    Busted safe linkage, what's he got to look forward to?

    Co-worker (actually The Boss) came in this a.m. saying "You won't believe what happened to me..." Seems he closed the door and turned the handle on his 5 yr old Granite gun safe, and the handle kept on turning. Now he's got a locked safe full of boomsticks with a free-wheeling handle, and he's...

    Bought a S&W 2206 today, feed problems....

    Just picked up a real nice S&W 2206 for $200 at the gun shop. Ran several mag-fulls of CCI Mini Mags thru it at the indoor range. First couple mags fed without a hitch, 3rd (or maybe it was the 4th) mag had a fail-to-feed (hammer went "click" on an empty chamber with rounds still in the mag)...

    Bianchi Carrylok - Opinions?

    I want to get an open top holster for my XD-9 to use in IDPA and for CWP use when I get a permit. Saw that Bianchi makes a Carrylok to fit it - any comments on how well/easily it works? I'd have to order one (need a leftie, only right ones stocked by LGS), so no way to try-before-buying.

    Sturdy Safe vs. Browning Copper Gun Safe - Pondering...

    I've been looking into getting a gun safe and have pretty much narrowed down the choices to either a Sturdy Safe 2723 (60x27x23”deep) or a Browning Copper series (60x30x25”deep), both firelined. The Browning uses gypsum/fireboard, and the Sturdy uses a combination of ceramic and fiberglass wool...

    Lee Pistol Factory Crimp Die Issue?

    Has anyone noticed a slight OAL length change when using a Lee FCD? I'm loading up some 10mm lead 180gr truncated cone bullets from National Bullet for my S&W 610 revolver. The bullets were seated to 1.258 - 1.260" with a Hornady die to just close the flare, then run through the Lee FCD to...

    Leupold or Warne Rings for Shepherd Varmint Scope

    Recently picked up a 6x18x40 Shepherd scope at a gun show in VA that will be going on my Browning A-Bolt II .308 varmint rifle. I've narrowed down the ring choices to either Leupold QRW or Warne Maxima quick release rings (sitting on Weaver style two piece bases). First off, is there any...

    Barrel interchange on Winchester 1300 Defender

    Got a Winchester 1300 Defender and would like to swap another barrel on it for occasional skeet/trap shooting. Can I just get the tube adapter below to use another 1200/1300 barrel (made for the standard length mag tube) on my extended mag tube Defender...

    Springfield XD-9, few questions

    Might have a chance to pick up one used for @ $350 or so. Briefly looked at it on a whim while browsing for nothing in particular at a local shop, and it's just stuck with me - felt good to handle, comfortable in the hand, pointed naturally, trigger pull was, well, fair (heavier than I'm used...

    Reloading Manuals, Any Recommendations?

    Getting back to shooting/reloading after a several year hiatus, and a quick check of my manual library to current offerings shows that I'm behind by about 2 editions or more. I'll most likely pick up the latest Lyman manual as well as a Hogdon, and maybe a caliber specific Loadbook or two, but...
