    I shot with Superman

    I shot a couple of rounds of skeet with Superman yesterday. Really, the guy was wearing a Superman shirt and shooting a Maverick over under and guess what! He shot pretty damn well, even wearing goofy looking glasses.

    Shooting Vest

    I hope this is the right place to ask. I can't get away to try them on, but I need to tell my family what size of a shooting vest to get me for Father's Day. Is there a rule of thumb? I would take a medium polo shirt if not for the belly.

    Tubing a 12 Gauge

    I doubt that I will ever do it, but I am trying to understand tubing an over under. Meaning full length tubes and not choke tubes or chamber mates, there are two basic ways to go: 1. Tube your twelve gauge with 20, 28, and .401 tubes and use it to shoot all four gauges. If you do, the gun...

    Varifocal Prescription Glasses

    I have been learning to shoot wearing my street glasses, which have varifocal lenses, with both eyes open as I do shooting trap and skeet. I am not sure, but it seems that I focus much better on the front sight if I tilt my head up a bit so I am looking through a lower part of the lenses...

    Securing Firearms from Depressed Family Member

    We will be caring for a fairly seriously depressed adult family relation in our home for the forseeable future and I am concerned that they may harm themselves if I continue to keep an unsecured night stand gun and a 12 gauge pump in my bedroom. I am not concerned about state laws but the...

    Why isn't the SIG P938 California Compliant?

    Why is the Sig P938 not California Compliant, but one version of the nearly identical P238 is on the California Roster? As near as I can see, the only difference is that the 938 is 9mm luger and the 238 is .380 (luger short). This is really confusing, since the Sig Web doesn't list any p238 as...

    Recommend inexpensive 9 mm range ammo

    Please recommend some inexpensive 9 mm luger 115 gr fmj range ammo for a non-reloader. Since the brass belongs to the range if it hits the floor, is there any reason not to use steel case and/or remanufactured ammo? I want to stay away from cheap ammo if it is more likely to be unsafe for...

    Apologies

    If I came across condescendingly in a recently closed thread, I apologize. I meant to use sarcasm to make a point, but never wished to ridicule anyone for having a limited budget or favoring defense/tactical shotguns. Likewise, it is no more than a reverse form of prejudice to hold my...

    Flying with firearm to protect luggage

    To me this is a novel idea. If you wish to reduce the likelihood that your checked luggage will be lost or stolen, include a firearm in it. You will have to declare the inclusion of the firearm and track both TSA and airline rules, but that piece of luggage will now receive special handling...

    Citori isn't cocking

    After two shots today I couldn't open the breech of my Citori more than about 1/5 of the way. I was afraid to force it so I took it home to look into the issue. I got it open after someone told me to see if the rectangular piece below the barrel hook slides. It did and the gun now opens fine...

    Gun For Petite Wife

    I am thinking about a gun for my wife and am thinking about a 20 gauge compact/youth semi. A buddy of mine, who got a new Ithaca 37 20 for his wife is trying to sell me on getting a 12 Gauge, because the weight absorbs a lot of recoil. I haven't the heart to tell him that he made a mistake...

    Value of used Sizemaster

    Any idea of what a used 12 ga MEC Sizemaster should bring on E-Bay? I am auctioning one off, separately selling a new collet, and offering to install the new collet in the loader if both are won by the same buyer, at no additional charge and dropping the cost of individually shipping the...

    New Trap Gun

    Well its at least new for shooting trap. My son asked me about an old gun I had dragged out while looking for some Xmas ornaments. A 12 gauge single shot H&R Model 1905. The bead is long gone, it has a bad crack running through the stock from the trigger assembly to the end of the small, and...

    MEC Progressive

    I am thinking of upgrading from a MEC Sizemaster to a Grabber or a 9000G 12 gauge reloader. For now I am good with pulling that handle, but one of these days the shoulder will probably want me to add an automate. It will only be used for 2-3/4 inch target loads. I just missed bagging a 9000G...

    Federal Top Gun Ammo with Bad Primers

    I experienced 2 failures to fire out of a single box of Federal Top Gun this past week and another shooter had 2 of a single box the week before. We were both shooting Citori's and the failures were in the lower barrels. I know that is a common problem if the pins are worn or crudded up, but I...
