    Polymer Sig Handguns?

    I own four Sigs, a P320, a P365XL, a P229 and a P226 (old German model). I have literally shot the sh-- out of them and not once have had a problem. The 320 issue is perpetuated a lot by Glock owners who have forgotten the glocks had the same trigger issue hence the comment "Glock leg". Sig...

    Which optic sights do you use on your pistols?

    Not to dispute the first comment but you won't be practicing your presentation at 10 feet. I have yet to talk to a survivor of a shoot out or looked at past records and found an officer or other person that has taken the time to try and aim. It is point shooting at its best.

    Which optic sights do you use on your pistols?

    I use a Leupold Red Dot for my S&W .22 caliber target pistol. As far as combat pistols are concerned I stay away from Red dots or any other type of mount. The normal distance for Self defense shooting is up to 21 feet. Most are far less. I'm 80 years old with cataract surgery and my eyes work...

    Weatherby Camelia Wilderness 7-08 Rem

    Nice looking rifle. I'm running IMR4350 with 140 grain partitions through mine for just less than 1 inch groups. The 7-08 isn't fussy with powders and I'm sure you'll find a good combo.

    O.A.C.L.for 300 win mag

    When I purchased my Christensen Arms .300 Win Mag I found the magazine box to be real long and the throat to be real short. I solved the problem with a good gunsmith. Now I can load to 3.600 with all bullets and longer with some of the sleek long range bullets. It did change the performance of...

    Cancer Update

    That's great to hear. I know it was a rough road for him to get to this point. Keep up the testing and now it's time to start getting life back on the rails.

    Most memorable hunt?

    I've hunted Deer in Maine for Many years and with good company all hunts are memorable. I do have to say when I started Elk hunting in 1994 it was certainly different at 9200 feet in Colorado than Maine at swamp level in many areas. My hunting buddy of 50 years and I covered many miles of...

    New Here

    At 80 years of age My old injuries have come back to say hello when I do certain things I shouldn't. A motorcycle accident when I was 20 shortened my back of my left leg about 3/4 of an inch which was fine for many years. Now the arthritis creeps in when least expected.

    Hunting optics, What do you use?

    I am using a Zeiss 1.5X6 Diavari for my .338RUM and feel that scope is the best one I've ever owned. A Kahles 3X9 sits on my Christensen arms .300Mag. A Leupold 2.5X8 sits on my 7-08 and has taken a lot of deer. An old Nikon 1X4 sits on my Ruger .44 carbine. (very bright) Binnoculars are a set...

    Favorite Lever Action Rifle and Cartridge

    My first deer rifle was a 336 Texan in .35 Remington. That rifle did drop deer. The 2nd was a Win. model 94 in 30.30 that spent a bit of time in the Maine Woods taking whitetail. Switching to Bolts and Semi Autos it was a long time before I came back to Levers. Presently I have a model 94 in .32...

    Primer POP

    I had a batch of Military cases for my AR that I had just run through a swaging die to get rid of the primer crimp that so many cases have. I then started to seat primers and as usual some primer pockets were tighter than others. I was moving along and ran into a particularly tight primer pocket...

    Visitor to My Neighbourhood

    My buddy in Maine had a really nice apple tree (with a fence around it) growing for a few years in the front yard. He took very good care of it and had gotten apples on a couple of occasions. As he does not live in Maine but in New York he drives up once a month and stays for two weeks at a...

    Favourite 30-06-based Cartridge?

    When I first started out as a hunter at 16Yrs. of age I purchased a Marlin lever in .35Rem. The second rifle was a Browning A-Bolt in 30.06. 165 Grain Sierra Spitzer boat tails was the bullet used. That rifle took a ton of deer over the years and I still have it. My 1999 Maine moose also fell...

    1911 Kimber Photo

    I laughed when I read that comment. Our Cell block was on the third floor and the prisoner had to take the elevator up. A good number of them tripped while getting into the elevator.

    I Messed up on Ear Protection

    I lost a lot of my hearing in the Navy. I was the pointer (trigger puller) on a 3"X50 and I was told by the gunner's mate that my Sound powered earphones would protect my ears. And I actually believed him. I just couldn't understand why I couldn't hear for three days after having shot a number...

    Small Town

    Reminds me of when I first moved to small town Florida back in 1992. 9000 people which really wasn't a lot in our size town. Two Traffic lights. A caution light on US1 where our main highway (two lane) met it. You could actually lay down on US1 in the summer and never worry about a vehicle...

    Update the .450 Marlin

    A good friend of mine purchased his Competitor Arms single shot about a month after I had gotten mine and had ordered it in .300WM. Mine was in 30.06. With the muzzle brake mine was tolerable but the noise was ungodly and under a metal roof it was intolerable. We shot his .300Mag with 180 grain...
