I just got done shopping around and realized my old Favorite 9mm Winchester Ranger +P+ 127gr ammo was no longer being sold anywhere. What I see now are dollar plus and even up to Two dollars per shot ammo from Cor-Bon and Buffalo Bore for their hot +P+ rounds. That is highway robbery in my...

I was noticing in some photos of guns for sale that the S&W 745 and 4563 and 945 pistols had fully ramped and ( I assume) supported barrels and I was wondering what other SW 45 cal models might also have them. I do not think the 4506 does but I am not certain. Are there others? The reason...

We all know by now that the 10mm was downloaded to produce the SW 40 caliber cartridge. Well I now have a 10mm S&W pistol and I might as well load it to the max SAAMI specs or else I wasted my money. ( I could have bought a SW 40 if I wanted downloaded ammo.) I have been researching all the...

Found a new/old website for 10mm Semi Autos In particular there is a lot of comprehensive load data from what looks like 2002 and 2003 Factory Load Data Tables Also a good bit of history and misc info about 10mm pistols http://guitarsalon.biz/10mm/index.htm

Anyone ever shoot tracers in a pistol? I see them advertised and wondered if they were a gimmick or if they really worked.

I bought some inexpensive lead free range ammo in 9mm from Cheaper than Dirt and it was 100gr. I tried to squeeze one of the bullets with wire cutters to test for hardness and the bullet broke in two like a pretzel or soda cracker. Recently while shooting in the woods I was curious if the...

I recently bought a very beat up S&W mod 59 pistol with single stack mag and I had removed the pistol grips to work on the finish of the pistol a little and I have decided to leave the grips off as the width of the resulting pistol handle is then only 3/4 of an inch. ( same width as a Keltec 380...

I just found out today that four of the five sheaths for my various large lockback knives and multitools fit 1911 magazines perfectly and they are designed to be worn on belts as holsters for these tools. Go to Smokey Mountain Knifeworks and do search for just the word "sheaths" All of the...

Highest Riding OWB holster ? I have decided to try an OWB for when I can wear a shirt with the shirt tail hanging out but I dont want the tip of my 5 in 1911 hanging down for all to see under the shirt. ( like happened with the holster that came with my Springfield.) I have been looking at the...

I just bought a few boxes of 9mm ammo and I got the lead free sintered bullets only because they were the cheapest and I thought what the heck if lead free is the cheapest so much the better. They are only 100 grains so whatever the metal is, it is lighter. Here is the interesting thing. I...
