I have a dilema. I stepped up and decided to buy a model 41 a few months ago at a local store that just happened to have one. I bought the 7" barrel. I'm all excited...take some ammo down to the range I frequent..and commence to shooting. There are a few lessons that I learned that day...

I just purchased a NEW S&W Model 41 (22 cal.) I don't know WHY I bought it, except I had a hankering for a quality .22....so I bought it! I do have a question though. For all of you that may own one of these...what ammo can you successfuly shoot out of this thing without jamming? I've...

Looked in a few places for 124g FMJ ammo for reloading and did not have much luck..but stumbled upon Widners reloading web site and ordered 2900 Hornady 124g FMJ for $410 with free shipping...no tax. Shipping was VERY fast, Got it in less than 5 days! As I type this thread..there was still...

I have a question that I know involves some variables...but folks..I need some advice. I have three 9mm pistols. SIG P229 Combat, CZ-75 SP-01 and a S&W 9mmc. I've had them for a while...and hardly EVER shoot them. There is a reason for that. Back in the day, when I used to buy my practice...

Just a small thread to tell about my experiences with the new Springfield XDs that I just purchased 2 weeks ago. I have a growing collection of guns that I have purchased over the past three years..some were designated for carry...some destined to range duty only. I love 1911's, but they are...

Bear with me guys!! I made a trade with a friend over the weekend. I traded him a Kimber CDP PRO II 45 acp for a Sis Sauer P226 Combat 9mm. I did NOT like the Kimber..so to me..it was an acceptable trade! His was in A+ condition..and mine was in 75% condition. He also had a set of Hogue...

I'm having a mental crisis here. I have a Les Baer Premier II Super Tac. I love it!! Accurate..dependable!! However...... I have been in search of a NICE 1911. I had the chance to view two high end 1911's yesterday. Ed Brown Classic and a Wilson Combat Protector. Both with 5"...

Up until 1 1/2 years ago...I had only two guns. Ruger MK I .22 and a S&W 686 38/357. I bought them in or around the mid to late 80's. Never shot them for YEARS!! 1 1/2 years ago..I got heavy into the shooting sports and have been able to get a few hand guns and rifles. I also got into...

I just sold a rifle to a friend of mine...and the proceeds of the sale were eating a hole in my pocket..so I decided to buy a little Ruger LCR 38 with CT grips. Took it down and test fired about 50 rounds of 125g rounds that I loaded. Pretty good little shooter. :neener: I arrived home and...

Ya know..guns and ammo ain't cheap! I have invested way too much money over the past year in guns and supplies. I enjoy shooting..but it can be a drain..monetarily. I went to a local gun store a few weeks ago and was browsing around..trying to see if I could come up with a good reason to...

At the local range/club where I shoot, I took a class to beocome an R.O. With this position, you get the benefit of coming to the range after hours to shoot. It was saturday evening..around 8:45PM. I'm bored... It's dark...a little windy...and again..it's dark!!! I get to the range...try out...

This always happens when I play hooky from work. It was kind of slow..so I took off early from work and decided to go to the club and do some shooting! All guns are clean...lots of ammo..plenty of targets...it's gonna be a great afternoon! :D I'll work my way up to the point in a minute. I...

I've read posts from guys that work at gun shops complaining about the stupidity of a select group of customers. The customers that act like they want to out wit the dealer or salesperson and make up facts as they go. You see them at gun shows, gun shops and all over. But you know...that...

I have designated my Glock model 22. 40 cal as my pimp gun. :cool: It lays with some very nice 1911's and beautiful revolvers. I have never really liked the Glock..basically because I suck in accuracy with it. :banghead: But..I still kept searching for the key to getting accuracy from this...

Bought one of these bad boys a few weeks ago..loaded a ton of ammo with it...love it...BUT! The amount of ammo you can load is in direct porportion to how much time that you have to screw with the priming system. THAT is the bulk of my reloading time! They say that a primer cannot get...

Just looking for an opinion! I'm on the edge. What do ya all think about the S&W M&P VTAC .40 cal? The gun is a good gun..I know. My question is on the color! It is supposed to be "Earth" color on the frame..and no matter what they call the slide color..it looks gold. Like...gold leaf...

I shoot a lot! I mean...stupid a lot! I get off work early on friday...go shoot 400-500 rounds...then many times will return on sunday for the same drill. 1000 rounds a weekend. There are times I'll shoot less..but I can get carried away! I can buy reloads from a reputable business in this...

I just bought a Dillon RL550B a couple weeks ago and have turned into a re-loading obsessed recluse!! I've got enough ammo to fend off a small Ethiopian army! However...I have me some real questions...cuz' I am a tad confused. Here we go.! 1. Is a 230g lead round nose more accurate than...

I have an RCBS powder measure that is either defective..or I'm horribly dense. I was loading either 9mm or 40 cal loads the other day and decided to use Blue Dot powder. I had it..so why not use it. Is it me...my machine..or what? Every time on the down stroke of the charging handle, the...

First...I am a 1911 addict! I love em'!! However..there are a couple questions that I have. #1 Why are Para and Taurus looked down upon by the gun community? Is it the dependability.., reputation, or is it just the snobbery? Are they the Yugo of 1911's? #2 Even though the Ruger...
