    Anyone here a fan of the Beretta 92FS?

    I also shoot a SAO Steel-I. It's a spendy gun if you can find one, but they are built so well, you can't beat it. Mine is a very low serial number example and is put together with every part fitted tightly to the next like my semi-custom 1911s.

    Anyone here a fan of the Beretta 92FS?

    I am a huge fan of Beretta firearms. For a bullseye gun, be prepared to spend some major dough on accurization as there are few people who are experienced in working the guns to the level needed to win those NM Bullseye competitions.

    The wait for the ideal 10mm is over...this is my "new" S&W 1006 (pic heavy)

    That is an excellent find! The S&W 10 mm are fine autopistols. I've been looking for a 1066 to pop up locally, but no dice yet.

    Beretta 92: Anyone's First Choice?

    I used to carry them all the time (I had quite a few variants of the 92 and 96) until I was enlightened to low-cap 1911s. I still occasionally carry and compete with a 92steel-i since it feels and acts like a 9 mm 1911. With a proper holster and belt, it disappears under a T-shirt. The dozens...

    Remington 700 SPS Tactical to buy or not to buy

    It's a decent gun for a production piece. Be prepared to do some trigger work and maybe some action work if you want to walk it for real. Add in some handloading. Sure, store-bought will make a nice pattern at 750-900 yards, but you need to roll your own if you want groups. And lots of...

    Best powder of these listed for 308 147-168 grain loads.

    Ctone, while all rifles are different, I have found the exact load with fed. match primers produce some very, very tight groups out of my completely OEM Rem. 700P PSS.

    .22 colbri for wabbit?

    Colibris in a bolt rifle are quieter than most pneumatic rifles, but they are still very loud out of a handgun, and will travel very far even with a ricochet. If you've any chance of missing, I'd stick with the bows. My neighbor's gotten rabbit with a bow, but I live in the county and a...

    The Remington 870 of handguns?

    Again, RIA. They're built pretty closely to the original design and work. They also have jazzed-up versions for a little more dough, but they aren't going to break the bank. They also aren't going to be fitted to the level of a Nighthawk or Brown. http://www.advancedtactical.com/

    The Remington 870 of handguns?

    Armscor/ Rock Island Armory makes a great 1911 clone for the budget-minded shooter. BTW, the Beretta 92 has been around for decades, has walked the walk with probably billions (if not trillions) of rounds fired through them, and is standard issue for numerous police agencies worldwide, not to...

    Somebody just tried jumping in my truck....

    Let me guess, around Jeff Davis south of Chippenham? There's nothing I can add to what's been said about pulling up at intersections except keep your eyes moving. I ride motorcycles and bicycles and if there is one thing you do not want, it's to be hit by someone in a car who "didn't see you"...

    Stolen gun a sick feeling and a message for those who keep guns in their car

    Would you care to post a description of the gun what was stolen? It might turn up somehow.

    Open Carry Etiquette

    In addition to looking not like a bum, I take "tasteful OC" to include also curbing any foul language, posturing, or over-aggressiveness. I don't take it to mean any specific type of gun in a specific type of holster (other than not in a "tactical" type drop-leg rig or some sort of rig on a...

    Images of the New Federal Nyclad

    Andre, That's an awesome facetube page you've got. I was able to purchase several of the 50-round boxes of new Nyclad about four months back and at the time they were a good deal. I shot them out of a 6" Python and didn't "feel" them to be any less powerful than standard .38 spl. They do make...

    Recommend a 1911 for $500

    Having owned the PT1911 (yes, past tense), owning a S&W, a Springfield Loaded, and an RIA, the SA is your best choice as far as reliability, fit, AND customer service should you need to use them. The RIA is second banana, it's an inexpensive gun that works, but it aint winning any beauty...

    Weird encounter while walking the dog today

    did you get their license no.? Even if you didn't, you should call your local police's non-emergency number and tell them you've seen suspicious activity at night time and tell them the exact streets and they may send an extra squad car to patrol the area every now and then.

    Why do I group like this?

    How was your target secured? I had similar groupings the first time I took out a new 700 and was sighting in during a gusty day. I didn't know what was causing the double groups until I went out to the berm to lay out some clays and realized the wind was shifting the frame front-to-back every...
