    Patterning problems

    I finally got out and patterend my shotguns today. The results were interesting to be sure! The Mossbery 500 I`ve been shooting trap with patterned really high. The whole pattern was above or just touching the center of the board. I dunno how I`ve been shooting even 10-20 like that! It does...

    CZ-40P vs. XD-40

    I have a CZ-40P. It`s a good gun. It`s reasonably accurate,pretty reliable,has a nice feel in the hand and rails for my M3 light. But...it`s not as accurate,reliable or good feeling as my CZ-75B and the trigger isn`t as good either although it`s fine. It`s chunky like a Glock,not svelt like the...

    Ceiner .22lr AR-15 conversion

    These seem like a really great deal for the money and they already offer 30rd. hi caps. Any downsides? I`d love to hear some feedback from guys who own them. Marcus

    Scout mount and red dot on AR?

    I recently picked up a Bushmaster XM15-E2S with CAR stock. It`s got A2 sights which are okay but I`d like to try some optics on it. It`s got a fixed carry handle and I`d rather not have it up way high. How well do the scount type mounts that cantilever the rail down and in front of the handle...

    XD .40 Compact ?

    Springfield`s web site shows the Compact in .40 but my dealer doesn`t think they`re out yet. I told him to get me one in stainless if he can. Anyone know if they`re in production? Marcus

    What to look for in a .44AMP AUTOMAG?

    I`m starting to actually look for my "ultimate handgun" a .44AMP Automag. I know a few guys here have them and I was wondering if you had any tips on what to look for? I`ve browsed all the Automag sites I could find but I`d like to hear more if I can. I don`t care much about the "collectability"...

    Blackhills 300gr.JHP .44mag. velocity?

    I just picked up a box of these for my Super Blackhawk. I wanted something with some serious "horsepower". Cabelas also had Hornady 300gr. XTPs at around 1150fps and Buffalo Bore 305gr. at around 1300fps (oh baby!). The Hornadys were cheap but "slow". The Buff Bore was cool but big bucks ($36.99...

    CZ-40P- first impressions

    I made the mistake of stopping in at a local gunshop "just to look around" and ended up coming home with a shiney new CZ-40P. For those not familliar with this model it`s a limited production hybrid of a CZ-40 slide assy. on a PO-1 compact alloy frame. As soon as I picked it up I knew it was a...

    Guns for night pests around the ol homestead

    We live on a small farm out in the country. We have a bunch of outdoor animals/pets and from time to time we have problems with feral cats/dogs and now coyotes. We`ve lost a few critters already and I`ve started doing occasional night patrols,especially when we hear something outside that...

    CZ-52 trigger SLAP !?!?

    I finally got out to the range today with my "new" CZ-52. Muzzle blast was everything I was told (fun! Not as loud as my ported 10mm BTW) and the recoil was more than expected (with S&B ammo) but easily controlable. The problem is that it slapped the hell out of my trigger finger with every...

    Topping mags off,who does it?

    Just wondering,when you load up your CCW do you just smack a mag in it,rack the slide and go or do you pull the mag and top it off with another round? I generally leave it downloaded by that one round to take some heat off the mag spring. An article I read years ago showed that adding the last...

    Efficiency with full sized vs. compact pistols

    I`ve been thinking about this and I`d like to hear some more opinions on it. How much do we give up by going to smaller CCWs and how little is too little if the SHTF? I`d say out of my numerous CCWs I`m most efficient with my CZ-75B. I can present it swiftly and cleanly and engage targets...

    Single action grip frame mods

    I`m a big fan of the Ruger Bisley grip shape for it`s feel. However I also like the look of the Dragoon style Colts and Super Blackhawk. The solution seemed obvious enough. I reprofiled the rear of the grip frame on my Super Blackhawk to resemble a cross between Gary Reeder`s Gunfighter grip...

    Wood grips and front sight for S.B.Hawk

    I just picked up a stainless S. Blackhawk .44mag that`s seen better days. It shoots great,it`s tight and the trigger is great but the finish needs a little help (beadblasting) and some "customizing" needs to be redone. For starters the grips are huge Pachmayers that fit pretty poorly. I`d like...

    Adopted orphaned S. Blackhawk

    I wandered into a gunshop today that I don`t frequent much to kill some time while my wife was shopping across the street. What do I see but a .44Mag. stainless Super Blackhawk for $199 (!!!). :scrutiny: Hmmm,says I. Upon closer inspection the outter surfaces have some blemishes here and there...

    Automag IV .45 Win. Mag. ???

    Oddly I`ve seen several of these for sale lately. I`ve always wanted an original .44 AMP Automag but their price is out of sight. I don`t care for the IV as much but they seem like an economical way to get into a big bore magnum auto. Anyone have experience with these big boys? Current market...

    Stevens Favorite .22

    Ever since I was a kid my Dad has been saying he wanted a Stevens Favorite falling block .22. He`s not a real avid shooter but every time we`d go into a gunshop together he`d have to handle one. I dunno why he never bought one for himself but I`ve kept my eye out for them at gunshows and such...

    "new" S&W 4053 range report

    I picked up my "new" KY Imports police trade in 4053 this morning. It`s nice and tight and doesn`t look like it`s had many rounds through it. The exterior has some light blemishes on the stainless slide but the aluminum frame is still very nice. A little elbow grease and a very fine scotchbrite...

    DAO Smith action

    I`m looking at picking up a police trade in compact .40 Smith (4053) and I`m wondering how you guys like the S&W DAO triggers? For those not familliar with them they`re somewhat similar to a Glock in that they cock partially when the slide is racked so the DAO pull can be shorter than the DA...

    Gunshop charges to order a gun?

    I`ve been looking at S&W auto police trade ins lately from CDNN and KY Imports. I asked my local gunshop about ordering one in for me and they said they`d charge the listed price + 20% + transfer fee/NICS to order it in. Maybe I`m wrong but that sounds like a LOT to me. What do you folks...
