    Thoughts on an AMT Javalina Longslide in 10mm?

    All I remember about them is they had a poor reputation. Lots of problems I read about. True or not I have no idea, I never shot one and never knew anyone that owned one.

    Advice from a professional. -Lube your pistol cases.

    I use carbide pistol dies. I even went so far as to make a shorter lever for my press for 44 special and below because I didn't need the leverage of the full length RCBS handle with no lube. Just wasted motion. I do go switch to the factory handle and spray lube if sizing 44 mag cases. My...

    BUG question

    I have no idea how old you are as your profile is blocked. If you live long enough you might find out why it isn't a good idea to sit on something that misaligns your pelvis with your spine even just a little. I am sitting in my recliner with an aching hip even after taking pain killers right...

    Lipstick on a pig.

    I am all for the longer barrel. Snubbies just leave my boat high and dry.

    Exacto or small pocket knife and a light touch. Just scrape the finish off.

    I don't like snakes

    You have never been in western movies I can see, The horse always rears up and dumps it's rider and many times the snake crawls over over and bites the thrown rider. I have lived in rattlesqanke country all my life. The farm I grew up on was close to the eastern edge of The Llano Estacado and...

    Is CCI Blazer aluminum case fading away?

    I used to shoot a lot of it just plinking. Killing paper. caliche rocks, steel, coke cans, and an occasional 2 liter plastic soda bottle filled with water. Never had one problem with it and in different guns. Our farm & ranch store still has it or I should say had it as I haven't done any...

    Keltec sub2000

    A couple of other things that kept me away from the original was doing some research and finding they came with a heavy trigger and accuracy wasn't all that great from what I found. I decided on a 20" Rossi in 357. More oomph if wanted with the option of a good trigger for a few bucks and a...

    I don't like snakes

    It never has bothered me in the least. I bought my son a Diamondback for Christmas many years ago and have owned a Python. Got to name all them something and I remember the snake names better than model numbers. You think they are silly for guns just look at some of the names stuck on vehicles...

    Are Sights Really Necessary on a Concealed Carry Pistol?

    With no gun fight experience to draw upon I have no idea if I would use the sights or just look down the barrel. In a life or death situation at close range I'm guessing I would rely on the barrel more than the sights. Fast and nasty and get a bullet in the attacker as quickly as possible but...

    Keltec sub2000

    My SIL bought one of these recently. I looked at an early one and thought it would make a great jeep gun but didn't like that it was limited to the sights that it came with or a rather clunky arrangement to use a red dot so I put that thought away and went another direction. Now it seems that...

    How are these guys getting any accuracy shooting like this?

    I'll echo jmr40 on this subject. These guys experiment until they determine where they get their best groups and use that exact position from match to match. Same thing as benchrest shooters, long range shooters, and even offhand shooters do. Find what works best and do that with every shot as...

    so called cowboy "assault rifles"

    Some of that was done on horseback. Has anyone ever made a better design than a lever action to carry on a horse? As to banning guns it's a nibbling process. Today we get the semi-autos. Tomorrow we get the bolt and lever actions. We will quit when the citizens are unarmed and have no way to...

    What was your first marksmanship badge of honor? .....

    Back shortly after the dinosaur extension event I joined the local gun club. I think I was the 5th and last member. We shot the NRA small bore 50' course. The city let us use the old National Guard building that was gift to them when the Guard got new quarters. Light was from window high up on...

    Rear bag suggestions?

    I have never used bipods and don't ever intend to. I shoot with my oldest grandson and SIL some and both use bipods and I outshoot both so why change? Prone became undoable several years ago. Too hard to become verticle again. Have a bum neck from a long ago accident and it doesn't appreciate...

    Lyman brass dryer

    In my case it would be just something else sitting around in my way and I already have enough of those. Sun and wind do an excellent and fast job of drying things here. On the rare gloomy, damp days I can afford to wait. The sunshine will return shortly and the wind is almost always blowing. I...

    Colt King Cobra Target 22: Table Top & 300 Round Review

    Thanks for the review. While it is a very attractive gun I am still conflicted about wanting one. The sticky chambers and trigger pull weight is off putting. Even my bargain basement Rossi Plinker has it seriously beat in the trigger department. Otherwise it would be fine right out of the box...

    Colt King Cobra Target 22: Table Top & 300 Round Review

    Thanks for the review. While it is a very attractive revolver I'm still conflicted on if I want one or not. the name seems out of place to me. A 22 named after a big, bad snake seems strange but I could live with it. I would have to try the front sight first as colored sights no longer work well...

    Guns For Fun at Range

    Since this has been revived I'll join in. I find just about anything that doesn't have what I consider brutal recoil fun. As I age I find more guns in that category. I can think of one with almost no recoil that wasn't though My SIL bought Mossberg's version of an AR 22 for the number 2 grand...

    If you could only have 5 handguns?

    First thing first. There is no way I am going to be limited to only 5 handguns but in keeping with the OP's question I'll play. First 2 would be in 22 LR, likely a 3 screw single six and a MK IV Target with a Volquartson trigger kit. Fun guns, not that the others aren't. 2 1911's in 9 mm and 45...
