    HKS speed loader

    Yes. The UpLULA loader is solidly constructed, easy to use and can be used with both single and double stack mags. Sorry. Guess I did get a bit long winded without coming to the point.

    HKS speed loader

    I own two - the HKS 943 for my single stack 380ACP mags and a HKS GL-940 that I bought for use with my .40 Cal double stack mags. The HKS 943 works like a champ! I can load my single stack PPK/S and Bersa Thunder mags very quickly. I can't seem to get the 940 to work as well. The 943 is...

    Any Straight Razor Users?

    Yes - those sets can get very expensive and the handmade ones with various exotic woods and bone for the scales can be quite beautiful. But I'll have to do with just one good one with plastic scales for a while.

    Any Straight Razor Users?

    Onomea - I do enjoy using the razor. I've also come to enjoy the prep prior to the shave. No more just slapping on some shave cream and scraping away with a multi-blade. Using the shave cream and brush takes some time and helps slow down the start to the day.

    Any Straight Razor Users?

    Just curious to see if there are any straight razor users around here? I started using a straight razor about three months ago. Still learning and taking it easy. Lots to learn - not only technique with the razor so I don't cut and ear off but also learning to hone and strop the razor correctly.

    SD40 After Market Mags

    Is anyone making after market mags for the SD40? I have an SD40 VE and purchased a third mag but at $50 a mag, I need some alternatives.

    The ugliest pistol category

    A cousin posted a pic of this on FB and I had to find out what it was all about. Spanish made. Date of manufacture unknown. Currently in a private collection. 6.35MM. Selector above trigger selects which firing pin to use - left, right or bottom. Hope this guy doesn't take offense to me...

    Got a question about your area

    Riffle ammo, for the more common calibers, is plentiful and not too expensive right now. I found a great "buy 3 get one free" deal at a local sporting goods store just before deer season so I'm all stocked up on 30-30 and 270. Pistol ammo is the issue. I checked in with the same noted...

    Vision-Challenged Sharpshooter Wannabe

    My vision challenge is due to old age and tri-focal glasses. I'm sure I'm the goofiest looking guy on the range with my head cocked back to get the sights in focus. But - the instructor was telling you correctly. You need to focus on the front sight. Once that is clear, you will want to...

    Field stripping problem with SW9VE

    It also sounds like you're pulling the slide back too far after pulling the trigger. You should only be pulling it back about and 1/8 of an inch - just enough to barely expose the barrel. That shouldn't be enough to reset the trigger.

    Black Friday Gun Sales Hit New Record High

    According to Alex Jones' "Infowars" and The Examiner, gun sales on black Friday hit a new record high. The sales volume was apparently high enough to shut down the FBI Instant Background Check system - twice! Me - I just stayed home and raked leaves.

    Need help from the shotgunners.

    Absolutely! Can't go wrong with an 870. If he takes care of it through the years, he'll be able to pass it on to his children.
