    Jumped to the .380 platform this weekend.

    I think a number of the 380s use fixed~barrel blowback actions. The fixed barrel contributed to accuracy. The Beretta 84/85 and BDA are of this type. For 9mm the HK P7 would br the equivilent.

    Getting girlfriend into shooting clays...

    First impression is important. I recommend scouting for a semi~auto in 12 or 20. Gas operated preferred. Do you see other females of similar ststure at your club? What do they use?

    TMJ, don't my ribbing seriously. As others have said, that is a fair price. Recently GT Distributors in Austin, TX were selling trade-in G17s, 3rd G, for $349, like new. So whether a price is good can be relative to circumstance. Enjoy your G17 and all the others that you will own. Over...

    For that price you could have gotten a S & W 4506.

    S&W 4506 value

    Buy it and keep it. The 4506 is kind of like the Model 27/28 of S&W semies. Sturdy, reliable, accurate, and manly.

    Recommendations on 1st shotgun

    I think the intuition for the O/U is correct. If you get pump you will not go wrong with the 870, 1300, BPS, W'by, Ithica, or Nova. To me the Nova is overly bulky. Buy new for a pump. For a right~priced O/U try CDNN for a CZ, Weatherby, Winchester, Charles Daly, and other brands. With...

    Shooting with both eyes open - question?

    An article I read, or maybe in Brister's book, stated that top shooters kept both eyes open until trigger pull. Just before the press they went a one eye squint.

    Top shot show on History

    A friend of a friend named Henry auditioned for S2. I do not know if he is on or not. Henry shoots IPSC and is damn fast. I RO'ed him for a SC stage and the five shots were just one solid boom.

    Flame-thrower 12 ga. shells

    hilarious story Somewhere on TFL or THR there is a hilarious story, years and years old by now, of a guy that tried some DB rounds in his HD shotty one afternoon. He went home and left at least one round in the tube. Just too lazy or in a hurry to get to work on the night shift. That night...

    SKB 605 O/U 20ga 500$?

    Did you get it yet? I got to test-shoot an SKB 28 ga at station skeet one. It was super target buster, better than I was shooting my own 12 ga!

    Franchi Shotgun, Unknown, Help Please

    Would you be going to a clays range for trap, skeet, or sporting clays? Well, even if just to shoot it into a dirt backstop, at a safe distance, you can use birdshot such as no. 7, 8, or 9. Be sure to check the chamber length and use shells that size or smaller. I suspect you'll be needing...

    "She's Bone Dry!"

    HK-Texas, since you are showing a motivation to aquire and shoot the modern handgun, check out some the sporting venues for action pistol events. It is a good way to learn to shoot fast and accurately. And even better, how to learn manipulations and thinking while shooting. And meet...

    "She's Bone Dry!"

    Since you are in Texas, and it was damned hot this summer, I suggest using the Hoppes Gun Grease rather than the gun oil as it is more viscous and stands up to higher temps. Application points that I have seen used for an USP 9mm: Along the front of the barrel where it is contacted by slide...

    Pistol grip shotguns... pointless or practical?

    Pistol grip SGs tend to sell a lot in locales where longarms can be bought readily but handguns are highly restricted. For instance, Buffalo, NY. Understand?
