Crimson Trace Texan Hogs, Bloodthirsty New OP Gunbastard Converts, Lost With Insight HX150 Flashlight, Nearly Naked Hunting When Pigs Fly (Redux)
March 21, 2011
Just got back from Texas pig hunting, had two days of work and then out to hunt them again. Texas this time, also, but just a few miles from the Mexican border instead of mid-state. Crystal City, Texas, the spinach capital of the world. The city gives a nice homage to Popeye. Weather was a lot warmer, around 80 degrees some days, as low as 50 some nights. Almost no bugs, and breezy and pleasant.
The hunt this time was sponsored by the famous laser company Crimson Trace, and with me were my Team Leader Mark from Technical Sales, …

I wanted to show how the OPMOD bags are useful creatures for a variety of reasons. In this instance, I removed the foam from Storm 3300 and Pelican 1750 cases and inserted the OPMOD bags. Often, during hunts, you will need some sort of soft case while travelling by vehicle from one place …
Freedom Arms .454 with OPMOD on Weaver MIL-STD 1913 and Modified SSK Mount
February 17, 2011
About 25 years ago I finally had some money saved that needed to be spent on my gun addiction. A friend's dad had just bought a 6" Freedom Arms revolver and it was too much for him. He wanted to sell it. Like so many other items I lust over, this manufacturer's products were way out of my league, pushing two grand retail even way back then when their guns only came one way. There were no Premier models and Field models, they were simply the best they could make. To this day, Freedom Arms makes the finest revolvers …
