I am getting ready to purchase an Optima 2000 for my Beretta 92FS and I found a good price on BotachTactical.com. Have any of you dealt with them, would you mind sharing your experiences? I get nervous when I try someone new. I just tried to purchase some Peltor electrontic muffs from a new...

I am getting ready to add a Red Dot to my Beretta 92 FS and the Optima comes in 3.5 and 7 MOA. Now, I realize that this means that the one dot is twice the size of the other but I don't know what that means in real terms. I will be using it for IPSC and just regular paper punching. Would you...

The time has come to pick up some new hearing protection. Can you please let me know which ones you suggest and why? So far the only recommendation that I have received is to buy ones that don't cut completely off, but only dip when a shot is fired. Thanks for your help.

Was listening to several people at steel challange tonight and most of them said that they had stopped using small pistol primers and were using small rifle primers instead. I assume it was to get more power out of the round. But don't you run into over pressure problems? What is the real benefit?

:confused: What is a Super 9? I was talking to another shooter tonight at steel challange and he said he was shooing super 9mm in IPSC. Claimed that he was able to load it heavily enough to qualify for major power factor. At first I thought it might be a 9X21, but we compared cartiridges and...

Has anyone done this? If so, how do you like it? Terry

For me it was my first Weight Watchers meeting this morning, was really hard, but I strapped on my CCW anyhow. They let you take your shoes off for the the weigh-in, I wonder what would happen if I handed the attendant my CCW and backup ammo as well <GRIN>. Terry

I have been a Christian since 1974, a Southern Baptist since 1984, and a Pastor from 1990 - 1998. Never kept guns around the house during that period, just wasn't interested. I grew up in a household where guns were for hunting and I don't like to hunt. Well about three years ago I re-married...

I was just over on the Taurus looking at their .22 rifles, what is the difference between a rifle and a carbine? BTW, anyone have a Taurus model 62 or 72? Terry.

My grandson noticed the print of the grip on my CCW (Taurus M85CH), my daughter simply told him that is Granpa's gun, he uses it to protect us from the "Crazies" who want to hurt us. She has come a long way in the last year when she was afraid to come into the house for fear of my guns. It is...

Well, I am in deep trouble now, my wife just resumed shooting after the birth of our daughter and was able to try out my new Beretta 92 for the first time. Now she has always liked her Ruger P89, but I literally had to pry my Beretta out of her hands when I wanted to shoot it. Looks like we may...

I recently read a couple of posts from people who were recharing their tumbling media by pouring a couple of "glugs" of liquid car polish (non-ammonia)into it. Any one here doing this? I am using a crushed walnut (with polish) and I am unhappy with the residual red dust that it leaves on my...

My wife has decided that she wants to start carrying, something similar to the Taurus Model 85 that is my normal CCW. Now, since she already likes my gun, I was thinking of letting her have it and getting a .357 snub to replace it, but I have "heard" that the 2" barrel really doesn't allow you...

Loaded my first batch of .38 special using 125 gr HP and 3.6 gr Hodgdon's Clays. The load seemed to function ok, but ever time I fire sparks would shoot out the end of the barrel (Taurus Model 85). Man it looked strange in the indoor range, I have gotten Yellow flame, blue flame, but this is the...

Anyone out there reloading 147gr for 9mm? I tried my first batch today with 3.3 of W231 and was quite pleased with it, the recoil in my 92FS was almost non-existent. I think I will work up a batch for Steel Challenge with the heaver slug, it should still have enough energy to knock the plates...

I have been using 5.3 gr of Unique with Rainier 124 TCJ RN and have reloaded many thousand rounds successfully. But the canister is empty, and I have some time to experiment before spring shooting season, so does any one have a favorite powder they think I should try?

I have been agonizing over my next gun purchase, I have been vacilating between a Taurus and Beretta 92 series. I like the features of the Taurus better(although I am scared to death of their warranty service), but after handling a Beretta yesterday it simply "feels" better. Now the clincher I...
