    Hornady TAP .45 Ammo

    A little impromptu range report concerning the 230gr+p ammo: Firstly, this was my first time firing any sort of +p ammo in .45. The results, when coming out of one of my Witness Carry-Comps was, well, impressive. The recoil, muzzle flash and overpressure took me off-guard. It was so much more...

    New (to me) Witness Carry-Comp

    Just picked it up yesterday and love it. It's my second of the type and it's just as accurate as my previous example with a few exceptions: 1) Forward Cocking Serrations 2) (as seen in the attached photos) the compensator isn't contoured like my first one. 3) Left-handed thumb safety only. It...

    Will $350 get me a decent Model 19 or 66?

    Like the title says: Will $350 get me a decent Model 19 or 66 with a 2.5 barrel(really liking the blue though :D)? I know region and market demand has an effect on prices (Im in the Jacksonville, FL area and those idiots at S&W discontinued the K-Frame .357). There doesnt seem to be any in...

    New (to me) SW 4506 (LONG!)

    WOW! That was my first reaction to the first group I shot at 15yds as it wheeled back to my lil cubby hole they call a firing lane (barely big enough to get a proper stance:rolleyes: ). The 5 shots were all nearly touching but low. Really low (about 4 inches in fact). My fellow Marine and...
