I don't shoot CAS but I do own a mule and got the hots to build a "Wild Bunch" period 1911. I started with a Federal Ordinance frame from the 1980's stored away and never built. I know, cheap frame. Had some parts like a Colt barrel, grip safety, thumb safety, pachmayr flat MSH and trigger...

Looking for replacement sights for a series 70 government slide. It had a Bomar rib and target sights and the screws sheared off, so now I am just going to replace that with standard iron sights. The front is a narrow tenon, I know that. So the rear must be the smaller GI dovetail? I find...

If you go to the Kahr website, they list the 10 round magazine for their 9mm line of pistols. But it says that it is preorder, and I emailed to find out when they would be available, but no reply back. On "fleabay" I found a dealer carrying them? Huh, so I took a chance on getting one...

This resulted from a trade with a good friend of mine that has a home auto repair business. Work on my old GMC pickup for a set of grips and a holster for his Browning Hi Power. Mostly he just wanted something I made. Holster was for field carry on his ATV, so we decided on OWB with a...

Since everyone is doing the best of, this is my favorite woods pistol. Ruger Service Six in .357 magnum. I've been working in the woods today, carrying this in a Hill People Gear Snubby chest pack, and it is extrememly comfortale cutting and splitting logs this morning. Pretty much stock except...

There is a lot of controversy about how much recoil, flash and loss of power in shooting .357 magnum out of a short snub nose revolver. As posted earlier in another thread, I chrongraphed the Buffalobore .357 180 grain outdoorsman at 1289 fps out of my Kimber K6. I did video tape it in order...

Got a chance to chronograph some of the .357 Buffalobore outdoorsman out of my Kimber K6, the 2" model. 1280 average for around 650 ME ft. lbs with the 180 grain HC. Stout and loud, but very manageable although I only shot five rounds for the testing. Too expensive to shoot the whole day...

My brother loaded some with power pistol powder. The 230 grain chronoed at around 1080, and so did the 200 grain. So not max loads. Works out to around 590 me ft. lbs. Almost like .357 magnum territory. I was shooting out of my converted glock 21c with a Stormlake fully support...

1. Only the magazine in the pistol 2. One extra magazine 3. More than one extra magazine (I should have allowed multiple choices as for many people it vary on the situation and day to day, but guess at your regular habit)

Say you own a .38 special revolver, but want some .357 power out of it. Say, something like the old 38/44 loads. Here are some chronographed specs. I used my LCR .357 magnum for all three loads: Armscor .357 mag 158 grain FMJ.........................966-986 fps Magtech .357 158 grain...

I know the kahr p380 is .75 inches thick. Any thinner? Rear pocket carry intended.

I received my Magguts kits today and installed them. One for the 6 round bumping to 7 and one for the 7 round bumping it to 8 rounds. Took them down to the field with some magtec FMJ range ammo and all went off flawlessly including locking back on empty. Of course will do much more testing to...

This design is based on one I made for my Kimber K6, and liked it so much that I decided to try and make one for my semi auto Sig P230. Love this gun! The holster is designed for AIWB with a forward muzzle cant for easier draw and so that the grip is level with the belt line for more...

I just ordered a set yesterday and will do a review when I get them, but I called Hogue today and confirmed that they do wrap around the backstrap. Exactly what I and many other shooters have been waiting for! These will be great for those super hot woods loads I carry. Here's a stock photo...

I work in leather and have done a little with kydex, but never officially a holster I'm going to wear, so this is my first attempt, with no press. Only a heat gun and some plywood forms and clamps. This is based on a design that nice member made for my 3" LCRX and I liked it so much I decided to...

Today I got down the process for modifying rubber grips. I used a disk sander with 80 grit coarse to shape, and then followed up with 100 grit to take off the melted rubber, and then coarse hand sanded to get smooth. Also found that a sanding drum works better than disk for getting all...

I was down visiting my son and family for Christmas. He's a tech wiz, and just got an affordable 3D printer and made his mom some 3D printed rabbits for her gift. So he wanted to show me how it works and suggested we come up with a simple project to make. So I pulled my Kahr PM9 out of my...

Did a couple of tests with the BB Outdoorsman .45 acp +P in my Kahr P45 and my Glock 21C with a stormlake barrel. 255 grain flatnose keith hardcast Glock got consistent 921 fps for 480 foot pounds ME Kahr p45 got only 892, 907 and 850 for around 435 foot pounds ME Glock ate them up, but the...

The scale I used before was an RCBS but gave it back to my brother and now I am reloading again and using a Redding Model #2 scale. It's al older 325 grain model with the oil resevoir and two counterpoise system. Brown crinkle finish. Screw adjustment level and nuts for adjusting zero. Loading...

Shooting out a Kahr P45 with a Lothar Walther match barrel. I noticed after shooting new factory brass, that each casing has a blackish scorch mark on one side of the brass. Just curious what is causing that? What's you opinion? Functions perfectly, and accurate. But cursious when in the...
