I have several Glock 19's and one in particular has been dropped on concrete,gravel,dirt,mud,rocks. churt,and just about everything else,mostly in training. It looks like it's been through the Boer Wars,but still runs like a champ. 17 years of real world abuse,mostly unintentional has not slowed...

I do my best to stay out of gunshops as they are all mostly staffed by idiots. I purchase my ammo online,but I can't avoid the shops all the time. I happen to carry Glock 19's daily but still have a lot of love for good 1911's due to many years on them. Some fool on one side of the...

The 10/22 is a fine little rifle,but my wife just chose for her next .22 a Remmy 552 Speedmaster.We picked it up last week and it is phenomonally accurate. Very nice wood too,kind of takes me back to the days when I had all my bolt action hunters built and the stocks hand checkered. I'm...

Nope.It's a test. I plan to reward it with a good cleaning and lube sometime after the July 4th weekend. :D

I've had no problem with the front sight being too high,although I have heard a few complaints about it from other people. The primary problem with the SPX front sight has been canting to one side.Lots of complaints about this,and Mossberg has had to send out a lot of new barrels because of it...

The Maverick 88 is a good little shotgun,in spite of the elite naysayers. Of course,being as light as it is, it is one of the hardest kicking pumps out there. I started using Federal's LE132 Tactical 00 low recoil with the flite control wad. Made it more comfortable for sure and the...

Good that your sight isn't canted. I'm fortunate that mine is ok too. I believe some people have used a Mossberg 590 spring in theirs to correct some of the issues.There are also better extensions available.I have used Choate extensions in the past and they were closed ended,didn't have the...

The follower from S&J Hardware solves the problem with the 930SPX.Reduces capacity to six but increases reliability. Hi viz orange.If seven is not enough of 00B,you can ghost load it for 8 with a round resting on the elevator. I don't do it,but some do.

The follower in the 930SPX,in case you havn't looked at it,is a very short and "cupped" metal follower. I've had mine to do the same thing when loading the full 7 rounds into the mag. With only 6 in the mag the problem doesn't occur. I believe the short follower when fully loaded gets "sideways"...

My dad started me on quail with his 16 ga. Remington 870.He could get three birds on a covey rise with regularity. It was bought in the early fifties. Quail and duck gun. Two barrels,a 26 in. improved cylinder and a 28 in. full choke. He always nailed it at turkey shoots with that full...

I think use of the 20 ga. could bear some discussion. It's certainly less potent than the 12,of course,but I still think it will get the job done. I have taken two bobcats with a 20 ga. Browning at night using #3 buck. At the time that was the largest shot available for the 20 and may...

Glock 19. For all the aforementioned reasons.

It's a pretty common phenomenon with Glocks. My G19 does it quite often. I actually wish it would do it everytime without fail. Speeeed.:D

The factory Glock night sights are ok. I didn't know they were made by Mep. The meprolight sights are the brightest I have ever used and seem to stay bright longer,although I now have Ameriglos on the two most frequenly carried Glock pistols. That price is a deal,I'd go for it. If I...

I"ve been on a fighting shotgun kick myself recently.I cut my teeth on quail with a 16 ga. 870 as a boy. Used an 870 in my police career,so it's the gun I'm most familiar with.I've yet to find any fault with them for my purposes. I have a 12 and 20 in fighting configuration and recently just...
