I saw one advertised on the net and then did a search and found that a lot of places are carrying them, including Buds gun shop. The only think I can find is that they are imported by American Tactical Imports, they are a polymer frame and they are have a hammer. The price is right. I can't...

It's been used and needs a good cleaning but the only damage I can find is a few dots of rust around some of the screws on the receiver. I haven't had a chance to get it to the range yet, but I got it an Itasco scope on it. Not the best scope, but I will find out when I get to the range. It...

This may be a weird question, but I don't think I'm the only one with it. As I get older, I get more of a waver at the end of the barrel, whether using a scope or iron sites. I have the best luck by doing a quick site and shooting as soon as I acquire the target, but if I hold on it for a...

I have been looking at them and because they are small and light, I want one for backup. It had some bugs according to older reviews, but they seem to have been worked out and they are supposed to be darn accurate. The lightness increases the recoil but it's not a target gun, so that is to be...

I use snake shot shells in my revolver, but I saw today that UGS.com which used to have another name has shot shells for sale in 9mm, .40S&W, and .45. I would like to know what semi auto will feed these plastic hulled shells? I have a couple 9s, a couple 40s and at least one .45. They are not...

I just ran a thread on a Hi-Point Carbine. Now I've run into a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 rifle in .40 S&W like the carbine. I like both manufacturers. Both are low dollar compared to Ruger and such, but both have lifetime warranties and both seem to stand up. Anyone own a Sub 2000? They are a...

I'm looking at a .40 S&W Hi-Point carbine. I first saw a .45 and really liked it as I shoot .45 pistols as well, but even with reloading, the higher expense is there and I think that the .40 would be better overall for hope defense and for varmint hunting on the farm. I have a .243 for hunting...

When I deer hunt, I shoot behind the shoulder, trying for the heart. My neighbor says that he always shoots them in the neck in front of the shoulder. He says that they usually go down right there and don't travel like they do with a behind the shoulder shot. What is your experience? Do any...

I was in the local pawn shop yesterday and they had a Witness compact in .45 that looked like it hadn't been fired. I talked them down pretty well and carried it home. It was pretty dry inside, but no cracks or evidence of hard use. I lubed it up and took it out for some fun. I ran 50 rounds...

I shoot several pistols: Glock 17, Glock 37, XD40, Taurus PT101, PT145, CZ40B, CZ52. Anyway, after a lot of practice (fun), I'm pretty good with these. The sights are factory set out of the box and all put the rounds where aimed...except the 17. I've had to move the rear site way to the right...

I've been using TiteGroup and like it pretty well, except for it's being dirty. I bought a pound of Silhouette yesterday and loaded some today using the mfg charts and running middle of the road loads (between start and max). I noticed that in the charts, 40 S&W was about equal between powders...

Anyone ever heard of this? My neighbor bought one cheap at a pawn shop yesterday and we don't know anything about it. It's a modern type with a removable plug. It has an exposed nipple that takes a #10 or 11 cap rather than a 209 shotgun cap. You pull back the bolt to cock it and to apply...

I have an XD40 that I've had since February. Love that gun: soft trigger, soft shooting. The only problem I have is that it is dead-on...two inchs to the left of the "spot" (I use a paper plate with a stick-on orange dot at 13 yards). I've used it with a table and support, as well as free...

I have a good friend that just moved to TX from NY and he wants a new Dillon 550b press. He's been using a Rock Chucker and other machine for years and wants to set up with a Dillon now. I found then on the internet homesite, but usually there is a cheaper place to get products. Anyone know...

I'm looking for some hints. My XD40 has a beautiful trigger. Even the striker spring is fairly weak when you move it by hand. The Sigma has a crisp break, but heavy pull and the striker spring is really stout (about twice as stout as the XD. Thanks for the info. Dave...

Why is the recoil and penetration of a .40 S&W round higher than a .45 APC round? In comparing powder loads against similar bullet weights, the .45 take quite a bit more powder than a .40, but most .45s shoot easier, with less recoil than similar .40s. I'm just curious. I love a .45, but it's...

It's a 1911 clone. Heavy, stainless steel. Feels good in my hand. I saw one today at a gun show. They want $350 for it. Looks almost new. What do you think? Thanks. Dave :)

My neighbor has a 9mm Sigma that shoots dead-on for him. Of course he was an Army instructor for the 1911 back in the early 60's so he knows how to shoot. The problem is that at 69 he has some hand problems from injuries incurred throughout his life and now he has a problem racking the slide on...

Look closely. This is a .40 S&W round. The case looked good when I reloaded it. The problem is that I was using a new-to-me powder dispenser and the lock screw either worked loose or I didn't tighten it (I think it was the last). I was loading 170 gr lead wad cutters with 4.5 gr of Tight...

I see talk of the 7.62x39 round, and talk of AK's but nothing on SKS rifles. I'm curious as I bought one yesterday. Its really accurate at 50 yards, so far. Dave :)
