There was a thread about Nighthawk 1911s and their value relative to price. I mentioned in that thread that there is a difference between semi-custom and custom guns. This is a true custom gun. I just received it. It is built on a forged frame MKIII. I went with is Signature Grade I package...

https://www.backwoodshome.com/blogs/MassadAyoob/layers-of-firearms-safety-a-teachable-moment/ So it was a "cold range"? I don't understand how the gun could be declared cold by students and range officers and there still be a loaded gun on the range.

So most of the time I just lurk in this area but lately a few topics have prompted me to post in here. I am a big fan of firearms training. I think that it is the best way to develop proper skills and to maintain them. I have taken a few courses over the years but not as many as I wish I had...

In a real world self defense situation your split times and your lightening speed draw are not what are going to win the day. You must be proficient, reasonably fast shooter and reasonably fast on the draw but your decision making and decision process is what is going to win the day. Those are...

So I just got back from the range. The gun shot well. It was smooth and accurate. I shot a total of about 300 rounds through it. I ran 50 rounds down the pipe and then stripped it down and re-lubed it. I shot another 100 rounds or so and repeated. The gun is not as tight as say a Les Baer but...

I am looking to get a plate carrier. It is for the workplace. Plan would be to have it hanging in my office and if needed would put it on and exit the building. In my work environment I might be called on to respond to an incident so a plate carrier would at least give me some protection. There...

The thread about custom vs stock concealed carry handguns got me thinking about a few stock Glocks I have sitting in the deep recesses of the safe. Most of the time I get a Glock 19 or 17 shoot it for a while realize I like other platforms better and sell it. This time around I have a few that...

So I am looking to put together a few get home bags, one for me and one for the wife. I carry 99% of the time but the wife can't all the time due to work. So I am looking for a pistol to have in the bag which will be properly secured. I do not want to put a lot into these guns because they...

The wife is looking at adding a pocket carry gun. She is looking for a LCP sized gun. It will be a dedicated pocket gun for carry when she cannot carry on the belt. Here are the contenders. Ruger LCP: I have the LCP and she has shot it and it would work but as most of us who own a LCP know its...

I picked up this gun off of GB. It is a 1990 forged frame MKIII. It was dirty, had rusted grips screw which were replaced at the same time I replaced the factory plastic with Navidrex slim grips. I am going to be using it as a base gun for a custom build so I am not worried about the slight...

https://www.sigsauer.com/support/p320-voluntary-upgrade-program/ Link is live and active. Looks like Sig will be paying shipping both ways. Once you submit they will send you a email with a prepaid label at a later date. No one knows when. Once it is in Sigs hands it is supposed to be a 4-6...

Since the BHP has been discontinued by FN and Browning will not be brining in any more into the country I thought it might be interesting to see what BHPs people already own instead of just lamenting the end of their production. I will start. Garthwaite Custom MKIII C Series Custom from...

So I was talking about starting to shoot sporting clays. I am more of a pistol and AR15 guy but there is a new sporting clays range in the area. So my wife bought this for me for my birthday! It is a Beretta Silver Pigeon I O/U. So I now need to pickup a case or 2 of shells. It is a 12 guage...

http://aliastraining.com/about-us.aspx Looks like Alias closed as of July 11, 2016. I considered many times registering for classes through their site but reading up on the events of the past 6 months there I am glad I did not. It is crazy since they worked with some of the biggest names in...

I am not trying to comment on what happened prior to the video which has been posted after Philando Castile was shot by an officer in Minn but watching the video to my eyes the officer still has his finger on the trigger inside the trigger guard covering an incapacitated Castile and the woman in...

So my MKIII custom job has returned from Mr Garthwaite's shop and am pleased at this point. The fit and the finish is amazing. The slide is smooth as silk. It glides. The gun had a complete trigger job using Garthwaite Tool Steel Commander undercut hammer, hard sear, and Garthwaite straight...
