Took the course in April 2018. They stipulated “any caliber, any action”, so why not insure a passing score with a soft shooting gun ? I chose my four inch, S&W model 617, .22 caliber. You have the option to shoot the pre-qual either single or double action mode if using a revolver. I...

Rosary in right front pocket (spiritual combat). Bobbed hammer Chiefs Special in left front pocket (worldly combat).

Glock 17: Tested factory and some of my reloads yesterday at 25 yard line. Compared 115 grain FMJ And 124 grain FMJ for pure accuracy. The 124 bullet weight wins every time, no matter my hand loads or the factory stuff. Why ?

Thanks. I think I will spring for the tool head also.

I have a SDB that I got new in 2000 and have loaded thousands of .38 special over the years. Now, I want to try reloading 9mm rounds. I have never reloaded for a semi auto pistol. I'm not interested in making quick conversions between the two calibers because once it is set up for 9mm, it...

Glock 17 Glock 17 in any leather OWB, pancake type holster. Works with any cover garment. One size larger polo shirt with shirt untucked also works. Fears of "printing" are largely overrated.

Why is Gabe Suarez over at Warrior Talk forum so anti-revolver ?? Seems like every time anybody shows any interest in carrying a revolver as a primary defensive handgun, he slams them down like a drill sergeant. Do we all have to have 50-60 rounds on us just to walk out the door ? Should I...

I didn't know that a cylinder choke was available. It's got a 26" vent rib barrel on there now. Some type of aftermarket peep sight that can be attached to the rib ? Please advise.

In 1999, I purchased a brand new Rem 870, Light Contour, 12 gauge shotgun with screw in chokes. I would like to buy a second barrel to shoot slugs (smooth bore,no rifling,cylinder bore). I know the general rule is that 870 barrels can be swapped out with in gauge, but I thought that I read...

I just bought a generation three Glock 17 that I intend to use as a dedicated target gun. The sport of PPC permits me to install adjustable sights on the service auto match (new rule change). Any recommendations for aftermarket, all black sights that can be adjusted for both windage and...

reloaderfred: Thanks for the info on the model 59. I can see that I have alot to learn.

reloaderfred: Sorry about being off-topic, but you mentioned the S&W model 59, 9mm pistol. I just bought a used model 59, that I dated to 1976. I want to use this pistol for PPC "stock service pistol" event. Can you recommend any particular ammo that would be above average accuracy wise ...

There has to be an original police report on file somewhere. Perhaps the Chula Vista PD, or whatever county encompasses Chula Vista. Maybe the local sheriff's department did the investigation. Request a Freedom of Information Act disclosure (or the Calif equivalent). We could get the report...

.38 spl Did someone mention .38 specials ? I've got two S&W model 36's, one model 60, a 686, and a Wessinger custom PPC revolver in .38 SPL. The only autoloader I got is the H&K P2000 in .40 cal. Uncle Sam owns that one.

How to you properly pronounce "ogive" and "meplat". I don't want to sound like a fool in front of an upcoming class when I discuss parts of a bullet. Thanks.

For years, I've used my Rem 870 Wingmaster (12 gauge), with 1-oz. of #8 lead shot, through Improved cylnder choke for my New England "patridge". This has been a successful combination for me. For several reasons, I need to switch to steel shot. I picked up some Winchester Xpert #7 steel shot...

Thanks guys. I've read somewhere before about 6.0 grains Unique with the 158 grain SWC. Can I continue to use my standard Federal primers with Unique powder ? I don't want to use magnum primers or gas checks if I can help it. Thanks.

I have a four-inch S&W model 686 revolver that I want to use as a general woods gun. My press is a Dillion Square Deal B. I have a bunch of empty .357 brass and several thousand hard-cast SWC bullets (158 grain) from a local vendor. The primers are Federal 100 small pistol. What do you...

HKS for duty With the exception of Safariland Comp III that I use for PPC, I've always used HKS for duty revolvers since the early 1980's. HKS has always had a solid reputation for retaining their rounds in the loader until deliberately released by the shooter. In fact, gun writer/trainer Mas...

.25 Acp albania: I almost gave up on the concept of a small, cheap .22 pocket pistol. In the letter to Taurus, I told them that if they could not fix it to send me back a model chambered in .25 ACP, and not .22 LR. Fortunately, they got it right this time, but if I could do it all over...
