    XD-S 45 - 180 vs 230 recoil?

    *MY* 230gr handloads shoot very softly out of the XD-S 3.3" .45. 5.0gr of W231 under a cast 230gr LSWC. Self Defense ammo, the 185gr loads I shot (a variety) seemed a lot snappier and the 200gr Hornady XTP is very manageable.

    Flying with handguns ??

    I would politely disagree with this. Not because you're wrong, but because you're absolutely right. The employees won't know the "official" rules, but they will know "how it works at their airport". Waving the rules around and acting as if you know their job better than they do (and you just...

    non-XDS Repair times at Springfield?

    Does anyone have recent experience with sending an XD - that is not an XD-S - back to Springfield for repair? I had an issue with my 5" XD 9 at the last match and have it arriving back to them tomorrow. I'm trying to decide if I need to line up a replacement between now and the next match in...

    Questions for Ruger GSR owners

    I don't have much to add other than I absolutely love my LH Ruger GSR! To me, it's perfect for climbing tree stands, sitting in a cramped blind or riding under the seat of the truck. The scope is a Leupold VX-R 1.25-4x24mm w/Firedot Duplex reticle. Mounts are the factory Ruger rings. I found...

    Slug gun for moose hunting - help me choose

    This first combo you listed above would be perfect in my opinion. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/46905 I said the 1st one you listed because it has the full stock instead of the 'pistol grip only' health hazard. That PGO is only useful in Hollywood. The...

    Herter's .223 steel ammo in Ruger?

    Herters/Tula is what I grab for 3 gun shoots. Super cheap, accurate enough for 300 yards hits on 12" plates and I don't worry about chasing my brass. It's never given me a bit of trouble over ~3K rounds.

    What rifle/cartridge combination did you use on deer this year.

    Ruger Gunsite Scout in .308 loaded with Remington 180gr Core-Lokt. At 125 yards it made a real mess of the heart/lungs as it passed through from just behind the shoulder on the near side and and ahead of the shoulder on the far side.

    What should .223 cost now (Oct 2013)?

    My ARs love the "cheap Russian steel crap". Just finished a 3 gun shoot today in fact. I have in the neighborhood of ~1,600 rounds of "cheap Russian steel crap" through this rifle since the last detail strip. I don't do anything more than a squirt of CLP and a bore snake after a match. I've...

    New SP101 22LR

    Order up a Wolff spring kit too. Makes a good gun great!

    Checking the buyer without the gun. I could buy that.

    It also does nothing about the "will follow the law" and "criminal" groups. Doesn't matter how many background checks you put in place, how onerous or farcical they may be, a criminal is a criminal is a criminal...they won't follow any of the rules.

    Wolff Spring Kit...SP-101

    If I recall correctly, mine has the 10# hammer spring and is 100% reliable. The Wolff springs are very reliable and easy to swap. I did not bother hanging the trigger latch spring (I think that's what they call it...)

    Burris AR332 Prism sight feedback

    I have the AR332 and it is a very solid, durable, choice. The fixed 3x is clear and I like the reticle. That being said, for my AR, I switched it out to the AR-135 "Speed Dot" version. I found I like the 1x better for 2-gun style shooting. The AR332 is now on my S&W 15-22 and I love it...

    S&W MP 15-22 thoughts?

    I have the basic stock standard model w/flash hider. I have done no mods whatsoever to it and am getting excellent accuracy with Federal Bulk Pack ammo and outstanding accuracy with 40gr Minimags. Outstanding as in .5" @ 50 yards.
