    SIG P210 Target - from my perspective

    The recent thread "9mm Pure Target Gun" received several replies recommending the SIG P210 Target, and it got me thinking about my own experience. Some background: I've been shooting for more than 50 years and reloading for almost 50. I have owned and shot a lot of centerfire autoloaders. About...

    Has anyone bought an SKS... Lately

    I see them for sale priced at entry level AR-15 levels So I wonder: what motivates the purchase - not bashing the SKS, just wondering

    The new Colt revolvers don't do it for me

    Am I the only one who finds the new Python and Cobra models ugly? Maybe not on their own, but put one beside any of their older models - including the Police Positive and Official Police - and tell me if you agree Notice the elegant curve of the trigger guard and the cylinder release on the old...

    Girsan Hi Power Magazine Safety

    Trying to remove mag safety on a new Girsan I have watched the videos and I managed to drive the pin out - but the safety will not come out even when I try to pry it out (with quite a lot of force) Do I need to remove the trigger from the frame first?

    What happened to Precision Bullets in Kemp, TX?

    Their web sight has disappeared. Have they been aquired by someone else? I doubt that they were losing money making bullets.

    What is this rifle?

    Obviously an AR, but look at how it sits level on the rest - it appears to have a flat bottomed mag well and a completely different mag release. I copied the photo from an NRA article about scopes.

    Taurus 605 Defender

    I like it in concept - compact and light weight but with enough mass and barrel length to suit the .357 mag. And it costs significantly less than the competition. But I just read the review in American Rifleman and saw the accuracy results Two inch groups at 7 yards - seven yards? Sorry Taurus...

    Taurus Barrel for $100 per inch

    Looking at the auction sites I see that the Taurus 605 runs about $100 more for a 3 inch barrel than the 2 inch barrel. That seems like a lot - am I missing something?

    I hope that the .30 Super catches on

    Why? - because I think it would make a very useful PCC. I have enjoyed shooting the .30 carbine for a couple decades and I think that a lot of others would enjoy it if not for the price of admission. M1's are priced too high for most people and the .30 super I am sure could be loaded to...

    Remington 1100 thinks it's empty

    I have older 1100 with an intermittent problem: Sometimes the bolt will lock back even with another round in the mag. It happens maybe 10-15% of the time. It has been well cleaned and the O-rings are in place. Any suggestions? I am not against sending it out - but how do I find someone who...

    TRUGLO TG8030B2 2X Dot Sight

    I have one and it does the job for me, but I don't really see any magnification to it. To me it's same as a 1X dot. Has anyone else observed this?

    The R51 Remington

    Now this is not an attempt to start a new discussion about how much people hate the R51 I just found a post of mine from 2006: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/what-380-pistol-would-you-like-to-see-made-in-9mm.201222/#post-2457783 Think I can get a royalty check from Remington?

    Would you send this one back to the factory?

    It may be hard to see but the extractor is not quite aligned with the chambers - it is slightly clockwise It does not affect the function, nor does it damage the brass So, would you send it back?
