    Get a G26 to go with my G19 and G17?

    I owned a G26 before and got rid of it to raise funds for reloading equipment. Now, I'm considering getting one again. Guess I miss it. The G19 conceals pretty well. But, not as well as the G26 would IWB. When hunting, I typically carry my G23 and don't have to worry about concealment. But, for...

    Vortex Viper PST or Sightron SIII?

    Looking at the Vortex Viper PST FFP 4-16x50 or one of the two new Sightron scopes for 2011: SIII 3.5-10x44 LR MDCM or SIII 3.5-10x44 LR IRMOA. I'll be using it for hunting and long range targets on a Savage 10 PC in .308. Which would you go with and why?

    Relaoding rifle rounds - equipment needed?

    I've been reloading .45ACP for awhile on a Dillon 550b. I understand that most recommend a single stage press for rifle rounds. I'm interested in reloading for 308 and 223. So, I'm considering getting a single stage press. What all additional equipment do I need for reloading rifle rounds...

    Tikka T3 vs. Tikka T3 Lite in 308

    Any difference in performance between the two? Obviously, the Lite will weigh less and be easier to carry in the field. Any reason to pick the T3 over the T3 Lite?

    What rifle and or scope, if any, do I need to get?

    I'm primarily a hunter. The longest kill shot was with a Remington 700 ADL chambered in .270 with a Leupold VX1 3-9x40 scope at a little over 300 yds on a big boar moving across a wheat field. Most of my hunting is done 200 yds on in. Game includes hogs, whitetail deer, coyotes. Haven't been...

    Remington 700 - change trigger?

    I was reading about some issues with the Remington 700 trigger actions failing and causing the rifle to discharge without pulling the trigger. I have a Remington 700 ADL that I bought in 2003. I've never had it discharge without me pulling the trigger. Should I still look at changing out...

    Kahr PM9 front sight loose - options?

    While at the range today, I found that the front sight on my Kahr PM9 is very loose. It is one of the early models with the factory fixed sights. Should I take this opportunity to upgrade the sights? If so, suggestions? 1. XS Big Dot 2. Other night sights - which one? 3. Just loctite it...

    Holster for CZ75 SA?

    A friend owns a CZ 75B SA. She said the holsters for CZ75B DA/SA don't fit her CZ 75 SA. Anyone have recommendations for a holster maker who makes one for a CZ 75 SA?

    Truck gun thoughts?

    I currently own a Para Ordnance GI Expert that works great and I got it at a very good price. It eats commercial ammo and my reloads too. Thinking of using it as my "truck gun". I also have my eye on a Glock 30SF as a possible truck gun. Which would you choose?

    Attributes of a home defense handgun?

    Assuming you put in the time to familiarize yourself with your selected handgun, what attributes are important to you when selecting a home defense handgun? I'm not looking for a caliber war. More interested in trigger type, round capacity, type of sights, handgun type (revolver vs...

    Polymer .45ACP vs. alloy framed 1911?

    Weight wise, are polymer framed .45ACP's going to be lighter than alloy framed 1911's in Commander or full size. I realize the polymer .45ACP pistols will likely have higher capacity so, the bullets will likely add to the weight. I love my 1911's. But, they do get heavy to carry around...

    Load to duplicate .45ACP hardball?

    Being new to reloading, I've been reading about various loads for 230 gr. FMJ but, by design, they give ranges from min to max. If I wanted to duplicate a hardball load for purposes of "breaking in" a new 1911, what load do I need to work up using Bullseye powder? A buddy said hardball has...

    Non-glock .45ACP and reloads?

    I'm starting to reload. From what I understand, shooting reloads in a Glock is not recommended and definitely not lead bullets. I'm looking for a polymer framed .45ACP that is ok to shoot reloads and lead bullets. I have several 1911's so, please don't suggest them as they aren't polymer...

    Ordering a Dillon - Brian Enos or Dillon?

    Which company should I order from? Does it matter? I'll be initially setting up for .45ACP. Will get the dies and conversion kit for 9mm later.

    Dillon 550b and two calibers

    I'm looking at getting into reloading and plan to reload 9mm and .45ACP initially. A buddy recommends the Dillon 550B. I understand when you order, you can specify one caliber and they will set up for that. But, if I want another caliber, what do I need besides dies and recipes to do another...

    First Impressions are usually right!

    I was at the Dallas Market Hall gun show this morning intending to sell a Glock 26. Not a minute after I enter the show, a guy comes up to me asking about the Glock and price. I told him my price and he countered with an offer about $25 less than my asking price. Since I'd just gotten there...

    Selling/Trading to get high end 1911?

    I have several handguns that get little range time. I'm thinking of selling/trading up to get a high end 1911 like a Les Baer, Wilson Combat, Ed Brown. The ones I would sell/trade are all solid handguns in their own right. That is what makes the decision tough. Glocks in 9 and 40, Sig...

    Best .45ACP handgun for less than $1400?

    Got the itch for another .45ACP handgun. Currently have two: Sig Sauer P220 Kimber Pro Raptor II Most likely looking for a full size as it would be a house gun and range gun with possible carry while in the field while hunting. I own Glocks in other calibers. Also own an STI Trojan in...

    Traded for a Ruger m77 MKII 30-06

    I traded a DeHaan 12 ga sxs shotgun for the Ruger M77 MKII with a Redhead 3x9x40 scope plus $100. How did I do? I think I will change out the scope as I don't think the Redhead scope is very good quality. Agree?

    Recommend a bolt action rifle in 30-06

    I haven't purchased a bolt action rifle in quite awhile. My current deer rifle is a Remington 700 ADL Synthetic in .270Win. Toying with the idea of getting another hunting rifle in 30-06. It will be used for deer, hogs and very occasional elk trips. I like the looks of wood but wonder if the...
