    Girsan Hi Power

    I have a Girsan & a Inglis. I have several Mk II & III BHP's also. Both the Girsan & the Inglis are excellent pistols & excellent values IMO. They are as accurate, well constructed & dependable as my FN's. The Inglis came with two magazines that are made in Italy, I assume these are...

    Is Lab Radar a buy @ $200?

    I have been using a Labradar every week for 9 years. For $200. IMO it is a good buy. I use mine primarily for CF rifle loads and have had very few instances where there were issues. It was a quantum leap over the Oehler sky screen system I had used for years. I also own a Garmin, and yes...

    41 magnum popularity

    41 Magnum Originally conceived by a couple of the shooting world illuminaries to be the "perfect police cartridge", it was a good concept. But not well executed as far as marketing. In the 70's there was much push back from the ACLU & other thug huggers, that a "magnum" of any kind was...

    Milt sparks order just arrived

    Milt Sparks Have several "vintage" summer specials for the 1911, Hi Power & Glock 17. They have all been used extensively & have been great holsters. Judging from the OP photo's they are still producing quality products.

    Model 38 - Anybody Shoot or Carry Older Bodyguard?

    Bodyguard Mine is a 49 also. Bought my first one to use as a "bug" in 73. My Training Sgt told me to go buy two things: A back up gun that used the same ammo as our holster gun & a sap. I lost custody of that gun in 83 to my ex who was also a LEO. Immediately went to cop shop & bought the...

    Any love for Glocks around here?

    Glock’s Bought my first one in the 80’s. A Gen 1 model 17. Still shoot it regularly. I have carried a Glock as a duty weapon, off duty weapon & since my retirement still carry one as my edc. The Glock pistol has proven itself in whatever venue it has been used. Do I own other brands? Sure do...

    Remington Model 81

    35 Remington I hunted with a T/C Contender 14" in 35 Rem for several years. I harvested several deer with that combo. All of my shots were 150 yds or less and with SP bullets. Quite effective deer dropper in a 14" bl.

    sharing a casting mistake

    Casting Glad you were not injured. Chalk that incident up to part of "the learning curve". Molten metal is very hazardous & unforgiving.

    FEDEX Ammo Delivery's

    FedEx I have had to present my DL to the FedEx driver when receiving primer or powder. UPS leaves the same items and drives off. I have learned not to order items from companies that insist on "signature required" and ship by FedEx. I have to go to the post office this morning to sign...

    My First Nightforce

    Nightforce Good buy! You have a good scope. The NXS line are great scopes. I have a bunch of NF scopes & Leupold scopes on my “serious” rifles & my dedicated long range precision rifles. Great glass. I toured the NF facility several years ago and was most impressed with the testing their...

    .357 Bain & Davis

    I have taken several large body white tail deer with a 6" model 28 and my handholds of 158 gr JHP over a max charge of 2400 powder. All of my shots were 60 yards or closer and only required one shot. As with any round,, shot placement is critical. Don't know that you would have any real...

    How would you build a long range varmint rifle?

    The other question is how much money are you wanting to invest? There are zillion options out there.Do you have an action? If you are wanting to stay below $1500. I would go back to my first post. Both Ruger & Savage and others make purpose built varmint guns that are very accurate out of the...

    How would you build a long range varmint rifle?

    Are you talking about buying a rifle & optics or building a rifle? I don’t know what range you are considering. I shoot steel plates at 1000 yds weekly & shoot with a group. I also hunt varmints and in my world 500 yds would be my max if I had a standing shot. In the field my rifle shots on...

    5 Stand Clay Target Shooting

    Totally agree. Too many get caught up in “gadgets & gaming” instead of refining shooting skills, have seen this is several shooting disciplines.
