    So after almost 50 years of daily carry, I re-discover the 380 again

    http://shootingthebull.net/blog/final-results-of-the-380-acp-ammo-quest/ You can also watch the shooting the bull .380 ammo quest on you tube. The xtp and hydrashok are clearly best. The crit defense under performs.

    Iron sights keep shooting loose

    OK. I'll give the red a try.

    Iron sights keep shooting loose

    Red locktight? How will you remove it if and when the time comes? I've never tried to remove a fastener that has had red locktight applied. I've always been told that it is forever.

    Iron sights keep shooting loose

    Ruger Mini 14. Nice tight 5 shot groups at 50 yrds and then 100 rounds later groups open up and the rear sight is loose. Blue lock tight applied after thorough cleaning, two more range trips of plinking with nice tight groups. 500 or so rounds later groups start to open up. And again, rear sight...

    New shooter, general firearms questions

    Arisaka Nothing is wrong with the Arisaka that a firing pin and new spring wouldn't fix. And no, I didn't contact the emperor :)

    New shooter, general firearms questions

    Thanks for listening and the conversation. I'm just frustrated. It's not environmental: I really do take fantastic care of all that I own and store and use them properly. They are kept locked and clean and I only shoot quality ammo. I also purchased NIB from either Cabela's or a LGS that's...

    New shooter, general firearms questions

    I've only been really shooting and enjoying firearms for a little over a year now. Thats pretty new and there was so much I didn't know. Owning a .22lr rifle and an old revolver and rarely shooting them does not a seasoned shooter make.

    New shooter, general firearms questions

    Nope nothing out of the ordinary. Bought the NAA NIB and after the first month I was at the the range, cocked the hammer and the cylinder didn't turn and the hammer locked halfway back. After pulling the cylinder, I was able to de-cock the hammer. The hand aft that turns the hammer was missing...

    New shooter, general firearms questions

    All of these were brand new firearms. It just feels surreal, the short time frame and every purchase and problem and major problems at that. I'm not abusive, I run decent ammo. Cabela's doesn't advertise refunds on firearms, and explicitly state no refunds on firearms, but in their gun...

    New shooter, general firearms questions

    Hello, I lurk here and there and have come to ask some questions. First, I've asked these questions on a few manufacturer forums and was roundly chastised by forum regulars due to the questions concerning their favorite firearms. So I've come here to freely ask without ruffling the feathers of...

    223 for deer update

    Federal Fusion 62 grain is what I use. It's always broken bones and left the lungs and heart a liquid soupy mess. I've had one run about 30 yards once. She also jumped between the electrified strands of a horse fence... with a shattered shoulder and no lungs or heart. You just never know because...

    isn't it interesting that when the chips are down

    I genuinely enjoy every aspect of this particular machine. It really is THE form of revolver. Nothing to fuss with, just fixed sights and six shots. I prefer the patina on old revolvers.

    isn't it interesting that when the chips are down

    I love my 1969 4" SW Model 10-5. One of the best pointing and accurate firearms I've ever shot. I've also a NAA Guardian .380 acp with tritium Novaks that I pocket carry daily. It's nice and compact and as accurate as I am and has never FTF. It was a tough call compared to a 642 j frame.

    Barnes TSX 55 gr or 70 gr in AR

    I like Federal Fusion 62 grain. I've been using it for years with my 582 series Mini 14 with perfect success. It is designed specifically for deer and they make a "MSR" version for the AR platform.

    Animal reaction to being shot...

    Ruger Mini 14, iron sights, with 62 grain Federal Fusion. I keep it under 100 yards and pick only good shots. I almost always aim for the heart/lung area. Last doe I shot on the move at 30ish yards through the right front shoulder broadside. She jerked, winced and tightened up on the side she...
