The manufacturer said so and it's true. I'm surprised, actually. Just general information that others might find useful. Burris Fullfield II Ballistic Plex, 3x9x40 Mounted 2.6" height over bore Magnification set to 8X Zero distance 200 yards M193 ammunition Burris claims accurate bullet drop...

So I don't own a .22 pistol. I shoot and carry a 1911 almost exclusively. So I began looking at .22 caliber versions. I've looked at, but not shot: Blue Line Mauser Colt (made by Umarex for Walther, licensed by Colt) GSG (sold under their name and under Sig Sauer) Chiappa Most of the articles...

Will be travelling through several states and have no problem with reciprocity except IL. "Safe Passage" law supposedly protects a non-resident who is not stopping other than food and gas. However, I have found little help on the IL AG site, it is publications informing residents of IL law...

The backstory: My son (15 yo) is an avid WWII amateur historian and has been seriously hankering for a Garand for some time. Well over a year, which is a long time for a kid. We're going to Port Clinton for a walleye charter in July and our motel is a mere 15 minutes from the CMP store. He's...

I'm a fan of Alien Gear IWB holsters, specifically the Cloak Tuck. I recently bought and tried a new thing from them, the Sport Band. It's similar to the "belly band" that's been around for years but greatly improved. Your Alien Gear holster attaches inside the band. Useful for wearing...

Allow me to ramble for a bit, it will be worth it if you shoot open sight rifles much. We all know that one minute of angle is 1.047" per 100 yards. But most don't know why this is. 100 yards is 300 feet. 300 X 12 = 3600 inches. 3600 X pi (because it's a radius around you) = 11,309.73355...

My son's hobbies of shooting and WW II history came to a meeting last Saturday. He was ogling a rifle two lanes over and the random stranger handed my son a M1 and a box of ammo. A lesson on loading and my son is hooked. I'm contemplating getting him a rifle from CMP for Christmas. Which...

So here's the whole story: I have passed 25 years with my employer and the service award is anything of my choosing up to a value of $500, including gift cards. The plant manager says a Palmetto State gift card is good to go. Palmetto sells a 9mm AR pistol with 8" barrel and KAK Shockwave...

So my wife found a pistol she likes. Springfield XDS 9mm with 4 inch barrel. 3.3 inch was a little hard for her to work the slide. Then Springfield, in their infinite wisdom, stopped making it. The one she handled, and the last one at a local shop, sold before we got back there. The very...

Title says it all. An old friend is fond of wheel guns. He has a carry gun, holster, speed loaders and speed strips as well as (for him) an adequate supply of ammo. He's in his seventies, prefers shoulders holsters, uses .38 Spl exclusively. I'm open to suggestions under a hundred bucks.

No, not asking whether or not to choke my son, even though he is a teenager now. He got his first shotgun for his birthday, a Mossberg 500 youth model 12 gauge. Full house loads are a bit much for him right now, he's very thin and new to shooting a shotgun. So I've been reloading lately. I...

So i went to the annual D-Day re-enactment in Conneaut, Ohio today. Full scale beach landing with amphibious landing craft, air support, artillery, the whole works. Over 1,500 re-enactors took part. My son is becoming a bit of a history buff, it was fun watching everything unfold, answering...

Quick background. I'm not a shotgun guy. I am pretty good with a rifle and a handgun, but my shotgunning is limited to chasing bunnies and birds in the fall. When I'm having a "good" day, serious shotgunners are laughing at me. My son is old enough that he needs his own shotgun, I have a...

So it was decided that I would take my two nieces and nephew to the range. I agreed, as long as it was one at a time so they would pay attention, not be goofing off. Today was the first outing, my oldest niece and sister-in-law went with me. We spent about 4 1/2 hours shooting, I took samples...

I'm going to have a need for a shoulder holster this summer. It won't be used often, as I vastly prefer belt holsters and have a few IWB and OWB to choose from. The occasion is a several state road trip. The pistol is a 1911. Since it won't be used much, it'll probably just be my "road trip"...

First paragraph is informational, for those wanting the short version, skip to the second paragraph. I have a 12 year old son who has shown an increased interest in shooting and hunting this year. He's been shooting with me many times and out hunting several times already this year. Actually...

I shot a USPSA match last week. Didn't set the world on fire, but I didn't embarrass myself either. But I didn't shoot the match to win. I shot it to have a good time and take advantage of the training opportunities the stages offer. That's the problem. The club (I'm not a member, it...

So I was buying some other items and thought I'd give the ALG QMS trigger a try. Relatively inexpensive and makes no claims to be a target or match trigger, just an improvement over the typically long and gritty pull of most stock triggers. I'm probably telling you something you already...

I have an 11 year old son that has recently developed an interest in shooting. He's been generally ambivalent about it before, so I haven't pushed. Just general safety when we've gone shooting together a few times in the past. He has a grasp on finger off the trigger, muzzle awareness and use...

I was browsing random stuff online and found a company I'd never heard of with shooting gear and surplus stuff at extremely good prices. So I gambled and ordered some stuff. Total order cost, including shipping, was just short of 70 bucks. The company (yes, I'm holding out and building the...
