I have used Goex fffg in my black powder revolvers but would like to use Hodgdon Triple 7. I use flasks with volumetric spouts that deliver a designated weight in grains of powder. I know that Triple 7 weighs less but is more energetic. I also know that grains are weight but since the spouts are...

This isn’t an attack but just a reasonable question? I’ve been a long time supporter of the NRA. It’s almost like they have lost their voice. Maybe and I hope they are working on our behalf by talking directly with our conservative and Republican legislators to stop this gun control insanity. I...

I lived in Florida until a recent move to Georgia. I had a CCP in Florida and here as well. I went to buy a new gun and a Hold was put on the transaction by those good ole NICS folks for seven days. When I lived in Florida there was a customer service number you can call and they would typically...

I just got a Ruger LC9S for my wife and took it to the range for some testing and run in. My wife wanted a pistol that was relatively easy to rack, she tried one of these out and liked it so I got her one with the new Viridian Automatic Laser. The price was about $399 including the pistol, one...

I purchased the pistol new and out of the box it started having jams. Some double feeds with the spent cartridge on top of the next unfired round, some stovepipes, some failure to load the next round from the magazine, etc. When I would remove the mag both would fall free out of the bottom of...

I've had a hankering for a 1911 in 9mm for a while so I just picked up a new RO. When I got it home I stripped it and gave it a good inspection and cleaning. I was impressed with how well the frame and slide were machined. There were minimal and I mean very minimal machining marks. the surfaces...

I live in Florida and have a current CCWP. I plan on moving to Georgia and plan on getting a CCWP there. Once I move and change my residence to Georgia will my CCWP for Florida still be in force or no longer any good? Does having a Florida CCWP help in getting the Georgia CCWP...

I just picked up my new Marlin 1895 Cowboy with the 26" barrel. Vey nice and well made. It may not have the attention to detail the older Marlins have but the machining and fitting is well done, just not to the degree of the older guns. The wood fits tight but is not a nicely rounded where it...

I hate to start off this way but I don't want this to be a Remington bashing thread, But ... here it goes ... I just got a Remington E1 Enhanced 9mm and it is plagued with Failures to Feed. One or two rounds a magazine the shell extracts but does not totally eject. The slide catches it and the...

I saw this and thought it relevant; The anti-gun lobbyist try to convince the public that it's guns that kill people instead of the truth which is people kill people. Now they are applying the same logic to cars. Just an interesting dynamic when people can so easily be convinced a misleading...

I see several people post issues with the plastic Striker Guide in the SA XDS pistols. When I clean mine I always wonder why they made it out of plastic. I sue my XDS 45 as my EDC so want the highest reliability. Although mine hasn't broken I would like a stronger part there. Does anyone know of...

I have a vintage Star Model Super B and some original magazines for it. The problem is that I have a problem with rounds nose diving in the magazine which results in Failure-To-Feed as the rounds are catching on the feed ramp. On other magazines I have cut one half a turn off the bottom of the...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I acquired a Commander sized Stainless version and thought I would provide some initial impressions and seek some input from others. The fit is excellent. With the slide racked back and locked back there is only a...

I have several .22 cal pistols and rifles. My Ruger Mark I, II, and IIIs typically eat anything I feed them EXCEPT for these Remington Golden JHP Bullets. I built me a new Mark III custom and took it to the range and it wouldn't fire a magazine without FTF issues. So I tried four other magazines...

I have a Lee Pro 1000 Progressive press I have set up for reloading 45 ACP. I have a Lee Powder measure with an Adjustable Charge Bar. I am using Bullseye powder. The press works fine most of the time but sometimes it seems like the powder gets jammed in the drop tube and no or very little...
