    April Rangemaster Newsletter

    Thank you for providing your newsletter. This is just the second one I’ve seen. A quick scan tells me there is a lot of valuable information. No one is coming to save us, that’s for sure.

    How is everyone liking the S&W CSX ?

    Trying something new with my CSX and one of my 1st gen M&P 9s. I had the CSX and one M&P milled for optics. The CSX has a Vortex Defender, and the M&P has a DeltaPoint Pro, both 6 MOA red dots. I should get to the range this week to sight them in. I had the slides done by Nameless Armament. He...

    What a nice trip!

    Condition 1 or Condition 2

    Does it have a firing pin block or other safety for condition 2 carry? I did a quick search of the manual and couldn’t find anything and the reviews I found said to carry cocked and locked. I’ve been looking at these for a while but so far haven’t handled one.

    Hypothetical: What would you carry, concealed?

    Other. When I was a young teen, I was delivering newspapers on foot, and this happened to me. It was a medium sized dog, I don’t remember the breed (early 70s). I carried a toy cap gun with me for just this situation as there were many dogs on my route. One shot from the cap gun as he got close...

    590A1 or A300 Ultima Patrol?

    If you haven't seen his videos on the A300, I would give them a watch. If I didn't already have a 1301 I would be getting an A300. TFB TV

    Maverick 88 the real deal

    I've been tempted to get one. I have a 500 20ga from the 70s and a Win 1300 defender 12ga from the 80 but I'm still tempted. 500 round test (burndown)

    Becoming a pro

    Pretty sure Jerry set the record at the new S&W facility grand opening. I had a 20K round year in 2009 practicing, shooting matches and making IDPA SSP MA (Stock Service Pistol Master). - Reloading was cheaper then. - IDPA Masters aren't quite a dime a dozen, but almost. I shot 3-gun for 3 years...

    Defensive/Competition Pistol Sight Style. What's Your Favorite?

    Same here, Warren sights from Dawson Precision. Wide gap, the eye is very good at centering the front sight and for distance you can see around the front blade to see the target if you are holding over. Such as a IDPA/USPSA target at 100 yds. I’ve been using them since about 2004 in IDPA...

    I shortened the stock on my Ruger American Ranch

    Just wondering why you shortened the stock? Is it a length of pull issue or a change in how you want to hold the rifle? I have a 5.56 Ranch and it fits me well when shooting it as I would any bolt gun. But you have me thinking about holding it more like an AR/more square to the body which would...

    Should Open Carry Be the Law of the Land in All 50 States?

    Independent of what you think is best or how you choose to carry, it surprises me that anyone here would vote for anything but freedom of choice.

    Who was your biggest influence in the firearms/shooting world?

    Watching The Rifleman from as early as I can remember. The values portrayed in that show seemed to fit how I was raised. My Father landed on the beach in WWII and while he hunted as a kid/teen, the only time I ever saw him touch a gun was when he gave me my Sears 22 (I was 10) and my Mossberg...

    •••243 win and pistol powder•••?

    I would go with 4895 and the bullet of your choosing. You can go down to 60% of the listed max. Some good info here: https://www.handloadermagazine.com/reduced-rifle-loads

    Range Report - Savage 308 sighting in and load testing.

    What you said makes sense. I'm still working on full comprehension though. I shot a different gun this morning for a break from the 308 while waiting on some needed components. I was going to ask for opinions/analysis of the two groups below but from what you said they have little value...
