    Guess I'll have some 'splainin' to do. But it was such a deal.

    New shooters can still be surprising...

    ... brought my fiancee to the range. She has shot with her father several times and with me a dozen or so times over the years, and once or twice with a female friend of ours. She is learning the fundamentals, but yesterday she really surprised me. I took a Beretta 92 with us this time, and as...

    Waiting on a gun...

    ... getting a little stir-crazy. I had a custom order back at the beginning of December 2022 and a charity raffle win on New Year's Day. The raffle win is undoubtedly the nicest gun I will own probably for the rest of my life, and the custom order was something I've been ogling for five years...

    CMP Round 3 Service Grade 1911A1

    Got my call last Wednesday, RGN 33790, arrived Friday at my local gun shop. At first I was disappointed because the gun shop called and said "Your Remington-Rand is here." I already have a Remington-Rand in what appears to be mostly correct configuration (1945 Remington-Rand frame and Type 3...

    Free Gun Today! (Well... sorta)

    Weird story to follow: I got divorced in 2017, and at the time it was amicable, although the intervening years have rendered it more like two people looking over the Berlin Wall and being technically at peace. At the time, I had left my ex-wife with my Glock 19 to keep as a house gun. This gun...

    First 250 rounds: Springfield Armory 1911DS Prodigy, 4.25"

    I crossposted my review from 1911Addicts, @WVsig Had the opportunity to go shoot my new SA 1911DS Prodigy, the 4.25" variant, and wanted to add a little more data to the community knowledge base about this gun. By way of background - I am neither a 1911 armorer nor a competition shooter...

    UPDATE: S&W M18-2 question

    So a question for the revolver gurus: I have a used S&W M18-2 .22 LR. I have only shot it twice now. The second time at the range yesterday, it started keyholing badly at very close range. I am not the world's greatest pistol shot, but at 5 yards with slow fire in DA or SA I will shoot kind of...

    New P365 variant in the wild

    Compensator and 17-round full-size (full-length anyway) grip. Personally I'd have been interested in a full-size or compact-size P365 with a 4" barrel and a 17-round capacity in a G19-size gun just for the thinness.

    Colt King Cobra Target in .22 LR

    I really need this one. I just picked up a S&W Model 18-2, but I think I am really going to need the 4.25" version. This was announced at the 2022 NRA National Meeting, but I haven't seen any forum chatter about it yet. Supposed to start showing up Q3 of this year. For a rimfire I think I will...

    Normashooting.com, buy 50-round box of 115-gr. 9mm FMJ at $16.99 or .380 Auto, get a free 50-round box of .22 LR. I got 1,000 9mm and 1,000 .22 LR for a total of $367.41 with tax (free shipping). Not a bad price these days.

    Some major value here, folks (Hogue/Ritter RSK2)

    Doug Ritter initially designed this knife for Benchmade, which now makes it as the Freek, but Ritter moved on to Hogue, and with the expiration of the patent on the AXIS lock, Hogue is actually making a better version than Benchmade. I have no dog in this fight other than I just bought one, but...

    Back into the revolver habit in a big way

    Made the mistake of walking into Scheels the other day and seeing they'd got themselves a bunch of Pythons in every barrel length. Made a second mistake and asked to see one, and then made the fatal mistake of dry-firing it. Promptly went home and sold eight knives today and raised enough for...

    Tragic but interesting local shooting (MN)

    Police report linked here in local news report. Synopsis: Victim's family was home in a rural neighborhood when a truck pulled into their driveway. A female witness, related to the victim, went to investigate and saw the driver hiding by the victim's detached garage. She returned to the house...

    New SA Hellcat variant

    Hellcat Pro OSP, compact (mid-size) version, 3.7" barrel, 15-round capacity. This is interesting. I was hoping Sig would make a 15-round P365 with a 4" barrel to compete with the Glock 19, but looks like SA got there first. I'd still like a 4" barrel, though. This looks like it's aimed heavily...

    Well, it's been released into the wild: Sig P210 Carry

    Here it is. Been waiting a long time, wonder how long it'll be before we start actually seeing them around. They added some texturing to the G10 grips, not sure if any other changes were made since we first saw it at SHOT Show 2020.

    Self-defense insurance or subscription legal services?

    Obviously there are a bunch of different organizations offering subscription-based legal aid for permit holders involved in criminal or civil cases arising from a claim of self-defense use of force or threat of force. Anyone have feedback on the different options or whether you feel like this...

    Sig MPX SBR backup iron sights

    Anyone got some that work out well? I have an 8" MPX as an SBR, and I need some backup irons for it. I am a bit concerned because a lot of internet people seem to suggest that they can't get standard AR-15 backup front sights to adjust low enough to zero because the MPX is taller from the bore...

    Sig P365XL sights

    ... can anyone confirm that the standard Sig #6/#8 sights for a P365 will also mount correctly on the P365XL with the way the rear sight mounts on the optic plate? Just trying to make sure that they're directly compatible because most of my usual sight makers don't specifically list the P365XL.
