    The 1911... I'm beginning to understand

    Greetings all, Went to the pistol range yesterday and brought with me, my USP 45F and SA Loaded 1911. I normally shoot at 15 yards and out of any handguns I own, I shoot the USP the best consistently. I usually have a maximum spread of 3" at 15 sometimes going as low as 1" shooting 5 round...

    I (gasp) really like my Glock????

    Greetings, While I've never hated Glocks, I can't say that I've been overwhelmed with them either. I was always a SigP226/228 fan, along with the Beretta 92FS and the USP45F. I had a G22 3rd gen that I picked up a while back and couldn't shoot it worth a damn. Also, the wife really didn't...

    How did they measure FPS?

    Greetings, In lurking on this and other boards, I'm surprised to come across info where ammo companies had FPS data on really old cartridges. How, for example, did they measure the FPS of a .45 Long Colt in the 1880's? With radar and lasers today, it is easily understandable how to...

    1911 10mm wide body

    Greetings all, Now that the ban is ending, I would love to get a 10mm 1911 wide body with 6" barrel and slide. Does anyone know of any manufacturers of custom shops that would produce this. Also, does anyone know if the Wilson KZ45 could be altered to take 10mm. I figure if the mag could...

    Love/hate pistol relationships

    Greetings, I went to the range last week and brought with me my wife's Beretta 92FS, Glock 19, and SA Loaded 1911. I hardly ever shoot the Beretta and don't consider myself a good shot with it. Yet, when shooting last week, at 15 yards shot out the 3" black circle with 50 rounds, no flyers...

    Got to shoot an HK Socom!!!

    Greetings all, Haven't posted here in a while. Been learning about rifles. Anyway, went to the pistol range over the weekend and a gentleman there had a Socom or Mark23 with a Doctor Sight in the rear sight slot. I've seen this guy at the range a few times and this guy can shoot. He was...

    Anyone familiar with Meopta scopes???

    Greetings all, In my never ending quest for a great scope, I came across Meopta scopes on SWFA.com. Originally I was going to go with a Leupold Mark 4 LR PR 4.5-14 x40, then was turned on to the Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 (1 inch tube though). It seems the Meopta has the features I'm looking...

    Scope choices????

    Greetings, I'm putting together a rifle for range, fun, and SHTF factor. It is very probably going to be a Savage in .308. Unless I can find another range in my area (if anyone knows of a range that's longer than 300 yards and is no more than 2 hours driving distance from the George...

    Went Trap shooting for the 1st time

    Greetings all, Last week, I had written a post asking about shotgunning sports. Well, I went and tried it over the weekend. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. For those familiar with the area, I had gone to Thunder Mountain in Ringwood, NJ. The folks who ran the range were very nice...

    Thinking of building a Savage

    Greetings all, I have a few questions regarding, of course, a Savage rifle. Actually, I was quite inspired by the Desert Savage that a gentleman put together here. The Savages seem very desirable to me in that they seem much more modular than a Remington or other brands. Anyway, here are my...

    Newbie asking questions

    Greetings, I am mostly into pistol shooting and to a lesser extent rifle shooting. I've shot a shotgun maybe 2 or 3 times in my life. Basically, I know nothing of the shotgun stuff. Over Easter, a friend of the family and myself were talking about sport shooting with shotgun, ie, trap...

    Modern cartridges?????

    Greetings, I'm more of a handgun guy but by the end of the summer, I hope to have a Savage or some kind of bolt, in, very probably, a .308. At the rifle range awhile back, a gentleman let me try his Remington pump action 30-06 (sorry, forget the model #). It was very light with scope and...

    So what is your take on Gay Marriage??

    I'm sure this will generate some spriited debate. My perspective. First off I'm not gay. I married my wife last Oct and we've been together for a good 10 years prior to that. My religion, and my wife's, would best be defined as paganism. What this means in it's most basic definition is that...

    The FCC is one scary organization

    I heard today on the news that the FCC is going after Howard Stern again. I'm not parituclarly a huge fan of his, but I do find him amusing. Aparantly the FCC does not. They are fining him because of a comment he made stating that the way we are heading, we will be a religious state within 20...

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the 226

    Went shooting last night with the wife and 2 of her female friends. Brought the 226, 225, SA 1911 Loaded, and Ruger Mark II. The women pretty much stuck to the .22 and once in a while shot the 225 or 226. I had intended to primarily shoot the 1911. Me, being the schmuck that I am, had bought...

    My first 1911 detail strip

    Also posted at Pistolsmith.com Greetings, Well, here I am practicing my dry fire drills last night when, just for kicks, I field strip the gun. I had recently found a couple of sights that give instructions as to how to totally detail strip the 1911. I've heard it said that this is one of...

    P7 questions

    Greetings, I have recently picked up a couple of P7's ( I think they are PSP's) from SOG. In reading various threads a lot of folks make mention of P7 E's and U's. I've heard of P7M8's, P7 PSP's, but I have no idea what the P7 E's and U's are. Can someone elighten me on this? Thanks for...

    Best AK74 clone out there

    Greetings, I currently have a Bushmaster AR flattop w/ 16" barrel. I've recently started to get an itch to get an AK 74 type clone. I saw a picture of a KTR that looked like something that Diane Fienstein, Schumer or any of them, would get their panties in a bunch......excellent:evil...

    I love the P7!!!

    Greetings, A couple of weeks ago, I purchased 2 P7's from SOG. This past weekend I finally got a chance to put some rounds through 1 of them. I fired a P7M8 one time, but only for about 5 rounds or so. Anyway, some things I noticed about the P7. The slide is the smallest I've ever seen on...

    I had a good day!!!!!

    Greetings folks, Yesterday was a great day for me in the firearm sense. My handgun permits finally came in ( in NJ you need a purchasers permit for each handgun owned) and I picked up 2 HK P7PSP's courtesy of SOG. I've always wanted the P7, now I have 2 at a great price ( $657.00 each hand...
