I'm looking for a particular variety of commercially-made steel target. It looks like an upper torso and head in shape, is approximately life-size or a bit smaller, and has a large circular hole in the center of the "chest", about 8" in diameter, behind which hole is hung a steel plate, such...

Does anybody know a source for information on changing the crossbolt safety on the trigger housing of the Benelli M1 or NOVA from right-handed to left-handed? (Normally, the safety button pushes from right to left for "fire" and from left to right for "safe". I want to change it to push from...

Had a chance to shoot my new Kahr PM9 briefly last week for the first time. I got it with factory-installed Meprolight Tru Dot night sights. As usual, the Federal 9BP 115gr JHP (standard pressure) was the most accurate and precise of all loads tested. In 300 rounds, there were no failures to...

Just a heads-up for those interested in this gun. I just picked up my new Kahr PM9 with Meprolight night sights at Sportsman's Warehouse (off 70th South in SLC). This is the first place and time I've seen this gun in Utah. They have three left with standard sights @ $489 each and two more...

Tried a search on this with no success, so I expect it hasn't come up before. I have a new Benelli Nova "special purpose" miodel with rifle sights. It's handy, lightweight and well made. Benelli's website mentions that their shotgun safeties are "reversible for left-handed use", but I can't...

I have an 18" barrel, 8-shot mag Mossberg 500 occupying the place of a HD shotgun, to which I'd like to mount a tactical light. I'd appreciate any experiences TFL members have with these. My preference is NOT to use the forend-mounted type (which requires replacing the existing forend, and...

I took my first airline jaunt since 9/11 over this past weekend, between SLC and Chicago, carrying my Canemasters "custom combat cane" with me. I'd brought along "documentation of need", by way of some X-Rays (broken foot, etc.) in anticipation of being possibly questioned, but although I was...

For those interested, Dennis Tueller will be on the radio today ("Utah Outdoors with Roger B.", KALL Radio 910 AM, on at 3-5 PM). He will also be hosting a free presentation on "Responsible Gun Ownership" at the PMAA Range this week on Thursday 11/15 at 7PM, in view of the recent increase in...

I just came back from a weekend half-day training session with Lt. Dennis Tueller (ret), who is now offering half day scheduled courses at the FARM in Lehi, on several upcoming Saturdays. I've had opportunity of training under him before, and it's ALWAYS worthwhile. Most folks at TFL are...

I've carried OC (Fox 1/2 oz. unit) for a couple years, believing as I do in having a continuum of force available for response to "unpleasant (read felonious) interpersonal experiences". Trouble is, there's no easy way to carry the stuff. Key chain units bulge your pockets, and can accidentaly...

Where & how, exactly, does one get out into the fabled "West Desert", where it's legal to shoot outdoors without a formal range? I've lived in UT for 10 years now, and been out in that area designated on the map as "West Desert" many times, eg, around Utah Lake, The F.A.R.M. and various parts...

I posted this earlier today, but it got lost in the crash... I recently got an M96. I really like the design and the modularity. Please share your experience and opinions or ideas about: Which loads work the best (best precision and accuracy) Which loads to avoid (any trouble with...

I'm considering purchasing a bore sighter in order to get "on paper" quickly when sighting in scopes at 100 yards. Brownells offers several types (near lens grid, mirror, laser) and brands, and I have no experience with any of 'em. I'd be using it for .223 and .308 caliber rifles with 2-10X...

Any left-handers out there with standard (not DPMS left-handed receivers) AR-15s/Stoner-pattern rifles? How well does the brass deflector work for left-handed shooting? If I can shoot a standard (right-sided brass ejection) AR-15, I can get a particular model I'd like, made by Bushmaster...

Lots of "sporting" and hunting rifles can be had in left-handed versions, but does anybody know of any military rifles (in either 5.56 or 7.62mm) other than the Steyr AUG, which have a left-handed version available, or a convertible bolt? Addresses, phone numbers, URLs all helpful if known...
