i wasn't going to post this, but the info i gathered might be helpful to some of you. i loaded up 25 screw-tip bullet rounds a couple weeks ago to "resupply" my lcp II pocket carry gun. i shot the old ammo and loaded up the three magazines with this fresh stuff. between then and sunday, the...

i decided to work up a light kicking heavy bullet load for the 44 special. i have never seen or heard of such a thing, so here we go. i shot this out of my 44 special blackhawk, but i am already getting leading just past the forcing cone. i will be using the super blackhawk from here on out...

i don't know why i have never posted about this before, and i have never seen mention of it, so if you are headed through reno nevada stop by sierra sid's (Sierra Sid's Casino) and check out the eye candy. they have the largest collection of colt's saa revolvers and winchester lever aciton...

i started a new project this christmas: shot underwood extreme defender 68 grain ammo out of my lcpII and my brother's bersa firestorm. nice round: penetrated three water jugs, averaged 1214 fps out of my lcp and 1239 fps out of the firestorm, functioned beautifully out of the firestorm and...

well, i finally got out to the range to shoot the heavy/slow 45 colt load that i loaded up way back in june. i shoot in the prescott national forest and it has been closed to shooting since june. so the bullet is a lyman 325gn swc gc dc from montana bullet works. powder is w231 @ 5.0 grains...

there was a thread a while back that had a video that showed how lena miculek holds a pistol. i thought that was cool and tried to adopt the grip. well, it didn't work out too well. my support hand would keep coming off the gun during recoil no matter how hard i gripped with my weak hand...

a couple days ago i i started thinking about my pocket carry situation. i was running different scenarios through my head and a question popped up. what happens if my right arm is out of action (i carry my lcpII in my left pocket and shoot it left (weak) handed) and i have to do a reload (my...

jerry miculek is finally revealing his method of shooting: this is the most comprehensive "how to shoot fast" video to date. it is also the most comprehensive "how to shoot" video to date. i think everyone needs to incorporate these basic shooting skill lessons into their shooting. and...

well, that rule went out the window yesterday. this thing must have had a magnet attached as i didn't even look at the rifles and other handguns in the prescott valley (arizona) gun store. i went right to the "22rf" case and saw this mkII target. i knew i was in danger of breaking the...

my brother came up a couple weeks ago for easter weekend (he is a high school spanish teacher and gets good Friday off). among the various firearms brought along was a, new to him, 38-44 heavy duty that needed shot. well, I had no ammo for my combat masterpiece as an accuracy comparison is...

saturday i decided to do a complete teardown and cleaning of my old 45 cal. blackhawk. she was dirty, but not really bad. solvent and a few q-tips did the job. I have always had issues with my ruger single actions and screws loosening up. a while back I went ahead and put blue Loctite on all...

just a reminder, ibu world cup biathlon is in full swing. just finished watching the men's pursuit race, watched the women's pursuit earlier today. still amazed that the women shoot as well as, or better than, the men. don't know any other sport where women are better than men, even up. murf

i got the darwin award today. i missed a case this morning. i checked all the cases i filled with powder. i saw powder in all fifty of them, but one case didn't have any powder. that one stuck a bullet in my glock 19 this afternoon. apparently i went too fast when checking the powder, or...

i bought a ruger lcp II for pocket carry. i'm real happy with the performance of the gun, but not so happy with the performance with the stock ruger holster. i want to carry the gun in my left pocket all the time and would except the mag release gets pressed (as i finally found out) by the...

i have been using the chronograph a lot lately. i'm trying to work up a +p+ load for my glock 30 so all the loads have to be run through it. if i try real hard, i can get three loads through in a day, but the last load gets run late in the afternoon when the sun really messes with the results...

so, what do you experts think made this track in my back yard? i think a mountain lion. we had rain and snow last saturday so this has to be relatively fresh. murf

for some reason i woke up this morning and decided to check all my blackhawks for loose screws (my new year resolution?). so, i got out the alcohol, qtips and blue loctite for a marathon screw tightening session. well, most of the ejector rod housing screws were loose, so they got a good...
