Thanks for the information, Guy. I had given up hope on hearing anything on this question, and just now found your response! I'll keep checking your website from time to time, and thanks again for your response. Len.

Start of the day, shotgun under my arm, cold fingers around a hellishly hot cup of coffee, with a lively Lab just begging to get started...my eyes are hardly open. End of the day, shotgun leaning up in the corner, in a leather chair with my feet up, warm fingers around a cold drink, the Lab...

I'm in the final stages of tweaking a DPMS LR 308 24" bull barrel variant. I dropped it off today at the local [well-known, good reputation] gunshop/gunsmith for a receiver tweak. While I was there I started shooting the breeze with one of the guys there, telling him the only thing that...

Dave..."34 days"....not that anyone's counting! SM...yep, the smokes are in the left front inside pocket! The jerky from Gustafson's, up in the UP, has to stay back at the cabin...the dogs won't think of anything else if I have it on me. [Not that I've ever shared jerky with them...you...

Call up your dogs, fellas, it's almost time! Looking forward to crisp days, cold nights by the fire, roaming the fields with my friends, both human and canine. Posted this on another site, but wanted to share with the guys that encouraged me to get back into the shotgun thing! See you...

Good news for you, Bear! I'm envious. I've had to introduce three "series" of pups to current dogs. Short list of things to consider: 1. Breed of the dogs may make a difference. "One master" dogs are a little more difficult to introduce to a new puppy. 2. In some dogs, age of the...

Similar experiences to thexrayboy...I don't even count the number of fights I've been in in the ER days! BTW, had guns and knives pulled on me by patients, been punched, kicked, assaulted with scalpels, needles...all unsuccessful. One guy, a police prisoner was trying to cut himself out of...

I have to chime in here. I've been to the range there more times than I can count. [It's the easiest, closest place for me to shoot.] I never buy guns there, there are too many other good shops around that sell for much less. Background info: I have a CPL, and normally bring in a range bag...

5906TSW, 4566TSW. Over 11K through the 9, and 8K through the 45. Big, big fan. Rock solid, accurate, consistent. They're my interchangeable carry guns. I trust them. Len

Some of you may know that I've just started getting back into shotgunning. Taking clays lessons, practicing whenever I can. I use a Beretta SP II, O/U. The other day, while driving home, I started wondering about buying an extra barrel for this thing that would be more appropriate to...

You may also want to try http://www.platinumlightinginc.com/ They have a ton of different rope lights both AC/DC and dimmer switches for them. I used some inside as hidden stair lighting, and they work well.

Fear is not the same as panic, although I believe a lot of people equate the terms. I, too, like the "well-adjusted" proviso! It is only sane to realize that jumping out of a plane with 150 pounds of gear, into a dicey location, at night, perhaps HALO...is a thing to be feared! Training both...

Sure! I've introduced a lot of young people to shooting, and have never had one dislike the experience. In a way, I've created my own shooting pals. It's good to cajole anti's to try it, too. If you can get them out there, it removes the "spooky mystique" of guns and shooting, and in my...

The store here sounds like a mix of several previous comments. I've found the gun counter to be stocked with a limited but common selection of handguns, and an average variety of shotguns and rifles. All at prices I probably wouldn't pay. In checking prices against stuff I've already...

First step of training in long and small arms was taken to an intermediate level of proficiency in the military, about thirty years ago. Current training regimen is as follows: Once a month, at the indoor range. Begin at 7 yds, moving to 10, 15 and 25, and then back. Roughly 25 rounds per...

By now, with some good advice above, you should know how to proceed. FWIW, last year, while traveling through a small MI town, I hit a a deer on a downtown residential street. It was wounded badly, and I got on the phone to request an officer, both to report the accident, and to put the deer...

I think there's a tradeoff here. I agree that having access to newer technology, and access to cheap, well-manufactured ammunition provides a much greater opportunity to practice. And practice is the key to mastering just about anything. However, in the old days, with limited resources, a...

And another vote for the Ruger Blackhawk. My personal sentimental favorite is a 41 mag 4 5/8 barrel length that I've had quite a while. To "pair up" a Winchester Legacy 94 in .357, I selected the Ruger 357/9mm combo, also 4 5/8" SA. It gives me everything I want. Same caliber as the lever...

Sigfan, I hear you. Love the Hogue grips [rubber] on both autos, SW 9mm and 45. I have long fingers, and the extra "fatness" on a Hogue grip over a doublestack 9mm works for me, but others can't stand them when they try it. I tried the finger grooved rubber grips on a Ruger 41 SA...and was...

Dr. Rob...This thread feels like a vacation! I'm "new" to the upland/clays/shotgun game, after a 30 year break from shotgunning. One of the things that drew me back was the sheer beauty of the well made shotgun! I have a Beretta Silver Pigeon III that feels like a body part it fits me so...
