In that context, its a BULLSEYE target masterpiece.
I shoot a little bit of formal BULLSEYE target (you know, the one-handed thing at 25 yards and 50 yards).
I already have a couple or ten guns that are well-configured for that.
I'm not sure I'd get a lot of use out of an eleventh one.
Sure...
Are you buying it because its a GOOD DEAL?
Or are you buying it because ITS SOMETHING YOU REALLY WANT?
I will often happily over-pay for something unique if its something I REALLY WANT.
"Unique" being defined as "They aren't making them anymore."
You won't lose much money on no-lock Smith...
Always maintain your wiggy stash. That's the stuff you will go to if things get wiggy.
I own a bunch of guns and a bunch of calibers because I'm a gun nerd. Nothing wrong with that. I burn through my nerd ammo like a 6-year-old eating cupcakes at a birthday party. Just have at it, and don't...
I would sign up for a $250/wk SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE if it would make my wife genuinely interested, and participatory, in my firearms hobby.
As it stands now, I get the major stink-eye and inquisition if I’m going shooting BOTH DAYS on the weekend.
She would be welcome to join me if she had any...
I've never seen a RUGER factory mag for the P-series pistols in other than STANDARD (full grip length) and commie-capacity (some sort of restriction in the mag-body, or the mag-body sawed-off and fitted with a commie floorplate.
These stories are around.
Always seem to relate to OLD guns. I sometimes wonder whether these stories aren't really an OBSTRUCTION in the bore. Probably SOME of them are.
You're not gonna crack an un-obstructed Mossberg 500 barrel shooting a Foster slug through a full choke.
You can use whatever choke you want for buckshot or lead slugs.
It won't hurt the gun.
Bore diameter of 12 gauge is 0.729"
Experiment with YOUR gun and see what works best for YOUR application.
What you are going to learn is this:
At some point, as you reduce your loads, THE NECK WILL STOP SEALING.
When that happens it will blow all sorts of chamber shmootz past the cartridge case, and back into your face. Violently.
I promise you won't like it.
Remember you are dealing with an...
The rifle you use often should be equipped with the best glass you can afford.
That's all there is to it.
If you don't use ANY rifle often, you probably don't need a thousand-dollar scope.
Lots of $400 scopes are plenty ROBUST. Only the $400 glass is noticeably inferior to the expensive...
Berry's are PLATED BULLETS.
I'm not gonna cast an indictment against Berry's. But I can say I've had my share of problems with Berry's. I think I found a way to "make them work" in my application.
What I will say is, if you switch from non-plated bullets to Berry's plated bullets, expect to...
Very well could be the new lot of bullets.
Try a different bullet.
A gun that WAS shooting well, and which suddenly starts shooting not-so-well when fed a new lot of bullets, does not take an engineer to figure out what probably happened.
Sell the bullets that aren't working well for you...
You can probably pick up a spare cylinder for your .38, and have it cut for moon clips. Price of admission for a conversion cylinder will be about half the price of a quality 9mm revolver.
Still be able to shoot .38's in that gun without moon clips.
Of course any excuse to buy a new gun is...
I don't trim 9mm brass.
I just TRUE it.
Sometimes the mouths aren't cut square, so if you don't true the mouths it will play hob with accuracy.
Sometimes the cases aren't DRAWN true either. So I run a dial-indicator around each case. If I detect more than 0.001" variation in case thickness...
More oil.
Different ammo.
More cycling of the gun with live ammo.
Shouldn't have to do that with a new gun. But the peashooter guns seem to need it more often than main battle pistols.
