    Interesting product for (cough, cough) Older Eyes

    Seems to be trying to fix a nonexistent problem. I was taught that the human eye cannot focus on the rear sight, the front sight an the target at the same time and that we needed to concentrate on the front sight.

    SKS ammo

    Find the cheapest, steel cased Russian ammo you can find. That's what the SKS was made to shoot. Check SG Ammo. Good prices, cheaper shipping than most. It's a family run place in Stillwater AR.

    What was your first handgun?

    Sroeger Luger 22LR. Bought at Dillards in late 60's (I think) for around 50 bucks. Fun to shoot but not terribly accurate. I need to get it out again.

    Handgun case for 8 guns

    Got me. I was expecting some high tech specialty gun case. Never thought about using a rifle case.

    Kimber Ultra carry II. Great shooter, easy to carry and conceal.

    What are you planning on acquiring in the next 12 months?

    I have looked at the RIA at gun shows. I wasn't very impressed. Glad to hear they work well. Guess I'm spoiled with my Springfield, Kimber and Colt. As far as my wish list, a commander size 45 or M1 Carbine. George - Since we are both in Austin, you are welcome to try one (or more) of my...

    Hi-Point... REALLY?

    I had a HiPoint in 45 for a while. Impulse buy at a pawn shop. I'm sure I paid too much for it. It shot fine, no problems at all. Sold it because I was ashamed to bring it out at the range, especially after buying my first 1911. :)
