    Stack On Reloading Bench

    Stack-On sells some reloading benches that I've been looking at on the MIDWAYUSA site. Has anybody had any experience with them ? The metal frame appears sturdy enough, but I am wondering how the wooden work top is secured to the frame. I figure that its almost certainly OK solid for work when...

    Taurus 22LR/22Mag revolver

    Reviewed in my latest copy of American Rifleman. Favorable review (nothing new there, AR rarely knocks a weapon). Price certainly looks good (MSRP less than $500). The big guess is my mind is how solid the lock-up of the two different cylinders will be after firing a few thousand rounds. To...

    DiamondBack 380 semi-auto

    I rented a DiamondBack 380 to try out about four months ago -- lots of jams, really lots and lots -- with the cheap ammo I was using that day. Have't been back to try again though I keep meaning to -- I reallly liked a lot of things about the weapon (sights/weight/accuracy [at 7-yards])...

    New Gun from Turkey (country of production - not a review)

    The EAA site is listing the "K2 Semi Auto Pistols produced by Sarsilmaz of Turkey". 9mm, 40, .45, and 10mm. They look like another clone of the CZ models (I consider that a good thing) but all four calibers list around $450: which both worries and interests me as that is a fairly low price...

    This is my fourth test of the .45 Acp Hi-Point I got for a Birthday present - see below the cut lines for earlier tests. Next week I finally get to spend time with my Xmass present (Gold Cup). :) Preparation: The only thing I did before firing was to clean the barrel from the muzzle end using...

    Phase II .45acp Hi-Point Testing

    This is my second test fire of my new Hi-Point -- see below the cut line for the first test. Preparation: This time, before firing: I cleaned the barrel from the muzzle at the range after Test #1, and before this test I did the type of cleaning I'd normally do with a new firewarm before...

    I started a Hi-Point thread about a shooting test I conducted last week and it lasted for four days before devolving and needing to be Closed thursday night. I plan to conduct a second test fire this weekend and I will be trying to open a new thread based on the Test results...

    Hi-Point 45acp testing ($189 before tax)

    Purchased out of curiosity – I’d tend to use another .45 for most functions. Preparation: Pistol bore wiped down with Hoppes before going to the range. I installed the included ‘ghost ring’ (i.e. a peep sight replacing the standard rear sight). I could not see any apparent benefit, but I...

    STI brand 1911s

    I've looked at them a few times (on-line) but the price for the models I saw seemed too high. Recently I noted that they have a SPARTAN model that seems to offer an awful lot for just about $700. Adjustable rear sight Fiberoptic front skeletonized trigger with overtravel screw adjustment and...

    DiamondBack 380

    They look a lot like a mini Glock. A local Glock Dealer also carries them and I tried a rental this weekend. The Good. Great sights (for a pocket pistol) - seem like about 3/4 scale Glock sights. 9 Ounces empty. Comfortable in my average size hand (but the looongest Trigger Pull I've ever...

    Best bang 10MM I repeat my comment about the EAA Hunter model - but added a picture extract of Website. At least I hope I did. I don't see the attached pic in the preview pane but I do see reference to it, so I hope it shows up.

    Buying Ammo -- Info provided

    I'm curious about the load data provided by companies that either sell ammo using once-fired brass or who load it into StarLine brass. I reload for my .45 ACP, but I've got a 10MM that I have not started reloading for YET. I found the only ammo I could buy from local gun shops was Personal...

    New Glock 20C

    Just bought a new Glock 20C (10mm compensated -- 4.5 inch barrel and 28 ounces empty). Shoots good --- but I'm glad I picked the C model). I normally shoot 10mm in an EAA Hunter (6 inch barrel and 40 ounces empty). I've been wanting another 10mm and was considering one on a 1911 platfrorm when...
