    Anyone else love the smell of Hoppe's #9

    I've been using Hoppe's since 1960 to clean my guns. I love the smell of Hoppe's. It's probably part of my blood by this time!!!:D It's always done a good job and still does. I do use other cleaners also but Hoppe's is still my favorite!!

    The itch strikes again...

    I have a S&W 9mm Shield and a Ruger 9mm LW Commander 1911. The Shield is well over 1400 rds fired without ONE problem of any type. I's also very accurate. I went wild on mine and bought Apex parts and exchanged them for most of the S&W parts, personal taste issue. Mine has a 4lb 4oz consistent...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    I just bought this Ruger 9mm LW Commander 3 weeks ago. It shoots great and even though I'm a 45ACP guy at heart it will see a lot of carry time. I have a bad back and when I can't carry my Colt LW 45ACP Commander the Ruger will be my next choice!! "][/URL]

    9MM 1911 Mags

    I just bought a Ruger 9mm 1911 LW Commander. I also bought 4 Wilson ETM 500-9 mags for it. They work great with no malfunctions of any type.

    1911 9mm for cc?

    The Commander size for me is not an issue of concealment but one of comfort. When I sit with a 5" 1911, the barrel hits the seat and pushes it out of the holster. With the 4.25" barrel I don't have that problem. All my carry 1911s are LW versions due to my back problems, Degenerative Disc...

    Tough choice and need advise: Pro-Carry II vs Ultra Carry II

    I had two Kimber Pro Carry II 45ACP guns at different times. They were 100% right out of the box. Never had a problem with either of them. I had to sell them to pay for wife's medical bills.:( I now have a STI Ranger II 45ACP 19ll and Colt LW Commander 45ACP 1911. Both needed the extractors...

    1911 9mm for cc?

    I got to the range today and the Ruger shot just excellent. I shot 150rds of UMC 115gr FMJ without any issues in the Wilson 9mm mags. I loaded 1 in the chamber and 10 in the mag and they all fed and fired with out any problems. I shot 50 rds of 124gr Gold Dots, my carry ammo. As many of you are...

    1911 9mm for cc?

    I just bought a Ruger LW Commander 9mm yesterday. I'm hoping to get to the range today. I have 2 1911's a STI Ranger II and Colt LW Commander both in 45ACP. I'm a 45 guy. But my back has been giving me problems so I bought a M&P Shield 9mm and really like it. But I've been wanting a 1911 LW...

    410 shotguns- who hunts with one, and for what?

    In 1963 my Grandfather gave me a Stevens 410 bolt action shotgun. Held one in the chamber an three in a detachable magazine. It came with two extra mags. Used mostly for squirrels and for grouse. We didn't wing shoot grouse they were for meat on the table so took them on the ground to make sure...

    Which brand of primer do you use?

    I've used CCI for over 12 years and see no reason to switch. They work great for me.

    IWB holster for M&P Shield

    I have a DeSantis Intruder IWB hybrid holster that I really like. Excellent construction as you would expect from DeSantis. Stays close to the body, Kydex belt loops faster around the bottom of the belt so you can't pull the holster off the belt. Excellent holster IMO.

    Wet vs. dry case cleaning.

    I dry clean my brass with walnut shell and commercial cleaning additive add to the walnut media. It gets my brass nice and shiny IMO. I don't deprime until after they are cleaned, keeps the walnut out of the primer holes. I have a electric prep station that cleans out the primer pockets. Works...

    Hodgdon Titegroup

    I used it for about 6 years in 45ACP and 45 Colt. It worked great for both 45s. Very consistent and accurate from both 45ACP and 45 Colt.

    Does Anyone Like Ruger Single Actions?

    I owned two 45 Colt original Vaqueros a few decades ago when I did Cowboy Action Shooting. I sold them when I had to quit Cowboy Action shooting due to back problems. I just bought a New Blackhawk Flattop 45ACP/45 Colt a few months ago and love it. Just a fun gun to shoot. I missed having a...

    NRA Life Membership, is it worth it?

    It was very much worth it to me. I had wanted to become a life member for many years but couldn't afford it. When the NRA ran a special for a life membership that you could pay monthly on I finally took advantage of it. I paid off the $600 in 5 months. I have upgraded twice since then. If the...
