The M-14 is my favorite rifle to shoot in the field. While it may not be as mechanically accurate as some of my other rifles, it just seems easier to "hit" with. I've shot high-power matches and hunted with mine, killing elk, deer, coyotes and even a wolf.

Nice looking revolver! I have one that's a great shooter, but doesn't look that nice. Try plinking at some longer ranges, I've made hits with mine out to 100 yards.

Great looking holster! Alex has made several holsters for me, excellent work all around.

I'm using Longshot and the 180 XTP, very accurate and a little over 1300 fps in my STI Perfect 10.

The 5" N frames are terrible! They are a sickness and I've got it bad! I bought a 5" 29-2 at the local hardware store for $650 and then I was hooked. It was joined by a pre-27, then a 26-1 Georgia State Patrol commemorative, then a 27-2 was sent off to Bowen Classic Arms to be converted to 44...

I have been playing with the 10mm for a while now. Have tried a Glock 20 SF, a Kimber Custom Eclipse II and a STI " Perfect 10" These groups were shot at 100 yards from the seated backrest position. The five shot group on the paper plate was from a STI "Perfect 10" sighted for 50 yards. Load is...

Trophy hunting means different things to different people. Some hunters are only interested in the score, having a bigger buck than their friends. Others, myself included want the trophy as a reminder of the hunt, size being secondary. Hunting is a big part of who I am. I started hunting with my...

5" 27-2 Converted to 44 Special by Bowen Classic Arms 100 yard target

Good Idea! All these poseurs packing fake guns, I'll get some cheap plastic grips and fake out the fakers!

What I like about the 26-1 is the tapered 5" barrel, that's what makes it the "perfect compromise" in my opinion. The 5" barrel gives a little longer sight radius than the 4", but is much easier to pack than the 6-6.5". A holstered 5" lets me sit without pushing up my belt. The tapered barrel...

I try to stay away from 357's as trail guns, that nasty crack is hard on my ears when fired without earplugs. Trail guns will be fired without earplugs. I've gone to 44 special and 45 Colt for "packin' pistols", literally half the chamber pressure of the 357. The only thing they give to the 357...

I have two GSP 26-1's and they are both great shooters. S&W did a great job on the mechanics of these commemoratives. Tight cylinder throats and just the right relationship to the forcing cone to shoot .451-.452 cast bullets. One of mine had been stolen and badly molested cosmetically, but...

I've got two GSP 26-1's they are both excellent shooters! A bargain at the price they are going for, just look at what it would cost to buy and convert a nice 5" 27-2 to 45 Colt!

My son competes in the Garand matches with me. We shoot a couple of late Springfields.

I'd like to start casting some day, got a lead pot, a few molds and an old lubri-sizer. Just need to get started.
