    147gr Speer Lawman Supersonic from CZ75 Suppressed

    So I've had some Speer Lawman 147gr for a couple of years now and went out in the field on my property to try it out with a CZ75 4-1/2" barrel suppressed. I was pretty surprised to still here the crack echoing. I don't have a chrono so wanted to ask, does this surprise anyone or would it be...

    Uberti Revolver - Steps to Smooth Action

    I have a Uberti manufactured Taylor's & Co. "Stallion" in 38SPL, which as I understand it is a slightly downsized Colt SAA clone. Anyway, I've had a few Ubertis over the years and have 4 now, and they have been very, very smooth actions. This one, however, feels like it has sand in it when you...

    CZ 75B w/ Factory Threaded Barrel - Enough shoulder for Suppressor?

    I just fitted my CZ75B-SA with a new threaded barrel from the CZ website. I've also just finished shooting it with an Osprey 45K. Noticed I had to re-tighten the suppressor a couple times. I did a bit of reading and noticed a few people saying that the CZ75 barrel isn't large enough to provide...

    Can't adjust elevation on new Vortex Crossfire II

    Just mounted a new Vortex Crossfire II on a new Howa HCR. Put my laser bore sight in just to have a look and get it close before heading to the range. It was low and right. Was able to grab the windage and click right over to proper place, quick and easy. Grabbed the elevation knob and started...

    Howa HCR in .308 - Short or Long Action? Proper Base?

    I've been a pistol guy but would like to delve into rifle marksmanship. Used to have an RPR (Ruger) and it was nice, but sold it to pay bills. This time around, came upon a Howa HCR in .308 and it is on its way. One question I have is that I need to find a mount, and I can find a rail for a...

    Stiff Loading Gate - Uberti Open Top 38spl 1851 Navy

    Here's what I'm looking at on my Uberti Open Top 1851 in 38spl: First thing I noticed was that this loading gate was terribly stiff in comparison to my Colt SAA models, which are super smooth and easy. But it is also a different design as far as tension goes. So my question is, should I just...

    Help me out. What's the OAL on your .380 ACP ?

    Here's the deal. I have a Browning 1911-380 that will only eat ammo that has a long overall cartridge length. Max for .380 is I believe .984. PMC is the only brand I've found that loads close to this--at about .975. My gun loves this stuff. Most of the manufacturers I've tried run on the shorter...

    Fusion Firearms CCO - Sight Question

    Got my Fusion Freedom Series CCO on Saturday. Love it. However, it came with this front sight: https://photos.app.goo.gl/d4LfPJl1A7F7oNRI3 Looks like a fiber front sight, but instead of fiber it has a white plastic tube. Now, I actually prefer white dot sights, but this isn't really...
