Had my first reason to call Kimber earlier this week. Wanted to get a new return spring for my Kimber .380 Micro. The rep asked me to described the guide rod and then advised there was an updated version and that he would get on in the mail to me right away. Had the new guide rod and spring...

Interesting news on reversal of lead ban on certain government land. To me it makes lots of sense. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/02/new-interior-secretary-zinke-reverses-last-minute-obama-lead-ammunition-ban.html

Just finished watching today's CBS Sunday Morning show. The entire show was on guns in the US. Amazingly unbiased with fair presentation of both pro and anti gun positions. No conclusion, bias, or preconceived notions as near as Icould tell. Definitely the fairest gun presentation I've...

Purchased my first gun from Able Ammo this week. A very easy transaction. Placed the order via the Internet late Sunday afternoon and picked the gun up at my ffl shortly after noon on Wednesday. Very impressed how fast they shipped. Free shipping and competitive pricing.

Today I took my new Dan Wesson Guardian bob tail commander .45 ACP to the range for the first time. Fired 100rds of Winchester 230 grain FMJ Ammo through it with no malfunctions of any kind. Used both magazines. The trigger is excellent right out of the box. Recoil is relatively light. Fits...

Last week I took delivery on a NIB Colt Government Competition Model 1911 9mm that I found on Gun Broker. Today it went to the range for the initial firing. The grips feel great with the thumb notch. The gun is a bit heavy but well balanced and easy to control. The trigger is very, very good...

Just took delivery on a new in the box Dan Wesson 1911 ECO 9mm. I own several other 1911s, including one other Dan Wesson, all .45ACPs. My initial reaction is that I like this gun better than all of the others. It is tight, has very good sights, the trigger is exceptional right out of the...

A few weeks ago I ran across an article and review on the Winchester 1885 Low wall rifle in .17HMR. I really liked the looks of the gun, so found one on Gunbroker and ended up buying it. Took it to the range today and was very pleased with the way it shoots. It is a bit on the heavy side, but...

Just picked up a new CZ 455 FS bolt action in .17HMR. It has a stock patterned after the full length, Mannlicher style. Well made with a very good trigger, and smooth action. Very accurate. Not crazy about the polymer magazines, but that's about my only complaint. Nice gun.

I'veread a few articles that indicate New York has a hot line with a $500 reward for reporting anyone with an illegal gun. Is there anything to it? Or is it poor nonsense?

This morning I took my new Ruger SR 1911 Commander to the range for the first time. I put 100 rds though it with no malfunctions of any kind. It has a decent trigger for a new gun and is quite accurate. I find the sights very easy to see even in the low light of the indoor range. The fit and...

Watching Piers Morgan rant on the news this morning. He was spouting out a bunch of statistics including one that over 100,000 people are injured by guns each year. Where does he get this stuff? Unfortunately he has a very big stage, people slurp up his figures, and they become accepted as...

Yesterday I picked up a very clean used Colt Mustang .380ACP that I got by trading my Ruger LCP .380 plus cash. I was attracted to the gun by the way it looked and felt when I picked it up. After cleaning and lubing it I took it to an indoor range for a test run. I was amazed how nice the...

Stopped by Sportsmans Warehouse today and looked at a Browning 1911-22. I really liked the little gun and it followed me home. After reading a bit about it I'm happy to see it is actually made in the USA. When I got home I stripped it and cleaned and oiled it. Seems to be quite well made...

Went to a local shop with a couple shooting buddies to browse. Had read good things about the Henry Golden Boy rim fires so asked if they had a .17HMR I could look at. Showed me a NIB on clearance for $375. Better price than I'd seen anyplace on line so I grabbed it. Can't wait to get it out...

I just traded my Glock 22 ( plus some cash) for a like new Sig 229 Equinox. The Glock just didn't fit my hand well and was uncomfortable to shoot. Took the Sig to the range for the first time today and was amazed how well it shot. Very accurate and the recoil felt significantly less than the...

Was in a local gun shop last week, just looking - not planning to buy anything. While browsing I noticed like new used Beretta Cheetah 85FS .380ACP, nickel finish with walnut grips. The price was $499. Really liked the way the gun felt in my hand and loved the way it looked, but reluctantly...

Smith & Wesson's site now has the short 10 rd. magazine for the M&P 15-22 available. I've been checking their site almost daily and this is the first time I've seen them listed.

Family member recently lost sight in his right eye. He's not inclined to learn to shoot left handed as he's almost 70 yrs. old. Does anyone know where to find a decent offset scope mount that would allow him to use his left eye while shooting right handed?

Interesting article regarding Frommers view on Arizona gun laws, specifically open carry. He seems to believe that those who open carry are thugs and extremists. Travel Icon Says He'll Avoid Arizona Because of Gun Laws Friday, August 21, 2009 Associated Press PHOENIX — Travel icon Arthur...
