    New Ruger/Marlin 1894 .357 caliber lever rifle, shooting impressions....

    While at Rural King several weeks ago, I saw a new Marlin 1894 lever rifle in .357 caliber, priced right around $900. Since they have an enabling layaway policy, I put a few bucks down on it, then picked it up a few weeks later. Quality seems on par with an earlier .357 Marlin 1894 I bought...

    Hogue "Double Diamond" Cocabola grips for 1911.....

    I've been shooting a Rock Island 1911 in 9MM caliber for a year or so now, gotten kind of fond of it, so figured it was time to upgrade the grips. Came with a set of boring black plastic ones: Ordered a set of Hogue "Cocabolo" wood grips in the Double Diamond pattern from Midway USA, cost...

    Tisas G.I. 1911 A1, "United States Property" marked....

    I bought a Tisas G.I. 1911 .45 a couple of years ago, a close reproduction of a World War II 1911. Plastic grips, G.I. sights, a Cerakote finish that looks like parkerizing. A good gun that performed well, but for some reason when Tisas came out with a more accurate reproduction of a WWII 1911...

    CZ 457 "Lux", .22 Magnum caliber, elegant magnum shooter!

    I have owned a Ruger Single Six Convertible for some time now, .22 Long Rifle cylinder and .22 Magnum cylinder. Until recently, I hadn't shot the .22 Magnum cylinder to see what kind of performance I might get. .22 Magnum ammo has been in short supply, and in my mind, expensive. .22 Magnum ammo...

    Picked up a Girsan Hi Power (Turkish Delight!)

    I traded in a couple of little used guns at a local gun shop the other day, they ordered for me a CZ 457 "Lux" .22 Magnum rifle, and a Girsan Hi Power clone. More to follow on the CZ .22 Magnum rifle, but today I shot the Girsan and found it "Worthy". Looks just like a surplus Israeli Belgium...

    Belt/holster rig for cold weather shooting....

    My Nephew came over for some shooting this morning, it was about 25 degrees with a stiff North wind blowing here in Southwest Virginia. I was not looking forward to unzipping my coat to access my pistol, knowing we would be shooting for about an hour. So, I remembered an old 2" wide leather...

    El Paso Saddlery "Threepersons" holster for Hi-Power....

    I got a Springfield Armory SA-35 Hi-Power a couple of months ago, and have been casting about for a good holster. I bought a Bianchi "Pistol Pocket" IWB holster for it, but wasn't completely satisfied as some mobility issues from a shoulder replacement surgery made it difficult to draw and...

    My Great Nephew "Kylian", who is about to turn 17 years old, is taking welding classes in High School. He gets to spend two hours a day building up his welding skills, and his Instructors allow him to make special projects. He fabricated for me some Falling Plates, 6" in diameter, 3/8" mild...

    Springfield Armory SA-35 Hi-Power, once scarce, now "Plentiful"...

    I have been lusting after a Springfield Armory SA-35 Hi-Power since they first came out a couple of years ago. Like most desirable guns when first offered, they were hard to get. I noted they were listed as "In Stock" at Midway USA, so asked my local shop to order one for me. He found a...

    Glock 44, a .22 caliber Glock...

    When the Glock 44 came out a few years ago, it intrigued me. A .22 caliber Glock the same size as a Glock 19 9MM, so it takes all Glock 19 holsters and mag pouches. A .22 caliber pistol that should be up for any abuse you can hand it, wet weather, snow, river crossings, canoeing, etc. I held of...

    Unique powder available at Midway USA

    Just got notification from Midway that they had Unique powder in stock. Ordered two pounds at $36.99 a pound, shipping and Hazmat fees bring that up to about $50 a pound. I moderated that by also ordering some .22 ammo in the same order. Unique is my favorite of all powders, I have many pet...

    Set up recently at the Tri-Cities Flea Market in Blountville, Tennessee, something I do on an annual basis to get rid of junk. Clean out the basement, shed, gun room of anything I haven't used in a couple of years. This enterprise has always netted me some good gun money, this year was no...
