I am a lefty, so I spend time at shops going through their new old stock and bargain boxes of stuff they couldn't sell. I came upon a Gould and Goodrich holster for a Beretta 92FS, in near mint condition, no pack, no instructions. I kept it for several months. I have to go qualify in the...

Dry fire practice When I used to practice a lot, I would unload my gun, usually a revolver or 1911, and practice on an old TV set. As the images would come on the set, I would try to hold on target, do a correct trigger press, and try to snap before the face left the screen, normally a second...

I recently acquired an 8" Model 629. I have been shooting 200 grain 44 specials in it, as the local range doesn't allow 44 magnum loads. I had a nice soft shooting, almost pellet gun like, load in 44 magnum brass, but I'm told there is folly in loading down H110; something about a...

Thank you, Furncliff.

Your abilities regarding your level of skill with your rifle will have a great degree of bearing on your success; more so than the bolt on toys. Having said that, I chose the CMMG 2 pound tactical trigger, and the collapsable stock on my 20 inch light weight barrelled rifle. I find it easiest...

I have been weighing the idea of getting a quicker twist rate for my 10/22. With the Aguilla SSS 60gr rounds, the standard 1:16 twist is inadaquate, sending the bullet keyholing. I saw that Volquartsen offered some different and slightly faster twist rates for .22 LR, and wondered if anyone has...

Thanks for your replies. I'll size it then gauge the case lengths. I got in on a fairly good deal from Midway; 1,000 pcs for about $140 or so. I got 2 lots at different prices, but it was under $300 after shipping. I figure I'll load a few to get the recipe right, then vacuum pack and...

I bought some new LC brass and would like to start loading it, but I have a couple of questions. 1) Should I anneal it? 2) Should I run it through the sizing die; after all, the fact it is the shape it is means it's been through one already, right? I've never loaded new rifle brass before...

My brother in law was decapping some some .45 auto brass he just shot. He says some of the brass has small primers and some has large. Does anyone know about this? They are head stamped .45 auto Federal.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the response. I would have responded sooner but Comcast cable has been out around here.

I have been stopped by police and had fair, courteous treatment, but in the states in which I have lived, giving cognizance to police was required if asked. I must say this appears a little foreign to me, being used to having to carry ID.

I have a Beretta 92 FS that does not have night sights. Can the front sight be machined off to allow the installation of a night sight, or will I have to change the entire slide?

All steel Berettas do exist, but they are damn rare. I had an acquaintance who showed me one. It was heavy, and you could see a small bits of rust trying to start on the dust cover. It was made in Italy, but I don't know when.

I would go with the 5900 series. The grip on them isn't especially large. I went through the police academy with a 3900 series, and while accurate, I was always stuffing magazines while the instructor had everyone else's undivided attention. The magazines for the 3900 series aren't all that...

I had a similar problem with a 629 Snubbie. I sent it back to the maker, and it still didn't work right, as with the case of nearly ANYTHING I send back to a gun manufacturer (don't get me started on COLT) and it still failed to work correctly. I traded it for a Model 70 Winchester and...

I never thought I needed a hollow point in 45 Colt. Most goblins fired on with that cartidge are usually impressed. Sierra used to make a 240 gr. JHP.

I didn't think it was that good PRIOR to the election. I bought an S&W snubbie that they didn't ream the forcing cone on. You can feel a razor edge on one side of the forcing cone, where it was cut off with a milling machine. I have a Mossy 590 that had the same problem and I had to take it...

For the same reason they do not still use muskets on the battlefield. If you were about to deploy to Afganistan, which rifle would you like? I probably would not pick an M98 Mauser. Having carried one in 1972, I am a big fan of the M-14.

Try these contacts. In my area of Florida, ammo is hard to come by, even at Wal-Mart. http://www.midwayusa.com/browse/BrowseProducts.aspx?pageNum=1&tabId=3&categoryId=7553&categoryString=653***691*** or http://www.grafs.com/ammo/52 I have dealt with both of these companies and they have...

Quote: "I don't advertise that I might or might not have guns..." I certainly can relate to that. Anymore, that could get you searched, or broken into, your car stolen, and possibly unwanted police attention/scrutiny after getting pulled over.:(
