Two weekends ago I shot an event using bulk M193, mixed lots and manufacturers thrown into an ammo can over the last several years. Mostly Federal and Winchester. No bullseye, just silhouettes out to a quarter mile. At 100 yards where I could see the "V" in the target center clearly, I got...
Yeah, how about not buying a Colt Series 80. They weren't even that great when new. If you just want a decent 1911, anything Colt Series 70, Springfield Ruger, Armscorp, Sig. Used Dan Wesson and Springfield custom shop is a step up from normal.
So when a lawyer picks apart the words and phrases used in a law, ignoring the supporting documentation surrounding the laws passage and defining it's intent, that's just good lawyering. But when the Average Joe does it, that's the end of the world. Does that about sum it up?
Look, all of us...
So millions of people are going to file, including attaching the required photo with the form. Then the system is backlogged and background checks are delayed. A delay longer than 88 days is an automatic denial and they have photographic evidence you are in possession of an (now) illegal SBR...
Two shots that come to mind. Both really happened, but don't ask me to do either again because I know exactly how much luck was involved.
First, a friend and I were shooting in a hayfield and he stuck a 12 gauge shell between two haybales. I slung up in prone and put a .22 bullet through the...

I have one that's almost 20 years old. Well worth the sixty bucks.
I bought one of P.O.'s single stack, single action pistols over a decade ago. Only to discover I should have bought another Springfield. Absolute junk, to the point of being unsafe. Hammer follow because the disconnector was out of spec. Didn't catch it prior to purchase because it only...
One man's opinion:
Your first accessory needs to be a light. Bright enough to blind someone at the muzzle end but not bright enough to blind you with splashback.
Whether irons or dot or holographic, make sure the sight is visible in all light levels and instinctive to use. CapnMac's suggestion...
As others have said, there is overlap between competitive shooting and training for the real world. I've done both and enjoyed both. Some people play the game for the sake of the game and enjoy it for it's own sake. Nothing wrong with that, but it won't lend itself to good training and...
I like 1:9 for varmint guns and 1:7 for everything else. Admittedly most people with 1:7 barrels capable of stabilizing heavier bullets over longer ranges aren't going to do it. I don't drive my car at 140mph, either. But it has the capability, even if I don't have the skill.
Most shooters...
I have never had to fire a shot as a civilian. Hope I never do. But I know two things for certain. First, taking a life, justified or not, takes a toll. The price depends on circumstance. But to think there is no price to be paid in your mind and in your soul is naive. But we seldom get to...
MecGar, Metalform, Wilson and Tripp. If buying 8 round mags, do not buy flush fitting mags, as has been mentioned by others already. I'm a fan of 7 rounds and just carry a spare.
Take the .380ACP off your list. It became an obsolete cartridge about ten years ago when the engineers figured out how to make 9mm handguns even smaller than they were before.
A 9mm (except for Hi-Point, which I will suggest you avoid also,) will be a tilting breech compared to a blowback, so...
Was visiting my folks several years ago, saw a sign for "Something-or-other Sports - Guns and Ammo"
So I went in.
And was fairly tossed out on my ear when I asked about anything that wasn't high end shotgun. No rifle powders, no bullets, no primers except #209, you get the idea.
jstert is right, I used to travel with firearms often and it wasn't a problem even 20 years ago. Know the rules, follow the rules, have a printed copy of the rules for the airline you're travelling because some of the employees may not know the rules. Only got hassled one time, many years ago...
Not something previously done, but something he is currently doing. Pacing the room pointing a firearm at people. You conveniently omitted my statement that he was, on video, beginning another trip around the room.
If you watch a copy of the video that isn't chopped up with idiotic chattering by talking heads, the perp wasn't :just leaving". He was pacing back and forth, circling the room erratically. What might have been can never be known for certain. But we can know he wasn't "just leaving" by video...
And for what it's worth, the Walther is nothing like the GSG pistols. The frame and ejector are fixed to the frame, not floating with the slide. Other than no barrel link, it strips and reassembles like a "real" 1911. I haven't done a detail strip yet, just field strip for cleaning..
Well, I'm back.
I had made up my mind to buy a Ruger 22/45
Except someone gave me gift cards for a gun shop that had a Walther 1911 on sale.
I'm impressed. I had expected mediocre performance, given the generally low opinion of the .22 caliber 1911 types. Instead, I went through somewhere...
25-plus years ago I was driving down the road with a friend to the gun shop. He was going to pick out his first handgun. Something laying on the side of the road. Turned out to be a P89 with 2 mags in the factory case. As far as I know, he still has it.
I did lose a gun for several years but...
