We are swamped with black bears around my neck of the woods ... and after a couple of stand-offs where large bears wouldn't yield the path while I was coming from bow hunting stands at night I began carrying a Glock 29 stuffed with Underwood loads. I wouldn't feel cocky with my Glock 20 in...

This is timely. I was just talking to a distributor about special ordering a LB Premier II yesterday. I'm a form follow function guy ... pretty is as pretty does. My old service Sig P226 shoots better than my Kimber or my Colt Gold Cup... and that just don't seem right. I'm thinking no fwd...

I've had a P32 for a few years now. Absolutely reliable it is what I carry most of the time. I've got S&W 36 and 3913, Glock 29, Kimber Ultra CDP, Kahr PM9 to mention a few...and still this is what goes in my pocket...

Shooting accurately is shooting accurately. I would be far more intersted in how a gun groups than where it's point of impact is. Changing/drifting sights can fix point of impact. I have a 2022 and it is within a hair as accurate as my P226 which is the most accurate service type weapon I've...

After seeing frenzy buying of several commodities over the years I have enough to last me 6 months of my average range shooting. I found 9mm FMJ at $12.99/box50 yesterday and believe with just another month we'll see sales at $10-11 a box again and even if it settles at $12-13 it's still...

Back then I was an avid reloader and only bought ammo if it was near as cheap as I could reload...and there was a lot of military rifle caliber that met that criteria. When I got too busy to reload I got in the habit of keeping a minumum of 500 or so rds of stuff I don't shoot much and...

I can see a few reasons to like this pistol. Real sights for a start. What I've always liked about my Sig P230 is it has real sights and it's accuracy...but it's still a blowback design and my wife never liked it's "snappy-ness". The delayed blowback of the LC380 at a weight near the P230 should...

In that price range I would seriously consider a Springfield Range Officer. It's what I would get but I already have a Colt Gold Cup that fits in that accuracy niche. For myself I am saving my nickels and dimes for either a Les Baer Premier or a Kimber Super Match. For once when I hit the 8...

I think you will thoroughly enjoy that .243. I inherited a pre-64 model 70 featherweight in .243 from my dad and it puts down deer with an authority that is clearly beyond it paper ballistic limits. (I recently picked up a Ruger Youth model .243 for my 10 yr old grnddtr.)

Underwood definitely manufactures some awesome ammunition. I have been particularly happy with their 10mm offerings... it really has done wonders for the power of my G20 and my G29 at about 1/2 the cost of BB. That said I do not think I would feed my G19 a steady diet of +p+. Maybe to...

Hard to beat a Marlin 336 in 30-30. Ammo is frequently on sale around $12-14 a box of 20. If you want an inexpensive investment type gun a pre-64 model 94 is also availle in 30-30 for not a lot more than $500. My personal favorite is a Browning B-92 in .44 mag. I picked up a near perfect one a...

The VNAF (Vietnamese Air Force) issued their pilots Colt Pythons...

They drove me away with all the phone calls a few years ago. The likes of some of the anti gun politicians and their gross misrepresentations drove me back in yesterday...

I've had a concealed permit for years and colleccted an assortment of nice carry pistols:S&W mdl 60, S&W 3913, Sig P230,, Sig P225, Kimber Ultra CDP, Ruger SP101 (.357), Kahr PM9. Glock 29sf... to mention a few. What I actually carry most of the time is a dinky little KelTec P32. I mentioned...

If you want to bring that 29 to it's full potential check out Underwood http://www.underwoodammo.com/ Ammo . Their ammo meets advertised specs and is first rate quality. I use it in both my 20 and 29sf. I was going to reload but saw no point once I shot Underwood...
