Hey Greg, February 10, 2010
Hi Mike,
Dear Mr. Quinn: February 9, 2010
Thank you, Sir. I really enjoy doing this.
Jeff, I am a paying member of Gunblast and a huge fan. I was a little disappointed with the new ad you have up from Dillon Precision Products. Do they really need the big breasted girls on this ad? Seems out of character for your site. Regardless of anything being done about the ad I will continue to read and enjoy your site. Just wanted to voice a small concern. Michael February 9, 2010
I appreciate the feedback, but I see nothing at all wrong with the ad. Dillon Precision is a good company, and they make some fine products. We are happy to have them as a new advertiser. The girls are clothed, and seem to be well-proportioned. I do not think that the breasts are overly large, but just about right. Both of those women are very nice ladies.
Hallo, Ich spreche leider nicht englisch, ich benutze ein Programm für Übersetzung, Sorry. Eine wirklich sehr schöne Homepage habe ich hier gefunden! 28 Jan, 2010

Dear Gunblast staff. I just want to say how much I thoroughly enjoy your website. I first got turned on to it by my father who is also a huge fan. And while I don't share his love of political talk, we both share a love a firearms. And it goes without saying your site produces some of the absolute finest and thorough reviews I've even seen. It's easier to get an idea of what I'm dealing with through the great photos that are placed alongside your reviews. As a full time EMT & Police Officer here in Tennessee, I very much value our 2nd
Amendment rights and very much respect appreciate your responsible takes on gun ownership & preparedness. I look forward to reading your website for quite
some time and thank you all for your time and dedication to my much beloved past time. January 26, 2010
I'd like to comment in response to Lewis who wrote that the idea of citizens using guns for protection against the US government is a silly idea. Lewis said "Tell me why I'm wrong". January 23, 2010

I picked up my STAG model 8 last week and I have to say I am very impressed. I have been shooting AR's for 10
plus years now (Military/Law Enforcement) and I am very pleased with the performance of this weapon especially with the cost being so low. I have an EOtech 511
single red dot optic mounted and a "grippod" that I have added. The collapsible stock and shortened barrel of January 17, 2010
Your Grayman review was, by far, the best, most compelling knife review I have read, and I have read a few.
Thank you for your commitment to provide clear, concise, reviews. January 11, 2010
Thank you, Sir. Grayman makes a good product, and although I usually do not do knife reviews, I think that getting the word out about his knives was deserving of a review.
Jeff, Do you ever publish a negative review? Do you like all the guns you test or do you simply not wright up the lemons? Jon January 8, 2010
I try to make it a practice to not spend my time with any junk, but if there is a problem, I always report it. Always. I am working on a review today in which I had to send the gun back for repair. That info will be in the review. I was the first out with a report on the then-new S&W 500 magnum. The first guns to leave the factory had problems. I reported it. No other writer did, and I know of several who had the same problem that mine did. Still, if a gun works as intended, is accurate, and functions reliably, that is what I report. If there are any failures, I report them.
I have been reading Gunblast for a couple years now. For about two years I just read your reviews on the latest guns that were out. But recently I visit your site more often to read about politics. I personally agree with
a lot of your views, Jeff. I appreciate the fact that you will let your readers with different views post questions and comments on your site. While I consider myself more of a Republican than Democrat; I also consider myself neither. I've had it with both parties. Kendal January 7, 2010
The "gun show loophole" is false. It is propaganda put out by the
anti-gunners. I attend lots of gun shows. Dealers at gun shows have to run background checks on gun purchasers just like they do when selling from their gun stores. I have bought lots of guns at gun shows, and always have to fill out paperwork on the gun, and wait for a background check, unless I am buying a gun from an individual
who is not a gun dealer. In that situation, it is perfectly legal for a citizen to purchase a gun from another citizen.
I am a gun owner, and active shooter, and while I don't hunt, I don't carry a grudge against those who do. The NRA however is beyond my scope of comprehension. I for one, am in favor of gun education and licensing for owners of fire arms. To me it is just like an automobile license. However if you share that idea with a NRA guy - he will go ballistic! Lewis December 25, 2009
Deranged or not, that is their right, if they want to live that way. Me, I am content living where I live. I certainly hope that we never come to the point that we have to stand armed against our government. However, that is the very reason that the Second Amendment to the Constitution was placed there. It guarantees the right of citizens to be armed. It has nothing to do with deer hunting, or even self defense against punks. The sole purpose of that part of our Constitution is there to protect the citizenry from tyranny. Whether or not we would stand a chance has nothing to do with it. The Constitution does not guarantee a right to drive an automobile, so that argument is irrelevant. The Federal government has no right to "license" me to
exercise any of my enumerated rights. They are guaranteed by our precious Constitution, but given by God. To many in our government, the Constitution is merely an aggravation that prevents them from trampling on the rights of the citizenry. Thank God that the founders of our nation, and the citizens of that time, insisted upon that Bill of Rights.
To which I would add: Lewis, your belief is that, if one is seriously outgunned, then one should just roll over and accept tyranny? I'm glad that attitude was not the prevailing one throughout history. Boge Quinn
Jeff, This response is about your Ruger SR-556
Review. I've never provided feedback on any gun review in my life, but I felt that I needed to this time. Max December 19, 2009
Perhaps you should read somewhere else. In my review, I was being absolutely honest. I report the
facts, the details, and the accuracy of a firearm. However, am I not allowed to like a firearm? I am still human, and have preferences, just like everyone else. Perhaps that is my problem. I still like guns, and I love this job. I can't help it. Many gun writers do not like guns. They would be as happy writing about anything else. This is apparent when I go to shooting events hosted for writers. Many of them just sit on the bus and drink coffee, never even picking up a gun. Me, I shoot all that I can. It is still exciting for me. I love guns. Tell me of any other website or paper magazine that gives info straight to the reader like we do? I try to provide a detailed description, have around 30 to 40 good pictures, and a video when possible. I list all of the facts, but I also sometimes throw in my opinion. I never write a review from a press release. I have to hold the weapon, shoot it, and take it apart to look inside. At the end, the review is just my personal evaluation of the subject at hand. It is not perfect, does not cover every possible detail, but is always an honest hands-on review. If that doesn't sit well with you, do not read it.
I have looked at a lot of gun reviews over the years and have to tell you that you do a wonderful job! No fluff and worthless info; just good solid usable information presented in an enjoyable format. December 18, 2009
Jeff, Just finished reading your article "The End of an Era: The Last of the Winchester Model
94" from Jan 18, 2006. I've read it at least a dozen times over the past two or three years, but I always come back to it. It is the single best written article I have read on the subject of the death of the '94. The entire article mirrors my feelings on the subject and articulates those feelings in a way that I never could. Looking at your photo's, one would never know there was so much depth there. Thanks for that article. It is such a pleasure to read, over and over... December 18, 2009
Thank you, Sir. I am glad that you liked it. For 2010, Winchester is bringing back a limited production Model 94, made by Miroku in Japan.
Jeff- I've had your web site bookmarked for a long time, and have taken sanctuary there many times. It's good to find people who are honest, direct, and capable of seeing through the smoke created by those that rely on deception and self-service. I thank you and the others for your work. I served a term in RVN with the army, and nearly four decades in law enforcement (Southern California); with 13 years on a SWAT team. When a host of injuries finally ended my active career I became a police psychologist. I now live in Alaska (where my range runs from my shop for as far as my eyes can see. I don't know if that's a commentary on my eyes or where I live). I have loved to shoot my entire life, and reload as well. By working part time for the local police department I get all the ammo I can reasonably shoot (and all the brass) and well-discounted prices on firearms. I also write professionally. December 13, 2009
I believe that a fight is coming. Too many people, however, have no concern at all for what those in our government are doing. As long as their houses are warm and their bellies full, they give little thought for liberty or of the great price paid for it.
Jeff: I like your site. You have some good humour mixed in with your observations. My feedback is actually short. I was wondering if this statement: "For any one specific task, I can think of another gun that can do the job better than the
Judge." December 12, 2009
No, the statement is correct as printed. For instance, when a shotgun is needed, a full-length shotgun is better than the Judge. When a .45 Colt revolver is needed, a Blackhawk or Mountain Gun is better than the Judge. For a compact trail gun, a good .22 revolver is best. However, the Judge does quite well in all of these roles. Its versatility is its strong point. While there are several guns that can do any one of those tasks better, the Judge is versatile enough to do it all.
I just wanted to drop you a note and say a big thanks to you and Gunblast.. I had received a Ruger SA revolver from my wife's grandfather after he passed away. Unfortunately it was missing the cylinder, and I had no idea what it was until I ran across Bill Hamm's article on the Bearcat .His article was a veritable "one stop shop" for all of the information I was looking for. It turns out I have a excellent condition "alphabet" Q9xx manufactured and shipped in July 59 with an original Bucheimer tooled leather holster and cartridge belt from the same era. I also am now singing the praises of Ruger firearms. I shipped it to the service department and they had the original cylinder in stock.
They installed the cylinder and the safety conversion, and shipped the pistol back with all of the original parts for no charge. December 3, 2009
Thank you, Sean, for those kind words. Glad we could help. Bill Hamm is a walking enclopedia of Ruger information. That is a dandy little revolver that you have there, and nobody does customer service like Ruger does. |
