    Jeff Cooper's Personal Library

    While doing some personal reading on some of Jeff Cooper's less known writings I found a reference to a catalogue of his personal library in an Excel format compiled I believe by Paul Kirchner. Sadly the link I found is broken and not sure of the current status of the site. I always enjoyed and...

    Retro AR build newbie

    Im looking to do a "retro" AR build in the next six months or so to complement my Troy XM-177 clone. This time around I would love to do a early M16A1 clone, '64-'67 variety with the three prong flash hider. I was originally going to take a look at the Brownells Retro line but they seem to...

    Bucheimer "Federal Man" Holster for J-Frame

    I tend to gravitate towards more traditional handguns, and I'm big fan of vintage leather gear to carry them in. I've been lucky to score two pristine examples of the Bucheimer "Federal Man" style OWB thumb break holsters via eBay in the past few months for both my govt size 1911 and my...

    Wider Safety Catch for MK II Browning Hi-Power?

    I have an older, Israeli surplus MK II Browning Hi-Power I absolutely love, but I've been limited to range use due to my absolute fumbling with the tiny safety catch on it. My thumbs cant seem to make contact with it with the satisying "click" my 1911's give off. I know they make a wider...

    Browning A5 Light 20

    A neighbor brought this one over last night, along with a nice old Winchester M94 in 30-30. They belonged to his deceased father, and his own medical condition doesn't allow him to do much shooting anymore. He asked me to help him find them a new home. My knowledge of shotguns doesn't go much...

    My new favorite handgun- S&W Model 15 Combat Masterpiece

    After about a year of research, thinking and looking I acquired this much used, but not abused revolver and have had it for about a month. It's incredibly comfortable to shoot and more accurate than my marksmanship allows. I'm pretty conservative when it comes to handguns and typically carry...

    Fun afternoon with old guns and blades

    This past Friday was Nevada Day, a state holiday and I was at home when I got a call from a coworker. I knew she had a deceased relative (grandfather) who was a bit of a gun collector from storing a few family guns a few years back for her during a divorce. Her father was in town and making...

    New to me- Smith 442 Airweight

    Have been looking for another carry option than the vintage Smith 4013 I typically wear, and after handling a couple over the course of a few months i was really drawn to the Smith 442, I liked the lack of an exposed hammer and the black finish looked really sharp up close. While I'm typically...

    .357 Single Action Advice

    I am thinking I'd really like to add a single action revolver to my collection sometime in the next few months. While I have handled a number of them at venues like SHOT Show, but never had the opportunity to fire one. I own several double action revolvers and for that purpose I'd prefer one in...
