    Silencers - Why?

    Does the range also do Form 4 Transfers? There’s usually a period of months between purchase of suppressior / submission of paperwork and ATF approval to actually take possession of said item. During this interim, colloquially known as”ATF JAIL” the device is stored with the FFL who is doing...

    Sentimental Guns

    I was fortunate to be able to purchase some of the pistols I carried as a LEO (Glock 22, 19, Sig 229) So those are not going anywhere.

    How did you start??

    I got my start in the early 80s, I must have been 13 or 14. Dad gave me a .30 Carbine and a case of ammo. I shot up that case before the week was out. Dad then presented me with one of those Lee “whack a mole” kits, telling me if I was going to shoot that much I’d better make my own. I never...

    Any words for palmetto state armory?

    Being from SC, virtually all my ARs are PSA. I have an early generation AR in 9mm that has been a problem child, every thing else runs like a top.

    school me on cannons

    If you want an actual cannon, it’s going to be expensive to buy and to feed, I usually use a third to a quarter pound charge in my cannons and gunpowder ain’t cheap. Cannon can be funky beasts, join a re-enactment group, check with the NMLRA, find out all the ins and outs of cannon ownership...

    Informal matches with my late brother

    I understand, My kid brother and I shot and hunted together a lot. I was better with a pistol he was better with a rifle. We spent many hours on the range and in the field some of my best memories are from those times. I shared a hobby, a Fraternity, a college, taste for good Scotch and a...

    Target Pistol Recommendation

    I love my S&W 41, it doesn't like standard velocity ammo. It does quite well with high velocity ammo. Its one of the guns I intend to keep for life.

    Considering a progressive press.

    I have two 550s, one set up for small primers, one fro large because I'm to lazy to change primer systems. They've worked well for 20 years. I have no complaints.

    Have you ever downsized your deer rifle choice?

    I've gone from a bolt action 30-06 to a single shot 300 Win Mag, to a single shot 7mm 08. Then I drank the black rifle Kool Aidand have been hunting with my ARs in 300blk and 6.8spc. I've had success with both calibers, but we're talking SC whitetails which aren't all that big in the first place.

    The Best 9mm pistol....

    The Browning High Power is the best 9mm. It's "an elegant weapon of a more civilized age". You can't argue with Obi Wan.
