    German kids first time shooting

    The guy I practice law with is a high school wrestling coach. A German all star team was spending a couple days in Corvallis, Or and the weather turned normal, wet and damp. They decided to head for a local farm to do a little shooting. None of the kids had ever touched a gun. I sent a few guns...

    New Ranger II

    Just arrived at the club yesterday. I got out today to pick it up. Took a few 9mm reloads and some 10 round Mags. Lubed up with eezox until it dripped. The club has a trigger gauge. I guessed 4.5. I was right on. Not one bauble. Steel plates fell with regularity. I am very happy. The...

    S&Ws at the range

    Had a chance to get to the range this weekend. Needed to sight in the Burris Fastfire III on the 617 and the II which I just put on the 620. Both were pretty close, just needed a little fine tuning. The III has a slightly smaller dot, and a manual selector for brightness in addition to the auto...

    Pair of 25-2s

    I posted a WTB a few weeks ago on the S&W forum and got two responses from fellow forum members. both had great guns for reasonable prices. I just couldn't decide which to get, so followed the tried and true logic of "get both". 25-2 1980 from Utah.44. Hardly shot, minimal turn line, dark blue...

    9mm Les Baer

    Took my investigator to the range today. He's retired LEO. Came over to the side of truth and justice, criminal defense:) He's looking for a daily carry. Ran into a good deal on a Glock .45, so needed to put some rounds down range. I brought along a few other guns. Had him shoot the 9mm PII...

    S&Ws at the range

    Bought a used S&W 15-1 from the local pusher yesterday. It is a bit rough. Rubbed the rust off, put a new rebound spring in it and polished the rebound slide. Took the it and friends to the range today. Put some target stocks on it for shooting. The originals are numbered to the gun. 15-1...

    638-3

    Went to the gun shop yesterday to get some more decapping pins for the LnL. Browsing the used gun case. Nice little 638 with CT grips sitting there along with a couple other light weight snubbies. As I'm looking and talking the owner pulls back his jacket to reveal his belt carry. It's the 638...

    Birthday gun

    I'm turning 60 this month. Called my gun dealer to see how much a 617 would cost, and how long to get one in. He said he had one in the case, $650. Happy birthday. I had ordered a couple Wolff spring kits, had the Ahrends retro combat on my 620. Did a stone and polish on the internals...

    Walnut media

    My local store went out of business. I found this available http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/235216/product.web When it got here I was disappointed, it is much finer than I had been using. After a few hundred very dirty .45 colt cases I have changed my mind. Very nice. I do put a bit of...

    New shooter

    The guy I work with has a 14 yr old boy and 12 yr old girl. The boy has been shooting for a couple years. First day for the girl. Started her out with my SA 1911 with the Ceiner top. She finished up with my S&W 19-3 .357 with powder puff .38s. Yes, she flopped a steel plate. The boy is...

    New SSBH Bisley

    I broke down and bought this guy. Had been looking at this gun, but only found one very over priced model. Suddenly a couple more reasonably priced showed up. I took possession at my club today. Put about 300 200 and 250 gr. target rounds through the .45 Colt and 150 45ACP rounds as well. I...

    New/newish shooters

    I had a chance to take a couple friends to the range today. Guy and gal in their 40s. He's shot some off and on, she said she had shot a hand gun before, once or twice. We set up in one of the outdoor three sided shooting bays. I brought a couple semi-auto 22s, he had a 22 revolver. I got them...

    '92 Rossi report

    I've been fooling around with some 255 gr lswc in .452 for the Colt & ACP. Heard that these were supposed to be pretty accurate, so loaded up some for the Rossi '92. THESE ARE NOT FOR REGULAR REVOLVERS! 10.5 Universal, set them to a smidge above the shoulder. I have the Skinner peep sight on...

    19-3 6"

    I am insane. Bought a 6" 19-3, decided I didn't need it and sold it to the guy across the street. Then this comes up, can't resist. I guess I might as well get the other two lengths and call it a set.

    nib S&W 19-3

    Bought a gun on GB It arrived yesterday. As advertised, nib. My dealer looked it over. The cylinder had been turned. There were three ports showing powder, and he said that was what the factory was supposed to do, fire every other chamber. Gun was dry as a bone.
