    .22lr semi-auto pistol suggestions please

    S&W 41 may be the best out of the box 22 available today. That said, the Ruger is probably the best buy per ounce as it is so easy to get parts and it keeps on ticking. Hammerli makes good stuff, but it can be more difficult to keep a pure target pistol operating well.

    Tips for wife to shoot without twitching in anticipation of recoil

    jordan; It would be great if the trigger pull was just one seamless pull. Put that coin on typ of your sight and make one seamless pull and see what happens. If the coin falls, you probably missed the target. When you make the pull, the sights must remain on targert. Once you can do that...

    Eyesight Problem

    I also have eye sight problems[ not getting any younger] and am trying a couple of new things for me. For close up and quick, I'm hoping Crimson Traced has the answer for me. I am waiting on it to arrive. Also, there are certain circumstances when the sights all but disappear and I'm hoping...

    Tips for wife to shoot without twitching in anticipation of recoil

    jordan; you have an excellent question. IMO and there may be other helpful suggestions to come; steadly take up the slack on the trigger. When practicing, the trigger break should not be anticipated. It should come as a surprise. A couple good ways to practice; 1. See how slowly...

    Acquaintance of mine just bought a gun, legitimately worried about his maturity

    Just a few thoughts: 1. Take him to the hospital and let him see a few incoming from the highway. Might even see a gunshot wound. 2. See if a LEO would share some info or photos with him. 3. Check with a morgue to see if he could get some shock therapy there. 4. Find out if his...

    Mineral oil as lube/rust-preventative

    Another LEO ND!!!

    Tips for wife to shoot without twitching in anticipation of recoil

    Some good ideas here, please let me suggest two more. 1. Pull the trigger with a coin on top ot the sight. With a little practice, you can do this with a doubble action pistol. 2. Let her roll some cans. Take her out where she can shoot at fun targets. Rolling cans halps take the...

    Any bird watchers here?

    I don't know about the binocs you mentioned, however, it I was a serous birder, I would look into the stabilized optics. You can use these in higher power, 12 - 15 and get good resolution with little or no shake. Hope this is helpful.

    Wow! It's tax time and the wife is PO'ed!

    Time for you to buck up. Yup, she's right. You will only buy 4 guns next year. Actually money is one of those things you have to do together. If you can't meet the budget spending 7,000 of firearms related stuff, you will have to cut back. Maybe no milk for 6 months, or you could just...

    LEO perspectives

    Anyone got a kimber SIS 1911?

    I can't speak for quality of other Kimbers, but, I just bought a Kimber, CDP II and I am unable to find a thing wrong with it. Finish and fit are excellent. It isn't a Wilson or Baher, but it is tight and shoots well. I have put over 300 rounds through it with not one FTF. I have had two...
