My wife carries the 365. Great little pistol. With the Wilson combat grip module it is extremely comfortable to shoot for so small a gun. My wife’s gun is the manual safety version and I have no doubts to it’s safe function

It’s been a revolver kind of month. I keep happening into deals on big bore revolvers I can’t pass up. Two X frames and a custom Ruger super redhawk. The first was the 6.5” 500 S&W. I’ve always thought this to be the most practical of the 500s. Long enough to get decent performance and...

I have been let down by leupold, My buddy teaches a long range class here in Ak and has had more issues with leupold than any other brand. For my rifles if it has a turret it’s a nightforce, vortex razor, or Swarovski. Swarovski if weight is a concern.

I wanted a little more magnification than the 2.5-10 nightforce so I changed scopes to a vortex razor LHT 4-22x50. I have been extremely impressed by the vortex LHT 3-15s and this being a FFP optic seemed perfect for my Seekins element 7 PRC. I’ve been so busy shooting pistol comps the last...

Took the RPM out to the range today. The factory 225s were sporty off the bench. Ended up running a full box out of it. Feeling it tonight! It’s actually not as bad as expected considering the weight.

I got another 338 too add to the list. 338 RPM. Talk about a light handy rifle with a lot of clout.

I’ve got a couple new ones that need to get loads worked out and taken hunting. I’m pretty excited to get them working. Seekins element in 7prc with 4-22 vortex LHT. Another is a weatherby backcountry 2.0 in 338 RPM wearing a 2.5-10x32 NXS I also have a 45cal suppressor in NFA timeout and...

I would use a 124gr hammer hunter. I use that bullet in my 6.5 PRC and it has performed very well. A lighter mono metal bullet will pick up some speed and still penetrate very well.

The edc x9 are a really sweet pistol.

A 2011 is basically a double stack 1911. I think 2011 might be a trademarked name for double stack 1911 by STI/staccato. They maintain the 1911 grip angle and basic features. The most important being that magical 1911 trigger. I pity those poor souls who haven’t experienced a really...

The staccato is everything you would expect it to be. Excellent trigger, smooth cycling, operates like a Swiss watch. It shoots extremely flat with very little muzzle rise under recoil. This is the first I’ve done any shooting with a light mounted to the gun. The extra weight combined...

Added another to the fold! Staccato XC

The kimber is a very nice little carry pistol. At roughly Glock 19 size with a little better capacity it makes for an impressive packable defensive gun. If I never held a Wilson edc x9 I would probably been very satisfied with it. It shoots completely reliably with any ammo I’ve put thru...

338 federal (pistol and rifle) 338/06 338 RCM 338 win 340 weatherby 338 RUM 338 lapua Of them all the 338 RCM was probably the most well balanced. I currently have a 340 bee and lapua in rifles and the 338 federal in a 15” encore. There 338 ARC really has my interest in a short bolt gun...

I figured this pistol deserved a post of its own. I happened on the stealth arms website after getting into a YouTube hole watching 2011 videos. Everything online has been very favorable and kept talking about the gun builder feature on the stealth arms website. Stealth Arms This lead to...
