    Airforce Condor 32" barrel with R&L shroud

    I just noticed you added an air gun section. I had R&L assemble this air rifle with the shroud. I use a valve that really boosts the power to 200 ft-lbs. On the #4 power setting a 69 grain hollow point is getting around 1050fps. Nice expansion, exploded first milk jug and captured in...

    Sig P238 First impressions

    Ordered this Sig last month to beat Kommifornistahn's ending of the "single shot exemption", as this gun is not on the DOJ Approved list...at least not in this finish. The first 200 rounds of ball ammo had one light primer strike (not sure if it was a cleaning issue or ammo issue, but it went...

    Weatherby SA08 20ga

    Picked up the Weatherby SA08 20ga youth model today for my son, for 450 bucks. Cleaned it, lubed it up and ran 100 rounds through it with my 11yo son. He loves the gun, as recoil is super light. The gun had a few failures to eject, and a couple of failures to come into battery. We'll give...

    Spring Turkey

    Got out about 3 weeks into the season. The birds were a little hard to call in this late in the season. Sorry about the crappy cell phone pic: The bird looks better on the smoker!

    I REALLY tried to hate the Glock 27, but couldn't.

    Took my parents out behind my neighbors farm for some target shooting, point shooting, and shooting from retention. (Also to try out their new Rem 870 to see how mom tolerated the recoil with Fed 00 reduced recoil/limbsaver butt pad....she did great) I surprised dad by bringing the 1911 (he...

    New Phillie followed me home.

    Was at my local gun store a couple weeks ago to see if they had any Thompson Contenders in stock. However, a Colt Government Model, 80 Series 1911 caught my eye. I have not owned a 1911 since 1989 when I sold it to help pay for college books :( Plain Jane, blued steel and double diamond...

    +p ammo in a COLT 80's series 1911???

    Was at my local gun store and saw a new Colt 1911 80 series government model. Something I have not seen there in a couple of years...so, I bought it. The ammo I ordered online last night (I was tired and eyes were a bit blurred) I noticed in my confirmation e-mail that it's +p Federal HST...

    Evaluation of 2 potential SD rounds for my ccw guns

    Tested a couple of .380 hollow points to see if some rounds might penetrate enough that I might consider moving away from FMJ for carry. The Buffalo Bore 80 grain Barnes MIGHT. The Hornady Critical Defense will, most definitely, NOT be replacing fmj. At the very least, I'd like a defense...

    What is the WORST barrel you have encountered?

    I just re-discovered (tucked in the back of my safe) an SMLE my grandfather had in his closet when he died 10 years ago. Just recently I found the milsurp ammo (corrosive primers). I broke this down for cleaning and hit the barrel with bore foam. When I went to scrub it out with the bore...

    CZ 527 in 22 hornet. American or Lux?

    I've got the itch to get a 22 hornet rifle. (was going to get a contender but decided a 5 shot rifle was more to my liking for squirrels, gophers, and even called in coyotes out to 100 yards) Rationale for the hornet: low noise level (compared to 223 and 22-250) It uses the same powders...
