Texas All this and not one mention of Robert Earl Keen? Texas has it's own brand of music, too, to go along with all that other good stuff. I've been all over and it really is true that the women in Texas are easier on they eyes than anywhere else.

Over the weekend I had some time to tear her down a bit futher than I have in the past. It took a bit of figuring to finally understand how the extractor is held in place. Pretty simple once I learned how the firing pin holds in a plate that secures the extractor. Once I took all that apart...

Texas Code For us here in Texas... http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/docs/PE/content/htm/pe.002.00.000009.00.htm

I'm down south of Houston. The CQB place looks good. Wish there was something like that close to here. (There might be and I haven't discovered it yet.)

While I've been shooting as long as I can remember, I had a chance last weekend to do a bit of shooting at my uncles private pistol range he has set up on his farm. Every other range has been controlled so that draw and shoot is not allowed. Being fairly new to concealed carry, I wanted to...

It's what I got from the range. I shot PMC a while back and don't remember anything odd with that, but I didn't collect my brass then either. Did have the FTE issue though. I'm going to pull the extractor this evening and see if there's any junk behind it and check the other stuff suggested...

I think you guys are right about the finish. I hadn't really thought about getting her back without the wear. It would be like a new gun. I can go buy a new gun. I'll keep the finish as-is. Thanks ya'll. On the chamber, the only reason I think there might be an issue there it ther spent...

I added a limbsaver to mine. No fitting required at all, though the packaging said there might be. Fit was perfect. AND the results spectacular. Mine is a 1895M (.450 Marlin) and light loads need to be hand made. Factory loads are real stout and not all that fun to shoot with the solid butt...

I have inherited my Dad's Colt 1911 Gold Cup National Match. I even have the original box from 1963. It was his first and most used duty weapon. (I learned to shoot with this gun, so there is much sentimental value here) It still shoots very straight with the 2-5% FTE on the last round...

I ran into a situation with my Mother-in-law saying she was 'not comfortable' with me carrying a gun in her house. It wasn't really the gun issue, though. It made her feel that I did not feel safe in her house and that sort of offended her. (after later discussions with my wife, I found that...

I have a few stories... First: I was 11-12 years old at my uncle Red's farm. He had a problem with too many turtles in his pond and asked if I'd go down an erradicate them. SURE!! I said. He, my Dad, and I walked down to the pond, Uncle Red carrying what I thought was a really cool deer...

There's a lot of copper thievery going on around here. If you have a cell phone you are paying for it. The cell sites in this area are getting hit often. To the tune of severl times a week. Some are small time taking the grounding plates and grounding wire; the easy stuff. Other times they...

Growing up in a shooters family, I went to the range often. Thankfully, my Dad insisted on hearing protection; he had already been through the time in the Marines when hearing protection was for wimps, then in the Dallas PD before hearing protection was the norm. Permanent ringing in the ears...

S&W 624 Here's mine...pleasure to shoot. I've recently begun reloading for her. Great boat gun. (fending off pirates and taking out the odd big shark.)

What -is- a good crimp? I've been thinking about this topic some. Being new to reloading (for both revolver & lever gun, too) I know I need a good crimp, but all I have heard so for is "good, tight, firm". All sort of subjective. The only non-subjuctive description I've read deals with...

Thanks for the info! The links with the reload data are much appreciated. I was paranoid on my very first attempt...I set up the progressive press and decided on a recipe out of the (very old: 25 years) Lee manual that called for 7.0 grains of Unique behind a 146grain LSWC. There was hardly...

I'm new to reloading; from my Dad I have about 8 one pound cans of Win 231 along with much assorted reloading paraphanalia. I'm reloading .357 for a S&W model 662 6" barrel with a Lee progressive 1000 & .44 special (individually with dies & a Texan press) for a S&W model 624 4" barrel...

Is that just because you say so? (I had to say that...:banghead: ) What is newsworthy today seems to take the que from what is sensational. Yes, is it interesting and morbidly funny(funny-wierd) that the VP peppered his hunting buddy and people will read & watch coverage. But does it...

PM9 Thumbs up from here. Great little gun. Easier to hide than my Sig P239. Not one hiccup at all. Ever. I do oil all my firearms really good. I can tear the center out of a sighting target at 7 yards...and I am not the worlds best shot. The only thing is I took some practice to get used...

Another vote for the Kahr PM9. I'm letting go of a couple of other semiautos because, well, I just like the PM9 better.
