I was preparing for a hunting trip the other day. I was threading a belt through the plastic belt loop thingy on the back of a Sidekick holster. The plastic crumbled in my hands. This particular holster is about 10 years old, stored in the house and only used occasionally when I want the...

Eli Wallach passed away yesterday at 98. The Ugly of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." And the head bandit Calvera in "The Magnificant Seven." What an actor!

I noticed an ad for these in American Rifleman. They are made in Israel and touted as having a really precise laser-welded seam. Anyone have any experience with them?

I finally found some of this stuff, actually AMMOLOAD, on the range, after reading about it a few months ago. I definitely would not recommend it for reloading. The "step" inside that is purported to be there to prevent setback sits so deep that a 124 gr. FMJ bullet of typical profile hits...

Recently I started a series of chrono tests at Tac Pro Shooting Center in Mingus, TX. Chronograph is the inexpensive Shooting Chrony F-1. I'll only be reporting average velocities for each load. Most of the tests will be in a variety of handgun calibers, but I started with one short AR...

Hard to beat RCBS customer service. The powder hopper on my 25 year old Uniflow powder measure finally got fouled inside to the point where I couldn’t remove all the old powder. You’re not supposed to let the powder stand in the hopper overnight, but I have to admit I do, sometimes for...

Widener's has RCBS sets on sale. .223 FL $26.00 .308 FL $30.00

Since it was reasonably cool this morning, my wife and I went to Tac Pro Shooting Center in Mingus and fired a bunch of rounds through her Security Six and my M&P9c. For the M&P we had Missouri Bullets 125RNL ("Smallball", lately changed to 124 grs.) over 4.3 Bullseye with an OAL of 1.116"...

I ordered 2000 9mm 124 gr. "Small Balls" from Missouri Bullet on July 5. Got them today. Same excellent quality as usual. They run real well in my M&P 9c. Pretty good service I'd say. And they do offer a THR discount!

Today, a Colt LE6920 at Walmart for $1097.00. Sig M400, $1147.00. And others. Augurs well!

Just bought a brand new M&P 9c, with safety. Cleaned it, lubed it, and ran 123 rounds through it, 50 Blazer Brass 115 FMJ, 50 Rem. UMC 115 MC, and 23 Fed. Champion 115 FMJ RN. The ammo is inexpensive range stuff I bought at Walmart. I'm happy to report that the new pistol functioned 100%...

The July 2012 issue of "American Rifleman" arrived today. On p. 48 is a photo of a soldier holding an early version Armalite AR-15 equipped with a "waffle mag." Some people call them "cross-hatched." While these mags have become highly sought after collectibles, I can personally attest that...

I do feel guilty, so I confess I am a brass wolf. I went to the range the other day and fired 40 rounds of .223 out of my AR. (M4gery) Scarfed up what I could as a good wolf should. I culled out the obvious rejects like the stepped on cases. And ended up with 162 perfectly good...

Have had a bag full of "1K 03, 5.56 X 45" Bosnian brass sitting around for quite a while. Range brass. This is the stuff with the small flash hole that hardly anyone's sizer/decapper will successfully punch the primers out of, since the pins are too large (diameter). I've been reluctant to mess...

The primer "shortage" seems to be abating with shelves filling up in gun shops and "in stock" appearing on the various websites. This is good news. The bad news is that the big price jumps we hoped might be temporary...aren't. I bought a 1000 each CCI large and small pistol the other day at a...

I posted a report on my new LCR a few weeks ago, and had a chance to shoot it again today. Still 100 % reliable. Best news is I'm slowly learning the trigger pull and have better, but not really that good, groups as a result. Going to take a lot of practice to master this beauty. I found that I...

Finally got a chance to take my new Ruger LCR to the range yesterday. Went to Tac Pro Shooting Center in Mingus, Texas, where I am a member. Very nice range. I bought the LCR for concealed carry when a 1911 just doesn’t work out with the clothes I’m wearing, particularly summer clothes. The...
