Limited on tools, but I can sand as needed, I have a rotozip to cut out the pattern. I have been finding it can be rather difficult to find grips for my specific handgun. That being said, I figure I can trace the old ones, countersink the holed if needed. But what kind of wood/bone can be...

I was reading through various threads on here that keeping ammo in a Magazine does not usually wear out the springs. What about ammo being in the magazine for 4 years and never having the gun shot? I always give my wife crap about this, because she bought her gun 4 years ago (ish) and has kept...

Ok 1, I would like to eventually buy some handgrips for my Stoeger. Some can be found relatively inexpensively. My concern is do they increase the grip size, or are they usually the same thickness as factory grips? As with all things cosmetic, how many folks out there have actually found it...

Was looking through the online Taurus Catalog and found they bought the Brazil plant for the Beretta 92? I just bought a Stoeger Cougar and I am having a hard time finding stuff for it, although everybody has been saying the Beretta Cougar and 92 mags should work. I'm wondering if the Taurus 92...

Wasn't sure where to put this? I keep seeing pistol carbines out there like those offered through Hi-Point and Kel-tek. What is the purpose? Other than shooting your favorite pistol loads in rifle form I don't see much more of a use? Why not just buy a rifle?

So for my usage with the .30-30 and the .270 I am planning on using something along the lines of the Sierra Soft Point for simplicity sake. For my .40 and 9mm: Trouble I am having is bullet types and definitions, which I have found some help on. I noticed FMJ are really only for target...

Heya! Went to the range today, for the 2nd time with my Marlin 336w, and was quite happy I figured out how to aim the thing... I enclosed the target used, but here is my question. As you can see most of the rounds are hitting higher up, once I noticed that, I aimed at the bottom of the 8 ring...

Doing one here for my Cougar and one in the lever action area for my .30-30 Went to the range and shot about 100rds through my Stoeger Cougar 8040. I was using factory Winchester and Independence 165gr FMJ. I started at the 7yr range as my wife was with me shooting her 9mm PX4 Storm. I...

Ok, so trying to wrap my head around this whole thing as I never have owned or fired a single action pistol... ever... so I thought Double Action was just the standard. Well check that, my Dad has a .357 wheels gun that he let us shoot and you had to cock the hammer back before you could shoot...

Lots of controversy here... I will not be in a tight quarters situation as far as I am aware. I am looking at a thigh holster as something I can wear hunting (for backup not primary hunting weapon) and to the range if needed. I could go actual beltline holster but I have longer arms than most...

Bought a box of Winchester taget loads for my Stoeger Cougar and I definetly noticed the snap of the recoil that people have mentioned, while looking through Sierras bullet lined I noticed 150gr and even if I wanted to go that low the 130gr. If I did 150gr hollowpoints would that be a good...

Random question not sure where it needed to go. I've always been aware that even at 5'8" I have long monkey arms. This being said I an reading various items on trigger length and having a hard time finding information regarding what it should be. Right now shooting standing up or braced on the...

Recently picked up a .40 caliber Stoeger Cougar. Why? Cause I liked the look and the weight of the gun and it just felt right. Took it to the range, shot 50 rounds of Winchester 165gr target ammo through it and couldn't have been happier with the results! My wrist didn't hurt at all and my...

Another idiot question! My Dad has always been hooked on Ramshot powders, that being said it seems the Big Game powder is what I'll be looking for (if I can find any). The Chart for the powder only lists Sierra and Hornady bullets, so I was wondering if any of you have had any luck with other...

Good Afternoon! So at the risk of sounding like a complete idiot I'm somewhat of a newb when it comes to reloading. I remember my Dad having all the stuff setup on a bench out back when I was still living at home, and he has started me with some good advice so far. I do not yet have a place to...
