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 ?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Well, back in the spring I reported to you that my new PT-22 was constant failure to feed/failure to extract with seven different types of .22 ammo. Three weeks ago I finally mailed it back to Taurus in Miami with a letter explaining the problems. Yesterday, FedEx delivered it back to me...

I reload .38 special wadcutters for PPC, but I find that factory Remington or Winchester wadcutters work better for me at the 50 yard line. I'm trying to find an on-line source for bulk factory .38 special wadcutters. I would like to buy 500 or 1,000 at a time to save. So far, I've researched...

Well, after researching the various gun forums, I took the plunge a few weeks ago and purchased a new TP-22 in nickle finish with rose wood grips. The dealer had it tagged for $199.00, but I offered $185.00 cash and walked out the door about twenty minutes latter. The first trip to the range...

I got a Remington 870, light contour bbl, 26 ", 12 gauge shotgun that I bought new four years ago. The gun came with IC, Mod, and Full chokes. It has been a great gun for the New England grouse woods. ("partridge" to the locals). Now, I got the hankering to adapt this shotgun to shooting...

Anybody else here like using a 20 gauge shotgun for deer hunting ? I use a old Remington "Sportsman" (3-shot), semi-auto with nothing but the original bead front sight that came on the gun. Gramp took deer with it in the 1940's and 50's; my dad used it for deer hunting in the 60's and 70's; now...

Do you think PPC shooting will ever come back in popularity in the USA ? I was looking through some old late 70's early 80's gun magazines the other day and I was happy to note several feature articles and columns dealing with PPC related topics. I recently moved back to the U.S. from several...

I carry a Glock 17 9mm on the job with Speer 124 grain Gold Dots as the issued ammo. I recently tried four, inexpensive 9mm practice ammo brands for same accuracy; and same point of impact at 15 yards. First, I tried a box of the Walmarts Win 9mm 115 FMJ; the value pack. I was...
