    Gun Skul: Scott Reitz or Louis Awerbuck??

    Take the class with Awerbuck. As has been pointed out he does not get to your area all that often and ITTS is much closer so you can take that class later. I was fortunate to be able to take Louis' HG I class in Ukiah, CA earlier this year. It was quite enjojable and I learned a lot...

    More Thunder Ranch Questions (Defensive Handgun I)

    I attended a 3-day DHG I class at TR in early Decamber last year. While it was never hot it did get warm and I was occasionally glad I had water on the range. Weather in that part of Texas can vary wildly both within a day and from year to year. I've seen it 80 degrees one mid November and...

    what to bring to a 5-day shooting class?

    I realize this tread started regarding a specific school but it has broadened to a more general discussion so I'll throw the following in. Be aware of the firearm laws in the area you are going to. I have no idea about North Carolina but I know that for western Nevada being legal can very...

    SIG 226 price check/thoughts

    Some claim that older 226s (late 1980s) can develop cracks in the frame rails. The serial number range given for such guns is generally stated as being below 150 000. I have no idea what that number is based on. There is no repair for this but some people claim to have been successful in...

    Help me pick a HD shotgun..Thanks

    The last option in the Choate product menu, on their web page (http://riflestock.com), lists Youth/Body Armor shotgun stocks that have a length of pull of 11 3/4 inches. I assume/hope these will also take spacers to vary LOP but I cannot confirmed this from the information given. I think...

    Range Report on Ruger P95DC & Problem

    I realize my post was long and it could be easy to miss or misinterprete text but I said in my introduction to the issue that my locking the gun up was probably due to a combination of the gun's design and how I handled it. Indeed I did not lock the gun up every time I practiced a malfunction...

    Range Report on Ruger P95DC & Problem

    True, matching the index marks and pushing on the right side of the lever is part of the breakdown to clean the gun. Despite my not cleaning the thing during the course I have taken it apart many times. Its one thing to do this in my garage during cleaning but another thing entirerly to...

    Range Report on Ruger P95DC & Problem

    Recently, I was fortunate to attend a 3-day Defensive Handgun I class at Thunder Ranch in central Texas. The following is primarily a review of the range performance of my Ruger P95DC (9 mm) and and a question about a malfunction I had occur. This post is not intended as a review of the...

    Electronic Hearing Protection

    Like others here, I got the Peltor Tac 6 ears with the behind-the-head band because I thought they would be more comforable in the heat. I had two initial problems with these ears. (1) Even though the headphones did not seem to move around much on my ears the unit felt less secure on my head...

    New SP101 and a few questions...

    The following is a somewhat long review of four grips available for the SP 101. Sorry for the length. It kind of got away from me. I hope it helps. I have both the 2+" barrel, DAO/spurless hammer and 3+" barrrel, spurred hammer versions of this gun in .357. I enjoy both. Over the past...

    Legal Impact Weapons?

    FYI & only slightly OT. - I was looking at a forestry supply catalog a while back and it advertised what they were calling a "Dog Bite Stick". It was being sold to ward off attacking dogs. It was certainly an expandable baton of some type. I don't recall any admonishment to check local laws...

    SP101, 2" or 3" barrel?

    I have both barrel lengths of the is gun. I opted for the DAO version of the 2+ inch version because I figured its spruless hammer combined with the shorter barrel would allow it to be a little more concealabe than the longer one with a spured hammer. This is true for some forms of conceal...
