In terms solely of accuracy, shooting a handgun well (or any firearm) can be distilled down to "sights and trigger". Expanding that slightly, proper sight alignment and FOCUS, and controlling the trigger, which also addresses the dreaded flinch. There is more to it than aligning the sights...

I have long been allured by the look of the 3-1/2" M27 revolver. I own a "no dash" M28. Recently I have found a 3-1/2" M27-2 BARREL ONLY for sale. The barrel is NICKEL gosh darn it! So.....for conversations sake and disregarding the fact that dismantling a "no dash" in fairly good...

My great Uncle, quite a character in his own right, always claimed that the '06 with a 180 gr RN, was the "best deer killer in the woods". This after shooting a Rem Model 14 pump in .35Rem/200 for many years. I followed the family mantra as a kid, but eventually moved away from the...

I have been fascinated with the 1860 Colt percussion revolver since I was a kid. The local hardware store had metal, non firing replicas that they would allow me to handle at grade school age. Also, my folks bought me the "Big Book of Guns" which had a picture of an 1860 hanging from a nail on...

With the cost of commercial T/C Maxiballs skyrocketing, I bought an affordable Lee .50/320 gr REAL mold and figured I would cast my own conicals. Neither my Renegade (1:48) or White Mtn carbine (1:20 , not a typo) would shoot the things worth a hoot. I varied charge weights 70-85 grains...

The year started with two misses in bow season, one a literal chip shot.:mad: Two weeks into bow season and I had to bail for a month to assist with my ailing elderly momma.......she's gonna be fine and of course who wouldn't have gone? Upon my return, first night out, I had a likely P&Y buck...

I was perusing an out of state gun shop this month and noted a Charles Daily semi shotgun that loosely resembled an Auto 5. I'd never heard or seen of the gun prior, the AutoPointer. Online research lends me to think the gun is from the early 60's. They are not part for part A5 copies but...

Would like to hear comments and experience of anybody shooting the Defoor sights as sold by Ameriglo. I've had it with the factory Glock sights, damaged and no daylight in the sight picture. Thinking all my Glock pistols may get a set if I like them......first up a G21 that got the rear...

Can anyone advise on the barrel profile on a S&W MP15 gen 1? I am considering purchase of same, used, as the basis for a lightweight build AR. The semi slick side upper is a plus for me, but the owner cannot advise on barrel profile. At present, neither of us are in proximity of the rifle...

I touched on this in my post regards the CZ o/U dedicated turkey gun, but thought the subject might deserve a separate thread. How commonly is this quirk encountered? Has anyone discovered it to the degree that the gun has one barrel that is "off" enough effect good shooting? Is one...

Has anybody had any experience with the CZ Reaper? I'm beginning to think an o/U so configured might be the ultimate gobbler gun. Browning sellls the Cynergy for around $2000, The Turk guns seem an affordable option, starting around $500 , with the Reaper selling around $1000. The...

I've owned and tinkered with a .32 CVA Squirrel rifle for many years. While surfing the web today I read commentary on twist rates for the little rifle, and various owners reported a wide range of twists, of which they were quite sure. Rates ranged from 1:32, 1:48, 1:56, the slow twist even...

Just read in my May 2022 issue of RIFLE magazine that Ruger/Marlin intends to rifle their .44 mag model 1894 lever carbines 1 :20 " , when they get around to producing them. . I've thought for sometime that the traditional 1:38" was a shortfall and limited the .44 carbines with general...

As in past years, I will post a commentary on my season. My laptop is down and working from a tiny notebook, my narratives may be brief till I get a better keyboard with which to work 1April, first day, first bird. Changes to the season this year regards dates, decoys. Opening morning...

The " Meateater" show ran an episode on flintlock deer hunting in PA. The host borrows an import fainter, on which there is mounted a very nifty peep sight. It's not a TC, nor a Lyman. I've been wanting to install a peep on my Renegade, but the TC sights, if you can find one are costly...

Saw my first Academy 1-6x Redfield today. Had no idea Leupold had sold the brand! :confused: Likely made where China, Phillipines. Any users....comments welcome.

In recent weeks I've had occassionto utilize a "hasn't had I've been using for many years, but wonder just how well known this trick may be.....so here ya go. Correct and safe procedure when hunting from elevated stands ist climb, then retrieve your bow/rifle/gear with a pull rope, attached to...

Some time back I recall reading an article concerning a vintage sxs double intended primarily for market hunting and high volume shooting. Relatively plain finish, wood chosen for straight grain, and frame/lockwork HD as well, the phrase "heavy duck gun" comes to mind, but I think that was...

I have bought a set of "retro" higher profile sights to replace the GI style sights on my budget 1911A1 pistol. I've considered buying the staking tool and doing it myself, but am exploring local options to have a 'smith do it. One such fella states that after staking the front sight with...

As the title states, bought this pistol about a month ago from our local Rural King. Sticker price $409.00.....out the door for less than $450. I had two identical pistols in my hands last year at this time, (same price) but did not buy. When this one surfaced, I did not hesitate. Sure...
