The Triumphant Return of Jon Hodoway

In celebration of The RoadGunner Podcast welcoming Nighthawk Custom Training Academy on board as a sponsor, I traveled to Centerton, Arkansas to get the executive tour of the facility, audit a class, and hammer out the details of the sponsorship with Big Sexy himself.

The class I attended was Intro to IDPA which is an excellent name for a class. This is a class for noobs, beginners, greenhorns, and rookies. Instructor Haneesh Bagga walked us through the rules, the basics and a few extras. Well worth $35 for those folks who would like a few lessons and pointers instead of going with the sink or swim approach to participating in your first match.

So what do you get in this week’s episode? Interviews. The interviews: Jon “Big Sexy” Hodoway and Haneesh Bagga.

Haneesh Bagga on the right.

Rants and Reviews

This week the show is chock full of content. I talk about the Secretary of Offense disarming the Marines. I don’t say nice things about him either.

In nicer talk: a review of the CRKT My Tighe.

And an interview with Chris Davis of Rivervalley Gun Works who worked on my Sig 1911 C3.

I also discuss Michigan gun laws.

This week’s restaurant review smells like patchouli oil.

Episode 22: Double-Single

Because I love you people, I got a mobile broadband modem for my laptop. Now I can upload a show from places besides your average truck stop urine scented parking lot. You’re welcome. It’s a pre-paid data plan cuz’ the Un-Named wife (who verified once again today that she has never listened to the show) hates commiting to phone companies. I am so going to have to take advantage of the fact that she don’t listen…

In this jewel of an episode I review the “Get Some” Guns & Ammo store and range in Orem, UT. It’s a pretty neat place as far of the volume of guns and ammo they stock and the range is nice. It’s got a 25 yard max distance and can handle .50 BMG rounds as fired out of a Barrett .50 cal. The young staff needs a lesson in muzzle control so be aware of the hot little shits behind the counter with just enough knowledge to be worrisome.

And then there’s the guns. I fired a Smith and Wesson Model 500 and had to do a pants-check afterwards. Imagine taking a grenade, stuffing it into a pipe with a handle on it and pulling the pin and squeezing. It make big BOOM! I took a picture with my iPhone but it came out shite-y. In fact, all the pics came out shite-y. You’ll have to settle for links.

I decided to do an cheez-whiz to cheez-whiz comparison of Double Action/Single Action 9mm Service/Home defense pistols. All of these are guns that I haven’t fired before except the Sig P226. If you don’t know what DA/SA means, lookie here.

After shooting the big Magnum revolver I particularly enjoyed shooting the HK P30. It was gut. Ja.

Next up, was a gun I didn’t particularly enjoy shooting, nor did I like the quality, ergos, etc. The PX4 Storm by Beretta.

Then back to good guns like the HK USP Compact in 9mm. Nice but not as good as the P30.

Next up was the Frenchy and unremarkable FN FNX. Accurate gun, but Frenchy. This gun will make you surrender if attacked.

And I shot the popular Sig P226. A classic and well worth the price.

And instead of a restaurant review, I cook up a pork chop salad.

And I bought a new hat.

I like my show, so I put it on a hat.

Episode 14 (or is it 500??) with Massad Ayoob, Jon Hodoway, and The GunDudes

This week I have a real sponsor for this episode, Thanks to Jason Christensen and Concealment Solutions, maker of high quality concealment holsters for your firearms. Made in the USA in the State of Utah, which the Brady Bunch scored a big succulent goose egg on their scorecard. Visit concealmentsolutions.com and order a Black Mamba for your gun today!

I may be blowing my post MAG-40 wad here, but since the class is still fresh in my mind and many GRRN podcasters are talking about it, I’m going to lay my best interviews out here on the table for all to see.

Also my real name is Chaz Murray and I live in Arkansas.

I will continue to do the show as The Un-Named Trucker and travel the 47 lower States (no New Jersey) with my safety rescue equipment with me. Safety rescue equipment including, BUT NOT LIMITED TO fire extinguishers, flares, reflective triangles, jumper cables, extra food, water, blankets, etc.

To me, The Un-Named Trucker is a metaphor for any of the thousands of big rig drivers in the USA who travel the nation safely and legally while discreetly carrying their safety rescue equipment. My Arkansas permit allows me to carry legally in 38 states outside Arkansas. My Utah and Florida permits provide me redundancy.

This is a supplemental episode to keep you fresh, as if Mega-sode 12 wasn’t enough. Just a liitle MAG-40 prequel.

Episode 12

This show airs on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Let us never forget the atrocity that took place that day. Let us avenge the deaths of those Americans by restoring the Freedoms that we have foolishly pissed away in the last ten years with the implementation of freedom killing laws like the Patriot Act and the creation of wasteful Government behemoths like the Department of Homeland Security and their Gestapo-like TSA.

This episode focuses on none of that.

This show is a doozie, sports fans. At an hour and twenty something minutes it’s my longest offering to date. In it, I go over some regional hot-spots to avoid and some nice places to rest awhile when you are out there exploring this wonderful land.

When I mention a town south of Milwaukee I call it “Raphine.” The name correct name of the town is Racine. Rahine is a town at mile marker 205 in Virginia. There is a decent Petro Stopping Center there. It used to be White’s Truck Stop. They had a large gun case mounted on the wall, but that is gone now.

In related news, Manly Announcer has taken over the admin duties for my Facebook Fan Page. Please check that out and click “Like” unless you hate me. If you hate me then go back to watching Joy Behar on The View, wussy. Also, please welcome the show’s new mascot: Squashy the RoadGunner Possum, who replaced the very short-lived RoadGunner the RoadGunner Panda.

I can’t find any info on Disney’s website about carrying concealed on their property. Theme parks are not among the places off limits under Florida law. Carry there at your own discretion.

Episode 11

Thanks to all of you who have given me iTunes reviews. At the time I had recorded this episode I had just one review. That has increased somewhat.

New For Episode 11, an air horn effect…wow.

This week on The RoadGunner Podcast, I do some road gunning at an indoor range in Lavonia, Georgia. The Guns and Gear store and indoor range is a nice clean place to shoot. It’s located at exit 173 off Interstate 85. There is a large dirt lot suitable for big rig parking a half block behind the range at a motel. I shot the Walther PPS 9mm and the Springfield Armory XDm 5.25. I never get around to actually saying it, but the 5.25 refers to the 5.25″ barrel length.

You also get a food tip for a regional chain and the folks they blatantly ripped off.

Here are some photos of the guns and my targets.

Episode 9

What do you do when you need to practice gun handling but you are stuck in a rolling metal and plastic cubicle with a gorgeous spouse and two sorry excuses for canine beings?  I’ll tell you what you do, Sparky; you do a podcast about it and end up with a couple ideas.

At one point i describe to myself the five steps of the pistol draw from a hip holster. Step 3 should include rotating the elbow and pistol  so the gun is facing the target but keeps the firing arm tucked in close to the body in a “retention” position.

I need to point out that all opinions are welcome here. I am certain to piss off some more left minded folks with this episode when I discuss what I call “neo-liberalism” vs. classical liberalism. Whan I say classical liberal I mean what is known as libertarianism  today. Neo-liberals are those individuals, sometimes called progressives, that believe in only those freedoms that fit their ideology while rejecting vehemently, any opposing thought.

Me? I love freedom and I want to be left to alone so that I can go about my business and you can go about yours in whatever manner you desire. I do not want to take away the rights of those who are neo-libs, nor do I hate them for their views. We will see how they feel about me in return after this podcast!

Episode 8

In this tasty episode the Un-Named Trucker goes Cowboy. I get to shoot some fine weapons and I do an unexpectedted interview with SASS member Robert Baltimore, aka Lead Bane about his guns and ammo as well as how he got involved with the Single Action Shooting Society, SASS.

Lead kindly allowed me to shoot his Uberti Winchester 1873 clone and his two Ruger New Model Vaqueros, all in .357 magnum/.38 special.

Cowboy Action Shooting

I also offer my views on the problem of road rage, At times I sound preachy and I talk in circles somewhat. Par for the course I’d say.

Episode 7

In this fine example of what happens when a man with too much free time and an MP-3 recorder get together, I lament the loss of guns that I let slip through my slightly dirty fingers. Oh the shame!

In one part of the show I mention trigger creep but I wasn’t certain what the term meant. Well here is an explanation from a poster at 1911forums.com

http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=301245

Trigger creep – When the gun is cocked, the sear hook and the hammer hook are engaged. That engagement prevents the hammer from dropping until the trigger is pressed. Once the trigger contacts the other internal parts, and you keep pulling the trigger; there may be slight additional movement between the surface of the sear hook against the surface of the hammer hook as they disengage. That movement may produce trigger creep. Hooks that are longer than spec increase creep. Polished surfaces reduce friction and creep. Hooks that are shorter than spec can reduce creep but increase risk of the sear / hammer engagement slipping – which may drop the hammer to half-cock.

Trigger slack (Take-up) – The loose movement of the trigger (forward / backward) before it contacts the other internal parts (disconnector, etc.). Some slack is necessary to enable the disconnector and other internal parts to work right.

This week’s episode was distorted in Nebraska. I was too long winded and simultaneously lazy to get into their gun laws. You can peruse them here:

In 2009 Ammo was hard to find but I was able to buy reloaded ammo from the range and at 1 Walmart store 20 miles from my house if I got there early in the morning when their supply came in. They let you buy 2 whole boxes at a time.
Guns I loved and Lost:

Springfield Armory XD-45 compact
SA XD-40 subcompact
SA XD-9 subcompact
Smith and Wesson M&P 40c
S&W M&P 9c with Crimson Trace laser grips
2 different Kel Tec PF-9′s
Kahr PM9
Remington 770 in .243 Win
Ruger Mini-14 .223 Remington
Glock 17 Gen 3
Glock 19 Gen 3
Sig Sauer P229 Gen 3 SAS, .357 Sig

Farewell old friends…I’m so…stupid.

Rent a bunch of different guns BEFORE you buy!!!
