the Deep States butt that they framed him with the intentionally inept Watergate burglars.

Che Guevara: Hero of the Revolution

 Was Che Guevara an evil dude?

That's the only question that I care about .... at this point.

Most Dangerous NIB Pistol?

The Altor single-shot pistol might just be extremely dangerous, if it is misused. 

Watch below (go to 13:00 for the good part):

The pistol seems really cool, because it utilizes so few parts, and it is really cheap, but what a design flaw! I'm surprise it hasn't been recalled. 

Stooge = FBI

 The FBI is a stooge of Biden's handlers.

That's  becoming more evidence. Mar-a-Lago is the icing on the cake.

Taurus Decoder Ring: A Cute Start

Every gun manufacturer has their own naming-convention gobbledygook. They have names based on years, calibers, sizes, capacity, extremeness. Yes, I wrote that: EXTREMENESS. 

Smith & Wesson is infamous for it; at least the gobbledygook part. I don't know if it was Handgun Radio that came up with the innovative concept of a Smith & Wesson Model Number Decoder Ring, but that's where I heard about it.

Well, Taurus is modestly confusing the hell out of me. I get tripped up constantly by the GX series. And I am feebly coming to grips with the numbering of its revolvers. But I still don't know what to call my 22 Poly, uh, PT-22 PLY ... yah!

Where to start? I could start chronologically, but that could be boring. I think I'll start with the easy route, because then I probably won't screw it up. Also, the first gun is sort of cartoonish, so it's like we are starting at an elementary (school) level. REMEMBER: Guns are not toys!

The Judge Series (2006-present)

The Taurus Judge was originally named the 4410. The "Judge" name came about, because judges were carrying the 4410 in Miami.

Judge (Models 2-441031T, 2-441039T, 2-441061T, 2-441069T)

barrel lengths: 3" or 6.5"
weight: 29 oz or 32 oz
material: steel alloy or stainless steel
finish: black oxide or stainless steel

Judge Public Defender (Models 2-441031TC, 2-441039TC, 2-441029TCPLY, 2-441021PFS)

barrel length: 2.5"
capacity: 5 rounds
weight: 28 oz or 27 oz
material: steel alloy or stainless steel or polymer
finish: black oxide or stainless steel or black plastic

It sounds funny that this version of the Judge is called the Judge Public Defender, but it is seen over and over again that line extensions can get a little goofy. Maybe they could have changed the name of the series to: the Courthouse.

The difference in weight between metal and polymer Public Defenders seems ridiculous.

Judge Magnum (Models 2-441031MAG, 2-441039MAG, 2-441061MAG, 2-441069MAG)
barrel length: 3" or 6.5"
capacity: 5 rounds
weight: 37 oz or 48 oz
material: steel alloy or stainless steel
finish: black oxide or stainless steel
The magnums have 3" chambers.

Raging Judge (Models 2-51039, 2-51069)
barrel length: 3" or 6.5"
capacity: 6 rounds
weight: 61 oz or 73 oz
material: stainless steel
finish: stainless steel
The Raging Judges add a .454 Casull capable chamber, but the chamber is not .410 magnum capable.

Biden Is A User of ... You

NEWS FLASH: Biden wants to appoint the first-black-female Supreme Court Justice to cement his virtue-signaling legacy (or his handlers do), but he threatened the filibuster to block the first-possible black-female Supreme Court Justice way back when.

credit: PJ Media

Now Biden calls the filibuster racist (or his handlers do).

Biden only cares about blacks, if he can use them (or his handlers do).

He is despicable (and so are his handlers).

CCO 1911 & the SIG 320

 Is anyone hack sawing SIG 320s?

CCO 1911 & Glock Hacks

The "ideal" carry Glock in .357 SIG would have a G17-size slide with a G26-size handle. So, maybe. There is a lot to unwrap here, BUT there might be a short cut.

Can you just short circuit the whole problem by throwing a G31 barrel in a G33 gun?

Actually, it looks like it won't work: https://www.glocktalk.com/threads/are-glock-handguns-barrels-interchangeable.1787366/

So, well. Time to get out the hacksaw. And it'd be cheaper. The original work around.

The Most Pedestrianly Exciting Shot Show 2022 Release

There is enough to be all aflutter about a few releases that were actually or sort of made at Shot Show 2022. 

Mega-boutique gunmaker KelTec's P15 demands a response from the blue-collar gun makers. 

.30 Super Carry raises many questions including: (1) Is it hype? (2) Will it ka-BOOM pistols? (3) Will it gain traction? 

A four-column (A)rmalite (R)ifle magazine receiver. 

A hunting cartridge that is perfected for a shorty bolt-action. And it is 8 or 9mm or something.

Harrington & Richardson has been reinvented with a retro M-16A1 clone being its first release. H&R really does still holds some trademarks to and full technical specifications for the M-16, because H&R was one of the original manufacturers. And guess what. Palmetto State Armory bought H&R in the Remington liquidation.

So what's the big news? Taurus has a .327 Federal Magnum revolver already cataloged on its website. It looked very exciting, because it looks very similar to the 856 UL revolver - the 6-shot .38-Special Ultra-Lite version of Taurus's 5-shot model 85. Unfortunately, the current offering of the Taurus 327 is a full-weight albeit snubnose 6-shot format tipping the scales at 22 oz. It's at a nice MSRP of $371 and 5 cents.

I really hope Taurus has a 327 UL in its back pocket. Maybe it will be called the 3277 UL - keeping the trend going for Taurus of adding a round at the same time that the Ultra-Lite version appears.

KelTec's NEW P15 vs. the OLD PF9 (and, yeah, of course the SIG P365)

credit: KelTec

KelTec Joins The Fun

The #Micro9 craze has been going great guns, since SIG Sauer introduced the P365. Well, not really. It took the other players a few years to catch up. Unfortunately, KelTec was early to the party and sat in a folding chair on the edge of the dance. Let me digress.

KelTec had the P11 for years. It sort of took Smith & Wesson mags that were from S&W  old metal DA/SA pistols, but it came with a 10-round "proprietary" mag based on the S&W mag. It was everything the SIG P365 came to be. Don't laugh!

Before we get into the nitty gritty, who are the players in the industry?

Micro 9s (order of intro)

KelTec P11 (1995-2019)

SIG P365 (2018-now)

Springfield Armory Hellcat (2019-now)

S&W  M&P Shield Plus (2021-now)

Ruger MAX-9 (2021-now)

KelTec P15 (2022-now)

And to celebrate the P11 that was ahead of its time - a Viking funeral.

The Nitty Gritty

How does the KelTec P15 stacks up to the gun it sort of pretty much replaced - the KelTec P11? And how does it compare to the lightest 9 - the KelTec PF9? How does it size up to the SIG P365 - the quintessential micro 9?

Well, hell that's inconclusive! Is the KelTec P15 a SIG P365 killer, or is it just a little bit too tall?

.30 Super Carry IS .32 Super!

UPDATE: 1/6/22 11:43 AM

Why is no one saying this?

Same caliber: .312

.30 Super Carry (credit: American Rifleman)

.32 ACP (credit: Wikipedia)

This all looks pretty much the same as the .38 ACP/.38 Super situation - except the semi rim. Oh, and also the fact that .30 Super Carry has a bigger case. Close enough.

.30 Super Carry (credit: The Gun Dungeon)

Well, The Gun Dungeon on Rumble.com did make the connection that .30 Super Carry is pretty much a .32 ACP Magnum, which dismisses the logical conclusion that it really is a .32 Super.

Of course, Glock could have cut this off at the knees by producing a guaranteed-to-be-unsuccessful .32 GAP.
