all hail the king!

The sleeping giant. Let's awake Thor's hammer and buy/shoot American.

Chevrolet, apple pie and the 45ACP are as American as it gets. Forget all those puny Euro calibers, if you’re gonna hit the gong, hit it with the hammer of Thor. On the other end of the spectrum, as they say, “22LR was made for practice and squirrel stew, but if push comes to shove, a triple tap will do.” Some of us old schoolers are of the thinking that anything in between a 22LR and a 45ACP in the hands of a red blooded American is sacrilegious, but if the newbies (with their penchant for plastic pistols and iPhones) have their way, 45ACP will soon go the way of the passenger pigeon. Some of us grumpy old men still believe in the good old days and loyalty to the icons of our great nation, all this liberalness is well and good but diluted fealty is the death knell for national pride. Patriots beware, and support our 45ACP. This coming week we’ll profile 5 good old (or young) American gunmakers who are loyal to the 1911 and/or the 45ACP baseball-of-a-round in the manufacturing choices they make. Prepare to be converted.
