    Taurus Gaucho Missing Cylinder Bushing

    I've had 4 Gauchos, and 1 had an issue where the bushing came off in cleaning. Either I cleaned it too much, or the others not enough. Didn't lose it though, and I keep an eye on it from now on.

    My son made a gun comment in school...

    I preempted such a note with a face to face discussion with my kids teachers at the beginning of the year. I highly recommend the face-to-face discussion. It allows a quick dialogue between you and the educator. I also followed up with the principal of the school. Yes its a shame that we...

    GSG-5, a good 22 LR plinker?

    Yeah, its a lot of fun, and pretty accurate. I fed mine CCIs during break in, and it'll run just about anything now.

    Where to get a FIRING replica of a Colt Peacemaker?

    Colt, USFA, Uberti all still make 1873 SAAs (peacemakers). Ruger Vaquero is also an option. Just go down to your local gunstore and ask for one.

    I picked up a 1st Anniversary GSG-5 with the shiny receiver and a Lancay M9. Also some pink boa scarf for my daughter who was in tow. She wanted a Cricket...but she's not quite ready. Next year though.

    Hardest kicking gun you've ever shot?

    Had a Beretta O/U go double-bang on me once. That's about the hardest recoil I've ever felt in a long gun. Maybe the time I used Federal's tactical OO Buck out of an IAC 1887 Lever action. Old fashioned recoil system of wood, steel, and shoulder.

    This is an excellent idea. I've done it a few times, and it's worked out very well for everyone.

    Looking for FFL's in VA to do business with.

    OT - You commute from KD to Reston? Do you have a helicopter? :) The guys at Gilbert's in Springfield (Right off 95 at the 7100 exit for Ft. Belvoir) are pretty good. And if you sell in VA...you don't need one of those guys to help you.

    1st GSSF Match

    Just shot my first GSSF match. It was indoors. It was pretty fun. I scored a 455. Not too bad I guess for a 1st timer with a stock 1st Gen G19 that I bought from a pawn shop 10 years ago. But I know what I'd do next time to bring that score up. I learned a few things. 1) 15secs is longer...

    Post your firearm related injuries here!

    Fired some big boy ammo (Federal Tactical Buck) through my 1887 Lever Action repro. Recoil system of steel, wood, and my shoulder left a pretty deep bruise. Tender for over a week. Also caught the web of my hand in the slide of a Ruger Mark II 22/45 when I working out a jam. That stung...
