    point of aim bullet weight Beretta 92A1?

    We are having a little trouble with hitting point of aim with a friend's new Beretta 92A1. We are in the process of experimenting with bullet weight. We seem to be shooting low at 7 yards with 115 gr and 124 gr (Haven't tried the 147s yet). Is there a specific bullet weight that Beretta uses...

    Cylinder locked up with Buffalo Bore .38 +P?

    What happened here? I was out shooting my Taurus 85 SS Ultralight yesterday and thought I'd try some Buffalo Bore Heavy .38 Sp +P 158 gr. L.S.W.C.H.P.--G.C. (1,000fps/M.E. 351 ft.lbs.). I was shooting single action and fired 2 rounds just fine then the cylinder locked up. I could not cock...

    Compare Benchmade Vex & Spyderco Tenacious?

    Does anyone care to compare the Benchmade Vex 10750 to the Spyderco Tenacious C122? They seem awfully similar to me. Does either jump out as superior quality to the other? Thanks.

    I just got a LCP tonight at a gun show (have not shot it yet). Looking for opinions on carry ammo. Assuming equal reliability, do I want do carry FMJ or JHP? I carry FMJ in my .32 and JHP in my 9mm. Which way do I swing with a .380? Thanks for opinions.

    .327 Federal--Too much penetration?

    Let me start by saying I don't plan on getting one. I don't have anything against them, but I don't feel I am missing out on anything by having a 3" SP101 in .357, since I can feed it anything from light .38 wadcutters to 180 gr. .357 and everything inbetween (especially .38 special +p 158 gr...

    Traditions Buckhunter Pro pistol accuracy

    I've got a Traditions Buckhunter Pro in-line .50 cal pistol (stainless with 9 1/2" barrel) like this: http://www.traditionsfirearms.com/eshop/10Expand.asp?ProductCode=P16103102 and I can't hit the broadside of a barn with it. It's got a 1:28 twist, so I am not surprised with the poor...

    .223 OR 7.62 x 39 single shot SPR18 for plinking

    I'm toying with the idea of a single-shot Remington/Spartan SPR18 just for plinking fun out to a max of 150yds. Can't hunt deer in my area with a rifle. Could, in theory shoot a coyote, but really don't hunt them. I have another .223, and part of my dilema is do I: A) Get a .223 so I...

    Buffalobore Heavy .38+P 158gr opinions

    I'm looking for that magic SD load somewhere between insufficient penetration and over-penetration for my 3" SP101 .357 for urban carry/HD. I have not yet done a lot of testing different loads, but understand that with fixed sights, a 158gr should be POA (otherwise I probably would go with...

    Ultramax & other commercial reloads (.38)

    Got a new Ruger 3" SP101 .357 and tried out a variety of ammo in it from WW130gr .38's up to Federal 180gr cast .357 (ouch). First time trying Ultramax reloads (158 gr .38 spec). I thought I was shooting a black powder pistol. The smoke and fouling were horrendous! Is this commom with...
