Hi Guys, I don't have many selections in 180 grain 30-06 ammo where I live. I have located these two and was wondering if one of them is a clear winner for elk? 180 Remington Core Lokt Ultra bonded 180 Swift A Frame Thanks a lot. Dave

Shucks, I need a new rifle. I thought my .270 would be all I would ever need and never planned on hunting anything larger than axis deer. Photo from a recent hunt on Molokai, Hawaii. Looks like I'll be going on a elk hunting trip later this year in Northeastern New Mexico. This is what...

Hi All, I own a W. German Sig P226 and HK P7M8. Both are factory stock and I've shot them a lot. There are thousands of threads on the net about how accurate this or that stock combat gun is. But, what kind of accuracy are people talking about? I can't shoot these guns with factory combat...

Hi Guys, I'm interested in one of these and have a few questions. 1. Does it have the same ergonomics as the P226? I have an W German 226 and it fits my hand well. 2. Can you get 10 round magazines for the X-5. I live in Hawaii...10 round max. 3. I don't shoot my old 226 any more because...

Hi guys, I handled a nice used BAR today at a gun shop and I liked the looks of it and the way it felt. I flipped the rear sight up and down but forgot to look to see how you adjust them for windage / elevation. Are they adjustable? Has the quality remained good throughout production of the...

Hi, Wow, I'm so stoked. I went on my first deer hunt in Molokai this weekend. What beautiful country. I'm hooked. I borrowed my friends Ruger M77 30.6 and it worked fine. I asked the guide about which caliber to get and he suggested the following. 30.6 .270 .308 7mm Mag I'm new to...

I guess I'm old school, not by choice...just getting older. All my handguns have iron sights. I see a lot of handguns on the net sporting red dot scopes. I haven't given it much thought but now I'm wondering if I'm missing out? The type of shooting I do is at the range, plinking, etc. I...

Hi Guys, I have a few hundred rounds of some old 38 special (1999/2000) ammo that I'd like to run through my 686. I've heard about "leading" of the barrel. But, not sure what causes that. Is this cheap White Box ammo going to create any issues for my 686? What is a good / not too expensive...

Hi Guys, I'm curious why the red ramp does not go all the way up the front sight. It stops about 1 mm or so below the top of the site causing me to shoot high. In other words, with my old eyes and a black target (no contrast) it's hard to line up the black top of the front sight with the...

Hi Guys, Sorry for the second thread on this. I need to get some replacement grips for my 686 / 6" barrel by the end of the week. The local retailers don't stock anything. The original rubber Hogues are too small and never felt right. It's the only gun I've had that felt too small. My...

Hi Guys, It's been a long time. I want to get some new grips for my 686 Plus with 6" barrel. The original Hogue rubber grips feel too small for my XL hands. I will be shooting with a 2 hand grip. To keep things simple I've settled on Ahrends round to square conversion. Which model would...

Aloha, I'm going on a trip in a month and want to spend some of the time shooting. I have a 9 mm handgun in Hawaii that I want to mail to my mom's house in Louisiana. After the vacation I will need to mail it back to myself from LA to HI. Can I just Fed Ex it to myself? Or do I need to go...

Hi, I have a HK P7M8 that I bought new about 6 years ago. I love the gun and I'm considering purchasing another. Is there any difference in quality between the older ones like mine and the newest ones being produced? I saw a photo of a new one and it had something stamped on the slide that...

Aloha, Many moons ago when I was into guns I picked up a 6 inch 686. I never warmed up to it since the grips were too small for my hands. I'd like to give it another shot before before I decide to sell it. Can someone point me to some larger rubber grips that I can order online? Thanks in...

Hi Guys, I've been away for a few years and have new hobbies. Anyway, to fund other toys I'm considering selling my Sig 226 that I purchased new back in 1991 or 1992. I'm curious to know what kind of money it would be worth. It's in excellent condition and I probably put 1000 rounds through...

Looking for a good range that rents in either place. Have a little free time. Also, looking for ideas for eats and must see / do. Don't know if I'll have a chance to get to these places again. Thanks, Dave

Hi folks, Is there a problem with the factory 10 round mags for the 226. The one I had has a plastic base that goes from where bullet 11 through 15 would sit. I never had this happen with the old mags. I racked the slide and a bullet did not go into the chamber. Tried this three times...

Hi Guys, Help me out here. I'll be in Santa Fe and Albuquerque for a few days in March. I might have a few free hours to spend in both Santa Fe and Albuquerque. I might like to rent a few guns at a range or at least check out a large selection of guns and toys. Any suggestions on the best...

Hi, For the last few months I've only shot a HK P7M8. Today I brought my Sig P226 to the range and had trouble adjusting to the grip. I'm right handed and found that my right thumb was riding high and in contact with the slide release. So, after the last round the slide would not remain open...

Hi, I saw a pic of this gun in the NRA American Guardian (2/2000). I'm I correct in thinking that it's similar to the Glock set up? Has anyone heard anything about this gun? Wonder when it will be available? Thanks, Dave
