Here’s an idea. Answer this question:

Why, given the advances in material science (including springs) hasn’t anyone produced a simple inexpensive blowback semi-automatic like the Makarov, but in a more capable round than 9×18 or .380?

However, traffic seems to increase the most when I start posting pictures about local events, start frequenting internet discussion groups more regularly, and when I comment on new (for me) blogs.

Don’t go negative and ranting – unless you can do it with style and grace. On the occasional topic its fine, but your site is so much better than that generally.

As for the mainstream bloggers – I posted some time ago (and am willing to take credit for being the first (or at least the first I say) to say so) that blogging had jumped the shark.
