@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social In anticipation of observing Firearms Friday…😬🤭

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social For your Firearms Friday Infotainment; Loadout for 1/2 day at the range….

@trs90.bsky.social I posted a Henry Eyring exam problem on The Other Site and, for good or ill, nobody tried it. Got some cognitive dissonance basically unrelated to the problem, but otherwise Not Much. Eyring is probably rolling in the grave. 🤭🏴‍☠️

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social The lengths that these places will go to in order to make “authentic” Detroit-Style pizza is a little absurd.

@whorfin.bsky.social @haillemmy.bsky.social Welp…as long as I’m locked out across the street for replying to Simon’s bucket belay post…may as well reboot our Firearms Friday with this musket: 🤭🏴‍☠️

Appears that I am currently suspended (locked) on X/Twitter. Reason: 🤷‍♂️🤭🏴‍☠️

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social I’m completely serious about this. NO GI GUIDERODS EVER!! 🔥🔥🔥 🤭

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social I know, I know…Never Say Never. I will NEVER run a GI guide-rod setup again. Never.

@whorfin.bsky.social @haillemmy.bsky.social Simply because we seem to have skipped a few beats for Firearms Friday, I’ll drop a 70s/80s “starter pack” to reboot. Without further comment, for your infotainment:

@whorfin.bsky.social For your Infotainment...

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social Apparently the other site is rapidly devolving into a whole “Concealed Carry is a Vibe” enterprise. They absolutely refuse to STFU & just…Carry. Or Not Carry. 🤦‍♂️🙈

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social Sorry we missed Firearms Friday…so I’ll offer you this slightly obscure historical piece:

i have often said that the bosses insist we return to the office because they don't have object permanence

If you strip out the Eagles’ defense, the Chiefs really like where they’re at now

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social No time for a proper Firearms Friday entry…so I leave you to ponder This 👇 ❤️‍🔥🏴‍☠️🔫 medium.com/war-is-borin...

Farewell David Thomas, top man and kindred spirit.

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social For Firearms Friday, as a slight change of pace and shift in emphasis...I thought it might be worthwhile to revisit the story of the so-called "Ring of Fire"...

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social Not a lot of time to cobble anything together...so to keep our Firearms Friday group lively, I'm putting forth an article that dispels some of the 'myths' about a famous handgun aficionado & his preferred carry guns: www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/ge...

Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the holy trinity: El Cap, Half Dome, & Mt. Watkins.

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social For Friday Firearms enjoyment &/or exasperation...there is no avoiding the obvious: They work. They are not pretty. They are not photogenic. They look like tools (because they are)...but they changed the world and are the most reliable 9mm ever made.

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social Picking up where we left off on the last Firearms Friday...and continuing with Edgar Budischowsky designs...I present to you the Budischowsky TP-70:

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social A quick note for Firearms Friday...and an obscure one. Before the HK P9, there were roller-delayed blowback pistols, and the Korriphila HSP-701 was as much a work of art as it was an engineering marvel:

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social For your Friday Firearms enjoyment (& ridicule), I’ll just leave these here and show myself out…

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social For your better-late-than-never Friday Firearms enjoyment…the rather obscure and beautifully strange Whitney Wolverine:

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social For Firearms Friday...I'll just leave this here. It's an unusual piece of history for several reasons...but perhaps most notably because it's a DA.

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social Just to keep things moving w/ our Firearms Friday(s)...I'll leave this here w/ minimal comment and let you fill in the gaps. At one point, the New Jersey State Police carried some variant of the P7 as their duty weapon (not sure if they still do).

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social Quick reboot of our Friday Firearms...picking up where we left off. This one will be fairly brief... Our feature FF for Friday Jan 31st, 2025...The (somewhat) obscure Browning BDM:

@haillemmy.bsky.social @whorfin.bsky.social All of that reminded me...we should restart Firearm(s) Friday on BSKY...

@adrianinbrum.bsky.social @leewochner.bsky.social Any smoke signals from Lee Wochner? Not sure what part of LA he's in but wondering if he's OK, or as OK as the situation allows (?).

Just an observation: hardly anyone listens to Foghat anymore.
