Gen 3 Glock 23 Picked up a Gen 3 Glock 23 on Saturday. Unfortunately, I was too busy to go to the range this weekend... Why do I let my wife schedule things on Saturdays??? :banghead: Anyway, I was planning to get a Kel-Tec P-11 to carry, but decided on this instead. I wasn't sure how I would...

Garage Sale Deal I picked up a Traditions Lightning .50 cal inline muzzle-loader with a nice padded case for $35 at a garage sale this weekend! I haven't owned a muzzle-loader in 10 years and I've only shot one a handful of times, so I'm actually pretty excited about it.

I stated earlier that practice will correct the problem, but many people seem to disagree. Let me clarify. I understand that practicing with a faulty technique will only serve to reinforce that faulty technique. If you have bad habits, get some help. If you are simply nervous about the recoil...

I'm not an expert, but I would think that two reasons may have been reliability and ammo conservation.

I'm proud to say that Indiana scored a 4 out of 100 on the Brady Scorecard. You do need a permit to carry, but they offer a lifetime, which I got last year, so for me it has become a non-issue. There is a stupid state law banning Short-Barreled Shotguns. If it qualifies as an AOW, it's fine...

I've never owned one, but I'd have to say the Garand. Mosin is fun and cheap. I never had a problem with either of mine. I really like my Steyr M95/30. During WWI it was used by the Austrian Army and chambered in 8x50R Mannlicher. Many of them were cut down into carbines and rechambered...

I have to admit that I struggle with double action trigger pull, even on my Kel-Tec P-32. I tend to anticipate the trigger break and it causes a slight flinch, even though I know the recoil is practically non-existent. It has more to do with thought process than actual recoil. After countless...

Lots of good tips, but nothing can replace range time. Shoot as much as you can, then shoot some more. I live in town, away from a range, but just 2 or 3 hours at the range every 2 - 4 weeks has done wonders for my shooting. I'm trying to make it once a week now, even if it's just an hour with...

First gun I shot: SKB 20ga when I was 4. I got my cheek too far back, practically between the stock and my shoulder, but my dad didn't notice. If I hadn't busted up my face I probably wouldn't have remembered it. First gun I owned: New England Firearms Pardner 20ga. I think I was 12. It was...

I had an AK when I was younger and it was a ton of fun at the range! Mine was a Chinese MAK-90 which I bought off of a friend. It came with two ten round and four thirty round mags, a case, and 1,000 rounds of ammo. I wish I had never sold it... I wouldn't suggest the MAK, as it is pretty...

I really appreciate the tips! Volunteering, reloading, and buying used are great ideas. I wouldn't know where to start with sponsorship, but any sponsor would be a huge plus. If I cancelled my cable, however, I'm pretty sure my wife would kill me...

Thanks for the advice! I would rather have an auto shotgun, than a pump, but they are typically more expensive... I should probably just be patient and save up for better equipment. I can shoot pistol only while saving for the shotgun and rifle...

I'm sure you're right, but there are some benefits to the 4". I also need a better carry piece, so I can kill two birds with one stone, and I'll get plenty of practice with my carry gun.

I agree! I have plenty of .22 rifles and pistols!

I have several guns, but I would have a hard time competing with any of them; most are .22s. I only have 3 that would work at all: an old Springfield Pump, a Taurus Judge, and a Steyr Carbine in 8x56R (ammo is expensive and hard to find). Not exactly the best lineup for 3-gun...

Will do. Thanks.

I don't have any friends who compete, but what you suggested is pretty much what I was thinking. I plan on buying a 9mm XD 4" Service Model next, so that will be my pistol. I will probably do some local USPSA pistol matches while building my AR. Any brand suggestions for building a solid AR on a...

I know the sport is not cheap (ammo, club dues, entry fees, etc), but I'm looking into getting started (slowly) on a budget. I want to know a good starting place for each gun. I am ok with spending time and money over the long haul in upgrades, customization, tweaking, etc., but my starting...

I bought a Sig Mosquito with a threaded barrel and a Kel-Tec P-32 in the same day. The wife was not happy...

I will definitely be getting one as soon as they are available at my LGS. It looks like a good option for home defense. I've got a PMR-30 on order and I'm glad for the wait... It gave them time to fix all the problems they were having with the design. Kel-Tec has some great ideas, but they...
