I have and EDC a Beretta M9. I love it, it fits my hand perfectly, and I shoot it well. I prefer DA/SA to striker, personal opinion. It has an M*Carbo spring kit and a Langdon trigger bar. My boss has a CZ Shadow 2 Orange, that I have shot. Better groups, easier follow-up, definitely a nicer...

Found this at the range. 1" long including threads. 4mm x 0.7 threads.

I am considering a turret press to speed up loading for pistols. I currently have 9mm and .40S&W, with no plans of growing. I have noticed that 9mm is considerably harder to size than .40S&W. I will continue to load my rifles on a single stage, since I trim and chamfer every time. Now that all...

Okay, first things first. I understand that no replies are legal advice. I need you to understand that I have never seriously considered attempting this before, so, while I may think I have some ideas, assume I don't, and please make your replies as simple to understand as possible. Also, I...

I haven't had a .22lr for years. With today's reloading supplies prices and availability, I am considering getting a .22 so that I can continue shooting. Wanting to stay fairly inexpensive, can figure glass out on my own. I have a good stock of Aguila for my kids' rifles. What would be some...

I missed the boat when you could pick one up for $170, but now I want one. How do the RCBS Chargemaster Link/Lite, Hornady Auto Charge, Lyman Gen6, and Frankford Arsenal Intellidrop compare? Simplicity and repeatability with ball (CFE223) and small stick (Varget) are my main concerns. Thanks!

I am looking for a possible new scope purchase. Budget $400 (I know :oops:). Primary use Eastern whitetail at max 150 yards. Secondary use friendly target shooting to 400 yards. Want decent clarity throughout range. Need paralax adjustment, preferably side. 4-16 power. Zero-set turrets and...

I currently have a Leupold VX Freedom 1.5-4X on my GPR. I picked it for the low weight and clear glass. It replaced a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 gen1 for these reasons. I am thinking about going back to a red dot, for speed and target acquisition while shooting with both eyes open. I have had a...

I have loaded .40S&W 180 lead and .45ACP 230 lead with 4.7 grains of HP-38/WIN231 since I started. I took some of the loads to the range yesterday, very overcast, and found that there was quite a bit of muzzle flash in the 3.5" and 4" .40S&W barrels. I am currently out of pistol powder, and...

Okay, I know there are better options. Right now, I am loading pistol on the same single-stage Lee Breech Lock that I started with years ago. I tried the Lee Breech Lock Auto, didn't suit. Press had too much going on, and too much hand switching. Also had an Auto Drum, but it either threw...

I have a hankering for a plinking pistol. Some days, I want to go to the range and not worry about picking up the brass. So, a .22LR pistol looks appealing. I have owned a GSG/Sig 1911 and a Buckmark, but my first firearm purchase was a Beretta 92 that I occasionally miss. I am wondering how the...

I "inherited" a Stevens 77F 12 gauge, 1965 model. I determined that it is a full-choke, 28" barrel. It was in rough shape. Rust to the point of pitting on the barrel and receiver, gouges in the wood, action gummed up. I took it apart, cleaned it, rubbed the metal with gun oil and super fine...

My 12YO son "inherited" his great-grandfather's reloading equipment. Lucky kid has a box squared away with an old RCBS single-stage, a set of Micro-Precision .30-30 dies, Redding Model 3 powder measure, and a Lyman M5 scale, among other odds and ends, all waiting for when he is older. The box he...

I have a Traditions BuckStalker .50, that I am used to running 100 grains of Pyrodex RS behind a 230 grain lead saboted .45 caliber lead bullet, started by a 209 primer. My recoil-shy son has expressed interest in obtaining this, and I have successfully used 50 grains of powder in the same...

I would consider myself a "casual" shooter. I enjoy target shooting and hunting. My limits so far are rifles at steel at 400 yards (easy with a scoped Remington 700 in .30/06, definitely harder with Garand irons), 31/50 sporting clays (been 4 times), and keeping a pistol mag on a sheet of paper...

My first gun was a JM Marlin 336 in .30-30, that I still have. I took it hunting as a teenager, and put it away without a proper cleaning one year. Took it out the next year, barrel exterior was orange. Stripped and cold blued. Looked like crap. A couple of years ago, I reattempted, taking my...

Per the closed thread here: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/title-18-of-the-u-s-c-section-242.857910/ Would this be able to be invoked in Red Flag Law cases, as citizens' 2nd Amendment, 4th Amendment, and possibly other rights seem to be violated under "the color of law"? Any legal...

I recently sold my very accurate AR, and built a 16" midlength nitride PSA kit. I sighted it in with irons for 50 yards with M193, and was very impressed with how well this rifle likes this "junk" ammo. So, I grabbed some of my leftover 55gr SP loads that I worked up for the old rifle. My POI...

Just a heads up. I got an unconfirmed report in an email from the VCDL. While unconfirmed, it is entirely possible, and AFAIK (IANAL) within Wal-Mart's rights, that they have permanently banned a customer for OC'ing in a Kentucky store. From the email: VCDL has been made aware of an incident at...

I just sold my last AR. Built for varmint hunting (20" scoped), but I don't varmint hunt. I tried to use it as a bench gun, but pistol grips don't work for me, and a semi proved boring. So, I have $650 to find a replacement with. I currently own: Marlin 336 .30-30 Remington 700 .30/06 Garand...
