    Champions choice

    Couple days back they were having computer issues, you couldn't order ammo. I believe it was fixed yesterday.

    Offhand shooting practice

    That is some good shooting. Off hand marksmanship is difficult, that's why many shooters don't shoot that way. I shoot metallic silhouette, shooting at steel silhouettes of chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams at various distances. It is shot standing, no sling. There are scoped and iron sight...

    Why Do You Carry A Gun?

    I'll be 77 in a few months. I have heart failure and arthritis in nearly every joint in my body. There is no way I could stand toe-to-toe with a younger thug intent on robbing me or giving me a beating. I can't out run one either. My only two options are to accept the beating and the...

    Scheels Sporting Goods

    The only Scheels I've been in was the store in Lincoln, NE. Some years back I was visiting family there and went to Scheels to avoid going to the mall with my wife and my cousin. They had a good deal on a rifle that I had the hots for and so I bought it. The staff was really genuinely...

    Another bite at the apple?

    I've owned 3 Miroku reproductions of the Winchester 1885 Low Wall in .22lr. The first one was so inaccurate that it was frustrating to shoot, sent it on down the road. A few years later I bought another one and it was very accurate, but due to a case of dumb A, I sold it for a good profit...

    Anti-cant level for AR15 with Carrying Handle

    Trying to find a level that will mount on the carrying handle or elsewhere that is visible when I aim the rifle. It is not a removable carrying handle.

    Ruger LC9

    I tried out the LC9 when they first came out and I agree, the trigger was horrible, and I didn't buy the pistol.

    Anyone ever go to Hoover Dam?

    I visited there 7 or 8 years ago. At that time a Park Ranger at the entrance asked if I had any firearms in the vehicle. There is also a sign at the entrance stating that firearms are not allowed. The facility is operated and maintained by the Bureau of Reclamation and is located on federal...

    Found a Unicorn at a Gun Show

    I've been lusting for a Shadow 2 Orange for quite a while now and it is the next purchase on my list. I shot 2 Shadow 2 Orange pistols belonging to friends and I gotta have one! Should have gotten one a couple months ago when they were available but right now they are hard to find.

    Found a Unicorn at a Gun Show

    Actually found what I think is a deal at a gun show. Went with some friends to a show in Tampa, FL on Sunday not really believing I would find something that would get my attention. I've been wanting to get a CZ 75 B but based on past gun show experiences I didn't figure I'd get a deal on one...

    Springfield 2020

    I bought one about 2 weeks ago even after reading all the many negative reviews. I wanted to try one out for myself and see if I could get the rare accurate rifle you hear about. I'm a glutton for punishment. Tried nearly 10 different brands, Eley 10X, Eley Match, SK long range, Lapua long...

    The New S&W “Response” 9mm carbine

    Pistol caliber submachine guns were used extensively during WWII and were apparently deemed an effective firearm. Nearly all the combatants in WWII fielded a pistol caliber submachine gun, so if they were an ineffective weapon do you really think they would have issued so many? I would much...

    CZ 75 vs CZ Shadow 2 Orange

    I shoot in club bullseye matches so the pistol will be used for competition. I paid a pretty good price for the Kimber KHX and an S&W Performance Center 1911 that I've been disappointed with their performance, hence the questioning of the capability of the Shadow 2 Orange. Higher price doesn't...

    CZ 75 vs CZ Shadow 2 Orange

    I'm looking at the Shadow 2 Orange. The best price I have found for the S2 O is $1,540 but then I have to pay the receiving FFL's fee. A bit of savings over the local store but instant gratification is tempting. I figured the S2 O is in another league compared to the 75. The Shadow 2 O will...

    CZ 75 vs CZ Shadow 2 Orange

    I've shot my friend's Shadow 2 twice now and am quite impressed with it's accuracy, ability to control recoil, fits my hand great and looks cool. I shoot it better than my Kimber KHX Custom. My main hang up with the Shadow 2 is the price. I can get it at a local store for a bit over $1,600...

    Greek women guerrillas and their guns

    If I remember correctly the year, the wife and I with another couple went to Barcelona in 1971. Armed, looked like military, border guards at the entry to Spain and long gun armed police on horseback in Barcelona. We were setting on the beach watching the sun go down when about 12 soldiers...

    Springfield 2020 rimfire

    I'm not impressed with their 1 inch or less at 50 yards accuracy guarantee.

    Shot a Kimber Micro 9 today

    I have one and it has been my carry gun for 5 years now. It is a bit snappy due to it's small size but that is what I like about it for a carry gun. I carry a spare mag in my pants pocket. I also looked at the Sig but the store owner said he was having warranty problems with them and wouldn't...
