Last week I read Spats McGee's perspective on the Shield Plus. I was all ready to "pull the trigger" on a new Ruger Max 9 to replace the Sig P365 that I kicked to the curb because I couldn't find any love for the grip... but his review gave me pause and inclined me to put a Shield Plus in my...

I was going thru my reloads the other night with the anticipation of getting a little range time in. I ran across a box of 50 count 9mm 124 grain FMJ loaded with 5.8 gr of Hodgdon HS-6 and another box of 124 gr FMJ loaded with 6.8 gr of HS-6 that I had made up last summer. When I seen the...

I was wandering around the LGS today hoping to score some ammo..no luck there ...but, l decided to look at their gun case to see what was new since my last visit. I've been looking for something to replace the Sig P365 that I sold and have been playing with my wife's Kimber Micro 9 and really...

I was at a family function earlier this year and the conversation turned to pistols, revolvers and reloading...a cousin brought out a Bersa Firestorm .380ACP for show and tell. Said he didn't care for it all that much and was in the hunt for a revolver. I handled it, liked the heft and feel and...

I just purchased a NIB P30SK. Awaiting its arrival later this week. It is a variant 3 - DA/SA hammer fired with a de-cocker. It's going to replace my Sig P365XL as my EDC. I purchased a P30 a few months back and so began my cult adoration for HK pistols. The way they fit and feel in my hand...

I'm loading .380 and all is going well until I get to the crimp function of the bullet seat and feed die. I turned die in until it touched case holder....backed it out 3 full turns as per instructions. Put sized and flared case with powder in shell holder, adjusted bullet seat until I had...

To conserve ammo and still become proficient with my firearm I've acquired a laser trainer cartridge. It has given me the ability to become intimately familiar with the grip, the sights and the trigger press on my P30. After several hundred drills I'm confident that my accuracy will be vastly...

What model is this?

Looking at one of these today. Did a little research on the history. Any opinions?

Back in late February my wife and me were at at a gun show in Florida. (Little did we know then that it was going to be the last one for a while.) She was looking for a small frame semi-auto that she could carry in her purse. We had looked at the Sig P238's previously and a few Kimber Micro's...

I braved the black flies and went out to my backyard range today.. I put 50 down the pipe of my new P365XL and am very satisfied with the performance. It shot flawlessly and I was able to maintain a 3" grouping which I find satisfactory considering this is my first experience with a 9MM...

Well.. I finally went and did it! Purchased my first ever semi-auto today. Picked up a NIB P365XL today. Wanted the one with safety but they were no where to be had... at least not in this neck of the woods..and I wasn't willing to wait for it. So I'll be ordering the manual safety retrofit...

Ever since I went to a gun show in Florida in February and was looking at semi-autos with my wife...we viewed the various offerings from Kimber and Sig Saur, etc...a G43X looked deep into my eyes winked at me. I had no intention of ever considering a semi-auto for myself, but when I picked her...

Not sure what forum I was on, but I read a post from a retired LEO on how he used to practice his draw and point shooting using wax reloads. Now with ammo getting scarce again, I thought I'd save what I have and some money to boot by going out and buying some canning paraffin and primers and...

I reloaded 100 rounds yesterday at 38+p and shot them at the range this morning. When finished I took the wife out for lunch and I noticed this bruise on my shooting hand wrist. Wasn't their when I left the range as I stopped and washed all the GPR off my hands. Only thing I can think that...

Just finished making my first batch of 50 rounds. Forgot to raise ram with cartridge up a couple of times when charging and got powder all over the place. Finally got a routine going. Pretty darn fun I must admit. I'll take them out to the range tomorrow and see how I did. I used 4.4 grains of...

Okay... I've settled in to my winter quarters here in Florida. I have found a suitable range nearby and have picked up some additional supplies including 125 grain TMJ bullets...and Hodgdon Tite Group powder.. and NOW have a few questions. NOTE: ALL MY HANDGUNS ARE .357 MAGNUM First... I'll be...

I have a front sight issue on my 3" Ruger LCRx .357. The front sight pin is not centered on the barrel housing. I returned gun to Ruger mid-November for repair along with the barrel crown with a detailed description of the issues. Ruger returned it to me yesterday with a new barrel insert but...

Took the opportunity of Black Friday promotions to advance into the world of reloading. Picked THIS up from Midway USA and a Lee Die Set. Now looking for a beam scale and a few other accessories. I'll play with it some and will probably be back with many questions.

When I first got my 3" LCRx .357 back in June of this year I had to move the rear sights to the far right to get to the center of the target. Didn't think much of it until now. I ordered some after market Hi-Viz sight and went to install them this morning... as I was removing the front sight I...
