Southpaws rejoice :D Ruger is doin it

Take another look at it, if its a 1895 and it is a browning made one, I would get it for that price. In the 80s browning did a small run (also the barrel will be marked Made in japan) I believe they only made 5000 in 30-06 and 1 or 2k in 30-40 krag. I have one of each. They don't have the...

Had same life changing moment when I held a CZ. Was a PCR and I knew I would have to get one. I did and will never get rid of it.

Was picking up some range fodder at gunstore when a couple of guys came in to do the same. I picked up a few boxes of black hills seconds as that is what was cheapest. These two guys (younger, 20ish) were getting premium hollow points and talking it up. I head out to my favorite wooded...

In 1999 I was scheduled to go to Iwo Jima for a day. I was on the second of two flights. My friend went on the first and mine got cancelled. Wish I could of gone. My grandfather was in either the 82nd or 101st airbourne during WW2 and made 3 combat jumps including Normandy. My other...

I carry 9BPLE. Can be found for around $20 per 50.

Another vote for cz pcr. I have about 2200 rds through mine, 1 FTF in 1st 500 rds while inexperienced wife was shooting it. Fired over 1K rounds without cleaning or lubing just to see if I could make it hickup. It didn't. Ergos are great IMO, everything is located perfectly. Very accurate...

Curious about the durability of scandium framed 1911s. Want a LW 1911 for carry. I have owned a few 1911s in the past but am no expert. I understand there is something about the LW alluminum feed ramps being beat up (to what extent i am also curious). How is this new fangled scandium...

Federal champion de walmart here is $10.47 a box. Use it almost exclusevly.

Don't bend over. Crouch.

Made a guy in walmart a few months back. Khaki safari vest started me looking. Under that he was wearing a tshirt with the local IDPA club name on it. Then as he passed me I glanced back and he was printing pretty bad. Another time same type of vest, caught a glimpse of a 1911 as the guy...

When I was 18 I was buying some 44 mag as well and was asked if it was for pistol or rifle. This was in a small sporting goods store in Alaska like15 years ago. Guess the feel good law said you must be 21 to buy handgun ammo. So of course I told her my S&W model 29 was a rifle.

Surprised no one has listed a trigger group upgrade. Edit, saw one mention. Quality sights or optic and new trigger. Lots of perfect practice. IMO the AR platform is plenty accurate and reliable. Its the user that needs improvement

.30-40 Krag. Great load, good for young hunters. With the original loading, 220 gr bullet, makes it capable of taking the largest NA game.

Medium framed 4" barrel 357 mag with a heavy hard cast bullet. Can even tote some shot shells to take your lunch. My reasoning on this gun is that it is relatively lite for the power it offers. Being that you will be carrying it more than anything else, comfort is important.
