    Anybody put better sights on pocket pistols

    I differ from some here (who am I kidding? we're all of our own mind). But to me a "pocket pistol" isn't something that warrants sights at all. It's better than a knife at close quarters. I'd be more worried about the grip and controlling the recoil due to lousy grip. Had one firearm where...

    Help me decide please.

    IIRC, my night sights shoot POA on my XD, but it's been a while since I shot it. If not, nothing a file can't fix, but that would be tricky on night sights, you don't want to cut into the tritium capsule or weaken the case. Should say on the catalog. They always make adjustable sighting...

    New gun owners vs. buying more guns?

    I know people on both sides of that fence. Lots of new gun owners around and also a buddy that I work with who just picked up 6 new AR lower recievers recently.

    Compromises on gun control that we might accept. No, really, any good ideas?

    Hmm, not sure if I worded my point poorly or if some threads here have strayed. I wasn't speaking "down the road" and I know some of you think of that as short sighted, but nobody ever came to inspect how I spent my pell grant or my student loans. I can assure you that not 100% of them went to...

    Compromises on gun control that we might accept. No, really, any good ideas?

    I posted a message on facebook the other day in response to a discussion that I was having with some guys out here in the oil patch about gun control. What we give up when these so-called "gun control" legislations come up, etc. Thinking that instead of complaining about what's on the table...

    How do you like to reload? Marathon sessions or fit it in whenever?

    I haven't been doing a ton of shooting lately (working too much) so I haven't had the need or desire to sit at the bench most of the time (when I am actually home). I will get and urge and act on it. Sometimes, when I get enough brass, I will spend a day with the tumbler running in the...

    Laser sights: improvement or crutch?

    I hate them! That said, if you like them then they are for you. In either case, they can be wonderful for dryfire practice and noticing problem areas with your shooting. As with anything else in any hobby, don't mind the fuzz. Figure out YOUR plan. How will they benefit YOU. Try in...

    New Here!

    The small revolver route (38 spl) is probably your best bet, IMHO. Once your choices allow a 400-500 dollar gun, glocks are reliable semi-autos that are a fair price. 9mm is the way to go if you are on a budget with a semi. Think about how you are planning on carrying also. If you wear a...

    Ever re-use/build something with an ammo can/box/crate?

    Thought about using a small rifle cartridge holder or a pellet tin as a pocket kit. Not a survival kit per-se, just something to keep useful stuff organized in my pocket. So far happy with my altoids smalls. Long as I got toothpicks and duct tape I'm good for work. When I saw you post I was...

    Why own more 1 of the same model?

    Someone mentioned cars... I HAVE actually thought about getting a second 350Z since I race mine and I would like to have something nice to drive while the racecar is in the shop or if I have a breakdown at the track. Everyone in my household loves the little HP22a and that's the one they grab...

    In a quandry...

    New job present to yourself? I went through this in January when my last check came from my previous company. I wanted to get a Springer TRP but of course, the one time I go in there with money it's gone! Picked up my kimber procarry II and I've never looked back. I'm not a 1911 fanboy, but...

    General purpose 22LR Rifle

    Okay, I'll bite. Savage would be another one you could go with (supposedly better accuracy) or mossberg. OR... http://henryrepeating.com/rifle-lever-action.cfm There is a special place in my heart for a little lever action 22. or you could just stick with the 10/22. I love mine...

    FREAKED OUT by guns

    Freaked out, no. Little nervous???? First time I shot my -06 First time I shot a 45acp First time I shot my daddy's 12ga That's about it. Freaks some of my friends out from time to time if they walk in and I have a freshly cleaned 1911 laying on the coffee table in front of the TV...

    What is considered "good groupings" for handguns?

    Read about half a page of replies, not going to waste my time as I've seen this discussion enough to have an idea what the rest of them say. In case you are still looking for input, when I was new to handguns (XD .45ACP), my first target at 10 yards looked worse than a shotgun pattern. The...

    CCI Minimag solids on the cheap?

    hmm, yea, can't remember what I sprang for my last box of 555s from wallyworld, I seem to remember looking at .03 per round but I can't verify that. Interesting though. Prolly gonna do a LOT of shooting when I get home (wife will be in NY when I get in, hehehe) so I may think about upgrading...

    CCI Minimag solids on the cheap?

    100 rnds for .07 and 500 for .06 per round, winchester superX is a penny cheaper. I remember the gap being somewhat larger last year.

    CCI Minimag solids on the cheap?

    Another thread got me curious to look up some prices on ammotogo.com and something just didn't quite look right to me. I'm seeing CCI minimag solids for the same price as other bulk ammo, about .05/rnd. Did the cheapies get more expensive or have minimags just gotten so popular that the price...

    9mm Brass

    I wish I was home right now I got a couple small buckets of the stuff, cleaned up and resized I could sell to ya. Probably be back at the house in a week or two, There's maybe 1000-2000 mixed pieces, sorted by what "stage" of the process they are in. I don't have any 9mms but it gives me...

    Should I ditch my 30.06?

    mmm, managed recoil You know. I bought a couple boxes of these last year and took them down to the range and my group sizes jumped from 1.5-2MOA to 4-6" groups at 100 yards. (2MOA groups were rem corelokt). My rifle doesn't care for them accuracywise, not sure if this will be a concern for...

    Should I ditch my 30.06?

    Two things that you should never ever get rid of. A good gun and a good guitar. You will regret it for the rest of your life. 30-06 really isn't too recoil heavy, and I believe that your kid will grow into it before you know it. I just got a few questions for you. How much do you expect...
