    Range Report 2.75 inch S&W m69 44 magnum

    I finally got the 2 3/4 inch L frame model 69 44 magnum. Probably the smallest production all steel five shot 44 magnum you can get New grips and the second gun is even more rare. It’s a 2 inch 44 Special S&W 269 with a scandium frame and titanium cylinder. I carry the model 69 on my hip...

    Taurus PT140 Pro

    First, I am sorry if I am in an incorrect board. Second, I have a friend that really likes his Older gen1 Taurus PT140 Millennium Pro despite the recall issues and refuses to part with it. However, he needs a new recoil spring assembly. I have been trying to help him find one to no avail. I...

    Affordable Pistol Rail Weights

    I have always been curious as to the effectiveness of weight based compensators like that on a friend's USP. But it is quite hard to find one for any other make of handgun. I found these below on a site but near $100 per unit just to satisfy a mere curiosity seems extravagant. Especially as I...

    Range Report: 229 Legion, 224 SAS, RIA TCM 1911 in 22 TCM & 9mm

    Like always with my reports all shooting was done at 15 yards. First up the SIG P229 Legion. I love this dang gun. It is possibly the best DA SIG trigger I have yet experienced. I created an awesome group you can see below. The holes not in the group where all me. It is a sweet shooter and I...

    Why more rounds and shot placement matter

    Its an old article but worthy of a read for anyone that missed it the first time. When people ask you why you carry a spare magazine or two point them to this story. A suspect attacking an officer took 14 rounds of 45 and still pressed the attack and it took three final shots to the head, for...

    New 1911 in .22 TCM & 9mm

    I picked up the Rock Island .22 TCM 1911. It comes with two fully ramped and supported barrels one in 9mm and the other in .22 TCM (Tuason-Craig Magnum) which is a hot little round. Its about 2,200 fps for a 40 grain bullet out of the 5" barrel. However, the 22 TCM might be cool but I bought...

    Range Report: 10mm Para Elite LS Hunter & the 2 inch S&W m10 with Shroud Grips

    First up is the 2 inch barrel S&W model 10. I really love snubbie K frames. Accurate and much easier to control than a J frame for the gorilla handed men of the world. All shooting was done with a mix of ammo including 158 grain FMJ, 135 Grain JHP, and 130 grain LRN. Everything grouped about the...

    I finally found a 2" model 10!

    I finally found a 2" model 10. I have been looking for this exact gun for close to a decade but every example I have found in the past was in rough shape. This one is in very nice shape considering its age!! Now, with the Bianchi Lightning hammer shroud grips it will be a new pocket gun for me.

    Tripp Research customer service is top notch

    I ordered some Tripp Cobra mags for my new 10mm Para Elite LS Hunter and they all loaded up flawlessly save one 10 round mag. I could not for the life of me load more than 4 rounds in the mag. I took the mag apart and the follower was very slightly askew. My guess is that one of the legs of the...

    Strykr Covert Carry

    Anybody ever hear of this company. I like the idea of these but I have never heard of the name of the company so I have no idea on quality. http://strykrusa.com/

    I finally own a longslide 10mm!

    I went to my favorite range because they received a 10mm Glock 40, I was going in to buy it. Well, while I was there another gentleman was attempting to sell a Para USA Elite LS Hunter in 10mm. This gun has been on my grail list for years!! And with Para's coming demise:

    Pricing Advice.

    I have decided I need a Beretta M9A3 or a Wilson Beretta 92G. So, this one in on the block. What do you think would be a good price? Its a S&W M&P-40 CORE with a Trijicon Adjustable RMR, a Hogue Hybrid backstrap, and a 4.95" Storm Lake Extended ported barrel with all the boxes for the...

    Range Report: The all new Ruger LCR Ricochet!!

    I was super excited when Ruger released the 9mm LCR. I wanted a 9mm revolver as a back up to a 9mm semi-auto. And as I have Glocks, Berettas, M&Ps, Rugers, etc I did not feel like buying a compact version of each one to share magazines with the full size. I figured the 9mm revolver was perfect...

    Glock Short Reach Trigger?

    I have a student with smaller hands and he wants a short reach trigger similar to the idea on his SIG. He doesn't want a frame reduction as I already asked that. So, my question is: Does any company make a short reach trigger for a Glock; Zev, Lone Wolf, etc?

    All Beretta 92 Range Day

    All shooting was done at 15 yards. The first ten mags are all Mec-Gar mags, the flush fitting 18 round AFC mags and the extended 20 round AFC mags (as you can see the extension on the 20 round mags is not that much for an extended mag). First up is the new-to-me 92G centurion...

    How often do you clean your guns?

    I have always been religious about cleaning after each shooting session. But as this new range opened 2 miles away and I shoot about once a week I have grown quite lazy. It has been some thousands of rounds since I have cleaned my ROBAR Kimber, Beretta 92fs Inox, or Glock, and several hundred...
