    My List

    Okay, before we get started, let me say that this is not a list of things that I'm rushing out to buy tomorrow in a mad frenzy/buying binge. This is a list that I've compiled of several handguns that I intend to acquire over the next few years, and I'm in no particular hurry to get any of them...

    G20 Holster Needed

    I'm looking for a holster that will accommodate both my Glock 20SF (Uses same holster as standard G20) and the Glock GTL 21/22 Laser/Light combo. It mounts on the tac-rail on the dust cover. I would prefer Level II or lower retention. Oh, BTW, I'm a lefty... Any ideas???

    Picked up a new XDM the other day...

    It was an XDM in .40S&W... No, no, I didn't buy it, I just held it... It was horrible!!! It felt like I was holding a dead fish. Only this fish is completely straight with no grooves, and had a so-called textured feel that looked and felt like somebody got trigger happy with a sawz-all and went...

    Ackley Improved???

    What's the difference between a normal round and an A.I. version. I've heard the term a lot, but never understood what it was really all about... What gives??

    Browning BLR???

    I'm looking around trying to find another rifle. I've had my trusty Browning BAR Safari MkII in .30/06 for many years now, but I'm looking for something with a little more 'umph', most likely a .300 Win Mag. I want to be able to load up some hot loads for bear hunting, but I'm a little curious...

    Aftermarket Barrel for EAA Witness?

    My hunting buddy and neighbor recently bought an EAA Tanfoglio Witness in 10mm Auto. I have a G20SF so I handload our plinking rounds. The spent casings from his Witness always seem to have the much dreaded "Glock bulge" about 1/3 of the way up from the head. He wants to get an aftermarket...

    Benelli Nova??? Suggestions???

    A friend of mine is offering me first dibs on his LNIB Benelli Nova 12ga. with camo everything. Comes with three chokes I believe (full, imp cyl, and mod). He says he hasn't fired but about 10 rounds through it, looks to be in great shape, looks brand spankin new. We're planning to go shoot some...

    IWB Kydex or Leather

    I'm trying to decide on a lefty IWB holster for my G22, and a righty IWB holster for my S&W 642CT. I currently use Blackhawk CQC SERPA holsters for my G20SF and G22, but as summer is approaching, I'm looking for something more easily concealed. I like the look of Blackhawk's IWB leather...

    Remington R25 - 7mm-08???

    I'm looking for another rifle. (Who isn't?) I've had my Browning BAR MKII Safari in .30/06 Spfd for many many years now. It will take down everything I need it to (deer, caribou, elk, sheep, bear). But I'm looking for something lighter and longer range for the purposes of fox, coyote, wolf, deer...

    Carry Light that won't break the bank?

    I need another flashlight as I am tired of replacing the holster for my 'almost too big to carry' Smith & Wesson LED light. The nylon holster keeps coming apart at the seams and I just keep replacing it once every 6 weeks or so. Tired of doing this. I want one that is really bright (85+ lumens)...

    Grips for Glock?

    I know this may sound like a dumb question... Is there a way (short of taking it to a custom smithy) to alter the grips of a Glock? To make it more 'grippy' for a lack of a better word. I'm up here in AK and I've found that as both my hands and the polymer grip get colder when the temp drops...

    Newbie... Need Help...

    I've been snooping around the forums here for quite a while, finally decided I needed to join... I've been shooting all my life and I'm looking at getting into reloading, but I've never had anything to do with it before and I'm kinda nervous about it. It's a considerable amount of money to...
