Weigand mounts and ultradots, have them on all my revolvers from the s&w 460 to the ruger gp100, they work great. I usually use a uncle mikes holster and modify it for the red dot, cheap and easy.

Elmer Keith designed his Keith swc back in 1928, he wasn't shy about how or why he designed it. His articles aren't hard to find and are very interesting reading.

As others have mentioned, electronic earmuffs, situational awareness and having a concealed pistol. I rarely shoot at ranges as I shoot big bores and use bullet traps, hard to use on a organized range. I like to recycle my lead, don't like putting 300,400 grain bullets down range and not getting...

The problem with the ar pistols, at least for me is they keep multiplying. Started off with a couple 300 B and then got a 450 bush and a 50 wulf. Great truck guns, home defense, range toy.

The 1886 26" barrel in 45/70 definitely looks sweet. Would like to see one in person, if it's as good as the photo, my wallet might be lighter.

I was on a Facebook reloading page last weekend, I think it was. Another member mentioned midway had cci small pistol primers. I checked and they did, put a couple in the cart and checked the hazmat cost, very reasonable, and then said the heck with it. I got a good supply, maybe next year I'll...

I like our local gun show, it's usually the same guys, year in, year out. The same guys I see at the range all the time, so not much bubblegum is foisted off. A local guy who runs a ffl out of his home is there every year with tons of powder and primers, at great prices. Always stock up. I...

The 6.5 grendel is a great choice. Lots of different bullets and powder to load up and find the "one load". And then the third and fourth and..........

Not obsessed, was raised around guns and hunting. Now I enjoy unloading them and then reloading them about equal. So hunting, plinking, target shooting. What sketter skelton called woods loafing, up in the woods hiking around with a pistol, last fall I would go to my makeshift range, working up...

My lgs carries hornady and another brand in various bullet weights and styles. More importantly to me they stock a nice variety of powders and projectiles that work with the grendel. I wouldn't wait around waiting for one to be declared king, get a grendel and go shooting. I like mine.

Lucky for me I don't have to chose just one. I like both, own several in each caliber, reload for both. I guess I'm just not decisive, got the same problem with the 450 bushmaster, 458 socom and the 50 Beowulf.

I have a 44mag, 7.5 srh and a 45 colt, 4.2 redhawk. I like the redhawk but I like the super redhawk a lot more. Much better trigger, and soaks up those 300 grain hunting loads. And I like the way the srh looks.

My blackhawks and redhawk and especially my super redhawk are both attractive and iconic. But it's ironic that they'll take load after load of ruger only that will reduce their competition to smouldering ruins.

If I buy anything from BCA or PSA I buy it direct from them, when I go to their web sites I log into my account and everything I've ever bought is listed, makes proof of purchase easy. I've read enough warnings on the gun forums about out of spec parts that I examine any purchases very closely...

Their web site says the brand is Presma, a Google search reveals that it's a company based in southern California and the products are designed and manufactured in the east. Bear creek arsenal sells similar products for a little more, their web site claims made in the USA.
