Courtesy of our very own @MattTheHat I now have a spiffy new-to-me Astra A-70 A fine bit of Guernica gun smithing, if from the days of the wundernine It's a small-medium size 8-round 9x19, the fit is really incredible. Size is perhaps 10mm (call it 3/8") longer than a SIG-365, same height...

It's passing popular, here on THR, to read about just how bad many gun shows are. This often gets into regional gripes, and gripes that are more related to the show promoters than the show vendors. That is what it is. "Back in the day" is just that, where it could be worth driving a 110 miles...

Could not be happier with this one. Also, proof positive that the THR Trading Post has some outstanding folk Very sweet deal, too Magazines Pairs well with my Series 70

Our "friends" at Bloomberg-paid-for Everytown just released a searchable database of every US FFL (or they allege it's 100%). While this is troubling, as nefarious types might use the location data to plan for break-ins--that would require that hoodlums, a social cohort not generally known for...

Hi the timing just right, left just as baseball traffic was backing up to get into the Ballpark. And got to Will Rogers after the first crush of folks had found parking for the Colonial. Was there just after the typical lunchtime crush, too. Well-attended show, and plenty of tables. My ammo...

It was a busy show (pretty busy parking lot, too, what with a rodeo and the ballet on, all at the same time). Lots of ammo around, and a wide and varied array of firearms. Prices were about gunshow average (smart vendors have worked out that most consumers already know internet pricing and...

Dallas Arms Collector Association used to have shows at Dallas Market Hall. Which was a nice large venue, if with sub-ideal parking. For a number of reasons, DACA and DMH split the blanket. So, they are now out at the South Fork Ranch out on the edge of Parker, Texas. Parking is pretty...

So, it turns out the batteries in the shake-awake Romeo Zero sight on my 365X last right at 650 days. Ok, that's a thing. So, I search for batteries in the house. AAA through D: Covered. 123 batteries: Check (4 out of a six-pack, no less) 1620 batteries for the S&W dot sight: Check Even...

Unlike all too many of the "restoration" videos on YT, this one appears to be by a sensible person. (I do question why they did not lever the mag out first.)

We have a thread for 9mm pistols, why not one for 45acp? Alphabetical listing AO 1911A1 Colt Officer's Series 70 Norinco Model of 1911 SIG P220 (US) SIG P220 (W. German) Sistema 1911A1 (Hartford-made--miss this one dearly) TISAS "Tanker" (aka "Commander size) Gotta love the Teas-Sauce

So, I know some noobs (naturally cash-strapped) wanting to get into concealed carry. They are in Shreveport LA, 200 miles east of me, in a different State, so, I'm looking for local information if I can find it to pass along as they go through LA's CHL process. I've been to Red River, the...

A .416 Barrett shot out to 4.4 miles--oh my. https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns/new-world-record-longest-rifle-shot/ Snip quote Image from the article Check out that scope riser. I'm wondering how many times they knocked one out before they got the angle too close. Youtube video Target was...

Ok, I want one of these now. Also Basically, it's what happens if you go "Can we make an AR a short-stroke piston action?" While also going "Let's build it with as many AR parts as we can, too!" Wonder who will import these, though. SAI is already importing the Hellion, so they may not be...

Promoter is Premier, who generally does decent vendors and venues. NyTex Arean in North Richland Hills definitely counts as a unique venue. It normally is iced up for ice skating and both Club & Regional Hockey. Parking lot is right at "adequate" for Brahmas Hockey games, definitely too small...

Ok, so Brownell's teased this image today asking to "guess the caliber." So, first thing is that's clearly a Weatherby belted magnum case either blown out or trimmed. And the projectile looks like one of the elegant high-BC 7mms. The 460wbymg is also the 375, if memory serves. But 7-460...

Let us presume some things. Like having the wherewithal. And the inclination to a 1911 variant. And one was standing in the LGS looking at the same feature set in a given pistol. So, that it would be apples to apple or avocados to avocados. So, Commander to Commander, or Officer's to Officer's...

So, I went in my LGS to scope out ammo. They are still in their strange status quo where they have SD ammo in variety (if not necessarily economy), and no FMJ. (Did grab 9x19 STHP since it was $1.51/round, down from the $2@ I paid three months ago). However, while the ammo shelves had a number...

Was a crowded parking lot right at noon--about a 10 minute wait to get in. Then as long as it took to get a space. A line to get in the entrance as well. But, then, the venue--as Will Rogers often does--just swallowed the throng. It was hard to tell where the attention was, too. There were...

Was at the "just right" of crowding at two this afternoon. Plenty of people filling out 4472 as well as buying stuff, too--so it was a good day for buyers and vendors. Ammunition was plentiful, if all the same (few) manufacturers/brands--and improved from a couple months ago. Ammo as not cheaper...

After looking around, and getting fingerprints on a bunch of XL at the last coupe of gunshows, decided to spend the money at the LGS. Ok, so I probably could have saved $50-60 by picking up an XL at the show on Saturday (and thought about it long and hard), I was committed to how the X fit in...
