    Are these rounds safe?

    I "inherited" five hundred rounds of 9mm reloads. Mostly 115gr GDHP over 7 gr of Blue Dot in virgin cases. I spec'ed some from each box and I find 2 boxes have an OAL of 1.013. These boxes have no load data. Since the handloader is not available to confirm the load, I assume they are also 7...

    Can anyone shed light on Accu-Match pistols?

    I know that they made custom pistols in Mesa, AZ 1995-1996 and folded after the owner died with only a few hundred ever being made. I've heard that at one time Brian Enos used these 1911's in competition. I bought one recently and find it to be comparable to a Les Baer. Tight, but smooth...

    Hk extractor pulls the brass off of PMC

    Tried out my HK Tactical semi auto with PMC #1 buck and Ranger Low Recoil 00. Functioned perfectly with the Rangers, but with 4 of the PMC there were extraction failures...namely pulling the brass off and leaving the plastic hull behind! Is this a PMC or HK issue? This semi auto...

    Care and feeding of '70's WingMaster

    This beauty caught my eye while buying some ammo at the local dealer. Good wood. Perfect blue finish. 20" smoothbore with rifle sights. Sling attached. Best trigger I've experienced on a long gun. $225 and I'm happy. I've got cases of target and buck, but no slugs. What do you recommend...

    Mountain Lion encounter

    We're opening up a new portion of land for sale in 36-acre parcels. Our work crews have reported several sightings of lions and it doesn't appear to be same one every time. This area is known to be a place where cubs are seen, too. In the several encounters I have had previously on other...

    Uberti .44-40 AND .44SPL convertible

    I found a "Regulator" convertible that has cylinders for both cartridges. I like the idea, but I'm uncertain how they can both be accurate out of the same barrel. Anyone have any experience with this?

    Need an update on the HK SLB 2000

    I found a used one (barely) for $689 with 2, 5 and 10 round magazines GunsAmerica has them from $649 to $1,300 There's word that this model is a marketing failure and will be pulled from US import Reports of accuracy and function are good so far What do you guys hear?

    I took a chance on Mitch Rosen

    I found a beautiful ARG in black for a SIG P239 in the "bargain bin" at my usual gunstore...for $25 plus $10 for the mag case....$35 for this rig was too good to pass up. But it doesn't fit MY P239 which is .357/.40 ... seems to have built for the less robust 9mm. Can this holster be...

    I traded an 870P for an Ithaca D.S. Police Special

    I know many folk swear by the 870 and even more so a Police Magnum, but slug barrel in great shape rifle sights parkerized finish no disconnect no "Benelli thumb" short stroke 7 + 1 significantly lighter and , of course, getting some change back was nice!!

    Two New Semi's Today

    My new HK (Fabarms) Tactical Semi arrived today. Straight grip, 20" barrel and rifle sights...adding extension and Ghost Rings later. Liked the semi so well, I bought a used Franchi AL 48 12g with a 26" barrel to do some clay busting. The thing about the Franchi is ...it is SOOO light. And it...

    Do I really have what I think I have?

    I am satisfied that I have a super addition to my .45 collection, but I am not sure that this is everything that it was said to be...I've never been that lucky. For $850, I bought a Kimber CDP Pro Series I with no visible signs of wear. It sports Ashley night sights. No ambi safety. Wilson...

    Mossy 590 drops shells out

    I've had a number of shotguns.. Remmys, Beretta, Benelli's even an HK...but I have never had shells drop out of the bottom until today. I took my recently acquired 590 out for a trial and more shells fell out of the bottom than went downrange. This has never happened with any other pump...

    I'd like to hear facts and opinions on the Taurus PT908

    I've heard good and bad reports on this discontinued model from Taurus. As for Taurus, some people swear by them while some people swear at them. I like the single stack. I like the decocker. I like the size. Is this a reliable weapon?

    Bear "dispatched" with handgun

    All you guys wondering what handgun is best for bears should read the account of an "expert" and his friend being mauled to death by a brown bear (MSNBC). The victims were the non-violent type. The ranger who put the bear down made a grievous error, IMHO. While two officers with SHOTGUNS...
