I just loaded my first batch of .38Spl ammo. Most of the cases were mixed headstamps from cartridges re-manufactured by HSM. I had fired these cases only once, so I assume that the great majority had been fired a total of twice. Out of about 60 cases, I found 5 that were split at the mouth...

I've gone to the MidwayUSA website twice in the last 24 hours to purchase some stuff. Their website has a new look. When I try to purchase the stuff in my cart, I progress through the screens to provide my shipping and billing address and get to the "Review Order" screen that has the "Place...

Today's pop quiz: What internal component of a 1911 can be missing and still allow the gun to function completely normally? I bought a new Springfield TRP in October, 2008. While I've field stripped it many times to clean it, I had never completely disassembled it until today. When I did, I saw...

Twice now I've gone to the Bud's Gun Shop website looking for the Ruger LCP and couldn't find it. Their search function shows 60 different Ruger pistols. Why wouldn't they sell the LCP? :confused:

I need to send my brand new TRP 1911 back to Springfield for repair. :( I called their customer service today and they emailed me a FedEx shipping label to use. So I packed the gun and took it to the local FedEx store. When I told them it was a handgun, they said that they couldn't ship it...

I'm a new shooter who's decided to work toward the NRA Distinguished Expert qualification in bullseye pistol. I've gotten to Expert using my Browning Buckmark and an Ultradot sight, which I like but with one reservation: the first step in field-stripping it is to remove the sight rail from the...

I've shot a couple hundred rounds of lead round nose through my new stainless Beretta 92FS. The user's manual has an ominous warning about shooting jacketed ammo through a lead-fouled barrel. The barrel looked clean and shiny after using Butch's Bore Shine, but since I'm a new shooter who...

I know nothing about rifles, but I'm looking for an accurate and reliable bolt action .22LR for my sons and I to do some target shooting, $500-1000 MSRP. So far I've found: Ruger 77/22-VBZ CZ 453 Varmint Remington 547 Weatherby Mark XXII Browning T-Bolt Target/Varmint Savage MkII Classic Any...
