    7mm BR Factory ammo value

    I recently came into possession of 160 (8 factory boxes of 20) rounds of 7mm BR factory ammo and I am interested in learning the value of said rounds. I am helping the owner sell the ammo as part of an estate sale. I know that the caliber is no longer in production as well as any firearm...

    Glock 34 upper on Glock 35 frame

    I already own both guns. My plan is to upgrade my glock 35 (mag well, trigger, stippling, etc.) but occasionally slap on my glock 34 slide assembly to take advantage of reduce recoil and higher capacity.

    Home defense load for 9mm

    As soon as i read this, many options flew out the window. Over penetration is a serious issue. The OP mentioned over penetration through an intruder, but you must also consider over penetration of rounds that miss their target. Many rounds fired in defense miss their target. Even police have...

    Glock 34 upper on Glock 35 frame

    Here's a question for my fellow Glock fans out there. In my limited research I've found that the Glock 34 and Glock 35 frame are identical (please correct me if i'm wrong). My plan is to upgrade my Glock 35 into a USPSA limited division gun and keep my Glock 34 stock for production...

    A DQ seems a bit extreme. I could see and FTDR though. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

    IDPA: Pulling back hammer in DA/SA semi-auto out of the holster?

    Definitely not serious. Shot a Sig 220R as a Sharpshooter in IDPA and USPSA for a couple years before switching to SSP with a glock 34 classified as Expert. Thanks for the help though. The competitor I'm referring to always attempts to win the "most accurate" award at my club by having...

    IDPA: Pulling back hammer in DA/SA semi-auto out of the holster?

    Hello everyone, Hopefully someone can clear up the rules here for me. At a recent match, I witnessed a competitor do something interesting at a COF. On the buzzer, he removed his Beretta m9 from its holster, presented the pistol to the first target, and used his weak hand to cock the...

    S&W 5906 vs CZ 75

    The smith 5906 has an amazing single action pull and crisp and short trigger reset. From my experience the cz had a longer pull... My smith regularly puts 1.5 2 inch groups on paper at defensive distances without a hiccup so far. They're really affordable too... Its up to your preference...

    Really old Bullseye

    I appreciate all of the input. I will try my usual load of 4.3gr under a 230gr LRN and see if i get the usual 720fps out of my sig sauer p220. Thats my IDPA competition load and thats what i'll most likely be doing with this powder (just breaks the PF for CDP). Thanks again guys.

    Really old Bullseye

    the gentleman who previously owned this powder has since passed and i didn't personally know him. I've been told he was a very meticulous reloader and took very good care of his gear. I'd only assume that it was stored correctly because the powder appears to be in good shape. Has the recipe...

    Holster recommendation

    a little pricey but the Safariland Holsters are great. They have one specifically for idpa with just a thumb retention system. Smooth coming out and i'm confident the gun wouldn't fall out while running.

    Really old Bullseye

    Hello Everyone, A friend recently unloaded about 3 pounds of Bullseye on me, but its real old. Came in an eight pound cardboard keg. Pics below: The powder looks good but i don't know for sure how it was stored. I tested about 5 grains of it compared to a fresher batch of...

    First pig hunt caliber/rifle suggestions

    believe it or not, thats the truth. Apparently, some scientists have found that the lead used in hunting bullets has some effect on the Condor populations in parts of california. Therefore, ALL ammo has to be non-lead when shooting in this area (this includes rimfire, muzzleloaders, rifles...

    First pig hunt caliber/rifle suggestions

    Hello everyone, I have several questions about an upcoming pig hunt that i'm going on... thanks in advance for participating in the discussion. Keep in mind that i'm hunting in a lead free zone in California 1. First of all, i don't feel that i have an adequate pig gun. The only firearm...

    Daniel Defense V5 for 3 Gun comps: LW vs Gov't barrel

    would there be any significant benefit from the heavier barrel tho over the lw barrel? Vice versa?

    Daniel Defense V5 for 3 Gun comps: LW vs Gov't barrel

    I've just about got enough $ saved up to drop on a Daniel Defense rifle (the V5 to be exact) but and i'm torn between the two different versions that they offer: a LW version with a pencil barrel or a government profile barrel. I'd mostly be using the gun to plink, some hunting, but I...

    Anyone try Hornady Zombie Bullets?

    its just a green FTX polymer filling in the SD Critical defense load. Expect similar ballistics and performence out of it... Its interesting: the .223 Z-Max load is actually cheaper than the V-Max bullet in .223 here in Cali...

    Problem with used S&W 5906

    That might just fix my problem... They're not the exact same sights that came with the firearm but they did come in a version of the 5906 so i don't see why that would put me in the ESP class in IDPA. I'm not too familiar with the classification requirements Should i just have my Novak...

    Problem with used S&W 5906

    too bad i was 11 when the ban took effect... and I'm not ready to convince an ATF agent I purchased magazines when I was 11. I'll just have to move out of this damned state if I want anything cool. :banghead: Also, my 5906 have novak three dot combat sights... iLikeOldgunsIlikeNewGuns: What...
