    New Front Sight on my S&W 629

    I have Dawson fiber on several of my handguns. I have one still in the package for my S&W 1911.

    New Pistol

    While the SA-35 was off to Springfield I picked up Springfield Ronin lightweight 9mm. I took it to the range with the SA -35 and shot a few dozen rounds through it. The edges of the beaver tail on the grip safety and the back edge of the thumb safety were so rough they put raspberries on the...

    Handgun Ballistic Gel Testing

    Has anyone seen a full FBI protocol test on the Federal HST rounds, especially 9mm. Never mind I found it at Federal law enforcement.

    Handgun Ballistic Gel Testing

    I appreciate you posting that JD. I've been looking over 9mm luger for EDC in my new 9mms. It appears that the standard velocity Federal HST has it all, penetration, expansion and consistency. I have a couple hundred rounds of Federal 124gr HydraShok +p+ that I was gifted a decade ago that I...

    Wild hog loin

    Man! That looks larapin. The first "large" crutter my son shot with a rifle was a wild boar that weighed 125lbs. There was much skepticism in the family about eating a boar. I took the back strap and coated them liberally with Tony's and then wrapped them in bacon and smoked 'em. They were...

    New Pistol

    I got my SA-35 back from Springfield, it took three weeks from shipping day to return day. I got out to the range and ran a couple hundred rounds of white box 115gr through six MecGar magazines without a hiccup. I did some draw and reload drills and found the gun handled much like a 1911...

    Early Spring

    I have a slightly older model of the Stihl. I use it for Youpon and Quisache. It is a good tool.

    A local GS guy told me they had to pay retail price for the powder they received from their supplier a couple days ago.

    New carry pistol...big change

    That Body Guard is a nice pocket pistol. My wife chose it because it has a safety. I like because it will fit in the cargo pocket of my 5.11s. I wish you could train them all, there are too many drivers out there that graduated from the we don't fail anybody school. Good luck in your new...

    New Pistol

    On the positive side, Springfield apologized and sent out a FedEx label right off. The were as friendly and as helpful as I guess they could be. Though they wouldn't just send me out a new extractor.

    New Pistol

    I bought me a new handgun back before Christmas but haven't been able to get out to the range to give it a good break in. Finally got out Monday with my new Springfield SA-35 9mm. I shot a couple if mags in the back yard to make sure everything functioned correctly and it did. At the range I...
