I picked up an RIA .22 Model 14Y bolt gun with threaded barrel really cheap over the weekend and been having a blast with it. It came with a cheap Bushnell scope and I screwed my Dead Air Mask can in it. I had to go with CBee shorts to stay subsonic, because even the standard velocity Klean...

I received my shipment of primed 10mm Norma brass yesterday($.20/ea. shipped!) and decided to load up some subs to to shoot on our property when we head up next weekend. I’ve got a bunch of powder coated 220 gr. SNS flat points that I bought just for can shooting. 1.26” C.O.A.L. over 9.4 grains...

Michael Madsen has died at 67. I remember him from Free Willy, Reservoir Dogs, and Kill Bill. Good solid actor with a good body of work. R.I.P. Mr. Madsen.

I’d never dealt with them before until recently, but I can now say they’re good to go. I found them on ammoseek when I was trying to find a company that had good prices on bullets and brass together and get free shipping. So often you find a deal on brass at one place, and bullets at another and...

I’m not very familiar with High Standard pistols, but I’m going to look at a Model 41 S&W this afternoon and the gentleman said he was also selling a High Standard target pistol from the late ‘50s or early ‘60s From the pictures, I see that it is a Supermatic, but other than that, I don’t know...

I’ve had a Model 41 for a couple of years now and love shooting it and wouldn’t mind picking up another one. I found this one from 1979 locally and thought it looked pretty good for a $775 asking price. I’m surprised that someone went to the trouble of getting it Nickel plated, but to each their...

I just picked up a .300 Blackout pistol with a 10” barrel. I’m rounding up all the components, dies, caliber conversion, etc. stuff I’ll need to load up some 220 grain subsonics and was hoping some of you running a similar setup would have a suppressor recommendation. I’m looking at the Q Trash...

While on deployment, Josh ordered a Tesla and was going to pick it up this afternoon. There was an issue with one of the tire pressure sensors that couldn’t be resolved before tomorrow, so they gave him a cyber truck as a courtesy vehicle to use in the meantime. We’ve been cruising around...

The family is all gathered up in JAX, and all the welcome home decorations are up. We are getting ready to head down to Mayport Naval Station to welcome his ship, the USS Jason Dunham back from the Red Sea. His ship is part of the Truman Task Force and was extended three different times. They...

I was putting my nightly quota of .22 LR through my suppressed FN 502 in the garage and had this case rim separation on a round of Winchester Wildcat 22. I’ve had it happen a couple of times on centerfire ammo and heard of it with .22, but in my lifetime, I must have shot 10’s of thousands of...

I’m a big fan of the apocalyptic thriller/survival genre in both books and movies. I’ve often stated here that one of my favorite books is Pat Frank’s “Alas Babylon.” I was skimming through some old movies on amazon prime and came across one called “Panic in Year Zero.” It was made in 1962 and...

I just picked up this 1066 with original box and paperwork and 8 mags, 4 of which are AccuGuide. It still has a Hogue grip, but the original came with it. I paid $1200🙂

At this point, I’ve put almost 2K rounds of .22 LR through my dead air mask .22 suppressor and several hundred, but probably less than 1K through my rugged obsidian .45. I had been noticing a degradation in suppression and mrs tlawler even mentioned that the mask wasn’t as quiet as it was when...

After following Onomea’s odyssey of finding a .22 suppressor and host(and learning a LOT about the subject…thanks everyone!), I took the plunge and picked up a FN 502 along with a Dead Air Mask suppressor. Wait times are down to just a few days now(in some cases, hours) and mine took four days...

I had not heard much on this problem in quite some time, so I thought Sig had pretty much put the issue to bed. But now the FOP up in Chicagoland says differently. Police union boss urges CPD to stop using service weapon alleged to misfire

Haven’t seen Kenny (Rubiranch) post anything for awhile, so I checked his activity. Last active Feb 17th. Anyone have any news?

I just picked up a NIB Vortex Strikefire II from a local ad for $85. It has both the red and green dot. I’m going to mount it on my 10mm FRP to try out.

I have owned a few circular saws over the years, a Craftsman and a Skil corded, and two DeWalts, 18v and 20v cordless, all of which were sidewinders. I am now in the market for a good worm (or hypoid) drive circular saw. The field has been narrowed down to the Skilsaw SPT77WML-01, which is the...

I picked this LH Model 624 snubbie late last year along with a 1006. I finally made it to the range today and thoroughly enjoyed shooting it. The trigger is a bit stiff, but no stacking and smooth pull through. I think I’m just really spoiled after finding that Reeves Jungkind tuned DAO Python...

I picked up this 1006 at the end of last year and finally got around to shooting it. I haven’t had a 1006 in awhile and was getting really used to the grip and feel of my 1076. The 1006 shouldn’t be that much different, right? But I really sucked at shooting it:p I was going to split my mags...
