    First time German shooters

    On safety, both adults are good gun guys. I had a little talk with the group before they went out. Each adult supervised each shooter. They had painted shooting boxes. They did not just show up and let her go. The group photo was taken with all guns checked and cleared, but I agree the...

    First time German shooters

    The guy I practice law with is a high school wrestling coach. A German all star team was spending a couple days in Corvallis, Or and the weather turned normal, wet and damp. They decided to head for a local farm to do a little shooting. None of the kids had ever touched a gun. I sent a few...

I have an old CZ 75BD with a 5" Bar-Sto barrel fitted by the factory, total cost of about 1/2 the Baer that shoots as well. It has a 10s of thousands of rounds trigger job, which is expensive, but fun. Both shot much...

    My new STI Ranger II 9mm has run very well out of the box. 4.5lb factory trigger. Uses all my magazines.

    New to me Smith but I think I overpaid

    Good price, great gun. That gun doesn't show any signs of shooting wear. I have a nice 6" 19-3 and a 14-3 (I have a "3" collection for some reason). The 19 gives you the option of putting something "longer" in it for special occasions. Medium to heavy .38 Special rounds shouldn't ever wear...

    New STI Ranger II

    Just arrived at the club yesterday. I got out today to pick it up. Took a few 9mm reloads and some 10 round Mags. Lubed up with eezox until it dripped. The club has a trigger gauge. I guessed 4.5. I was right on. Not one bauble. Steel plates fell with regularity. I am very...

    Hi Power VS 1911

    I own one High Power and 5 1911s. My most recent purchase is a Les Baer PII 9mm. I put slim Esmeralda grips on it with a fiber optic front sight. It fits me better than the HP and is very reliable. Way more $.
