Like to see what folks carry concealed. I'm a bit boring in that regard as I have a couple favorite autoloader platforms and a couple revolvers that I actually carry concealed (IWB-Sparks VMll). I do carry these regularly, depending on time of year/clothing. P/35/BHP's 1911's...

Finally finished an engraved 1911 project and thought I'd show the leather for it. El Paso "Ranger", hand carved holster and belt:

Received the engraved (Michael Gouse) 1911 back from Anthony Durning ("Durning Defense Custom") Thursday. Anthony serrated the slide top, installed EGW bushing (the original was barely "finger tight) and flush cut/crowned barrel. The pistol was Hard Chromed by Metaloy. I had previously changed...

Received this around Christmas. It is for an engraved 1911 that is currently at the finisher for HC. I've noticed El Paso's turn around time has improved substantially. I think the wait on this (and a couple other holsters) was 2 months+. T

Will the 9 mm Luger shell plate (Dillon 550) work with the .38 SC, or will I need to use a .223 shell plate?? Thanks. T

Received a Nelson Custom conversion a few days ago. This unit is an upgrade of the old Marvel "Unit 1"; slide lock on last round, dryfire acceptable, steel sight rib that more closely approximates original 1911 slide weight. Bob Marvel designed this unit. The maching/fabrication is done by...

Purchased a CZ-75 Single Action (9mm) off the classifieds here. Some trigger work, grip tape on frontstrap, new Dawson FO front sight (.090"), VZ grips and I'm happy with it. Not a 1911:), but a good shooter.

Was hog hunting in Okla. last weekend with three pals.. Ground blind @ feeders in the evening, still hunting/"spot and stalk" during the day. Two of my buds used rifles (both in .30-06), two of us used handguns. Don L. was the national champion IHMSA shooter back in the late 80's and used a...

Using AA9, CCI 300 primers, 255 gr. (Lyman mold-commercially cast) KTSWC (GC), Starline brass. Powder charge is 19.5 gr., +P laod in Ruger Bisley. Each charge individually weighed. Took chrono to range for load development, accuracy phase. Out of 12 rds. fired I had 3 hang fires; pop...

Received this from Kevin Nightingale and wanted to comment. The holster is Nightingale's "Harrier" model, a Bruce Nelson "Avenger" style. I ordered holster/mag carrier in Horesehide, (obviously) straight drop, sight channel to accommodate a .200" front sight and a "body shield" (which is...

I've been using this "Tanker Rig" (El Paso) for a couple of years while handgun hunting. I'd found that bundled up in insulated overalls and coat, a conventional belt holster or horizontal shoulder rig was near impossible access. I wear this under the overalls/coveralls and have relatively...

Would appreciate FIRST HAND experience with load data on .450 Alaskan. I'm planning on shooting 400 +- cast gas check and 400 gr. Barnes jacketed bullets. Powder preference is H322. Thank you.

For your consideration, a couple of Commanders: Baer is pretty stock; HC frame, night sights. Colt is by Jim Hoag (fellow "old guys" will recognize his proprietary beavertail and squared trigger guard). Still shoots as well as the Baer.

Wish I had taken "before" photos... Found this 3-4 yrs. ago at a gun show. Not much bluing remained, had some minor pitting and the ejector rod was bent. The gun had been neglected but locked up well and the bore was in good condition. I've always been a fan of the 58 so I bought it as a...

Son in law stuck a case in the size die (RCBS/.25/06). Short of a new die, any recommendations?

I need to trim .348 Winchester cases (.50/110 "parent" case). The case head is too big to fit my Lyman trimmer. Any ideas??

Any loads for .348 Win with 250 gr. Barnes or Hawk bullets? Maximum horsepower/velocity preferred to bench accuracy. Looking for strictly a "Big Game" load to 100 yds.

Looking for a starting load with RL19, to be used with 250 gr. Barnes. Thanks...

Just found a Browning "86 Win. copy which will be used for an upcoming Bison hunt. Chambered in .45/70 (naturally). I plan on using Cast Performance 420 gr. WFNGC, ideally at 1600-1800 fps. Shots will be 50-75 yds. Anyone have a "pet load" using H322 or Varget? Oh, brass is Starline. Thanks...

Opening day (Mon.) was great for Dove here in Ks. Wind was 30 mph out of the south. Birds flying with the wind must have been going 110 mph, against the wind 25 mph. Made for interesting "change up" shooting. The stock work paid off on the AYA. Actually had a double, which is no mean feat for...
