    So my timing is off....

    I recently acquired an H&R 733 and I was running a health checkup (my first revolver so I'm taking my time) when it appears I have found the timing to be slightly off. At full lock up the cylinder appears to be rotated too far. How concerned should I be and if it is a major issue is there some...

    Calibers and bullet type for ccw.

    Here's a good healthy discussion that'd be interesting to get opinions on. I'm assuming most, if not all, of us agree that in a standard sidearm in standard service calibers (9mm, .45 ACP, etc)the best option tends to be premium grade JHPs. However, ate there any calibers or bbl lengths one...

    Yet another which gun thread...

    Yep, I'm not breaking any new ground but I do so love these threads with such a meeting of the minds as only THR can produce. I'm looking for a pocket carry BUG/Deep concealment. When the notion first hit me my initial thought was a 3 inch 1911 for magazine and ammo compatibility with my...

    Hypothetical question when carrying. What to do.

    Dear highroadians, I do not drive often and I carry at all times. The people I normally ride with do NOT have HCPs. Given these facts let's say I was going to start a new bank account and upon arrival I notice the bank is a posted location. In Tennessee it is illegal to carry past a properly...

    Pawn shop disaster

    Everyone know the feeling of money getting tight and not one to take handouts I opt to sell, pawn, or find extra work. In this particular instance I chose to pawn my new never fired range toy gsg 1911-22. No biggie pick it up in a month pay the ridiculous fees (including paying and going through...

    First time reloader

    I've been giving reloading some serious thought for a while now. I'm usually one to save for long periods of time and buying the best value. But I'm on a budget, I'm not sure it'll be for me, and it would be difficult in my current situation to set up a proper bench. So I've been looking at the...

    word association - Colt .45

    When you hear "Colt .45" do you think SAA .45LC or 1911 .45 ACP? I've always think SAA and I'm starting to think I'm the oddball because it appears most think of a 1911. I'm always young which seems to further exasperate the issue (my generation prefers black plastic and at least semi-auto...

    learning experiences on 1st day ccw

    Yesterday was my first day of carrying and today was my second. I learned quite a few things. 1) I somehow got lucky and picked a holster and belt that works pretty well on my second try (blackhawk cqc serpa and bison designs heavy duty last chance) so listening to all y'all on this board...

    firing field stripped 1911

    I was showing a friend how to field strip and clean my Remington 1911r1. All was well and good and seeing as he is relatively mechanically inclined it was going swimmingly. I looked away for a moment and he had the frame assembly in his hand.... as I had my head turned I heard an utterly heart...

    do video games have any real life benefit

    OK I'm gonna go ahead and put on my flame retardant suit. I was wondering if any of the fine people that also frequent this site thought there may be any real life benefits from playing different shooting based games. Don't get me wrong there is No substitute for training, trigger time, and...

    da/sa bug

    How do y'all. I recently turned 21 and have just completed my hcp class so will be getting my hcp in short order. In the mean time I'm trying to get well equipped both physically, with weapon and holster setups, and mentally, with trigger time and tactical dissection. My question pertains to...

    idea: biodegradable reactive targets

    I had an idea and wondered if anyone had tried it or if it would be effective. We all love reactive targets, instant dramatic feedback instead of unknown outcome until approaching target or grabbing the binoculars. But the issue with glass bulb "ink" filled targets is the mess they leave...

    memories

    I was thinking recently (dangerous thing for me to do) that many of my best family memories revolved around firearms. I grew up very pro gun and was given my first bb gun when I was probably 6 or 7. For instance I remember the first time I shot a long gun bigger than a 22 it was an h&r junior...
