    Fiocchi 12 gauge slugs

    I've used them to kill deer. Seem to work fine for that.

    Removing and Re-Installing a PolyChoke

    With regards to cutting down barrels and grouse hunting... The best grouse gun I own is a Winchester Model 12 that was originally fixed full choke with a 28" barrel. As it was in "beater" condition when I got it, I cut about 4" off the barrel, which effectively removed the choke. The...

    Good Solid One Hand Knife

    Because it _is_ a gravity knife. The real question is whether those types of knives are allowed where you are.

    Vietnam era "Special" weapons

    G98 - It looks to me like that 870 is set up so that the top shell in the magazine would be in the same place that the rear-most shell in a tubular magazine would be. When you pull the forearm to the rear, it would dump it in on top of the carrier and it would be chambered when you slid the...

    any serious sporting clays shooters here?

    I was posting on here long before I got to the other sites. Since I tend to shoot more competitively, I've not posted around here much recently... although I do check in from time to time. FWIW, I shoot several thousand registered targets each year and many, many more in practice. IMO, I like...

    What's the deal with mini pry bars?

    I have a Prybaby XL on my keyring. I rarely use it, but when I do, I'm glad that I have it. It's nice to have around when I'm doing something that would make me briefly consider prying with my knife's blade tip. Oh yeah, and the bottle opener works well. Is it necessary? No. Do I kind of...

    How cold is too cold to shoot shotgun shells?

    As PJR said, single-base powders can have issues in very cold weather. I hadn't thought much about the cold wads not sealing, but it does make sense. When it gets into single digits, sometimes sporting clay shooters will put a couple hand-warmers into their vest or jacket pockets in an effort...

    Self Defense for Women Part I

    My wife shoots shotguns competitively, but even so, we had a discussion some years back about having a couple of pistols available for HD. At some point in the discussion, she said "I'm not sure I could shoot someone with a pistol." :rolleyes::uhoh: My heart sunk for a minute and I started...

    Fighter Group Buy Update

    Don - If you feel badly enough, you could always throw in an extra 'short fighter' into the box when they ship. ;)

    Angle Port Chokes....

    Dave - I have used Angleport tubes for years, in several different guns. I think highly enough of them that they are the aftermarket chokes I use in my "spare no expense" Kolar.

    Fighter for Browning

    Don - That is very cool. To be honest, I hadn't been thinking too much about it (maybe something about the patience gained from previous Randall orders*), but now that I have actually seen it, I'm stoked! Beautiful work, sir! * I'll be receiving a Model 14 before the end of the month. It...

    How is life with a Razel?

    20nickels - From a practical standpoint, at least from what I've done so far, it's kind of a non-issue. Frankly, I think that each is optimized for its size. The larger knife (ringed) has a bit of belly to the long portion of the blade. The stubby has a very straight edge. Until you mentioned...

    How is life with a Razel?

    Valkman - Thanks for the offer, but I'm not done playing with this one yet. :) What I'd like is a stubby, but with a smaller ring. I've got what I normally refer to as "little girl hands", and the ring on the RR is overly large.

    How is life with a Razel?

    FWIW, I just received a CRKT stubby razel and have had the ringed model for a while now. The ringed, while I really wanted it to be usable for everyday carry, is too big (for me). The stubby seems much better in that regard. The only problem so far is the sheath for the stubby is way too...
