    Benelli Match Pistol? I didn't know.

    I have one and used it for several years in the winter league I belong to. Nice gun and a cost-affordable entry into the European style pistols. It isn't a Hammerli, Pardini, Walther or Morini, but I have never had one of those and have no idea how much difference there really is. The 95E is...

    Hupp is her married name. Her maiden name at the time of the attack was Gratia. She also testified before the Texas legislature regarding concealed carry. Her testimony there contributed Texas voting to allow concealed carry.

    Doubling up ear protection

    Remember that no matter how good your hearing protection is theoretically, once the sound reaches a certain point the bone in your skull will conduct the sound to the delicate bones in your ears and the damage will occur. A good set of 30-32dB plugs mated with a 20-25dB set of electronic muffs...

    Ruger GP100 frame

    The GP-100 fits the same holsters that the L-frame Smith fits. My buddy and i used to shoot as a team, him with a 686 and me with the GP. Our rigs were interchangeable. They also use the exact same speed loaders.

    Can a 10mm 1911 feed, fire, and/or eject .40 S&W with no alterations?

    When Ken Waters did his Pet Loads article on the .40 S&W, he did not have a .40 barrel fitted to his gun at the start. He just used his Delta Elite as is and it ran just fine. He may have put a lighter recoil spring in it, but I cannot recall, but that was it. He also didn't recommend it for the...

    Pistolsmith to Bisley-ize my Blackhawk?

    I had Andy Horvath of Diagonal Rd Gunshop in Lagrange, OH do mine. Fitted the metal, fitted the Hogue stocks to the gripframe, polished and blued everything and added a removable front sight blade as well. Did a trigger job too. Very reasonable and looks factory.

    Deal or No Deal: Sig P250 Compact

    One other thing to consider is your ability to keep it running. Any part that is not shared with the 320 will be hard to come by. Even when the 250 was being actively marketed, replacement parts for the FCU were impossible to come by. Now with it discontinued, it may be even harder to find the...

    Question about Sig models What is the "W" designation for?

    SIG offers what they refer (referred?) to as the Individual Officers Program (IOP). The guns come out of the LE Division and are a subset of those that come out of the Commercial Division. Not all Commercial guns have an IOP counterpart. The IOP guns are available at a discounted price compared...

    Over seas without a gun, and I wish I'd had one. Sharing an experience.

    I don't mean to derail your thread, but the only time I ever felt truly naked without a gun was up in Fairbanks in the month leading up to Christmas many years back. I was visiting my girlfriend with plans to fly back home with her for her Christmas break. I walked everywhere, day or night...

    Serpa Holsters & Ranges

    The timing issue mentioned is the crucial one. I am certain that you guys remember Chris Cirino, he was on the Top Shot show. He shot himself in leg the using a Serpa. My understanding is that he is an OPATA certified instructor for police and it happened in a class. Instead of pushing the gun...

    Peaky Blinders Brit revolvers

    I remember that during the discussions about the .455 stopping power, the concept of dwell time was advanced by the Brits as a contributing factor. The longer the dwell time in the body, the better the stopping power. A silly concept I admit, especially if taken to the logical extreme as the...

    Freedom Arms?

    Regarding the BFR revolvers, if you go over to the Cast Boolit Forum and so a search for 44man postings in the Wheelguns, Pistols & Handcannons section, you will find a lot of info on the capabilities of the BFRs. He is an exceptional shot and can extract all the accuracy that a gun is capable...

    S&W 629-5" vs 6" Barrel?

    If carried in a holster, I think you will be much happier wit the 5". They carry well and handle well. With the full lug the recoil is nothing to worry about. I have or had the 5", 6.5", a 7.5" and an 8.375 " full lugged guns and the 5" handled about the best. The 6.5" was sweet to hunt with...

    1000 yrd .270?

    Years ago, one of the contributors to the Fullbore* newsgroup recounted the outcomes of some testing he did on the Ballistic Tips. Out to about 600 yards, they would run with the best of the match bullets, but after that their accuracy fell off noticeably. If you do try them and notice that...
