Evening all, not sure if this is Accessories or Gunsmithing. Mods, move as necessary. Back story: I've been carrying a S&W Shield 9mm Gen1 for a few years. Well since it first hit the market. As a prior 1911 .45acp guy, it was an adjustment to which I adapted. I understand there's a the no thumb...

Posted here and elsewhere … Anybody else know this place? I thought I had a handle on most of the reputable ammunition and firearms related websites around the country. Well an old friend sent me an electronic gift card to ammunitiondepot.com I asked him where he found the place (he’s only a...

x-posted just to avoid hijacking AxisII 's great thread ... I to am looking for my next Shield 9 holster. For basis point, my current carry is [ https://www.desantisholster.com/inside-heat/ ] This is a fine IWB holster, but gradually wearing out. So my choice is an exact replacement, or...

x-post as usual First things first: I'd been searching for a reasonably priced Ruger 22/45 Lite for a while, finally scored one. Wife is a beginner, taking her slowly, added the TK halo bolt extension. It worked GREAT for her! Today was second range day with it, first for her. Happily it's...

Hi all, I finally found a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 *Lite* after a year+ search: I'm pretty versed at searching for accessories, I like to think I know where to search. I'm looking for a field/range holster while hunting "squirrels and sech" [<--- movie reference, extra points for naming it] ...

Not do they bang, not is the website valid, I've done the back story research. The webpage https://globalordnance.com/ shows LRP at a pretty high price. So be it, my decision yea or nay. To the question: The page shows LRP dimensions as: Ginex Large rifle Primers 5 5/3-N (brass cup) 100 per box...

Quick backstory: In the past year my strong (right) hand has been a bit invaded with arthritis. Those that know about it ... know about it. My previous EDC was a Shield 9mm. I'm experimenting with various loads to see if I can complete a trigger pull and/or stand the recoil. My S&W 1911PD .45acp...

-Posted here and elsewhere as usual - Just emptied most of my "holster drawer" at least for my NMBH .45. My custom from member CraigC, aka Graveyard Jack Leather arrived today (albeit a week late thanks to USPS) and it's about as perfect as can be. If you look closely, stitches are...

x-posted as usual Back story: wife has a Charter .38 that she picked out 7-ish years ago. Shot maybe 20 times Her weak hands can't fire DA, she can ear the hammer back, but it's to loud, to much recoil, with 130gr FMJ poof loads. I love my baby, but she's ambivalent about shooting in general...

I wanted to reply to this great thread, but I thought better. The premise was firearms that folks have received handed down. A subtle twist: Guns I plan to hand down: 1. S&W 1911PD scandium. a 29 oz .45 acp 4" barrel with "combat" fixed sights that shoots like a steel Commander. 2. your turn...

I did a cursory search, but didn't really find a relevant answer. I want to get the grandkids (12-16yo) into small game hunting to the extent they want to try. Squirrels predominantly so we're talking .22LR with a Ruger 10/22. Background, I'm a seasoned citizen with hearing well damaged from...

Not a yay or nay rant about gun shows ... Backstory: I live in a very rural area consisting of 6 counties, mine is the largest at ~35,000 population. Every couple of years the the neighboring town (population 4,200+/-) has a Rotary Club sponsored gun show. It's been 5+ years since I went to the...

x-posted On the usual hunt for *versatile* powder for my Sharps .45-70. I've found that Ramshot X-Terminator might be useful for a wide variety (300-500gr lead) of cast bullets. So the question is: does anyone have any yays or nays about it? I'm currently using A5744 and H4198. Is X-terminator...

A while back I tried to enter the 21st century with a digital scale. Never one to go overboard the first time around, I bought a National Metallic scale [https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1019558826 ] as an entry level (misspelled "cheap") digital. That was August 2020. It has a 1 year warranty...

Grandpa (me), daughter, son-in-law, 16 y.o grandson, and 4 y.o. granddaughter. Son-I-L's AR, mosin nagant, my Sharps .45-70, Ruger NMBH .45 Colt, and the hand me down .22 LR Cricket for granddaughter. Absolutely fun time by all. Everybody was safe, including 4 year old. She takes commands to...

No affiliation with them, yada yada. I've emailed them twice. Multiple calls to the 2 different numbers yields disconnected. Yet the website seems to still be up and running. Anybody know for sure if they're running or out of business? -jb, x-posted elsewhere

OK, after the many months I've detailed a customer service disaster with a rifle importer/seller. That was the bad/ugly. NOW the good, fair is fair. x-posted Around early January 2021 I ordered a Caldwell [basic] chronograph from Amazon, it was delivered Jan 13. This is cold weather Colorado...

A little confused about my reloads COAL: .45-70 Chiappa .45-70 Sharps 1874 Load: Rushmore 300gr .459 ; 30.0 gr H4198. All load manuals show max OAL at 2.550. My loads measured 2.50. None would allow the falling block to close. OK, I'll check. Snap caps measure OAL 2.498 and chamber. I...

Well. I have a long awaited repaired rifle (story elsewhere) returning Monday. As luck would have it, I'm taking wife and grandson #2 on vacation out of state. My shootist daughter, son-in-law, and other grandkids are going to house sit to sign for the delivery, and asked to use my target stands...

Somehow this just seems too elementary, but gotta ask. Background: viejito, shooting and reloading for ... ~50ish years. Retired, newly found disposable income gets me my first ever chronograph. I received a nicely configured tripod for Christmas last. Nice range, concrete shooting tables, etc...
