I shoot an even mix of .22 LR, .45 ACP, and 9mm, about 800 total rounds each month. I was lucky enough to stock up on .22 back in November, so I've got an 8 month supply of that. I've got more than 1K each bullets for .45 and 9mm, and Berry's doesn't seem to have any problem taking new orders...

Hi Guys, I've got all of my equipment and my bullets arrived from Berry's, so once I've got my cases prepped I'll be loading my first rounds this weekend. Before I do, I was hoping to get your reactions to my load data. I found this data online, apparently it's older Midway load data for...

Hi All, I got into shooting centerfire this year (9mm, .45 ACP) and my wife agreed that if I stuck with the hobby (she knows me well), I could delve into reloading. After quite a bit of research, I made my purchases over the long weekend. I bought all the equipment I think I need along with...

Last year I bought a S&W 15-22 rifle. I bought targets, ammo (I put several thousand rounds through it, mostly cheap Federal bulk), range time, and quite a few accessories (the typical tacti-cool AR stuff). In total, I spent about $1,350 in 2011 on guns and shooting, or about $110 a month. So...

In December of last year, I decided I wanted a handgun. As a youngster, I’d fired thousands upon thousands of BBs and pellets and pored over my Shooter’s Bible making plans for my future collection. For one reason or another, that collection never materialized. I guess that explains why when...

Hi All, After some debate about whether my Beretta 92A1 was more suitable as a nightstand gun than my Sig 1911, I decided to make some modifications to the 92A1. New mods: - VZ Grips Golf Ball in Predator Green - Trijicon Bright & Tough Night Sights Previous Mods: - D Hammer Spring - Beretta...

Hi All, I recently purchased a set of Trijicon BE12 Night Sights (front and rear) for my 92A1. I was prepared to have a smith at the LGS do the work for me, but talking to them on the phone didn't give me a lot of confidence, plus they said at least $40 and 2 weeks would be required to complete...

The 92A1 was my first handgun, purchased for range/nightstand duty. I recently followed up with a Sig 1911 Extreme, and I'm contemplating making that my nightstand gun, which would require me to purchase and test some .45 SD ammo. 92A1 - 9mm - 17 rounds (+1) - "D" Hammer Spring (reduces the...

Hi everyone, On January 1st there were no handguns in my household. Now we have three! I'm extremely pleased with all of them. The newest member is the Sig 1911 Extreme, which I picked up yesterday and put 100 flawless rounds through. The others are a 92A1, which I've tweaked with D hammer...

Hi All, Last month I picked up a Beretta 92A1. I've had it to the range a few times now and I'm getting the hang of it. I had three shots in a less than 2-inch group in the bulls-eye at 25 yards today! (Let's not talk about where the rest of the shots went). For Valentines day, I bought my...

My wife can operate my new Beretta 92A1 but the gun is definitely too big for her small hands to hold comfortably. We're putting together a shopping list of guns for her to check out and I wondered if there are specific suggestions of models for her to consider/try? Here are her criteria: -...

I finally got my new Beretta 92A1 (my first handgun) to the nearby indoor range for an hour recently and had a great time! I tried several types of ammo without any issues at all and fired around 175 rounds total. I probably could have done a bit more, but reloading the 3 17-round magazines...

Back in November I read an article which made me realize that my wife and I need to be more prepared to protect ourselves and our new twin babies. My wife is young and pretty, which makes me worry about about her becoming the target of violence. I had an instance not long before I read that...

Hi All, I've been lurking for a while but I decided to register now that I've got a handgun on the way. Last spring, I was buying my first gun and had a hard time choosing between a .22LR handgun, 9mm handgun, or .22LR rifle. I ended up going with a S&W 15-22 rifle, which I've put several...
