1000 rounds through the A400, not a single malfunction, and it is an absolute pleasure to shoot. When I'm on (trap, 16-20 yard line) I can consistently get 22-24, averaging 86 when I shoot 100's. When I'm off, well I'm off but those days are happening less and less. It seems like it shoots...

I posted a few weeks ago about getting a new A400 and wanting to get back into the clay sports. I grew up shooting skeet twice a week with my dad, but the last time I went was probably in 1999. I shot 4 rounds of trap yesterday and didn't do too hot. I was having to hold 3-4 feet underneath...

I grew up shooting skeet with my father twice a week, in addition to competing in small bore sporter-rifle. As I've aged (I'm at the ripe old age of 33) I found myself lacking enjoyment in my shooting endeavors, as carbine and pistol shooting too closely resemble work (I did quite a bit of...

The non-profit organization Raising Raiders is hosting a raffle for a custom 1911 from KC's Custom Creations. This organization was founded by 4 MARSOC spouses in order to support the MARSOC community. They were one of the first organizations to step in to provide support to the families of...

When I initially purchased my 642-2 I was looking for a 42 but couldn't seem to track one down. I went with the 642 and eventually put laser grips on it but have since moved away from using them. I spotted a 42 from about 1971 on a local facebook group and offered an even trade and it was...

Last summer I picked up an 870LW Special in great condition at a reasonable price, but the English stock had been cut down to shorter than youth dimensions. I have been unable to track down a replacement other than one by Speedfeed which is unsightly and beats my face up something fierce. Is...

If you have a few hundred thousand laying around, this 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Maharaja complete with (I can't ID it, the article says a .450 hand cranked machine gun) on a trailer and what look like some Howdah pistols on scissor mounts...

I am currently shopping for a mainspring housing with a lanyard loop for my Springfield Operator. I am leaning toward an Ed Brown at the moment, but am not sold on the chainlink pattern (that is the only pattern they use on their lanyard loop MSH). Does anyone have any experience with the...

I am posting this in general handguns as there is a revolver involved, if only for a second. After a range trip I was cleaning some pistols and realized that I have two that I NEVER shoot. One is a 6" 586-7, the other was an early S&W1911 (The "Billboard" model). The 1911 was incredibly...

I recently took a road trip from Colorado out to South Dakota then back through Wyoming, hitting several national parks along the way. My Colorado CHL was valid in all states that I passed through as well as the parks. My question comes regarding Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The public restrooms...

I have a thing for .243 rifles, my first centerfire ever was a Mossberg bolt action carbine that had been in the family for about 45 years, and my first build was a Remington 700 Varmint gun that I went all out on. Today while getting some sights installed on a pistol I noticed a rack of...

Not too long ago my wife and I found out that we are going to be getting a new addition to the family. This made her re-evaluate daily carry (she very rarely carries at the moment, mostly because "it is too heavy!!" which I can agree with, as she typically purse carries a full size M&P 9). She...

The old lady and I are off to the range with some of the collection (figured there are autos and revolvers here, had to go in general handgun, just ignore the 870 for thread purposes). More pics in a few hours when we get back.

I picked up this S&W 1911 on a trade a few days ago. Not my first S&W 1911, I bought a 1911Sc when they first came out and still own it, and love it. I traded a bit high on this but I still think it was the right decision. Traded an old Citori Trap (I don't like trap, when I shoot clays I...

I picked this up off of a friend. Hasn't been fired too much. This is my first SA revolver (not new to revolvers, have owned an SP101, 586 and 642 for a few years) but have always wanted one. Leather comes next, as soon as I can find a cartridge belt who's smallest size isn't 40 inches...

I've been into all manner of shooting since I was about 8 years old, and got into a line of work that deals mostly with pistol and carbine shooting. I would still shoot as often as possible in my free time, but I found my shooting mimicking my work, and while it was enjoyable, it still felt...

Here is a bit of a question for everyone. I have seen all sorts of pictures of expanded rounds of every type and have heard of and looked into all sorts of effects of bullets on tissue. What no one seems to mention in their reports is the rotation of the bullet as it passes through soft...

I've seen several handguns being sold on here that I would just love to buy, but being stationed here in CA I run into the following problem Since it would be a private party transfer, although coming from an out of state FFL to a California FFL, does that make it exempt?

I've got a 1911SC (Now I think they call it the PD) by Smith and Wesson (Its their lightweight commander model). I've had it for about five years, and it is simply amazing, but I'm getting the itch to have some work done. The "local" guy that does 1911 work doesn't seem to have the best...

My Apartment complex has slowly been going downhill since I moved in a year and a half ago. Actually, a little background about myself first, as I don't think I've ever really properly introduced myself here. I currently instruct at the USMC Basic Reconnaissance Course. I've been enlisted...
