As my wife and I were heading to the range Saturday, the gun case holding her Ruger single ten slipped from her hands and hit the floor. The front fiber optic sight was broken in the process. I called Ruger today about ordering a new one, fully prepared to pay, when the customer service guy...

My son's Ruger has functioned flawlessly with 185 grain to 230 grain flat nose and round nose jacketed bullets as well as cast lead SWC. So far it's never met a bullet it didn't like. My wife's Sigsauer C3 also feeds 185 to 230 grain flat and round nose jacketed with no problem but will not feed...

I was watching some cop show and they compared the primer strike on a case from a new murder to the primer strike on a case from an old murder and claimed they had a match. Because the case brands were the same and the primer strike was in the same location they felt they could solve both...

Today I had my son time how fast I can draw and accurately fire a lethal round at a silhouette 10 yards away. For me it was about 3.25 seconds. Being controlled and safe was my main concern. I carry an SP101 Ruger .357 in an IWB holster at about 4 o'clock. I was wearing a long buttoned shirt...

I am only able to shoot about once a month and it seems to always take a couple of magazines or cylinders before I began to shoot consistently. How many of you typically take a little warm up before you hit your stride?

It was reported last year that Hodgdon Universal Clays powder was being discontinued. I just ordered 4 lbs from Big Rock Sports. So is it being discontinued or not?

I started conceal carry about a month ago. The gun I carry is a Ruger SP101 .357 2 1/2 " barrel. I tried an Uncle Mikes "$12.00 holster" and it felt like I had a brick in my waist band, the holster would slide up and it had poor gun retention. I switched to a Galco "Stow-N-Go" holster and can...

My wife and I are going to start shooting at steel targets and frangible bullets seem to be the safest way to do it. Are there any tricks to reloading them? Are they as accurate as regular handgun bullets from 10 to 25 yards? What is a good source for them?

I'm thinking about buying a steel target for my wife and I. We shoot .380 auto, .45 acp, .45 Colt and .22 lr handguns. I occasionally shoot Ruger Only loads in my .45 Colt Blackhawk. Is there 1 target for all these calibers? Do we have to shoot cast lead or can we also shoot jacketed bullets...

I have a .45 acp load that functions flawlessly in a Ruger 1911, but does not function at all in a Kimber 1911. In the Kimber, you initially charge the gun, it fires, but the slide will not go back. You can repeat this procedure until the gun is empty. I am using Lee carbide dies with a...

I have read lots of bad reviews about "Turkey" shotguns, but when I research Yildiz shotguns, which are distributed by Academy stores, most all of the reviews are positive. Any one have any experience with them?

My wife and I handled a Desert Eagle 1911c .45 acp recently and are considering buying it. They were asking about $600.00 new. Any thoughts on this gun?

My reloads are a 185 grain jacketed bullet loaded with Bullseye. The Ruger and Kimber are both 1911's. The Ruger fires the rounds flawlessly while the slide on the Kimber will not operate at all. The slide must be operated manually on every single round. The cartridge will go into battery, the...

I posted about our difficulties with Remington Golden bullets locking the cylinder down on my Wife's Ruger Single Ten. I am happy to report that Federal and Fiocchi .22 LR bullets function perfectly. I am anxious to try CCI and Winchester.

My wife was discussing types of energy with her 5th graders and one student asked about energy involved in a bullet leaving a gun. (No he wasn't expelled). She thinks it is Potential energy, chemical energy and kinetic energy. What do you guys think?

Before buying a Ruger Single Ten I did a lot of research on the gun. Apparently several people had issues with Remington Golden .22 LR locking the cylinder down. Add me to the list. The Federal did fine, but not the Remington in my wife's new gun. Either Ruger's tolerances are very tight, or...

My wife has been wanting a double action .22 revolver. However, today she fell in love with a Ruger single action ten shot. To top it off, as she was admiring it she pointed out the serial number to me. It was a combination of our anniversary and the year she was born. I would be very...

My son is looking for an o/u shotgun and is interested in the Weatherby orion. Does anyone have any experience with this gun?

My wife and I qualified for our conceal carry today and the shooting requirement was 15 rounds from 3 yards and 10 rounds from 7 yards. You had to place 17 out of 25 rounds in a 12" wide by 18" tall rectangle. We qualified with a .45 Colt revolver and .45 ACP semi-auto which means we can carry...

I loaded up some .45 Colt using 200 grain RNFP cast lead bullets, HS-6, starline brass and CCI primers and did a light roll crimp right at the top of the cannelure. It turned out to be a very accurate load. I repeated the same load for today's shooting and it was very inconsistent. I looked...
