Another girly gun

Posted on October 8, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I guess I am just a fan of guns marketed towards women. This STI Elektra came with rather gaudy pink pearlite grips…which lasted until Kevin Manley of KD Holsters made thin, classy burlwood replacements. The rest of that pistol was … Continue reading →

vz61 Scorpion

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Tirzah came to Nashville to do make-up for the zombie shoot and stayed to model. Much as I like the zombies, I think she steals the show from the pistol. Props provided by Czechpoint.

New quad rail for Keltec Sub2000

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Oleg Volk

The original quad rail for Sub2000 had a bit of flex in it. While sights installed on it seemed to keep zero, it didn’t inspire confidence. Keltec updated the rail and the new version is rock-solid. I tried a 45* … Continue reading →

XR9-S in use

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Oleg Volk

My colleague, make-up artist Tirzah, in combat trim. She can fight with pistol, knife or bare hands…but using a pistol is easier on the fingernails. The holster purse is from Gun Tote’n Mamas.

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Balzac’s short stories and novels on-line. I was curious about an illustration for L’amie du Roi and decided to look up the story itself.

A scope for a deer rifle

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Don’s Winchester 70 in .270 gets just under 1MOA with his handloads. It seemed appropriate to top it with a better scope than the scary optical contraption it had originally. Now Bambi, Bambi’s mom and all other relatives are in … Continue reading →

Shooting well at age 11.

Posted on September 24, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Went to the range with friends today. Tried their guns and let them try mine. Fond out, for example, that .223 soft points don’t feed well from GI magazines but work just fine from PMags. (Firing on clays set up … Continue reading →
