I frequently clean and lube my pistol magazines. This is because I compete in IDPA style matches held at my gun club where the magazines are constantly being dropped onto dusty gravel. This keeps the magazines running free and prevents grit from working its way into the pistol's action.

The year of that ad should have read 1961, not 1951. That was a typo which I have since corrected. Good catch!

I have been relating this story for years, six bullets bouncing off Superman's chest but he ducks when they throw the empty gun at him. Thanks for posting the video proof!

My little rascal ex-puppy, Peanut (now my son’s nemesis), driving his SUV after commandeering it for a joy ride. At least she invited their other dog, Snickers (hanging out of the window), to go along too. Although, knowing Peanut, that was probably only to share in the blame.
