    Starling Shooting

    Oh the memories with my dad's JC Higgins single shot 22 shooting starlings. We were not farmers but surrounded by diary farms. That was my marksmanship training shooting those sorry rascals. Yes they would try to get into our eves also. I shot them out of every window in the house, walking...

    Muzzle crowning.

    I'm with others on this. Knowing how bad the accuracy is there is something mechanically wrong here. A new crown on this barrel is like putting a band-aid on a sucking chest wound. Didn't it slow down the bleeding... well a little bit. But there are other issues to address. Maybe looking at...

    What's your preferred every day carry?

    Armoredman, Understood if that is your experience. That is why this is a public forum and we all get to report on our experiences. I know what I measured and the very predictable outcome was with that pistol. I could take loaded ammo and measure the case length with a set of calipers and...

    What's your preferred every day carry?

    If you don’t mind me jumping in… My best buddy bought a P10C when they came out in 2016 or 17?? He loved the ergo and I’ve shot it some also. Accuracy and reliability is solid. But the reason he moved away from it was the CIP spec chamber tolerances. We reload and a CIP spec chamber only...

    A spare reload if needed

    I’ve seen all the arguments, statistics, opinions. To me practicing doing a good reload isn’t difficult and doesn’t have to cost anything. It can be done with dry practice at home. A spare mag costs 20-40 dollars plus ammo. It cheap easy insurance that doesn’t take a lot of work or money...

    IWB Holster Design

    If it works for you! I personally carry modified AIWB at 10:30 position being a lefty. My holster has a wing that extends around to my left hip, but the mounting hardware is setup like yours on the opposite side so it doesn't get in the way of my zipper or belt buckle, That large extension...

    Texas progressive 12 ga shotgun press handle won't pull

    I Google it and found several pictures. Very similar to a MEC 600 single stage press. I'm guessing there isn't anything mechanical in the press that I locks it up without having a shell in it. It's a simple single stage. But, that is just a guess. I'm thinking more along the lines on Kudo...

    What WON'T you carry and why?

    I keep it simple... I standardized on the M&P platform about 2008/2009 and still carry that setup to this day. Familiarity of ergonomics is my main thought for defensive purposes. I train and can run and speedload my revolvers pretty well. But I never carry as primary ever for reasons stated...

    how did it start for you?

    Raised in the country and back then hunting/fishing season wasn't a sport. What was killed or netted was cleaned and eaten. Walked miles in the footsteps of my dad and/or grandfather in smallgame season. My dad shot ATA registered trap in late 60s early 70's so my job as a little kid was to...

    Pistol light out past the muzzle?

    WML AND handheld lights require proper training during low light range time. There is no substitute. Take your Chapstick out of your pocket and dab your fingertip on the tip and coat the lense thoroughly. It will take secs to clean your lense with a tissue. Done it a few hundred times.

    Beloved 30-06 Anyone?

    Love my 30-06's. There are rifles with better numbers for velocity, drop, etc with more and less recoil. But I killed my first deer with a 1917 Enfield that my dad sporterized. I now have my grandfather's sporterized 1917 Enfield that between him and I have killed a ton of deer with. I...

    Buckshot/Slug Choke

    Based on my personal testing and watching many patterns of buckshot and groups from slugs in training classes, I think this is a pretty good rule of thumb: 12ga: Imp Cyl is probably going to be you best bet. 20ga buckshot: mod is usually the best with the smaller BS sizes in 20. BUT...

    What good are .22 LR shotshells?

    In 2019 my dad had a stroke, so for several months I lived at his place up in VA. The carpenter bees were in full assault mode on his log house. So I drove down to LGS and they had Win ratchet shells that look like 22WMR cases crimped down, and the CCI withe the blue translusent shot capsule...

    Who abuses their nice shotguns (Benelli/berretta/$1200-$2000)

    Upland bird hunting has always been my favorite form of hunting. To hunt like that with a good dog is icing on the cake. My dad and I have walked many miles after grouse over the years. We lost dad in early January of this year. Another Vietnam veteran gone. So these pictures kinda hit...

    Who abuses their nice shotguns (Benelli/berretta/$1200-$2000)

    Love my 870's, but my goto everything shotgun is my SBEII. Primarily bought it for ducks. After shooting it now for 15 yrs??, i don't use 3 1/2" shells for anything. They just don't pattern as well as a good 3" shell. Even when we go to the Pamlico sound in layout boats after the large sea...
