Honestly, did you guys think we'd make it this far?


An hour after I publish this, I'm dropping a patron-only bonus video, so keep an eye up as you finish the episode.

Othais...just shut up and take our money, great efforts should be rewarded.

Every dollar just means more work though! We blow it all to keep the rare stuff shooting.

As always, an informative class act. At some point are you going to offer these on CD? Yes I know that I can always watch on-line for the foreseeable future.....but in CD form I can more easily fast forward over the bearded guy stuff and watch Mae shoot in HD (just kidding, every minute is worth watching....but would love to get it in CD form eventually).

When I saw this title I whispered shama lama ding dong to myself. Hahaha

Having a hard time reconciling the many reiterations of "Big, Slow, Weak" in this review when the Ruby [& others] in Small, Slow, WEEEEAAAK .32acp got a bye? Seriously, in the days before penicillin, ANY wound could punch your ticket. And throwing a bullet 1.5x as broad & 3x heavier than the .32acp just isn't anything to sneeze at when that apparently had sufficient power to get adopted too. The "mighty .45acp" is only this 11mm French with a pipsqueak .25acp on top for icing in terms of power, and look how that did in the grand scheme of things. OK, so this isn't going to stop a horse and there might have been better choices out there, but one thing that is a recurring theme in European handguns, is the utter complacency they appear to have about adopting glaringly weak cartridges, right up to the end of the century with the Mauser '96 & the P04 Luger following closely behind... ;-)

My concern is the show references its digital nature often, like links below etc.
