    Guns You Should Have Bought When You Had The Chance, And Now Regret Not Buying

    M1 carbine when they were sub $150 in cosmoline. Model of 1917 K31 when they were cheap

    9mm carry that can flex as a home defense

    Seriously, this ^^^^^^. While I too would recommend starting with the goldilocks 4" 15 round polymer pistol or your choice, NOTHING matches putting a mag down range to develop an idea if a pistol is right for you.

    digital gun safes

    This too happened to me, also with a Winchester branded safe. I was very lucky that I was able to get it open one last time before the digital lock failed permanently. Sergeant Greenleaf went in to replace it, and I think I will stick with mechanical locks from this point forward.

    Don't Neglect Dry Firing

    A laser trainer cartridge, and a barrelblok magazine cartridge https://bloksafety.com/ provides a safe and repeatable training environment. I will use all three of the cartridge simulators for mag changes, along with the laser cartridge and the timer. Helps build solid skills.

    The state of handgun RDS....

    I wrote about my experience with a Holosun HE509T on an M&P 5" 2.0 in another thread. The first 509 survived a mount failure, release from the slide under recoil, struck my head, bounced off and flew through the air for 12 feet, struck a sheetrock wall, and dropped 6 feet to bare concrete. The...

    The dreaded Carbon Ring

    My wife purchased me a Teslong borescope for Christmas. I spent days cleaning "clean" bores and chambers. The Garand chamber had a nice carbon ring that took quite some time to remove.

    High(er) end or Brand name firearm disappointments.

    Really disappointed in a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Pro Series 5" C.O.R.E. Really poor engineering with the plastic adapter plates. The action is not as smooth as my broken in compact. The trigger, while different than the compact is arguably not "better". Smith and Wesson's customer service has...

    The word "infringed" in the context of the Second Amendment

    Why yes, it would. Words mean things.

    Feedback on Holosun 509T mounting, to M&P C.O.R.E. interface

    I purchased an M&P M2.0 5" Pro series model 11828 UPC 022188871388 in December, as the intended host for a red-dot. Prior to purchase I had concerns regarding Smith & Wesson's use of plastic optic adapter plates, but was assured they did not carry loads and were therefore a non- issue. The...

    Taurus TX22 magazine issues.

    I had minor may issues until I changed my loading procedure. I know looks a single round at a time with the follower manually pulled down so that the round just slipped in. I then poison the follower up and back down before paying the next round. I found the above technique aligned the rounds...

    What did you shoot today?

    LC9S Browning Buckmark Taurus TX22 Good day, but decided I needed to give the TX22 barrel a good scrub when I got home.

    Fun time at the range

    Gunny, outstanding! How accurate is your TX22. Mine is on its second barrel, and no longer leads, but it's marginally accurate. It appears to keyhole a round one in a while as well.

    So, what did you buy yourself for Christmas?

    Received a Teslong scope. Now I have three rifles to clean! Used a relatives gift certificate to my home range to get an Uplula. Got tired of blood blisters.

    Racking the slide too hard?

    He did not hurt anything. On any quality pistol a human being is not going to generate enough force to bend, break, or stress the metals involved. On nearly all modern semi automatic pistols the slide at full recoil is going to impact the stop built into the recoil spring assembly. Only with...
