    New gun, so far so good

    Picked up a H&K vp9 last week. I already have a p-30 but I did not have a full sized striker fired gun. I liked the idea that the vp9 used the same mags as my p-30. I bought the LE version ( night sights & three mags), that gives me a total of seven mags. With only a hundred rounds through it...

    Need some help with my 308 loads

    I picked up a semi auto 308 last fall and I've been having some trouble getting it to function reliably. The gun is back at the factory for the second time right now. The problem I'm having is after about 20 or so rounds it turns into a single shot ( FTF, FTE and brass sticks in the chamber )...

    FTF

    Is there a more common than not reason for the bolt on an "A10" style rifle, to not chamber the next round? 20 round P MAGs.

    New gun first shots

    I just picked up my Colt LE901 from the FFL last night. I bought it on Gun Broker for a fair price. I should have researcched my purchase a little better, I thought I was going to get the conversion block, buffer and spring with the gun. There were some scrathes on the bottom side of the barrel...

    "you don't need another gun"

    That's a quote from my 82 yr old mother and one that I'm sure my wife agrees with. The reason for this post is, I disagree, the only thing is, I'm not sure which one should be next. I started shooting in March of 2010 @ 52yrs of age. This is what I have so far (in order of purchase). H&K P30...

    tumbler media

    I know this has been covered but I thought I would post my observation's. I bought a bag of "lizzard litter" Zilla ground walnuts and added to it the usual amount of Dillon case polish. The walnut media works quite a bit faster than the corn cob. It got the brass just as shiny but the color is a...

    rookie mistake

    I was getting my 650 dillion ready to start loading 223, then I started running very low on 9mm. I switched everything back to 9mm and started loading. Long story short, I loaded 80 rounds of 9mm w/ sm rifle primers. Not realizing the error, I took the first ten rounds out to the yard range...

    CCW gun accuracy

    Ok , so for my fifth time shooting IPDA I decided to shoot my EDC gun. The previous two times I shot my new commander size 1911 and the first two times my H&K p-30. I was reasonably pleased with the results ( speed & accuracy ) but when I ran my EDC gun, not so much . I carry a Kahr PM 9. I know...
