    Vega Holsters?

    I have a Vega holster for a PPK I bought about ten years ago. It is well-made, fits the gun extremely well, and I still use it here and there. IIRC, I paid just under 50 bucks for it. Probably one of my better holster purchases. It's what they call a "Three-position" holster with belt...

    Deal on Canik S-120

    I put a set of CZ75 compact rubber grips on my C100. Fit like a glove and greatly improved the grippiness (? Is that a word?) of the gun. The hard plastic grips that came on the gun were so slick I decided not to even fire the gun until I got some decent grip panels. Walter

    Turkish Guns... Am I Going Down the Wrong Path??

    I hunted for months for a CZ 75 PCR and couldn't find one anywhere. Even CZ USA had them on back-order. I ended up buying a Tri-Star Canik 55 C-100. It cost about half what the PCR lists for. $325 vs. $599. On paper the only difference in the two guns is the price, and the decocker. At...

    14-15 Feb Ft Worth Gun show

    Haven't been to a gun show at Will Rogers in maybe 10 years. Do they charge for parking now? I remember reading something about the city wanting a new way to gouge shoppers, so they talked about charging for parking for all the events at the Will Rogers complex. I always enjoyed the Will...

    Thoughts on price of Sporterized Mauser???

    Unless the Mauser is really something special, either looks-wise or super accurate, I think $450 is a bit much. You can get a new Remington 700ADL with a cheap scope already mounted, or a Savage Axis, scoped, for around $450. That said, I have a sporterized Model 98 Mauser I wouldn't part...

    How can some comapnys rip off the designs of others

    Actually, if I understand it correctly, it's the other way around. A "Patent Pending" mark on a product lets everyone know that the patent has been applied for, and until it is either issued or denied, you best keep your hands off. Any infringement on "Patent Pending" products could result in...

    Maybe a dumb question...

    I once bought a bulk box of 500 rounds of 9mm luger from a buddy just because he offered me a good deal on it. I did not own a 9mm pistol then, but I bought one just last year, and that ammo is still perfectly shootable. And the price was right. Walter

    Veterans Day - what did you carry?

    I was a "grunt" Marine in I Corps, RVN in 1969 and 1970. My first tour, with the 26th Marines, I carried an M-16, plus all the various odd tools of the grunt. Claymore mines, M-26 frag grenades, smoke grenades, pop-up flares, etc. And an occasional 60mm or 81mm mortar round in my pack. On...

    Today Is November 10th

    Semper Fi, and Happy 239th Birthday, Brothers. Seems like a lifetime ago I was at MCRD San Diego, and later I Corps, RVN. But then again sometimes it seems like only yesterday. As rough as it was sometimes, I would do it all over again, just to be part of "The Corps". Walter 3/26...

    Tristar CZ Clones at Academy

    Those same grips also fit perfectly on the C100. And they feel much better than the hard plastic grips that came on the gun. "Grippier", I guess you could say. Walter

    Do you reload?

    I started reloading .45acp in 1973 with a "Lee Loader", graduated to an RCBS single-stage press in 1978. I now load 4 different handgun cartridges and 5 rifle cartridges. I will still buy a box or two of factory-loaded pistol ammo occasionally, but I haven't bought any factory-loaded rifle...

    Crazy (good) Indiana Handgun License Experience

    It doesn"t. But I would imagine a Level 4 Security Clearance background check is much more extensive than a background check for a CCL. They probably figured it would be a waste of time and money to do another background check. Imagine that, government employees using common...

    Did you buy one just 'cuz "they" don't want you to?

    I did. At least, I suppose that is as good a reason as any why I bought it. I have never owned a 9mm handgun and never really felt the need to. I've always been a .45 caliber guy. I have four of them, three 1911 types and a Colt SAA. But when all the anti-gun hysteria started up again...

    CZ RAMI Face Lift.

    CZF, great looking grip panels. Those are walnut, right? I've been thinking about some new grips for my RAMI, and a set of those would dress it up nicely, I think. My only problem with ordering from them is they only list "PayPal" as an acceptable form of payment. And I don't do...

    Walther opening plant in Arkansas.

    What? Not according to Walther's website. http://www.waltherarms.com/products/handguns/ppk/ I think the end of the PPK would be the end of an era, and I think it would have been widely known. And I have never heard this. Sources, please? Walter

    Soldiers bringing back weapons

    First off, all you RVN vets, "Welcome Home, Brothers"! As far as bring home captured weapons, my experience was this: We were grunt Marines. We didn't have the room or the muscle to drag around a "Souvenir" in the bush, so the weapon had to be tagged, shipped back to either company or...

    VA GOP requesting CCW Permit info

    Good article, r1derbike, thanks for posting it. The author seems to have finally gotten a handle on the "right to privacy" we all want and expect. I wish more journalists, politicians, LEO etc. would figure that out. Walter

    Essential shooter items.

    You may not want to bother with it, but I carry a notebook, or "logbook" with me every time I go to the range for paper punching. I record what guns I shot, at what ranges, the type and amount of ammo I shot, and a general description of how I shot. I also write down any problems with the...
