Hey guys, Just wanted to share a few pearls of wisdom on the Ruger AR556. This post pertains to the standard model, and not the MPR. I took off the front sight, replaced it with a low profile gas block, and put on a Foxtrot Mike 15" free float rail and a Magpul VFG. I also replaced the stock...

Like the title reads, I bought a Beretta M9 today. My dad has always wanted one, so I got one for his birthday next week. Are there any tips you guys have for them? We're it for my use, at the outset I would maintain it like I do my SIG handguns, since the rails are full length and the frame is...

I'm stuck at the airport for a few hours, so I'm busying myself with things I've been meaning to order for my G26 and 17. I want to replace the flat slide stop levers with the extended one found on the G34/35. My 17 is a Gen 4 and my 26 is a recent production Gen 3. Is this the part I'm...

I had some Trijicon HDs put on my Glock 17 today. Haven't used them yet but they look good so far!

Obviously rifles can be picky in terms of accuracy. It's been rare in my experience to find pistol rounds that just weren't up to snuff. One time I didn't have any 9mm loaded so I got some aguila. Couldn't hit any tighter than 5" with my 226 and my G17. I'm shooting tomorrow and I'm low on...

I shot a smiley face. If you've ever tried, you know how tricky it is, even only 5 yards away. Our brains are so programmed to shoot for center. Anybody ever done this?

I bought my dad a PMR-30 for christmas, but I can't find any .22 WMR ammo. If any of you have any to spare, I'd like to buy it from you. Name your price and quantity. Walkalong, feel free to move this if you see fit. Not trying to step on toes.Thanks guys!

My grandfather passed away in October and I got some of his guns he had. This one was a revolver I had last seen as a kid, and he said it was his grandfather's gun that got passed along. I'm guessing somebody here can tell me about this gun.

Some of you here know that I'm a SIG guy. I've only ever bought SIGs, but I got a wild hair last month and decided to try out a glock. I got a Gen 4 17, since I had done well with my dad's gen 3s. With the medium backstrap, I was getting slide bite like you would not believe. So I put on the...

I've been away from competing for awhile, so I went out and shot a few drills, practiced some shooting on the move, and all that stuff. Here's my "El Presidente". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7wQciG187A&feature=youtu.be Not bad for a 9 month hiatus! :cool:

So I was cruising around on youtube, and stumbled on several video posts from James Yeager. This one I thought was the funniest. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsxdk1V8i-M&feature=relmfu Now, we all know that it isn't unheard of for 9mm to operate in the 30-32k psi range, and .40 has a...

Alright, question for all of you FFLs out there. I recently bought a gun on GB and had it sent to a local shop which is near where I work. It was delivered yesterday around 11 AM EST, and I never got a call from them to say it was in. So today on lunchbreak, I went in to see what was up...

Yesterday I went to wal mart to get some .45 ammo, and most of it was gone except for a 100 round box of Remington UMC 230 grain JHPs. I've used them in my 220 before and they worked just fine, and they're priced better than the 50 round boxes. So I got it. Fast forward a few hours, and I'm...

A gun shop near me had several P220 magazines, none of which were NIB. Two of them were in very good shape and identical in appearance. They are also 7 rounders. They did not have any particular branding on them that would turn me away. It didn't say Pro Mag. It said "SIGARMS P220 .45...

I had been looking for months for the right P220 to come along. I wanted one of the older, non-railed, stamped slide pistols. The trouble with that is finding one that's in good shape. I found this one on gunbroker and got it into my hands for a little over 500. The finish is in pretty good...

Reloading it was a little tricky, but not the demon it's made out to be. I worked up from 12.6 to 13 grains of AA#9 with a 124 grain x-treme flat nose. The accuracy was kinda crappy until I got to 12.9/13 grains. Then they grouped into a single hole. Flash and blast was impressive. I got the...

I got a factory .357 sig barrel for my 229 2 weeks ago and finally had time to try it. I may never put the .40 back in it! It was way more fun and shot very well. I had never fired the caliber before. It was REALLY loud. If you've been thinking you might want a .357 sig, you should get...

So I got a factory .357 barrel for my SIG, and it has the 6/8 sights like all their .40s do. I have heard that shooting the regular 125 357 sig rounds in a converted .40 causes the POI to drop a few inches at 25 yards. With that said, I know that heavier bullets for caliber will print higher...

Here's what I came up with- .40 S&W 180 gr XTP, 5.4 gr Universal, OAL 1.128. New R-P cases, CCI small pistol primer. I don't have the numbers on it yet but all seems good so far.

I got two boxes of Winchester white box .40 S&W 180 grain full metal jackets. I had a gift card and got it because I didn't have anything else I needed in the store, and I could reuse the brass. When I unboxed it and went to load it up, I noticed something. The cases were roll crimped! The...
