My BP hunting days are over, but I continue to enjoy my .44 stainless Ruger Old Army (I'm a sloth at care so stainless is good for me) and recently I picked up a nice Italian SS Armi San Paulo 1858 .44 also in stainless to go to the range with the Ruger. As soon as the chilly weather warms up...

I have a fishing bow with a rail mount for night fishing snake heads and Tilapia. I currently have an Olight PL-2 1200 Lumen Valkyrie on it and it looked VERY similar to the Olight Baldr at 1350 lumens with the EXACT same battery arrangement but with a green laser to try out on skittish fish...

I'm a long time Dillon user with two 20+ year old 550's. I recently unpacked my old RL450 (unmodified) after not being used in nearly 12 years to again load .357 Sig and found that the shell deflector was missing. I called Dillon and tried to give them my master card, and they refused it...

I've been casting a L-O-N-G time and the things that bothered me about it were having the waxy mess and sizer heaters to leading barrels and smoky sessions at the range. Last year I started powder coating my .45, .40 and .357 Sig bullets and have been loading the .40's and .45's ever since...

I've had quite a few "standard" (screw on longer threaded barrel and threaded standard barrel) comped guns from Tanfo, Colt, and Springfield in .45, 9mm and .38 super, and I recently got a "Kaw Valley linear comp" for my Sig P220 ST with Sig OEM 5" bbl. This one surprised me by not cycling a...

I've owned my armor for awhile, and as bought it was sold as a IIIA level, but curiously the "plate" or "panel" it came with is not marked per NIJ standards. Also the label in the vest says it offers no protection WITHOUT a plate inserted, a bit of a surprise there as it's front and rear are...

I'll admit that in my life, and generally and across the board in products I use, I have brand loyalty. From the brand of mayonnaise to bread to electronics I buy I give first choice to certain brands. Invariably it's because I've had very good experiences with a brand and I'm reluctant to...

Years ago (in the 90's) I shot fairly regularly with several co-workers. One was rather inexperienced and had some ratty revolver. He asked if he could try some on my pistols (a Sig P229 in 40/.357 and Beretta 96D also in .40) and while he could not hit the barn with his revolver (Rossi?) he...

When I had my will made up the Attorney was a bit forceful on it being a "good idea" listing my valuables in my will. I later found that for probate work on estates between $100,000 and $900,000: they collect 3% of the estate’s value. Nice, trying to get a nice legal attachment to my assets when...

All my shotguns were either chosen for how they fit and naturally pointed where I was looking, or I was able to make them so after the sale. With handguns it's different. Some like center fire polymers, Ruger .22's Browning .22 Challenger etc. don't point for me and can't be fixed. My best...

Have you folks had an "ideal" purchase on your bucket list that you eventually bought AND were disappointed in it but still like it enough to keep it? Having an all steel handgun preference (cast in stone) in competition automatics two recent buys fell short for me. Without posting a long...

I've never known a BMW, Rolex, or other high end product to crab about performance, or value. I've had both and I can say they keep spare parts for a reason. That said, I've owned a couple of high(er) end pistols, and in general some were worth the $$ uplift, in others not so much. Over the...

I shoot regularly at a local range and now more than ever there are a number of new gun owners struggling with their brand new firearms. Being able to help I generally do so and take some time giving them pointers on stance, grip etc. It not only gets me clients for private lessons but...

When a 13 year old could walk into town with his .22 on the shoulder and nobody looked. When for twenty five cents (twenty cents on sale) you could get a box of .22's. When Dad said having a nickle was like being a rich kid. I thought he was kidding... I was rich with a quarter! When in high...

I'm in the middle of a couple of builds and there's a REALLY disturbing trend I am seeing in tracking packages. I do a fair amount of purchases online and I NEVER saw a "MISSHIPPED" entry and just this week I saw THREE, add to this I'm seeing up to six scans in the SAME location, with Arrived...

I'm an exotic fruit tree collector and after several years the vermin (squirrels and rats) recently discovered my mini fruit orchard. My dog absolutely HATES ANY animal in her queendom and somehow sensed through closed doors when they were there and alerted me. It took a couple of weeks with...

A few months ago I started powder coating several thousand bullets I cast years ago. I had many .40 and 9mm bullets cast but since TMJ and FMJ's were so cheap I use them instead of my own cast. Since bullets became unobtanium and I REALLY disliked the smoke and lrading my bullets caused...

I'm looking at a Beretta "Marshall" and like it, but are the case colors real (bone/charcoal) or just a crappy removable metal die? Thanks, Gary
