Since I'm an avowed Walther fan, I thought it was time to share my latest addition, an OD Green Walther PDP Compact. The Trijicon RMR is a recent addition. The ability to mount a red dot sight was the entire reason I picked up this pistol in the first place, otherwise I've been perfectly happy...
With all of the threads and interest in pistol caliber carbines lately, I decided it was finally time to sit down and do a quick write-up on one of my newest acquisitions, a Colt 6951, AKA a Colt 9mm Carbine.
The brief description of this is it's the current semi-auto version of the 9mm Colt...
When this early Ruger 77 in .308 Winchester was passed to me, it was given with the advise that it had always been very accurate. My original plan was to just feed it factory hunting ammo and not wander down the reloading rabbit hole, but my resolve broke over this past winter.
In doing...
I've very recently begun reloading for my inherited dog-leg bolt Ruger M77 in .308 Winchester. My goal is to load to approximately 2700-fps with a 150-grain class bullet. In keeping with reasonable expectations, I'm not chasing maximum velocity or every last fraction of group size reduction...
While I normally post about older pistols and revolvers, I also like and use several modern guns. One of my favorite ones happens to be the Walther PPQ, a pistol which gets asked about with some regularity, so I figured I'd post a little write-up with some pictures.
Here is my Walther PPQ M1...
OK, now that I have your attention, I present a couple of pictures of my recently acquired Savage Model 1907 in .32 ACP.
Honestly, I wasn't even looking for/didn't know I needed one of these when I came across this example. I thought my Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless was adequate for my...
I've been meaning to post some pictures of this old Colt for a while. I've wanted a Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless in .32 ACP for a long time, and to be honest this was the first one I've ever seen "in the wild". Naturally there was no way I could let it get away.
It's a 1928-vintage 1903...
If you recognize me from my thread up in General Discussions a few weeks ago, I swear I am reducing my accumulation of worldy goods. However, some things just can't be helped... :rofl:
Without further ado, and in the vein of the recent threads on other 9mm PCCs, here's a brief review of my new...
Let me start by saying this is not a "what would you do if you had these" question. This is a question of what have you done that worked well and why.
Quick back story: I've been preparing for my life to become a bit more mobile starting next spring. An ex-girlfriend and I discussed hiking the...
Basically, exactly as the title says. I've wanted some flavor of H&K pistol for quite a while, but always stepped back before taking the plunge. After some rather unpleasant recent life upheaval, I'm back at the edge wanting to jump into the world of HK.
I'm already prepared for the expensive...
I swear, I did not go to the gunshop looking to buy anything today. It was going to be a Saturday just like any other Saturday, until this little gem got put in my hands:
Yep, that's a 5-screw S&W Combat Masterpiece (pre-15) in .38 Special. Everything matches and everything looks good...
When I picked up my new CZ527FS in .223, I decided I wanted to try downloading some rounds for shooting steel plates at 50 yards. While we await snow-out to set-up the steel range in the woods, I figured it was a good time to start experimenting with loads.
Short story: it didn't take much...
I asked for input about the various 9mm pistol caliber carbines a couple of months back. And one is still on my "want it" list. But I'm also a fan of Mannlicher-style stocks, and somehow this is what followed me home recently...
It's a CZ527FS in .223 Remington. My initial impressions are...
Short version: I've decided I want another rifle for my birthday/Christmas present this year (I'm turning 35). And I think I want a Colt AR-15 in 9mm.
Long version: I have an AR-15 in 5.56 but there have been changes at my local range, so it doesn't come out as much as it used to. There's no...
In the vein of the current threads, I thought it might be fun to look at the "I always wanted one of those and am glad I finally do" guns.
For me it's my Colt Government Competition in .45 ACP. I've wanted a 1911 or "a forty-five" since before I was even a gun guy. There was just something...
I hesitate to post this after reading through the "Scout Rifle" thread below, but I'll go ahead and dive in anyway. Nobody ever said self-preservation was one of my strongest points... :eek:
This is a JM-stamped Marlin 336BL I purchased not long before the Remington takeover and factory move...
Welcome to Friday all.
I've recently come into possession of a synthetic Remington 700 ADL in 30-06. It's an early J-lock rifle with the blind magazine, I think it's 17-18 years old and I know it has about 10 rounds through it.
Anyway, I also have a Leupold FX-2 2.5x scope I'd like to attach...
I just picked up and set up this Browning T-Bolt in .22LR last week. I've wanted one ever since I read about the "reintroduction of the Browning T-Bolt" in American Rifleman over a decade ago. But they aren't something one sees very frequently in the wild, at least not around my area. Then, when...
Pretty much what the title says: I'm going to start reloading .45 ACP shortly and I'm looking for suggestions for bullets and powders to work with.
I already have HP-38 on hand and was going to start with that and some 230gr Berry's plated RN bullets. Once I get those running, I think I want to...
...where you can fit a full 650-thumper.) The 100-yard "rifle gong" is fair game any day. Put the front sight halfway up the plate, press trigger, *clack*, repeat until slide lock. Your perspective of "handgun range" changes a little with this pistol.
The only real issues I've had with the...
