I bought a nice new S&W 686 Pro and just finished an action job today when I noticed something odd. What’s wrong with this picture?

Well, my idea of one, anyway. Several months ago, I replaced the gen II Glock 19 I’ve been packing for the last 6 years with a new XDm 3.8 with the full-size frame. I stuck with the 9mm, but bumped the capacity to 20 rounds. The interchangeable backstraps and ambi mag release were other...

I went out to base (I’m retired military) to talk to my doc and pick up some prescriptions. I knew there was a week-long exercise in progress, so I got to the gate early in case there was a holdup. No delay getting through the gate, but I was waved over by an SP right inside the gate. He had...

I’m a big fan of Tritium Fiber Optic sights on defense and competition handguns. TFOs aren’t available for everything, so I use FOs when I have to. My daily carry Glock 19 / TFO: Two-tone TFOs on my XD .45. I prefer the all-green type, but these are OK, too. FO front and target rear on my...

I bought this little gun around 1980, when FA was still making stuff I could afford. I think I paid about $110 for it. Shown about 2X actual size with some .22 ammo and a couple of .44 Spl rounds. I’ve won some money over the years, betting I could hit a full size military silhouette at 100...

I have one of these in 3-9X on my AR. This is about 73% off retail. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=XRTG1410005&src=ba681

Sunset over the lake from my back yard. Viera, Florida A bit cool at 70 degrees. I was tempted to put on a jacket, but it's only November!!

I have a fixed-sight DAO GP100 that I really like. It has a very nice trigger and shoots good groups. Only problems is, the groups are 2 1/2” to the right at 15 yds. I opened up the left side of the sight notch and added a plastic shim on the right side. That moved the groups about 1” to...

I bought a mount for a "scout" rifle which works well, except for one thing. It came with its own 1" rings - not Weaver type - and I want to mount a red dot scope. What red dots are available that will fit 1" rings? I'm looking for a fairly small dot, too. Certainly nothing over 4 minute...

I'm looking for an inexpensive red-dot for my SKS. My eyes can no longer handle open sights on a rifle. CDNN has BECs for cheap and I'm thinking about getting one (2 MOA T-Dot) to try out - sort of a proof-of-principle experiment. Anyone try them? John Cape Canaveral

I've owned 3 DWs, but always used them in silhouette competition and didn't need a holster. My new/old M14 with a 4" barrel and fixed sights will be a carry gun - if I can figure out how to carry it. There are lots of holsters for the K and L frame Smiths and Rugers around. Does anyone know if...
