A couple weeks ago, we went down to visit my grandparents and I used my grandfather's reloading equipment to load 500 rounds of .45 ACP. I used tumbled once fired brass, HSM 230 gr FMJ-FP plated bullets (only bullet I could get more than 100 of locally), 4.8 grs of Titegroup and Federal 150GM...

For Christmas, we gave my 4 year old a pink cricket rifle. She hasn't gotten to shoot it yet, because the LOP is still about 3" too much for her. She's shown interest in my firearms since she could talk, and I've been taking opportunities to teach her about proper safety and things. I've been...

I have a 21 year old brother. I take him out shooting when I can. However he can't hit anything. He can shoot clay pigeons with his 20 ga pump gun if he "ignores the front sight". The only pistols I have are a pair of 1911's in .45, a 5" and a 3.5" officer's model. Both have the Hogue...

Just finished up my old (we think early 50's) Marlin 81dl. The finish on the stock was a horrible orangish hue that covered the grain of the wood. It had a bent up v-notch rear sight and the front sight I think was supposed to be a miniscule brass bead that no longer reflected any light. It...

Be forewarned, this is going to be a lengthy post..... Several years ago I traded away my Glock 23 to a local cop in exchange for his used (6 mo of duty carry and qualifications) Para SSP. While the Glock was a great gun, it's just not for me. I never got used to it. On the other hand I've...

Went to my gun shop today and picked up my Rock Island Officer's 1911 that I ordered with a couple of Wilson 47DOX mags. No pictures as the gun is still at the shop waiting for my night sights to be installed and the 'smith to go over it and do a "fluff and buff" treatment on the internals...

I recently traded my Glock 23 for an almost new Para SSP. I hate the plastic grips that come from the Para factory, and I wasn't a fan of the plastics from ERGO grips either. The ERGO's were nice and grippy, but ugly. I'm not a fan of plastic on a 1911 anyways. I just got my new Dymondwood...

I recently started receiving emails from Front Sight, advertising their training programs. Has anybody here had experience with their programs? I can't find any threads about them via the search engine and their advertising makes me kind of wary and faintly wierded out. Especially when the...

I have two daughters, one is 8 months old and the other turned 2 a few weeks ago. My older daughter usually watches me as I get dressed and go out. She sees me holstering my carry gun before I leave and has taken to pointing at it and saying "Daddy's gun, pretty!" Pretty being her adjective...

I've been reading the forums here on THR for a long time, and finally joined up figuring that this would be among the best places to ask this question. I've had a Winchester 190 since I was 12. It has a lot of sentimental value for me, being my first gun and all. I don't know how old it is...
