    Glock preventative maint' video

    I'm not a Glock guy (don't own one, don't have any interest in owning one), but I happen to know and very much respect the guy who made this video about how often he replaces various parts on his competition Glocks. For anyone who runs high round counts on Glocks, this may be of interest. I...

    Favorite .224 projectile for hogs?

    I'm not much of a hunter, but a fair number of feral hogs have started to appear on my family's mountain cabin property (in southeast TN). They're doing hog stuff, tearing up the ground. It's time for some sort of cull program. I'd like to load some suitable .223/5.56 rounds for this...

    Delightful Reddit thread with Beto

    Mr. O'Rourke decided to host an "Ask Me Anything" thread on Reddit. As Reddit generally leans left overall, I'm sure he anticipated a completely warm reception. Well, the pro-gun-rights, statistically-literate folks found it. Beto's plans to "take your AR" is the subject of a great many...

    Open carry is over

    Looks like the vast majority of general-public retailers are adopting no-OC in their stores/on their property. OC will still be legal in many places - you just won't be able to go anywhere or do anything while OC'ing! The whole urban/suburban/retail OC phenomenon was an interesting little...

    Decent article re: "assault weapons" in my local paper

    From the publisher/owner's national group. https://www.ajc.com/news/national/assault-weapon-assault-rifle-what-the-difference/LPXLAj8ZcHkPn2rLn3bOGK/?fbclid=IwAR2RIzG9dONFsfHmBsfeuZkoIj_QSdd6dOr7YaDcTYma02cV3jDGpTQ_hEg Actually makes many of the points we are often calling out.

    How to stop flinching, see the sights, and quit missing low-and-left

    I. Why discuss flinches? The flinch is, by far, the most common and most serious marksmanship problem in handgun shooting. There are more pistol-shot targets at a typical range with a low-left pattern than without. It is ubiquitous among newer shooters.* For many, the problem persists for...

    JJ Racaza now a Beretta shooter

    JJ just signed to shoot for Beretta. Looks like he'll be shooting their new 92X for Production. I guess he'll be another one of those guys who shoots a sponsor's production gun, but keeps shooting his custom 2011-type things in Limited and Open? Or maybe Beretta plans to make him something...

    Which 10/22?

    I'm thinking of picking up a 10/22. Primary purpose would be plinking and teaching my daughter to shoot, with some Steel Challenge a possibility. It is my intention to stick a red-dot of some sort on top. Over time it is possible that I might drop in upgrade parts, but don't plan/need a...

    Hilarious/scary nonsense from Sen. Harris

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/15/politics/harris-gun-import-ban/index.html "Sen. Kamala Harris on Wednesday will announce that, if she is elected president, she will ban the importation of all AR-15 style assault weapons by executive action if Congress fails to act in the first 100 days of her...

    Comment from local law enforcement re: thieves, cars, and guns

    About a week ago, someone broke a window on my car in an effort to break in (the tinting film held the window together and the criminal gave up). The same night, the same person or persons got into my wife's vehicle that she had left unlocked. They rummaged through the junk in her car and...

    Is USPSA an "arms race"? (Hint: No.)

    Short version: There have been times in the history of USPSA/IPSC when major technological developments or major rule changes made previously-competitive guns obsolete or non-competitive. That hasn't happened for a while. Any gun that was competitive 5 years ago is still competitive today...

    RMR 124 grain JHP's in 9mm Major

    I've recently started loading 9mm Major*. I got a batch of RMR's 124 JHP's to experiment with. So far, I am impressed. Here are some of my observations: The weight tolerance on these is tight. Combine these projectiles with sorted-headstamp brass of similarly tight weight specs (such as...

    New 9mm open gun adventures

    As a follow-up to the prior thread on my surrender to the dark side, I thought I'd share a few observations as someone who is entirely new to the whole Open gun thing. Everyone knows compensators tamp down muzzle rise, but I've been surprised at how effective the one on my gun is at slowing...

    I gave in

    EAA/Tanfoglio Limited in 9mm, re-barreled with Durso/Kneeling Atlas cone-fit compensator (original barrel also shown), EGW sear and hammer, various Henning parts, and the obligatory C-More. Just beginning the process of creeping up to major PF. After 5 years as a dedicated iron-sight shooter...

    Best value chrono for INDOOR testing?

    I'm looking for a chronograph that will work well at an indoor range - I understand many will require add-on lighting and screens to deal with the flourescent flicker of the ambient range lights. Use will primarily be testing handgun loads, so magnetospeed is out. I covet a labradar, but not...

    Team event (in practical pistol)

    I am toying with the idea of an outlaw/fun match that would pair shooters together to shoot courses of fire basically under the USPSA rule set - except with the modifications necessary to make teams work. I am envisioning two kinds of courses of fire: Field courses broken into two strings with...

    If THR reloading talked about cars:

    OP: "Hey, I'm thinking about buying a BMW 340. Anyone have one? How noticeable is the performance difference between the BMW and the Honda Accord I'm currently driving?" Reasonable question, right? First few responses: "Good car, not perfect, but, yeah, it will perform noticeably better than...

    USPSA Limited Nationals

    The results from the Limited nats are just as interesting as the Production ones, especially when taken in context with the other 2 nationals matches that just happened. 1st place in LTD is JJ Racaza. JJ won the Open championship earlier in the week (and was the only handgun shooter to "win"...
