Last week I was at my local range/store getting some trigger time with a buddy. On the way into the range we came across a used Walther CCP for sale. As it happened, that day I had also brought my H&K P7, which also uses the Barnitzke system to operate (Walther apparently refers to this as...

Does anyone have any smokeless load data for the 50-90? I have a friend who is trying to get into this cartridge but we can't seem to find any data. Lyman 50th has data for the 50-70, but everything I have read says those aren't interchangeable.

Awhile back I got a random itch to acquire an AR-10 type rifle. It wasn't a high priority but I have been considering everything from the PSA PA-10 to several low-to-mid-price brands, to include the Sig 716i and Springfield Saint Victor. There were others but those are the ones I can recall...

Several years ago I decided to show my appreciation to an old friend who I felt deserved a big thank you from me. The way I chose to do so was to get him a nice pistol. In the end the whole project took about 3-4 years and it went through multiple iterations. I rather quickly settled on a 1911...

I went to my local range yesterday to test two new (to me) guns. The first was a S&W Shield 380EZ. I've owned a few over the years and they always seem to find their way into a new shooter's hands. This one will likely end up with my mom. But before I made that decision, I knew I'd have to test...

I've had a story quite some time in the making and thought I would share it here for everyone's entertainment. There's a massive text wall here, but there are also pics at the end too. About 6 years ago I had a fairly generic 1911 for sale. A man contacted me and told me he was interested in...

We recently got a dog for the first time a few months ago. There have been many challenges to overcome (she's a rescue) but it is a decidedly enjoyable experience. The dog gets a minimum of two walks a day or equivalent play time. I usually end up walking the dog at least once a day and often...

I'm looking to change the optic on my AR to an LPVO but I seem to find more questions than answers at this point. I have a Caldwell brass catcher that takes up 1-2 of my Picatinny rails right near the ejection port. I am trying to find a scope mount that will clear this accessory (ideally the...

I stumbled across a rather interesting and possibly unique S&W yesterday. From the markings it appeared to be a Highway Patrolman in fairly nice condition. It was interesting but I was at the store to the consign some guns so I left it there. I had to return to the store today. While I was...

Are there any Shake Awake micro red dots that use the Doctor/Burris FastFire footprint? I currently have a Burris FastFire III mounted to a Glock, but I would like to upgrade it to a model with Shake Awake capability. Any leads are appreciated.

Last year I decided to expand my silencer collection. Picking the "right" ones was and is a daunting task IMO. There are many makes and models to choose from and it's not the easiest thing to sell a silencer if you end up not liking it. At the time I already owned a Saker ASR and I loved it...

I am working on a project to store two of my guns. It involves making a box out of wood from which I can place and draw the guns quickly. My only hang up now is I need a double mag carrier (2 in fact) to attach to the boxes. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that offers carriers that can be...

I recently picked up a Ruger PC Charger that appeared on my local gun store wall. I've been wanting one of these since they came out. In my opinion it's everything the PC Carbine should have been from the start! Functionally almost everything is the same from the carbine but there are a few...

Yesterday I was priming up some Blackout brass converted from .223. Everything was generally going well until a case launched out of my Bench Prime. The offending case had a WCC 05 headstamp (it somehow got primed though!). I put it to the side and kept on priming. Before too long I had the same...

I was at a local shop yesterday and came across a decent Speed Six. Serial number range puts it in the 1981 build range. I'm taking it to the range today so hopefully I will have an update here soon as to how it shoots (maybe some more pics too)!

I frequent a gun store/range in my area. They tend to sell all the typical stuff that moves quickly - various garden variety handguns, shotguns and rifles. That usually works out to plastic pistols and 1911s, Remington and Mossberg shotguns and a slew of AR variants with maybe a lever gun or two...

On May 30, 2019 I submitted paperwork (clearly organized by serial number and held together with two separate paperclips, checks on top) for (2) silencers manufactured by our very own @MachIVshooter. Having already bought another can, I was aware of the long wait. On July 2 I received...

I picked up a TX22 a few weeks ago after playing with a few in the local stores. For $275 OTD it was hard to pass up the opportunity to acquire a striker-fired .22 that functions much like its larger centerfire relatives. The gun is extremely light weight but it handles extremely well. The grip...

Several weeks ago I purchased two Phoenix IX silencers from @MachIVshooter. My local shop finally got them in, allowing me to get the paperwork taken care of and giving me a chance to look at the guts of the cans. My last (and only) silencer is a welded version, so this is the first chance I...

Got my call today around 5pm for my Form 4. The ATF said they received it 6/11/2018, so that makes the total time 10 months, 8 days.
