Shot a Keltec P-17 at the range today. We often read about people that need a pistol that is easy to operate. Slide was easy to rack. Good sights and trigger. Lightweight if it matters. Digested a magazine of my junk rounds without issue. Actually fun to shoot Only down side I found...

Have been carrying a S&W 442 or 638 since 1981. Due to arthritis in my wrist and fingers I bought a Beretta 51 to play with and carry. Was intrigued with a SIG 938 in 9MM and its 22LR sibling. Was able to rent a 938 and fire off a box of ammo. Found out the perceived recoil was less them...

Many of us have cast and shoot straight case revolver rounds such as 38 spl, 357 MAG. generally there is no issue. Cast 9MM Luger seems to give a lot of grief compared to other pistol rounds. I'm thinking the tapered case is causing undersized bullets which is made worse with the higher...

Found this review t. and thought the testing would help some shooters who have hand and joint pain. I'm pretty sure many of us can download modern weapons and still have adequate defensive weapons. Recall the 32 ACP was a popular carry option. If it won't open its worth the work to find and...

Just picked up a Used M-38. BPK6xxx Its a older hammer mounted firing pin gun with a ALLOY anodized silver colored frame. The barrel and cylinder appear a different shade then my stainless guns. My old M-38 is blue with carbon blue barrel and cylinder. This M-38 has A carbon steel...

Is lighting effected by a alloy handgun less then a all steel handgun. While wondering around lost in the woods should I carry a handgun with less steel or just stay low?

I have been having some fun shooting indoor bullseye with a fixed sight Model 65 that I mounted a red dot tube sight on. My eye don't do iron sights and I figured why buy a adjustable sight gun if i'm going to shot a red dot. Gun was a old prison or guard gun so no value is lost with the...

I'm used to shooting my moon clipped brass in a S&W 625. I'm working on my 1911 Springfield for a local match. Brass is getting tossed all over the indoor range. Is it ok to pick up my brass under a lady shooting next to me. I don't think I was distacting her.

Haven't cast any bullets in decades. Have used various Lyman single cavity molds for 38. 44. and 45 acp. I'm interested in any information on Lee tumble lube molds for .45 ACP. I will be using them for fifty foot bulls-eye and steel plate competition using SWC 200 grain and for USPSA major...

I use a electric drill for cleaning my revolvers, have always worried about the cleaning rod messing up the muzzle's crown. Had a brain fart and the simple fix is to slip a plastic soda straw over the rod.

I'm currently using some preloaded 180 LSW grain 3.6 grains of bullseye loads for indoor fifty foot Bullseye. Its a nice light target load. I use a S&W 625 but they will cycle a 1911 pattern pistol. I'm gearing up to load some for myself. I have found other powders that burn cleaner then...

Have been using my Pro 2000 for about two years. Today I got tired of chasing bullets and the extra hand and arm motion to reach for bullets in a box or tray that is a couple inches lower then the shell being loaded. I used scrap siding and a 2x4. Plastic bullet baffles is left over...

I have a nice shooting 1911 based pistol frame, and I use a Marvel 22 LRconversion with it. I use a red dot sight with the Marvel. I want to use a red dot scope with the 45 acp upper and shoot some centerfire matches. I know Bullseye shooters switched from grip mounted scopes to slide...

I have read alot of good reports of fine accuracy on EAA Witness Elite Match and other Witness models. Has anyone screwed on a red Dot sight and tried shooting Bullseye with one of these pistols?

I have a older Hamden built, High Standard Target pistol that has been acting up, not feeding, light strikes, just not running right. Took it to a reputable gunsmith who charged me $250.00 for new springs, firing pin, sear and tuning my four magazines. I supplied 100 rounds of CCI standard...

Anyone have any experience with AIMTECH scope mounts? They have a no drill mount that attaches to the side plate using longer screws for the mount and the side plate. I have three K frame guns and this seems like a good option instead of drilling and tapping the frames. It would be...

I compete in Bullseye, ISPSA, and a informal steel shoot during the spring-fall season. I shoot a 625 for steel and USPSA, M-14 for bullseye and may use a M-15 this year for steel and minor USPSA or IDPA. I'm wondering how many on this forum compete in any type of shooting sport?

My 15-3 appears to be a transition piece. SN 1K46xx. The gas ring is on the cylinder, so it does not have the little cuts on the yoke to divert gas from the barrel cylinder gap. It has a one piece barrel and machined front sight. I don't know what dash model S&W changed to a pinned front...

The last two local IPCS matches had one revolver shooter, me. I might get my wife and 84 year old Dad to compete and nail down 2nd and 3ed place. Revolver shooting is a tough game. Lots of little details. I'm just asking other revolver shooters to try a local IPCS, steel or IDPA match...

I have A older 6 3/8 inch M-29 that I want to use for some informal 15 yard bullseye shooting. I'm thinking about getting A S&W M 25 if the M29 works ok. Anyone have A reliable, low recoil lead bullet hand load that would work for this? I'm currently shooting A S&W M-14. I'm finding that...
