At 63 I finally took the plunge. :D:D:D I've had a nice '57 Belgium Browning Superpose for quite some time but it isn't a tool for HD or similar social engagements. So this Mossberg Talo 500 Watchdog 2 followed me home yesterday. A vintage no longer used 380 was sacrificed in trade :D

Great couple of days! Yesterday I received a pair of Brazilian Cherry over-thick grips and today my RKBA pocket holster. Stephen made mine with roughout leather facing my leg and smooth facing out. Very very nice :D

I really didn't like the look of the stock plastic fluted panels on my basic Nitron model P238 so I looked to see if anyone who had upgraded their grips would be willing to sell their factory G10, Blackwood, or Rosewood grips. No joy :( So I looked around and found these Brazilian Cherry stocks...

I've been using this one from Farrsight for years. Clips on to your glasses and can be flipped up out of the way. Unfortunately it no longer seems to be on the market. When Brownell's had it, their number was 084-048-001. The apertures allow an extremely deep range of focus akin to a camera at...

I have a couple of commander sized 1911s along with a "chopped" BHP that serve as my CCW "go to" weaps. But during hot weather I find these to not become as concealed as I'd like. This due to a combination of my particular build and normal clothes. Meaning a T-shirt prints easily and I'm not...

Obviously the comments provided here are my opinions. They are subjective and may not reflect what you might experience with any of these models. Belt Slides I've used a variety of this style for decades ranging from both Galco leather and reinforced cordura Yaqui models, to ones supplied by...

Just got my custom bobtail Afzelia Xylay "tweeners" (half way between standard and ultra slim thickness) from the "Sarge" (Ryan Payne) of The Finer Grain for my Dan Wesson CBOB. I love the "3D" effect of the veins in this wood. They feel great and the fit and finish is top drawer...

I've been vacillating back and forth about a new semi-auto in .45acp. I was looking for something significantly lighter than my current prime carry piece which weighs in at 34.9 ounces. It also is a "project" piece that sports a 3.5" compensated conical barrel. But everything I looked at that...

I've been looking for a lightweight commander sized 45acp for some time to no avail (I admit to being picky about what brands with some eliminated from consideration). I found a Talo Colt Defender today NIB for $1179.99. Online I see them for $100 to $150 less but none are available in stock...

I have a 1957 vintage 2 3/4" 12ga Belgium Browning Superposed Lightning Grade-1 with modified over improved cylinder 28" tubes. The bores are in great shape. The stock and metal work show some light wear. The gold finish on the trigger is mostly gone. The stock has been fitted with a Mershon...

My prime CCW is a Brolin Arms 1911. Yeah I know.... mention that name around anyone who who knows anything about guns and they'll wrinkle their nose. They only managed to stay in business 3 years. The very poor initial reviews of their wares in gun magazines didn't help much. Many did have QC...

Seeing a few Ruger .22LR pistol threads recently got me reminiscing about mine. It is the longest owned pistol in my battery having been acquired back in 1983. It started life as a stock Mk678 II. In the 26 years this pistol has provided service, it has undergone quite a few changes in...

In the general handgun forum I'd been discussing trigger finger reach issues, specifically with regard to Sig semi-autos. Turns out the P220 will work for me although installation of a short trigger and thin grip panels will be necessary to optimize things. This after handling a P220 Combat...

For whatever is in my genes, my dominant hand (right) trigger finger is a good 1/4" shorter than the same finger on my other hand. While my hands are wide, like my 6E feet, they have fingers that generally are shorter than most folks who stand 5' 7.5". (I'm very long waisted too taking only a...

Anyone know where an outfit I believe called Technicarbon Dynamics can be found? URL, address, phone number???? They make aftermarket replacement rifle stocks from hand laid carbon fiber. I think one model number is TEK200. -=[Bob]=-

I had previously found that 46 grains of VARGET with GM210M primers in Federal Gold Match .308 WIN cases (OAL 2.800") was very accurate using home moly coated Hornady 168 grain and Sierra 175 grain bullets. Shadows have killed attempts to get valid chronograph results for the 175gr load but...

George, I'm an am amateur smith and have modified a 1990 FN MKIII and FM (Argentine) Detective (chopped P-35). Here's a series of 3 pictures and a complete desription of the modifications made: click link here The FM has the older style sear lever and exhibits no take up and a very...

Okay folks, I reported on my Savage 10FP in 308 with Leupold 4.5-14x50 MilDot tactical scope several months ago. Broke it in with KG Products moly and have only shot moly coated bullets in both factory and homebrew loadings. 0.35" c-t-c for 3 shots @ 100 yards consistant accuracy. Factory...

I contacted Cole Distributors who imports IMI stuff but they say they're not handling the brass or loaded 41AE ammo IMI makes. I've found that Starline and like outfits don't make the brass either. Seems I've seen ads in the past but the picture is cloudy. Anyone have any leads? -=[Bob]=-
