Carson Wentz, Quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, bought Shotguns for his offensive linemen for Christmas. I don't know the exact model but I believe they are Berettas and will have the Linemen's names engraved on them. Makes me wish I was a linemen in the NFL. But, at 5'11", 160 lbs and...

A friend reloaded 10 .30-06 rounds. New resized Remington brass. Winchester primers. Savage rifle. Primers were seated below surface. 7 of the 10 rounds would not fire after 3 attempts. Bullets and powder were removed and primed cases were reloaded in rifle. All 7 primers fired on first...

I just read where Kim Rhodes became the first Woman and second athlete to medal in 6 straight Olympics. She was in the Skeet competition. Congratulations to her.

I want the absolute best hearing protection known to man. I want the sound from an AR15 to be reduced to the sound of a mouse walking on cotton. What do I need to get?

I posted earlier that I was battling an occasional flinch when shooting handguns in single action mode. I am anticipating the shot and the inevitable recoil. At the last range session, I was shooting my Redhawk .45 Colt in single action mode at 25 yards and during most of the six shot groups...

The parents of an employee suffered a house fire recently. A .357 revolver was found in a closet in a charred holster. The revolver was fully loaded with 4 brass cased cartridges and two nickel plated cartridges. After inspecting the gun, the owner decided to fire the rounds. None of the brass...

The instructor of the concealed carry class I took said that you only shoot at the threat until it is no longer a threat. Many of the training videos I have watched show individuals drawing their firearm as quickly as they can and then firing multiple shots as fast as they can at the target. A...

I was cleaning some .45 Colt brass that has been reloaded about 30 times when I noticed 4 Starline pieces with split necks and a Winchester piece that had a 1/2 inch crack running parallel to the case. These cases have been fired exclusively in a Ruger Blackhawk until the last time when they...

My wife purchased a Sig 1911 .45 ACP in November 2015 with the Crimson Trace wrap around grips. It has worked fine until now. She turned it on and fired 5 shots and all seemed fine. She then handed me the gun and it no longer worked. I have gone through two sets of new batteries, but it still...

I am obvious of the fact that I have a flinch. I've been shooting all my life, but the flinch started about 6 years ago while shooting my .45 Colt Blackhawk. If I really focus on the front sight and squeezing the trigger I can overcome it, but it pops up randomly during all my shooting sessions...

As I progress through my 50's, I am much more cautious about what I do and what I expose myself to. I was curious as to what does more damage to a person's body, a heavy kicking handgun or a heavy kicking rifle. Specifically, 50 rounds through a .454 Casull 50 ounce revolver shooting hot loads...

I have limited experience with scopes but will certainly admit that the Nikon $150.00 scope I had was considerably better than the $70.00 Simmons scope my son has. That being said, for an afternoon of plinking at tin cans and prairie dogs at no more than 100 yards, is a $300.00 Leupold really...

I was cleaning out the garage today when I noticed my old pellet gun laying on a shelf. My Dad bought it for me in the Summer of 1974 when I was almost 10 years old. It was a Daisy model 880 pump. I can remember that day as if it was yesterday. You could pump it up a maximum of 10 times, though...

A friend had a Browning Bar II semi-auto safari 7mm 24" barrel with Leopold Vari-x III 4.5 x 14 50 mm scope for $700.00. Looks to be in good shape with very few wear marks on it. Is this a good price?

I have shot several thousand rounds of cast lead bullets through my Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt and have never had a problem with leading. I've shot 200 grains though 350 grains in several different brands and no leading, until now. The culprit was Speer cold formed 250 grain "bargain" bullets with...

I have had a Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt for about 4 years and have around 4000 rounds through it. I didn't realize how bad the trigger was until I was shooting my wife's Sig 1911 and her Smith and Wesson .22 semi-auto. I tried the trick of taking one leg of the trigger spring off of it's pin and...

When going to the range or hunting, do you carry your guns in a soft case or hard case? Personally, I carry my rifles in soft cases. Several of our handguns came in hard cases so that is how they are carried, though a few of them have there own soft case. I was looking at hard cases in...

I use to own an H & R single shot .308. I neck sized the brass using the Lee Loader (the mallet and die type) and produced some pretty accurate ammo. I traded this rifle off a few years ago but still have about 50 rounds on hand. I have read that this ammo will only safely chamber in the rifle...

My Brother gave me his Stoeger Condor O/U he bought back in the eighties. It is a 12 gauge with 28" barrels, fixed chokes, single trigger, extractors, walnut stock, made in Brazil. He said he never had any trouble with it during his days of Dove and Quail hunting. What I am trying to determine...

At a gun show currently going on, a vendor has a Freedom Arms Field Grade 7 1/2" barrel .454 Casull with Pachmyr grips and extra .45 Colt cylinder. He said it is 20 years old, he is the original owner and he has fired around 150 rounds through it. He is asking $950.00. Is it worth it and are...
