Hello, I have a Colt New Frontier in .44 Special that was manufactured circa 1981, which I believe makes it ‘3rd generation.’ It shoots fine and spent cases are not difficult to eject. However, the trigger (to my amateur senses) feels a bit stiff and the grips are poorly fitted. I am...

Hello all, I’m a lifelong shooter of Ruger revolvers. SP101, GP100, and a super single six. I’d argue my GP100 has gotten its own trigger job by way of the thousands of rounds of .38 over the years. But today I picked up a S&W 63 on a whim since my LGS had sold the SP101 in .22 that I went in...

I’ve been tinkering with an MPX for quite some time now. 13.5” barrel with a 2.5” flash suppressor to keep it legal. Initially tried 800X with 147 grain FPs, but at max load only got about 900 FPS. Frustrated at first, I’ve come around to liking them as they’re very quiet and minimal recoil...

Humbly submit the following question... I was given 200 rounds of factory Winchester .45 ACP by a good friend moving to DC. He got it from his uncle.. when I saw that it was in Dillon plastic cases, I asked if he knew any more about it. He did not. So I left it at that. Now I know don’t ever...

Is .38 Special ammo within specs without an extractor groove? I shot some Blazer .38 Special today at a LGS and it gave my Winchester 1873 fits in both loading and extracting. Turns out it had no extractor groove. Never seen this before.... will likely reload it, but keep it for revolvers.

I've got a Smith & Wesson M&P MOE. All black plane Jane wearing an Aimpoint PRO and a simple two-point sling. It co-witnesses quite nicely. It's super reliable. I've got plenty of cheap steel-cased ammo and probably 1000 rounds of Wolf Gold, not to mention the various nicer piles of ammo that...

I'm always trying to find something new in terms of a challenge for hunting. This year, I opted to go for a Remington 11-87 rifled 12 gauge slug gun. On top of it, I ended up with a Leupold VX-R 1.25-4X, complete with the red dot in the crosshairs. Sighted in over the summer at about 50 yards...

So, bored on a flight and trolling the interwebs, I stumbled onto this photo. It's allegedly a 1940s arctic patrol conducted by the US Coast Guard. Is it a Thompson SMG or something else? Also, with the temps well below freezing up that way, I assume they were using guns that lubricated with...

So, years ago I bought a pound of 700X for pistol loading. New to reloading at the time and in the middle of the supply crunch in 2013, I was just buying any components I could find. Last week, i finally loaded up my last batch of .38 special and retired the last few grains. A few thoughts on...

third time out with my MPX and comfortable enough with it to post some thoughts. I've got the Gen II 13.5" barrel with a 2.5" flash suppressor and collapsing stock. Lucky it's not the earlier version with the tuning fork flash suppressor - that thing was absurdly annoying to listen to it ping...

anyone heard if the Foster L3 lawsuit is finalized yet? Supposedly the last fairness hearing was last week, but I can't seem to find any updates on if I'll ever see a payment for the HWS I mailed back months ago.

So i've loaded up some Nosler 200 grain jacketed hollow point bullets with 22.5 grains of Accurate #9, per the Nosler reloading manual. No signs of overpressure with the first four out of my Winchester 1892, but they chrono'd right around 2025 fps when the manual says I should be seeing velocity...

Well, this year's deer season is over. After taking a doe during archery season, I set out during the gun season to take a deer (doe or buck) with my Remington 700 SPS. It's a heavy rifle that I've only used for target shooting up until this season. After 8 years or so, I figured it was time to...

Morning, I've been loading and shooting a fairly new CZ527 lately. 1 in 9" twist, .223 American model. I had it dialed in with Hornady 40grain VMAX bullets for a while (shooting 3 shot groups at 200 yards at 1.3"). But I wanted to see about working up a good load with Nosler 60 grain...

When the NRA Supported Gun Control - TIME https://apple.news/AdMe2sy-ARpeTHwx10eH6JQ "Not only did the NRA support gun control for much of the 20th century, its leadership in fact lobbied for and co-authored gun control legislation." It occurred to me after reading this that perhaps we didn't...

So I was shooting a swinging steel target with some .223 Hornady VMAX bullets last weekend at 200 yards and after each shot, in addition the steel swinging a bit, there was a very obvious cloud of 'particulates' (for lack of a better word) that would rise up from the target like a dust cloud and...

So months ago I picked up a CZ527 American in .223. Standard gun with walnut stock and I've got a Leupold MKIII 3.5-10X in the CZ-supplied scope rings. I planned on setting this up for coyote/fox hunting, so from the start, I've zeroed at 200 yards. Right out of the box and with some PMC 55...

So I was trolling the news the other and stumbled across this: http://www.businessinsider.com/gun-and-immigration-laws-wont-help-2016-6 "Let's assume a law banning the sale of assault weapons was passed. That would stop the number of these weapons from rising. But unless the 1.5 million...

Well, I picked up an Eotech 512 at an Academy sports store in Mid November of 2015. I mounted it on a remmy 870 and just got to shoot it today. I put a few turkey loads through it, but mostly just cheap target loads for fun. Turns out the sight turns itself off at random while firing. It's...

I'm no wildcatter myself, but has anyone ever explored the possibility of an elongated 9mm case that would have the same velocity bump as 10mm does over .40 ammo? Seems to me that an average 180 grain bullet gains about 300 fps with the 10mm, usually hovering around 1300 fps, whereas the .40...
