    380's

    I bought a Kel-Tec P11 years ago right after they first hit the market. It was reliable but was not much fun to shoot. Shooting one or two magazines was about my limit before the web between my thumb and index finger hurt too much to continue. So, despite its fairly small size I never carried...

    High Standard 22LR target pistols?

    High Standard Pistols My .22 bullseye pistol is a High Standard Victor, made in CT. It is very accurate and has been reliable since I found the brands of ammo that it prefers. There are some differences among all those various HS models. The biggest one that I think is important is that the...

    Mice Beware!!! My new P3AT

    P3at I shot a friend's P3AT one day and bought my own the following day. They are very impressive little guns. I was amazed at how accurate they are. Using a two-hand hold from about 5 or so yards I got the group in the attached file using Federal Hydra-Shocks.... The better personal...

    Suggestions: 9mm pocket carry?

    Pocket Carry If you are a big guy with loose pants then one of the small 9's like the Kel-Tec P11 may be ok. I have had a P11 since they were first introduced 6 years or so back. I've always used either a belt holster or IWB holster. With a full standard mag of 10 rounds it is fairly hefty...

    Colt Series 70 Gold Cup

    Probably not the best choice... My bullseye .45 is a Series 70 Gold Cup. It is a very nice, classy gun that I had accurized by Clark Custom Guns in Louisiana. When I got it from my Dad it had a loose link similar to what you described. It did not affect function but probably made accuracy...

    45ACP for short barrel (Officer, Compact, 4-inch)

    My main IDPA gun is my S&W 625-3 with 3-1/2" barrel. It is a lot of fun to shoot and just a bit unusual when compared with all those semi-autos... An accurate, low-recoil load that I like and that meets the minimum IDPA power factor is 3.5 gr of Alliant American Select under the 230 gr Rainier...

    alliant american select powder

    American Select I have been using American Select for about a year for my .45 ACP and .45AR reloads. It met my need for a powder that is similar to Alliant Bullseye for my bullseye target shooting. It is cleaner than Bullseye and also a little less sharp in recoil. I used the same starting...

    Reloading help?

    I have used only Winchester WLP and Federal 150 primers for my 45 ACP reloads. The documentation that came with my Dillon RL-550B recommended that Federal primers not be used because of their relative softness. I think that is because there may be a slightly higher risk of their igniting in...

    Let's talk springs

    I bought Jerry Miculek's video of a S&W action job to see him do it and compare with the descriptions in a couple of books that I have. What others have said here is the same as his explanation of it. A person doing an action job is just polishing surfaces so that they are worn about the same...

    Best 3" revolvers?

    My favorite revolver (as well as favorite handgun) is my 625-3 with 3" barrel. I started shooting it in IDPA and enjoyed it so much that I started using it as my winter carry gun. With the full-moon clips I can reload faster than I can reload an auto with a spare mag. I like having the big...
