A friend at work, knowing I'm a gunnie, asked me about a pistol he's heard about. He called it a PT-29 in 9 mm. I'm thinking some numbers got mixed up somewhere along the line. Taurus uses the PT designator on all their semi-autos, but they don't have a 29 that I can find. That being...

I ordered my item (red dot) on 1 Dec. My card was charged on 4 Dec. The item was marked "In stock, ships within 48 hours" I received the notificaton e-mail/receipt same day I ordered and it said I would be notified when the order was shipped or was backordered. No word. I sent...

I don't usually take the time to post crap like this. Gee, I wish my range could put together something like this By the end of the second round, I wasn't hitting S&%^(*! http://www.2flashgames.com/f/f-ReBound-2-5113.htm

I hate posting threads like these, but here goes. Someone posted pics and instructions on a range box they built with a nifty rifle rest built into the top of it. It looked like something I would like to build, so I filed the idea away in the back of my mind (also known as "The Steel Trap")...

This will probably get moved to the revolver forum, so all those old-timer wheel-gun cronies can gloat a little bit. I finally broke down and bought a revolver. It will be my last handgun (5th) for quite some time. I need to work on shotguns and rifles for a while. I thought you guys would...

Any other ODO members out there having trouble? It's been 2 days now.

I went to buy my Christmas gun this year. A NIB Bushmaster M4gery. I was told by the dealer that, in addition to the regular IDs, I would need to present a birth certificate or voter registration, only because this rifle qualifies as an assault weapon. Of course, I had to postpone another...

A good friend of mine at work has admitted to me that he is a die-hard Glock fan, he even told me a story about his Glock blowing up in his hand! and get this, he came out with that classic line... "I'm sure it was the ammo" I laughed so hard I spotted. So I started sniping at him regularly...

I'd like to "split" various types of shells. My idea is to use a fine-tooth hacksaw and go very slowly to avoid friction heat. Anyone tried this before? My main concern is the primer. I'd like to keep the shell whole for display, but I like my fingers even more. Or can anyone save me the...

This is an e-mail from a young SSgt in my squadron. The joke around the shop is we need to deploy him someplace safe....like Iraq. All's well that ends well...or as we say in the Air Force....Any landing you walk away from is a good one. This probably wouldn't have happened if we had a...

Due to several factors, (money, work, honeydew list, etc) I'm now entering my fourth week without going to the range. The soonest I'll be able to "get a fix" will be this weekend, if I'm lucky enough not to have to work or something. I've pulled all my guns out one at a time and cleaned them...

This is too cool. I've been a Catholic (on and off) my whole life, and never heard of St Gabriel Possenti. I sent off for some tokens. http://www.possentisociety.com

Took my son and my pistols to the Chickahominy range on Sunday. I fired the .45 and gave my son the 9mm to practice with. WooHoo!! (This is me jumping for joy). I finally got my RIA .45 through 100 rnds with no stem binds. It was the first 100 that I fired that day. (700-800 since the gun...

I've been breaking in my brown-bag RIA 1911 for a few weeks now. My feed problems have been sloooooowly reducing while I put a mortgage payment worth of ammo through it. I finally got impatient enough to try polishing the feed ramp. I'm going to the indoor range in the morning to try it out...

Just picked it up from PDO. Any Illinois residents who can chime in on the veracity of this?

The cold kept the half-steppers off the range today, it was nice having the place pretty much to ourselves. There were a few guys there I knew from another squadron, and we shared weapons up and down the firing line for about 4 hours. Had to be my best overall day at the range as far as just...

I took my 1911 to the range and handled her for the first time today. She was a bit awkward at first, I was not surprised, it was her first time after all. (A few jams, usually at the end of the magazine, that will go away) She spoke to me with such a lovely voice. (Authoritative. Not like...

My daily carry weapon is a Sig Pro 2009. While carrying I keep one in the chamber and nine in the magazine. When I "clear" the weapon, I return the tenth round to the magazine and leave it stored like that until it goes back on my belt. I've always had a nagging suspicion that I should not...

Brought home a lovely new addition to my family today. She is 6 lbs, 8 oz. 39 1/2" long She is black as coal and lovely to look upon. I have named her "Darla" I fired my buddy's model at the range. His had a folding stock, which I was not used to. I was very pleased with the action and...
