    Old user, new location!

    Greetings, folks! My wife and I recently relocated to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. :) I sold my P220ST to help finance the move, but I still have my P220C SAO and am looking for someplace to shoot it. Anyone in the Pagosa/Durango area have any tips on where to shoot?

    Spousal gun deals; what's yours?

    My wife isn't so much anti-gun as she doesn't like them (BAD past experiences; very pre-me). It took a great deal of trust in me to accept having them in the house. Part of that was me only having four guns at a time. Anyone else have a deal with the spouse regarding your firearms?

    Reloading plated bullets

    I have a general question regarding plated bullets. If the manual doesn't have a specific plated bullet section for the caliber/weight I want to use, should I use the numbers for lead or FMJ? I'm guessing lead but want to confirm with 'smarter/wiser minds'. Is there any rule of thumb that...

    So I'm looking for an 8 round extended mag for my newly acquired Sig P245...

    Loading for the 1911

    I recently purchased a new Sig GSR Revolution. As kind of a function test I ran 250 rounds of factory FMJ through it with almost no problems (1 failure to feed at around the 150 round mark). Since I started reloading for it I've had many problems, primarily failure to feed. The round would...

    Bruce Gray Action Job vs. Sig Arms Action Enhancement Package

    I'm thinking of getting an action job done on my P229. This is my CCW pistol so I'm not looking for anything outside of smoothing things out. Both Sig Custom Shop & Bruce Grey seem to be running about the same time (four to six weeks), but Bruce Grey is around 40% more expensive. Is the...

    I'm looking at a used Milt Sparks VM2 for a P229. Only problem is the VM2 is for a P229 Rail, and my P229 is sans rail. Can anyone tell me if my non-rail P229 will work in a VM2 meant for a P229R?
