I have a few guns that I carry regularly. But I’m a pretty tall guy with a flat butt. Makes hanging a gun on my belt tricky at times since I try to avoid plumbers butt. So I’ve tried tons of different guns and holster combinations. I’ve tried pocket carry, cross draw, IWB, and appendix. In one...

Just looking at some of the pictures from the awful assassination of former prime minister Shinzo Abe in Japan today. One of his security detail was apprehending the assassin and it appears that the security person is carrying a revolver. See pic. I’m I seeing this correctly? Sent from my...

Hear me out. I’ve noticed many online and magazine reviewers recently (hyper) focusing on how good a particular gun’s trigger reset is. To the point that they are faulting the gun if they short stroke the gun’s trigger and ride the reset too closely. I don’t get this mentality. Triggers each...

Picked up a new Smith & Wesson CSX on Friday and finally got it to the range today to try it out. Here’s my list of pros and cons: Pros - 100% reliable. Ran about 200 rounds through it. Five different brands of factory ammo, and three different handloads. 3 different kinds of hollow points...

Does anyone know if zero bullets out of Cullmam Alabama is still operating? I placed an order in September and I’ve heard nothing from them. I called in March and was told that they still have the order but they are way behind. I had to call several times to get anyone to answer the phone. Now...

So I’ve spent a couple years off and on looking for the most accurate powder and bullet combination in 38 Special that would also make a power factor of 125. We’ve all heard that the HBWC with 2.7 gr of Bullseye was the old accuracy load. But it is really low powered. So I set out looking at...

One more reason primers are hard to find: Czechs say the Russians blew up the S&B factory in 2014 Many of you may have noticed that S&B primers disappeared from the market in about 2014. Sure some were still floating around, but the imports ended about then. The reason? The factory in the Czech...

Let me start with definitions. PCC (pistol caliber carbine) as i am using it here refers to semiauto rifle-styled guns. Most of the guns in this category will be braced or unbraced pistols, or SBRs chambered in a pistol caliber, or AR’s with either a pistol or rifle length barrel chambered in a...

Bear with me here. I’ll start by saying that I am a practicing attorney in a very gun friendly state, but I don’t do any criminal or firearms law on a regular basis. I’ve been thinking about some of the factors that one should take into consideration when carrying in order to lessen the chances...

As the title says. Crazy. Also they are seeking to reincorporate in Texas. What this suggests to me is that the NY AG actually has the goods on the NRA and they might end up getting dissolved because the leaders there really have had their hands in the cookie jar like she said. Filing in Texas...

Hang with me here. I’ve been thinking a lot lately (dangerous i know) about handgun cartridge ballistics and effectiveness. It was sparked by a comment made by a senior ballistician at Federal Ammunition during a short video i was watching. He commented that hydrostatic shock isn’t a reliable...

I’ve just built and am working on suppressing an AR-15 pistol in 300 blackout. Fun project. In any case, using sub-sonics the action cycling the AR is the loudest part and I’d like to see if i can get it even quieter. I’ve seen some bolt action suppressed guns shooting subsonic ammo and the...

Sadly, it finally happened. My j-frame fell out of my IWB holster. I was working on some mountain property moving heavy logs, lots of bending and twisting. Then i paused to help move a heavy collapsible picnic table and as i slid the table up the right side of my body to secure it (left hand...

Getting ready to polish the internals of one of my revolvers and install some shims, and the thought occurred to me: What if i packed the action with some jewelers rouge and some lubricant and just dry fired the thing 1000 times? And then cleaned it all out? Would that be as good as most...

Let’s see: Shimmed hammer and boss centered trigger. Two piece tensioned barrel with target crown and cold hammer forged for accuracy. Lightened cylinder relieved for moon clips Smoothed competition grip Fiber optic front sight Uses the Super Redhawk trigger group and internals 8 shots Good...

I’m wondering if the different types of wadcutters have differing characteristics that make make them better in one area or another. For example i know that hollow base wadcutters (hbwc) can create a seal to the barrel at really low pressures, and are there for really accurate at low...

Now that 10mm is the new hotness, with lots of manufacturers releasing new handguns chambered in that cartridge and building strong enough actions to handle the 10mm, l wonder if any of these manufacturers have thought of also chambering these guns in 9x23 win? The OAL of the two cartridges is...

Had my first squib yesterday. (First at least of my own reloads. I’ve had a squib from factory ammo as well.) And I’m trying to figure out the cause. Here’s the load and the gun: 38 special 158 gn xtreme plated round nose 4.6 gns of Winchester 231 (which is on the edge of +P) S&B small pistol...

So I've been working on developing a hot flat shooting load for my 357 mag Rossi 92 with a 20 inch barrel. The idea was to develop an accurate load out to 150 yards with open sights where I wouldn't really have to worry about hold over or bullet drop and which would be good for mid-size game...

Ruger just updated their website to show an LCRx in .357 mag!! Praying for the 3 inch model soon! Maybe .327 will follow.
