I don't hunt much anymore so I am trying to educate myself on a few things. We have bear here in western NC, they have gotten in my truck,etc. They are not a real problem but I want to continue to hike in the woods so I'm considering carrying a 10mm. I was thinking of a Ruger revolver in 10mm...

I have a Burris Fast Fire on my M&P Core and it makes for much more accurate shooting at least for me. I have the start of cataracts and wear trifocals so the red dot is great. My question is does anyone use a red dot on their edc, how long do the batteries last if you keep it on? I have to turn...

I have noticed (am 63) that the past few months, its getting harder to see the sights on some of my pistols. I am sure others are having the same problem....how are you dealing with it?? Glock OEM sights are not too bad, I rather like them. I have XS sights on a revolver and one semi-auto...

I was looking at some 1911 sites and came across Para. I see their site has not been updated in 3 years. Are they still in business? Buds Gun Shop has very few of their pistols for sale so I was wondering how they are doing. I have heard good and bad about their products....more bad than good.

I just bought the Kimber Ultra Carry II. I fired some reloads and cheap Tula through it. I reload almost all my ammo and the Tula was $7.00 a box so I got some. Anyway I have not fired anything else through it but for the times I fired about 10 Tula and 5 reloads I had failures to go into...

I have been looking for Para pistols and Buds has one model, GB has a lot of used or new old stock and some other sites have none. Are they on their way out? If myself or anyone else buys a Para gun is there still customer support? I have never had one so I never had any experience with them...

I don't have any experience with 10mm, but I was reading where a fellow said he could shoot 40 S&W out of a 10mm gun. I know the 40 is a cut down 10mm but I didn't think you could shoot 40 out of a 10mm. Unless he is doing something stupid.

Does anyone know if the Kimber rimfire target conversion kit for the 1911 will fit any 1911 platform, particularly the Rock Island Armory? I have a brand new kit that I dug up out of the safe, never even used it and sold my Kimber, but I do have a RiA 1911 in 38 super so I was wondering if I...

I have a feeling I know some of the answers but I'll ask of those who know more. I have a lever action rifle in 44/40. Is this ok for deer hunting? I have a rifle I have yet to shoot after about 3 years and am thinking of selling it. But if I don't I'd like to know if 44/40 is just marginal...

I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway. I was fondling a Ruger redhawk, the new one that shoots 45lc and 45acp, SS, hefty. I have a Ruger Blackhawk in 45lc and it seemed so much lighter. Anyway my question is: can a Blackhawk take the same punishment as a Redhawk? I am wondering if...

I was wondering if anyone had any real experience shooting a brass framed BP revolver? Do they last as long as steel if loaded light most of the time? Do they wear out easy? These are a couple things I have heard about brass framed revolvers. I know there are people here who know a lot more...

I was thinking about getting a SS guide rod for my SD9 and the come with springs 16lb,19 and 21lb. Galloway said that the S&W SD9 comes with a 16lb, but that19lb would be the upper limit. Is the different poundage to accommodate hot loads or light loads? The 16lb factory spring comes with both...

I just got a Springfield Armory XDs 4" in 45acp. Love the gun and the way it shoots,BUT The mag release is extremely hard to push in...no way in a bad situation would I be able to disengage the spent mag with just my thumb quickly. Is it a matter of breaking in, is it the mag? Also the slide...

I got some cheap Tula ammo for my birthday. I don't normally buy the stuff but I sure did shoot it :) Anyway the ammo was steel cased ...can these be reloaded? If so is there anything special one would need to know about reloading them?

I saw an ad where a fellow is selling his Beretta 96 a .40S&W with a 9mm barrel and 9mm magazines....so 2 guns in one. I knew that could be done with Glock and I actually have a G23 for 40 and .357 sig and 9mm barrels for it. I did not know you could do this with a Beretta. Has anyone had any...

I just got a 550b and I was looking at vids on set up. I noticed one guy did not get strong mounts and attached the press to a board that he clamps down. I got the mounts...question: has anybody screwed the mounts to a board then clamped it down? If so does it work ok? I like the idea of being...

Was shooting a little bit today using a target from Pistol Training. You start at 3 yds and back out to further ranges. This target is 5 yds. Not great but not real bad. I have seen others do much better. I shot my S&W SD 9VE with cheap Magtech 115gr bullets. The M&P 40 ammo was Freedom...

I know wind messes with bullets on their way to a target, but I was wondering if one was shooting 115gr 9mm @ 7 yards, how fast of wind would it take to move the bullet off course? Not sure if this is the right forum but it's a start :)

I have a like new CZ P09 I traded for. I really like the pistol and it goes with my other CZ's :) It's the FDE. I went shooting with it and my other CZ's. I got great groups at 15yds with all of them except the P09. I got shotgun patterns with it. I also tried a few different brands of...

I was wondering from those who have reloaded 44-40, are there any special ways of doing it? I have read where those type of cases (44-40,32-20,etc) have very thing walls at the top and many get destroyed if not done just right. Any tricks other than going slow and being extra careful?
