Pellet If you want any kind of repeatable accuracy. Air Soft if you just want "Trigger Time". That is speaking from personal experience. I have a "Feral Cat" problem, and a "Crazy Cat Lady" living next door. So far this year the cats have destroyed 3 Car Covers, helped the sun destroy two Harbor...

That's not a Forehead...It's a Fivehead...

I worked Aircraft Maintenance for over 40 years. When I first got out of the service, I used what I was allowed to take from the Military. Fortunately the day I turned my tool box in, was a good day to do it because the guy that was doing my inventory simply dumped the Tool Box into a big old...

I got the "Black Rifle Disease" after I stopped at a vendor's table at a gun show. I asked the guy about all the uppers on his table and he explained how a complete AR could be built from a kit. I was intrigued, and I bought a 20" upper patrol rifle. I had no idea what I was getting into, except...

I bought one when they first came out. I really liked it but after all the misadventures with my first Python, I have been reluctant to shoot the Anaconda all that much. It may be a very strong gun, but I never put any full charge loads through it. I bought a Ruger Super Readhawk for that and...

I have several boxes in all the Calibers I shoot. I bought it before it became "Famous". I don't know what was the big deal, I shot a bunch of it when it was cheap, just to make sure it would work in the guns I have. It worked great in all the BHP's and that was the main concern. I wouldn't just...

I have a six-inch blue that I bought back in the middle 70s. It was what I could afford at the time, but it never felt good in my hands, so it didn't get used much. I'm pretty sure it was a set of Pachmayr Grips that changed all that. Pretty sure they are still available.

Before Cabelas started charging Sales Tax, I ordered a lot of different calibers and I had it worked out with the discount they usually gave, the shipping was pretty cheap. The only thing they ever screwed up was the packaging. If what ever you ordered included a free Ammo Can, it would arrive...

I have 2 629's and 1 Anaconda. Without actually knowing that I was doing this, followed Dirty Harry's Lead... Officer Phil Sweet: What kind of a load do you use in that .44? Harry Callahan: It's a light Special. This size gun it gives you better control and less recoil than a .357 Magnum with...

I wouldn't say I was I Love With Them, but they sure do speed up the reload time. I have a Model 25, that I did fall in love with, so I bought a "Bag Full Of Moon Clips" at a gun show. When I go to the range I just bring all the Moon Clips loaded, and shoot till they are all gone...I do the...

I don't know what exactly changed, but the difference in .22lr ammunition from say the 60's to today is like night to day. In my never ending quest to get back to normal after the 94 earthquake, I found some long forgotten "Boy Scout" era stuff and a box with different brands of .22lr. So I went...

It was...for about a day, but the State Appealed it, and as Typical California, it will be tied up in court for years. California Does What California Wants To Do.

I think it all depends upon where you live. As an "Example" I live in Komiefornia...You can no longer purchase Ammunition without a Background Check and you have to pay a fee. You also have to have Firearms Safety Certificate...and another fee for that. Now that might not seem all that bad, but...

If I had known then what I know now. Back in the 70's that stuff sold out here for pennies. I remember going to this one Gun Shop up on Ventura Blvd (long gone now) and they had a large wooden box filled with the Black Tip 30-06. 10 cents a round. I burned through hundreds. Regular 06 at any...

I inherited one several years ago, a 1952 year if I remember correctly. It belonged to my Wife's step father, and the first time I saw it, wrapped in an old blanket laying on the floor in a closet, of course I was appalled. I of course bought him a nice case to keep it in and gave it to him the...
