    Where do you carry your 1911?

    I am looking to start carrying my Taurus PT1911 more often. I don't know where the best place to carry it is for CCW. I was thinking an underarm holster but I hear a lot about back and neck strain. What other options are out there for a viable concealed carry for a full size 5" 1911? Thanks, F-C

    Under Arm Holster - What's the best?

    I am looking at getting my concealed carry this summer. I would like to get a couple of under arm holsters to try as that is where I would like to carry. I will either be using a Taurus PT1911 or a Ruger SR40c. I would prefer a molded or leather holster, but I will consider other options if...

    Ruger SR40c

    I stopped by the local gun shop yesterday and ended up carrying home a Ruger SR40c. It felt really good in my hand and the price wasn't too bad. I put 15 rounds down range a some pop cans, was drilling them all over the place at 10 yards. I was just wondering if anybody else had one and what...

    Best Full Size CCW Handgun?

    I am looking to get a new pistol to turn into my CCW gun. My current one is a rebuilt Taurus PT1911 in 45ACP. It is an excellent gun and a good shooter, but I was thinking of trying something different for a while. What are some of the other guns people are carrying in the full size range? I...

    A Good 20 Guage Single Shot?

    I have always enjoyed shooting trap behind our farm with my brother and cousin. We have been doing more and more of it here recently but I have wanted to get a nicer gun. I love shooting the 20's over the 12's just for the comfort level of shooting all afternoon. I also have a very nice trap...

    The 1911: Para vs. Springfield

    I have recently made a decision that I am going to save up for and purchase a 1911 pistol. After looking at S&W, Kimber, Colt, Taurus, Para and Springfield I have decided on Para or Springfield. I really like the looks of the Paras but Springfield makes some nice ones as well. The models...

    Handgun Decision Help Please...

    I am mainly a long gun user, very rarely do I use handguns but I feel the urge to get one this year for my birthday. The only difficulty is that I really don't know what I want yet so I can start saving up early. I already have a 22 LR Pistol, 357 Mag Revolver and a 45-70 Single-Shot Pistol...

    If it's not one thing it's another...

    I finally, after nearly 6 months of waiting, received my TC Custom Shop Encore barrel this morning. I have been looking forward to finally getting out and shooting the 6mm Rem since January. With the barrel coming in I called my local shop to see if they had my rings I ordered. Sadly, they...

    Franchi 48 AL or 720?

    I have decided that my next purchase will be a 20 gauge autoloader. I would like one that is going to look sharp when I take it out on the trap range but is still completely good to take out and shoot pigeons at the barnyard. Having looked through several guns I have settled on the Franchi...

    Bolt Slug Guns: Mossberg 695 / Savage 210F????

    I have been looking to move to a dedicated slug gun this year for deer season. I know I will carry my TC Encore in 45-70 pistol mode some of the time. My original thought was to get a 20 gauge slug barrel for it, but I don't want to have to switch it every night/morning based on how or where I...

    What kind of Lube do you use?

    I'm just about ready to start reloading, probably by this weekend actually, but what I was wondering is what kind of case lube do you guys prefer. My lyman kit came with a lube pad and some case lube, which I will probably use for now but I wanted to see what worked well before I ordered any...

    Peep and Globe sight for Encore?

    I was wondering if anybody made a good globe sight and peep sight for the TC Encore. I have dug up that williams seems to have a peep sight for it but I can't turn anything up for a front other then a fire sight or a ramp. If anyone knows about them it would be helpful. Thanks, F-C

    Varmint Rig Scope Ring Decision?!?!

    As many of you know I am nearing completion of my 6mm Remington TC Encore Varmint rig. I have everything I need except for one final part, the scope base and rings. I have looked at several but I have no clue what I want or what I would like to see on there. I have always been partial to...

    Bellm TC Encore/Contender Tune-Up Kits?

    http://http://www.bellmtcs.com/store/item.php?pid=1073&cid=367 Has anyone ever installed or used a TC with one these Bellm Tune-Up Kits on it? Is it worth the money to put on a rifle? Does it improve the trigger and overall accuracy? Also, is the hinge pin a huge accuracy breaker and needs...

    Riflescope Anti-Cant Device?

    I am seeking advice on what would be a good anti-cant device to mount on my scope. I am setting up a 6mm Remington TC Encore for long range varminting. It is going to have a Burris Fullfield II 6.5-20x50 mounted on it. The first question is for shots (at the longest) out to 600 yards, would...

    22-250 Pistol Data

    I have a 22-250 Pistol barrel (15") for my TC Encore. I ran through all of my books last night and I only found one of the four had any data on loading them for a pistol. The Lyman book I think had 3 or 4 different load choices in there but not much. The newest Hornady, Sierra and Modern...

    Super Duper Groundhog Killer!

    I spent my tax return wisely and invested in some gear for my TC Encore. The barrel is a 15" SS 22-250 Rem, scope base and rings are Leupold and the scope is a Simmons 2-6x32 LER Scope. The Pachmyar grips and Rock Mount Bi-pod I have had, but they were just too nice of a touch to leave out of...

    What to do with my tax return???

    So I finished up my taxes last night and it looks like I'm getting a nice little return. But now the question is what to do with it? My first thought was to go with the safe bet and purchase my reloading supplies. Powder, primers, etc. etc. Which I think that is always a safe investment but...

    Scope Mount for Franchi I-12

    Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a scope mount for the Franchi I-12? My gun shoots 3 holes touching at 75 yards but my eyes really strain to go that far accurately (It takes a month for me to hold and focus in on it at that range). I was thinking about getting a scope mount for it...

    New barrel isn't in and I can't wait any longer!

    So I got some cruddy news this weekend. The TC custom shop apparently messed up my first barrel, something about the button rifling wasn't right. I ordered this thing the first week of January and it's still not here. I don't know how much longer I can wait to get this 6mm Rem barrel but I...
