I don’t usually gripe about customer service -in fact, my experience with firearms-related customer service - and reloading related customer service in particular - have been very good. But I had a bad experience with Federal just now, and thought I’d share it, because it was so unusual in...

Bought a Howell's conversion cylinder for the ROA last week. I'm quite happy shooting the gun with 777, but it's difficult to pour powder on windy days (of which our range has its share), so I figured the .45 Colt cylinder would help me enjoy a new favorite gun more often. Had a bit of a...

Have you ever run across a product and said, “Man, where have you been all my life? I could have used this for the last 25 years!” Well, that’s my feeling after two weeks of wearing the inexpensive no-clip IWB holster from Remora Concealment and Security Products...

I think it was CVA that made a .44 copy of these recently, but Bob Tingle of Shelbyville, back home in Indiana, used to make .40 in-line single shots that vaguely resembled the profile of Remington 1858s. Anyone have any experience with them? I ran across one yesterday that had a superlight...

Hi guys, I've been looking for one of these for a long time. 540 grains at almost 1100 fps! Eep! :) Problem is, I never got around to getting one while they were in production, then I never saw one in decent condition at a decent price. On Saturday, after spending an hour in a large local gun...

Hi all, Well, most of us know Erik Srigley (he posts as "Srigs" on a lot of forums), my southpaw brother who makes super-durable leather gun gear up in the Twin Cities. He was the holster maker I turned to when I got the idea that I needed a pouch to vertically hold speed strips in my pocket...

You know, I L-O-V-E shooting my cast .38 handloads, and I carry them as my primary load in my revolvers. But, I wouldn't carry them in speedloaders or speed strips, because I was afraid of them getting dinged up in my pocket. Heck, even my jacketed rounds sometimes get dinged up in the pocket...

Well, I just ordered some of Mike McNett's 95-grain FMJ .380 for the P232. It's advertised as doing 1085 fps from a Bersa and 975 fps from a Kel-Tec (which is really smoking from a Kel-Tec - they tend to chrono about 150 fps slower than that with "regular" factory ammo). All within SAAMI specs -...

Hi folks, This is actually a request from my dad; he asked me to post online to see if I could find info to help him out. Dad's got a house up on Lake Superior, and he's got moose, bears and wolves running around it. He'd like to get some pictures, and he thought an infrared "deer camp"...

Hi all, A month and a half ago, Eagle announced that their long-awaited 30-round mag for the Remington 597 was ready for prime-time. (They'd had it up on the website for some time, but said that they wanted to get everything right before they shipped it out.) I ordered two. They arrived in a...

NM's HB 588 was signed yesterday. You should look at the law (link from link below) for the exact language, but - come 1 July 2007 - it will be legal for licensees to carry where liquor is sold for off-premises consumption. http://www.sos.state.nm.us/displayinner.asp?id=104

Hi folks, For those of you who chronograph .380s, what is the fastest .380 FMJ you've found? Feel free to throw in semi-soft-points like the Santa Barbara rounds, but I'm not interested in JHPs, lightweight, or pre-fragmented rounds. Thanks in advance, erich

He may be a politician, but this was pretty cool: http://www.freenewmexican.com/news/42625.html I actually spoke to him about doing this at dinner (my wife's a bigwig) about a year ago - I'm sort of amazed that he followed through! :) Governor gets license to pack By DAVID MILES | The New...

And I finally met him in person last night. :) A couple of years ago I met Lee Aldridge (of Reality Based Fighting Concepts, moderater at the selfdefenseforms) online. We knew we both lived in the Albuquerque area, but it was only when a mutual friend visited from out of state last year that we...

I'm thinking pretty hard about picking up a set of CT grips for my Sig-Sauer P-228. Notwithstanding Clint Smith's or anyone else's comments on laser/phasers/etc., would I have a battery wear-out problem if I were to carry the CT-gripped P-228 in my SmartCarry holster/pouch? I see that the...

After having lunch with an online friend from Glock Talk, we cruised over to this store (Sherwood's Spirit of America) here in Santa Fe that has an amazing collection of museum-quality old Western weapons, art, clothing and artifacts. They also sell a few modern guns. Many are horribly...
