It was a long ish range day... I had a lot of stuff to work on ... a couple of .22's to sight in and a shotgun to check. This ended up being my last "exercise" of the day and it took longer than I thought. Before I ever started this exercise I actually did some par time draws to remind...

weird, I was just doing this at the range. before you read any further you have to promise not to make fun of my shooting times. I could save money and time myself with a sun dial next time. I ended up "testing" these 5 pistols: bhp 9mm, p99 9mm, sti trojan in 9mm, m&p in 40 and 45. Let me...

two proper in .45 2 the way they are supposed to be, in the .45 acp. But if you let me count the sweetest shooting handgun (sti trojan in 9mm!) it goes to 3. Allow me to cheat (like quack ;) )and count a double stack in .40 and it's 4 .... Of course, if you let me count my shrunken down...

thanks all Great suggestions here. I'll answer what seems open ended and ask some follow up questions. Traps Colibear traps - I've never seen another dog on the property, or cat either, so that seems fairly safe. Bonus is the visual confirmation. What I'm not sure about are restrictions ...

I'm looking for some help removing some groundhogs from a friends property. I'm not looking for sport just looking to get them gone. The property is a solid hour or more from my house, so I can't pop in and out to their place to hunt like I'd like. There are a couple of openings on two...

I too can't vote without Walther two XD's instead of one springfield? newb :) Love my p99, as much for the mag release as anything else. My second love on that list is the M&P. Editing to add checks on those I've owned or shot a bunch: Glock check M&P check HK check...

I didn't post to start with, as I didn't want to affect the poll But I always carry IWB. I love my comptac c-tac. I have other holsters I use for gun games, but rarely ever carry concealed with them. I have to be wearing a long coat with no anticipation of going inside to a warm...

All, I'm interested in how we typically carry our firearms. I'm not talking bug guns or pocket guns. The question is, for your 4-5 inch (some would say full sized carry) handgun, what style belt holster do you typically use. The options come from the descriptions in the IDPA rule book...

I like the Meopta I wouldn't change your rifle set up, you've got all the bases covered. 18" bbl is a good choice. I'd make sure you specify the rifle length gas system, it shoots a bit softer/flatter and give the brake a little less work to do. Lots of very good shooters go with 20 in, I...

thx ire3e971. What type of tweaks? buff on the feed ramp or mag related or ?? This field is pretty narrow, but I had the exact same "short list" and had actually considered some of the smiths. One problem there ... they have a bazzillion models. I think EARLY in thier history they had...

All, Thinking of recommending this to a friend who wants a pistol. Would plink and use for HD, and seems very cost conscious. My immediate thought was a police glock trade in, but haven't seen those lately. Then I thought "bersa .380" as it's got a great rep, but I don't like the .380 as...

depends on how you measure accuracy If the scale ways the same object and returns results at an average +/- .1 grain then you are correct. My suspicion is that they are claiming the scales reading are within .1 grain of the true weight, then the conclusions are correct. i.e. reusing the...

Nice reload, did it confuse the so? :) I'm a longtime IDPA shooter who hasn't shot many USPSA matches for one reason only ... the only ones local to me shoot on Sunday (and I don't). I agree on the ease of transition ... I've seen many USPSA guys drop the mag while reloading on the move...

they just change the chamber So that you can put in two bullets. One pointed to the target, the other goes 180 opposite direction. so far, there's been no complaints from testers .... :evil: I found this ad as I was surfin. Google got me here. IN another google result, someone claiming...

Couple of reasons to carry without a round in the chamber ... First: Sometimes kids pull the trigger when I pass my gun around the classroom.:evil: Second: My training is from tv and movies. This means when I'm about to get serious I need to rack the slide ... and I don't want to mess the...
