    45 super?

    Just ordered a 45acp barrel for my Contender and plan to run some 45 super loads in it for giggles. I know it's not an auto but I figure if I'm looking for experience I'm more likely to find it here. Is anyone loading for this? Data is scarce and I'd like to have some ammo waiting when the...

    Educate me on the M855

    First off, before you get crazy I'm against any ban of any ammo, or firearm, or accessory for that matter. But as I don't buy loaded ammo I'm not familiar with this M855 stuff. Seems that some folks are acting like this is the death of shooting the 5.56. Was this stuff so popular because it was...

    I'm getting choked

    Finally bit the bullet and sent my Citori's barrel to Carlson's to have it fitted for choke tubes. I had been on the look out for a gun with tubes already to trade but everything now seems to have 30+" barrels and I'm kinda fond of my stubby 26" tubes. Not to mention the coin I was going to have...

    To Tube or not to Tube?

    Okay, so after 30 years of shooting a SXS I have finally started to use an O/U as my goto gun. I have this cherry little Citori, 28" barrels fixed Mod over IC. It swings the way I want and I actually like it. But I would like to be able to throw some skeet tubes in it and now there are many...

    9mm plinker pistol?

    I've been holding onto 500 rounds of reloaded 9mm with the thought of having a Contender barrel built but now I'm wondering about getting a pistol just for range plinking. 25yrds for the most part with the occasional Hail Mary 50yrd shot. I must admit my experience with 9mm pistols is scant...

    How do you use double triggers?

    I only ask because I got into a conversation with a couple of fellows at a gunshop about it. We were looking at a sexy little Spanish .410 SXS and one of them said he would buy it but his fingers were too big to get two fingers into the trigger guard to use both triggers. The shop owner agreed...

    Modifying a DW for moonclips?

    Does anyone know of someone doing a modification to the Dan Wesson 15 so you can use moonclips?

    Wobble skeet, yes please.

    Shot my first rounds of wobble skeet today. Managed an 18 and a 20. I may never go back to eating regular skeets again.

    Dan Wessons Rock

    Got the mount put on a while back and now I'm searching for a load. My cast loads are doing about 3 inches at 25yrds so I still need to tighten those up. But just for giggles I loaded 5 with some 140gr Hornady plastic tips I had and a good dose of Unique. I have high hopes.

    Ok, I'm a believer

    Starting to like this little Citori. Managed to shoot a 22 and 20 the other day. New recoil pad made the 1 oz estate loads ***** cats. I like how it swings. Would be nice to have a little more open chokes but we'll live. Still shoot better with my "pig on a shovel" 311, shot a 23 with my 3/4oz...

    Need a bead (or two) for my Citori

    The front bead on my citori has been over tweaked so that it's a little off kilter when tightened to the barrel. My OCD is driving me crazy over this. What I would like is a simple white bead but all I can find are the Bradly type. I'm looking for a simple bead and maybe another smaller white...

    First day out with the Citori

    Really putting the effort into liking this gun, I must learn to shoot an O/U like the rest of the civilized folks. First off, I do like the way it snuggles into my shoulder. I know the short stuff is out of favor but those 26" barrels end just where I'm used to them ending so that was a no...

    What should I look at?

    I've come into a bit of coin and have decided to spend a bit of it on a shotgun that you guys won't make fun of everytime I mention it. Right now I shoot probably 90% skeet and the rest split between trap and 5 stand. I really like the 20 but the 12 would be alot more useful in trap. I might...

    Need opinions on compact DA 45's

    Giving some thought to picking one up for occasional carry. Only real requirements are being 45 (of course) and DA or DAO. Double stack mags wouldn't be too bad either but one mustn't get too greedy. So what's out there? what works, what doesn't?

    Is the 12ga neccessary for trap?

    I was giving some thought to putting together a dedicated trap gun. I use a 12 for skeet but I use really reduced loads. Seems like in trap a faster, larger payload would be adventagous and I guess I could always figure in some kind of recoil reducing system but it sure would be easier to stick...

    Which mini .380?

    I've just almost talked myself into buying one of these for walks to the lake. My LGS has all three flavors, Kel-tec, Taurus and Ruger, both new and used and the price between the 3 isn't but about 50 bucks. I'm kinda leaning torward the KT becasue I used to have one of the P-32's and liked it...

    Wow, this thing will shoot

    Finally got a chance to take the tracker to the range for some bench testing. Here's a 25yrd 5 shot group with CCI subsonic HP's. I took the red dot off so I can work on shooting unsupported with irons. I may never see a group like that again out of this gun...

    Yes, women can handle recoil

    Some can anyway. Here's a pic I captured of my wife shooting her 357 snubby that she likes to tote around. Granted, she only shot 50 (it was all I had). Total recoil junkie, the only pistol of mine she's ever backed away from was my 444 marlin Contender and that was because of the loudness of...

    Repairing the ithica o/u

    I've just almost talked myself into buying one of these but I wonder how easy it would be to pick up parts if I needed them (this coming from a guy who shoots 311's:rolleyes:)

    EAA Sabbatti?

    Wandering around the Dallas gunshow today I ran across one of these, used marked at $300. Fit and finish was much improved over any cheap O/U I've seen. I knew that EAA was in bed with some soviet SG's but this was the first Italian I had seen. Anyone know how they stack up against the other...
