Can anyone give me a decent load, for a 124 gr. bullet in 9MM? To be used strictly as a practice load, and I am not looking for top end velocities. Must reliably function a SIG P290RS. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Those of us that carry a 642 are fully aware that the recoil with a good +P S.D. load can be a bit snappy. As a matter of fact, it can be damned painful. I decided to try a set of Pachmayr Gripper grips with the covered back strap on it, and found them to be about as concealable as a bugle...

I have to re-scope my Encore .454 Casull pistol (12"). Attempted to use a 5 year old Weaver 4x scope. 5 rounds later, adjustments don't work, and will not hold zero. Too much recoil??? Anyway, can anyone tell me what scope will hold up to full power loads from this gun? Thank you

I want to mount either a red dot, or Holosight on a SIG p220 pistol. I have not been able to locate a source for the mounts. I don't want to mount it on the slide, as I think this will affect the operation of the gun. Does anyone know of a source for a frame mount to fit the 220? Thank you

OK, I admit it. My eyes have gone to h-ll in a handbasket. I can no longer clearly see the sights on any pistol I have. Can anyone tell me where I can get a mount to put either a holo, or red dot sight on a SIG 220? I don't want to mount it to the slide, as I am sure that will adversely...

Over the years, I have hunted whitetail deer with numerous calibers. Mostly in a revolver. I have taken deer out to 75 yards (most were much closer)with the following; .44 Spl. .44 Mag .45 Colt .45 ACP .454 Casull .357 Mag. .38 Spl. (one time only) I have just acquired a .243 rifle that I am...

So, Sadam is dead. Bin Laden is dead. Ghadafi is dead. Who the heck is now left for all of us to hate? A quote from William Bendix (Life of Riley) really fits. "What a revolting development this is."

Gentlemen When I took my 642 out of the safe today, I noticed a small hole, that I never noticed before, on the left side of the frame, about 1/2" to the right, and just a bit lower than the lock. I have had the piece for a number of years, and have never noticed this hole before. What the heck...

Just as a point of discussion. You were walking down the street at 10:00 PM. As you passed an alley, you were struck from behind, dragged into the alley, and knocked to the ground. Looking up, you saw a person with a knife standing over you, demanding your money. You are armed with your usual...

I was able to pick up a few boxes of this ammo, for a great price, in std. velocity .38 Spl. 110 grain bullet. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff that you are willing to share? I picked it up for use in a 642, and am looking for a light recoiling load, with reasonable S.D...

On Friday, one of the best was lost. Officer John Falcone of the City of Poughkeepsie Police Dept. was shot and killed in the line of duty. I ask that you all please remember him and his family in your prayers. A great guy, a loving family man, and a couragous Cop has made the ultimate...

Hi Been trying to get in touch with Bob Mika to order a couple of pocket holsters. His website keeps coming up as unavailable. Is he still in business, and if so, how do I get in touch with him to place the order? Thanks

In the face of our fallen economy, and the probability of an increasing crime rate, what if any changes have you made in your home and self defense stratagies and equipment? I live in a rural area, and for the first time in memory, I have started to lock all doors, vehicles, and windows. In...

Last month I had to undergo a surgical procedure on my right inner ear. Deer season opens in about two weeks. This leaves me with a problem to be solved. Without taking price into consideration, what are the best shooting ear muffs available? Let me repeat, price is no object. The doctor's...

Gentlemen I was just given a box of 500 Hornady 68gr. Match BTHP bullets. Can I expect these to properly stabilize in a 9" twist barrel? The box says that they should be used in a 7" - 10" twist only. What's your opinion? I have been using 55 grainers, and the rifle will shoot consistant...

Well, a few weeks before deer season, and my Encore decided to go tits up. The darn thing will not cock. Tried everything I know, (prayer, swear, change barrels, throw tantrum, thorough cleaning, scream like a little girl, check trigger overtravel screw). No joy. I now have a choice of...

Does anyone out there know of a thigh holster that will fit a 4" Ruger Security Six revolver? This would be for a close friend that has a severe physical limitation that absolutely prevents a gun being carried at hip level. Medical equipment is worn on her belt. Due to these limitations, and...

I am thinking about changing the nipple on my T/C Hawken .54 to accept musket caps. I have been told that this will give me more positive ignition. In reality, except for three times when I tried Pyrodex, I have not had any problems. I usually use 2F B.P. With all the new rules re...

Hi to all. I just had a unique experience with a supplier. I had ordered a square bottom pocket holster for my 642 from Mika's Pocket Holsters. Received the package today, to discover that he had shipped the round bottom holster in error. I called him on the phone, and got his voice mail. I...

Remember the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe and tried to light it? Did you know his trial is over? Did you know he was sentenced? Did you see/hear any of the judge's comments on TV/Radio? Didn't think so. Everyone should hear what the judge had to say. Ruling by Judge...
