    Range trip photos! (Burro Canyon)

    by looking at the photos, I was wondering if Chip was hitting the target at point of aim even though the bayonet was not extended. My M44 only shoots to point of aim with the Bayo extended. Looks like it was a fun day at the range. Where exactly in SoCal is Burro Canyon? I used to live in...

    walther P22 range report

    Kingpin, I had to chuckle when I read your post. I bought a P22 with the expectation that my 15 year old daughter would really like shooting it due to the small ergonomic grip and the compactness of the gun. She likes my .22 Buckmark pistol and shoots it well. I have been trying to separate her...

    Beretta 84

    Although I don't own one I have always thought that the Beretta 84 "Cheetah" was the best looking semi-auto handgun made. There's just something about the compact curvy Italian design of it. And it has a nice feel to it too. Kind of like a lot of Italian women; compact, curvy, and so fun to hold !

    9mm Stopping Power

    I have often wondered the same thing. 9mm always seems to be the caliber that gets the most criticism. When you look at the ballistics on paper comparing say a 125 grain .38 special to a 124 grain 9mm luger; the 9mm is usually about 200 fps. faster and has around 75 to 100 more ft. pounds of...

    Does this shotgun exist?

    I am wondering why must it be a bullpup? Is it a matter of compactness only? To me you lose some of the good qualities of a shotgun with bullpup. Such as the sight radius and the way that the barrel "swings" on to a target. Shotguns also have a good deal of recoil and a loud report; as well as...

    Name them. The ugliest FACTORY rifle, pistol, & shotgun.

    As far as pistols go my username says it best. But Hi Point pistols would give them a run for their money. :D

    Non-expensive 9mm

    +1 on the person who suggested a Stoeger Cougar. My Son bought one last fall for around $350 and it is a fine pistol. Relatively light. good magazine capacity, very reliable function and a good shooter. The action uses a rotating barrel with some strong locking lugs and his has never had a fail...

    Is it just too hot to go to the range?

    108 degrees today here in Las Vegas. I go shooting to enjoy myself....don't enjoy myself at 108 in the direct sun(no shade trees at the BLM open areas around here). Also gun barrels, forearms and chambers get really hot and stay hot. You have to go very early in the morning to avoid the heat. I...

    Some what amusing video

    That chick would be in some serious criminal and legal doo-doo being that she shot the creep while he was still outside of the house. She should have waited two more seconds to get him get partly in the door before she let that Kalasnikov do the talkin'.

    CZ?

    CZ's are probably the most underrated handguns out there.

    questionable quality armscore 9mm ammo with pictures comming soon

    I would like to add that SAMMI works with American Ammo manufacturers and CIP is the European equivalent. They both develop standards and guidelines for pressure limits on ammo. Since Armscor ammo is produced in the Philippines I have my doubts as if SAMMI guidelines are followed or not and...

    questionable quality armscore 9mm ammo with pictures comming soon

    Ilbob, the gun I was shooting that that stuff through was not a snubby but a Single Action Army clone with a seven and a half inch barrel. I have shot many brands and bullet weights of .357 mag ammo as well as my own reloads through it so I have a pretty good idea of what a hot load feels...

    ever get flamed for carrying a revolver?

    Double action revolvers have been successfully defending military, law enforcement, security personel, and civilians for around 120 years now. someone shot in a vital area with a .38 special in the year 2008 is just as dead as someone who got shot with a .38 special in 1905! You know the old...

    questionable quality armscore 9mm ammo with pictures comming soon

    I live in Las Vegas, Nevada; Armscor's USA headquarters is located in Pahrump, Nevada about 65 miles away. The reason I say this is that we see alot of Armscor's products in the gun stores around here having shot a good bit of Armscor ammo in different calibers here is my observations on it...

    9mm, Speer 115gr tmj...I think I blew it with the OAL

    My Lee book Modern Reloading lists different minimum OALs for a large amount of 9mm Parabellum loads, typically they are from 1.125 to 1.142 for 115 FMJ or TMJ bullets. 124 grain bullets are right around the same minimum OALs. What I have done is settled on 1.143 as my standard OAL for all of...

    12 guage slug info

    I should add that slug performance varies a lot between guns and different ammo. So you may have to try quite a few different slugs to see how well they group out of your gun.

    12 guage slug info

    You can shoot standard foster type slugs out of any normal smoothbore shotgun....with some caveats. You usually don't want to shoot slugs with the screw-in full choke as a full choke is somewhat smaller than the diameter of the slug and the slug gets deformed passing through it. It can damage...
