    22lr pistol advice sought

    I just bought a S&W Victory 22 pistol about 3 weeks ago. Extremely nice pistol, very accurate, nice weight and balance, over 450 rds thru it with no problems of any type! And it's very affordable. I love the ergonomics!!

    Anyone else love the smell of Hoppe's #9

    I've been using Hoppe's since 1960 to clean my guns. I love the smell of Hoppe's. It's probably part of my blood by this time!!!:D It's always done a good job and still does. I do use other cleaners also but Hoppe's is still my favorite!!

    The itch strikes again...

    I have a S&W 9mm Shield and a Ruger 9mm LW Commander 1911. The Shield is well over 1400 rds fired without ONE problem of any type. I's also very accurate. I went wild on mine and bought Apex parts and exchanged them for most of the S&W parts, personal taste issue. Mine has a 4lb 4oz consistent...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    I just bought this Ruger 9mm LW Commander 3 weeks ago. It shoots great and even though I'm a 45ACP guy at heart it will see a lot of carry time. I have a bad back and when I can't carry my Colt LW 45ACP Commander the Ruger will be my next choice!! "][/URL]

    9MM 1911 Mags

    I just bought a Ruger 9mm 1911 LW Commander. I also bought 4 Wilson ETM 500-9 mags for it. They work great with no malfunctions of any type.

    1911 9mm for cc?

    The Commander size for me is not an issue of concealment but one of comfort. When I sit with a 5" 1911, the barrel hits the seat and pushes it out of the holster. With the 4.25" barrel I don't have that problem. All my carry 1911s are LW versions due to my back problems, Degenerative Disc...

    Tough choice and need advise: Pro-Carry II vs Ultra Carry II

    I had two Kimber Pro Carry II 45ACP guns at different times. They were 100% right out of the box. Never had a problem with either of them. I had to sell them to pay for wife's medical bills.:( I now have a STI Ranger II 45ACP 19ll and Colt LW Commander 45ACP 1911. Both needed the extractors...

    Does my .45 1911 need a parabellum pal? I think yes

    See my two posts here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=807028&page=2 I just bought the Ruger LW on Wed. at my local gun store. Ruger did this one right!! I'm a 45 guy at heart and have two 45ACP 1911 Commanders but I really like the Ruger LW Commander in 9mm.:D

    1911 9mm for cc?

    I got to the range today and the Ruger shot just excellent. I shot 150rds of UMC 115gr FMJ without any issues in the Wilson 9mm mags. I loaded 1 in the chamber and 10 in the mag and they all fed and fired with out any problems. I shot 50 rds of 124gr Gold Dots, my carry ammo. As many of you are...

    1911 9mm for cc?

    I just bought a Ruger LW Commander 9mm yesterday. I'm hoping to get to the range today. I have 2 1911's a STI Ranger II and Colt LW Commander both in 45ACP. I'm a 45 guy. But my back has been giving me problems so I bought a M&P Shield 9mm and really like it. But I've been wanting a 1911 LW...

    410 shotguns- who hunts with one, and for what?

    In 1963 my Grandfather gave me a Stevens 410 bolt action shotgun. Held one in the chamber an three in a detachable magazine. It came with two extra mags. Used mostly for squirrels and for grouse. We didn't wing shoot grouse they were for meat on the table so took them on the ground to make sure...

    Which brand of primer do you use?

    I've used CCI for over 12 years and see no reason to switch. They work great for me.

    IWB holster for M&P Shield

    I have a DeSantis Intruder IWB hybrid holster that I really like. Excellent construction as you would expect from DeSantis. Stays close to the body, Kydex belt loops faster around the bottom of the belt so you can't pull the holster off the belt. Excellent holster IMO.
