    P320 Compact Xchange kit with night sights.......Range report/pics

    Received a P320 Compact Xchange kit with night sights in 40s&w from the Sig Pro Shop. With a flawless performance from my P320 Subcompact in 9mm, I had to get a larger caliber for the Compact size gun. IMO, the Compact is the perfect do--it -all size. The Xchange kit came in its own Sig...

    P320 Subcompact 9mm range results and ammo selections. Pictorial review.

    I spent all morning at my range shooting the crap out of my new P320 9mm subcompact. Since this is a polymer gun and robustness is a priority, I approached the first range trip to purposely see if I could sabotage it. I didnt clean it as I typically would so it went right out of the box dry...

    My top 8 CCW handguns (video)

    I finally put my top 8 CCW Handguns on a video. These were my favorite 8 out of my 27 handgun collection. They range in size from micro to full size. No script, nothing fancy just how I picked these 8 and why I though they were a standout for what they do. Sit back, have a beer and lets...

    I need to add a feather/fly weight (5.5 lbs) rifle to my collection. A gun I will use where my high dollar rifles will not go. I first thought Kimber Montana or Assent but the price is a bit steep for a beater gun. The Savage Light weight hunter is a honest 5.5lbs gun in 308 and seems to...

    223 with Barnes TSX 55gr works great for deer.

    Had a extra doe tag to fill so I took my 223 loaded with factory Barnes TSX 55grain hunting today. My Savage 223 is my predator rifle but can be pushed into action for deer size game with the right bullets. A nice large doe at 130yards fell quickly to a broad side shot. Took out top of the...

    Any reason to use anything bigger than a 243 for deer?

    This isnt a trick question but rather a reality check ......I tend to get asked these questions alot lately. Guy I know wants to buy his son a new rifle for whitetail hunting and asked me what caliber to get. I use to recommend a larger caliber but to be honest, I cant see why the 243 isnt...

    Has the rules of what scope is enough been changed?????

    I am wondering with the advancements in optics have the rules changed for a general big game scope??? I have always been from the mind set that quality is always better than max magnification. Now that the big optic companies have 6x magnification ability, we can now have a very high quality...
