    New Toy: Tussy Custom Colt Compact

    "Can I trade this in?" "Yessir, you sure can." It's now MINE. Awesome. The accuracy is better than I expected. I did have some reliability issues when I downloaded the magazine... when I loaded them full – worked perfectly. I have no explanation for that, other than I think the recoil spring...

    Tight

    The Dan Wesson Bobtail Commander... I've heard a lot of talk about the DW being a less made 1911. Feh. Reliable. Accurate. Well built and using only forged stainless... no MIM or plastic parts. They shoot brilliantly. And it's under a grand. Not a bad option.

    AR-15 KB with HSM ammo

    No one was injured. HSM ammo. New Armalite AR-15. We've had a lot of problems with HSM ammo lately. We didn't used to, but now all the sudden it's been a nightmare. Stuck cases, dud primers, and now a KB. Now it could be the gun's fault... like the bolt didn't fully lock. But that wouldn't...

    10MM and .45ACP against a steel plate

    I'm reviewing a 10MM auto for Concealed Carry Magazine. I've not shot a 10MM in over 10 years, and even then, that was only on to paper. I really got to play with one today. Decided to try them on a steel plate. The .45ACP busted through the plate... but it was more like pushing through...

    Light Carbine in 5.7x28MM

    The little 5.7x28MM cartridge is one that I've taken an interest in. The way I see it... it is something of a rebirth of the .22 Hornet, but in a shorter rimless and half priced package. It is also more efficient and I'm betting it is more accurate than the Hornet. $45 bucks for 50 rounds...

    The Customer Is Always Right?

    There are plenty of threads in the archives about bad gun dealers and the stupid things people have heard them say. How about this... How about a thread where Dealers get to post some of the stupid things we've heard customers say? Magic Guns are common, but two stand out in my mind: I...

    I'm never selling a Rock River again!

    Rock River and I just separated ways. I've build and rebuild many an AR. Replacing stocks is easy. On a Rock River, not so much so. Admittedly it's been awhile since i last swapped an AR stock - like maybe a week and a half. So I get this Rock River and this chap wants a Vltor stock on it...

    Marlin 308MX

    A couple of fellows bought a couple of Marlin 308MX rifles. Not the XLR long stainless units, but the shorter blued versions in the new cartridge .308 Marlin Express. Both rifles were scoped up with Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9X scopes. Not a bad package... not the scopes I would have picked out, but...

    My top scope picks

    what I've done is to take a look at each price tier and pick a scope or two at that level. I'll start out on the low end of the price scale and we'll work our way up. Now the interesting thing about some of these scopes is that they can sometimes beat scopes at a higher price level. So you might...

    Worst Weapon?

    The worst weapon the US Army ever had? I was asked what I thought the worst weapon the Army has ever had. Two conditions: First, no M-16's. Second, no weapons forced upon US troops by the French, aka the Chauchat. This is difficult to say because really the US Army has been gifted with so many...

    Ordered a CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62X39MM

    I'm quite smitten with the 527 Carbine in 7.62X39MM. It should be here any day now. The question I have is what can I expect from it and what scope should I top it with? I'm thinking a Leupold or Bushnell Elite 2-7 Variable. I like the size these little scopes come in. Keeps with the whole...

    Say goodbye to the Browning A-Bolts

    Nasty little rumor has it that Browning is killing off the A-Bolt II line. We don't know yet what is replacing it, but I would suspect it will be along the lines of the new Winchester rifles that I'm guessing will be coming out soon. Not only has Browning cancelled all our orders for...

    The newest Detonics USA

    Anyone know what is going on with Jerry A's new Detonics company? The website has the same "we're making changes" message and all their old contact information is no longer any good. In fact, I've sent a package back to them 4 times and it bounced each time with the latest saying that the...

    Bottom Ten Worst Gunfights

    I've read a lot of what guys think are the best gunfights out there on DVD... But what about the worst of the worst gunfight scenes? Like the last gunfight in Mr & Mrs Smith or in Smokin Aces? The real stinkers... What do you guys think?

    Boom Headshot - .50 style

    This is amazing. Willie, the guy shooting the AR-50 is a friend of mine. The target, a 1" steel plate was 100 yards away. You can hear the ping of the hit, then the bullet comes back and hits him in the head...

    Limbsaver Barrel De-Resonators

    I decided to try out one of these new Barrel De-Resonators from Limbsaver. I had heard from several of my customers that they work great. Those that have tried them have them on several of their rifles if not all of them. Well, I tried one. I'm impressed...
