013 The “Snubby” Revolver

The ProArms team tries something different for this episode. Normally our producer (me) spends a lot of time editing each podcast, taking out the umms, ahhhs, creaks and any bad words that might occur. This time we are presenting it to you in all its unedited glory. Don’t worry; it still has a PG rating. Sometimes we talk at the same time and interrupt each other. Here you will see what one of our recording sessions really sounds like. Go on over to the Gun Rights Radio forum to let us know if you like this episode; just click the box in the upper left hand side of this page to get there. We talked about so much in this podcast all the links are listed below along with a couple of gun specific fora that may be of interest to aficionados of a particular brand.

012 Arizona Byways

The ProArms Podcast visits Arizona this week. First, Gail and two friends, Jon Hodoway and Kate Kreuger visit Robbie Barrkman of Robar. We get a wonderful tour of his plant, we got to see and play with lots of cool stuff and get the inside scoop for you on his coatings, especially NP3 as well as his other services. Gail had to practically drag Jon out of the plant so Robbie could get back to work.

While we didn’t record a podcast there a must see stop in Arizona for any shooter is the Scottsdale Gun Club. Gail and Jon Hodoway were given the deluxe tour there by Macy a very helpful employee of the club. It truly defies description.

In our second segment Gail talks with Mike Barham of Galco International. We talk about the company’s history and current and future product lines.

Finally we present a lecture given by Darrel Fretwell who had overcome some huge medical issues to become a champion shooter, and still remains on dialysis to this day.
