    A heartfelt thank you for converting me to reloading

    Just a note to say thanks for making me a reloading convert. I still believe time is money and agree with those who don't reload because that is not where they want to spend their time. In fact, that was my reasoning for not reloading. While we may not get paid for our spare time, It has...

    Plunk test and 9MM CCB Brass Fail

    I've only been reloading since summer but during that time have loaded about 6 thousand rounds. My .357, .44, .45acp, and 10mm rounds have been fine, but I have had trouble with 9mm failing the plunk test. My search here suggested marking the case with magic marker and doing so I found the...

    Yet another Security Six Thread (pics)

    A couple of months ago I picked up a Security Six 4" and a Speed Six 2.75 inch. Today I added to the litter, I picked up this Security Six 6". I have really grown to like these revolvers, it is hard to believe they are 30+ years old. The cell phone pic doesn't do it justice; Here is...

    Picked up my new S&W today - Pics

    OK, maybe I started a little big, but after buying several semi autos in the past year, I decided it was time to add some revolvers to the inventory. I picked up this S&W .500 4" barrel yesterday and took it to the range today. This is the first time I've ever shot a revolver, I was amazed...

    Advice needed- Remington 1100 Trap-t

    Short story - I have a line on a Remington 1100 trap-t that is for sale, seller inherited from his father and has never been fired. Long story - I've only been back shooting for about a year and have focused on handguns, mostly 1911's. I've been thinking I'd like to pick up a shotgun for...

    Mini Review - 1911 Style Coonan .357

    I decided to end 2011 on a high note and picked up a 1911 style Coonan .357 Magnum. After taking it home and cleaning/lubing it, I took it to the range on Sunday. I only put one box through it but it performed with no issues and was an absolute blast to shoot with lots of muzzle blast. I...

    Picked up a new 1911 Kimber Ultra CDP II today

    Picked up my new Kimber 1911 Ultra CDP today and put 100 rounds through it. Very pleased. Easy to manage and very accurate, even with the 3" barrel. Recoil was no more noticable than my Sig 1911 C3. I also put 200 rounds through my recently aquired 1911 STI Trojan 9mm. The accuracy of...

    New AR10 - with 1913 hanguard with match trigger

    I had been looking for an AR10 for a few months and was really interested in the limited run armalite 10a4cbnf 1913. Armalite has been out of stock and I could not find any dealers that had one. Last Saturday night I was bored while watching tv and pulled out the iPad to google it again...

    Drank the 1911 kool aid today - tasted pretty good

    I picked up my SIG 1911 C3 yesterday and took it to the range today. There is really nothing I can add that hasn't already been said. Accurate, love the trigger and more manageable recoil than my .40. My cost of shooting is about to go up with the .45 but it will be worth it.

    Noob needs help with grip - Whacking finger on trigger guard

    I've only been shooting for a couple of months, but have been shooting quite a bit during that time. I am having trouble with my two new aquisitions, a P250c .40 and a P290 9mm. My problem is when I shoot these two firearms, the trigger guard snaps up and hits my trigger finger. After a box...

    P290 - Took it to the range today

    I picked up a P290 at Cabella's yesterday and put 100 rounds through it today at the range. The DAO does have a long trigger pull as reported, but it is very smooth and manageable. There is noticeable snap in this firearm due to the smaller size and it is more punishing than my P238 and P239...
