    GPS ?

    Another vote for the Garmin 60CSx if you can find one used. It has more features than you need now, but you can add road maps to it too down the road if you like. I think it was one of the first handhelds to have the high sensitivity chip in it. Anyhow, mine has survived several tumbles and...

    Excess Lead in 22/45 Barrel?

    Just an update. I tried using some Federal AutoMatch bulk pack (already had some on hand) and fired another 150 rounds or so and still had some lead come out. Not as bad as before. I think it's partly my fault cause I'm going through the rounds pretty quick (have 5 mags and a easyloader for...

    Do you keep a rifle within arms reach at home?

    "JustinJ - I have a CCW License and I pocket carry a Ruger LCP 99% of the time. A lot of the times I forget it's still in there and only take it out when I change into my PJ's (sorry for the visual folks). As to the original question - I have a loaded .40 S&W Sig 229 in my nightstand at the...

    Excess Lead in 22/45 Barrel?

    Sorry - Haven't had a chance to try them yet. I'll post an update when I do. I also went ahead and left CCI a note from their page, on Ruger's response. Still haven't heard back from them.

    Excess Lead in 22/45 Barrel?

    Thanks everyone for your input. I got the barrel scrubbed out and I'm going to try to take it back out on the range again, on Wednesday. This time, I'm going to try it out with some copper washed rounds first, then try the CCI Blazers again.

    Excess Lead in 22/45 Barrel?

    Well, I took my new Ruger 22/45 Hunter to the range the other night, and half way through the session, my accuracy was going to hell. It was shortly after where it failed to chamber a round and there was a bent .22 that I cleared...didn't chamber. So I resumed shooting. I put roughly 200...

    Glock 26 Gen 4. Pros and Cons.

    I got the Gen4 26 and love it. It fits my hands well and I'm surprised how accurate it is for such a small gun. Mind you, I'm 6'2", but have medium sized hands.
