    New grips, new leather

    I finally switched out to slim grips (Chip McC brand I picked up on a forum). I must say, they almost feel too thin. But we'll see how it goes. As for bushings, the bushing drivers were useless on staked bushings as they just torn them to shreds. Bushing metal is just too soft to stand up to...

    NavyFed Ft. Worth - 'No guns' posted

    Not sure if anyone else uses Navy Fed out in Ft Worth but there is an illegal 'no guns' sign on the door. Since we were going in for an appointment we decided to leave our heat in the truck and address this later. At any rate, I'm conflicted. I was joking with my husband. On one hand concealed...

    Ruger Mini-14 6.8SPC

    I'm entertaining the idea of picking one of these up to do some deer hunting. Anyone have a chance to shoot one of these in the 6.8SPC? I know the .223 have a great reputation, but no steady word on these yet. I realize ammo cost will be higher than a more common round. What about accuracy...

    Why so many Sig P6 on the market?

    Forgive the question if its been done to death. I'm interested in the 225 so I halfway look around at the compact 9mm. I read there was an influx of P6s on the market for pretty darn cheap from overseas. Now I see them everywhere for sale. Are folks trying to get a little flip-this-gun...

    Defending 3rd party against stranger vs known person

    This question came to me today for a recent reason or two. Do you think a person would be more or less inclined to physically defend a 3rd party victim from an attacker who is either family or friend? For example, you arrive at a family member's home only to walk in on an altercation...

    Lighter .45acp load than 230gr?

    Dad and I have both picked up new .45s (Springfield Stainless GI -his and a Colt Combat Commander -mine). I've always shot 230gr from the 5" and the Oacp and have been cluelessly satisfied with the gun's handling. But the time's come to try out different loads and educate myself. The...

    Back in the saddle - sorta

    Hey folks, a few months ago I posted that my parents had been burglarized and a lot of good stuff taken. Some news to report on that, both the .22s have been recovered in separate traffic stops. We should get both back after the trial and investigation is all done with for the perps in...
