DO NOT, under ANY circumstances use any ammunition in an LCP that is "hotter" than SAAMI standards for .380 ACP. Several LCPs have been very rapidly disassembled in their shooter's hands because of overpressure ammunition. There is no SAAMI specification for any "+P" loading in the .380 ACP...

You overlooked an old-time favorite - the Walther PPK and PPK/S. I have a PPK/S that I bought new in 1973. It was made in Germany and imported by Interarms. I paid all of $149.00 for it back then. It's one of most-favorite handguns that I own. I also have a Beretta 92FS and it's definitely...

Federal's XM193 and my reloads are all I shoot in my AR.

I changed the title of the thread (from LCP2 to LCPII). There is no such thing as a Ruger LCP2 though many folks refer to the first modified release of the LCP as the "LCP Gen2". To refer to the latest version, the Roman Numeral II should be used.

You think that's funny... My first experience with handling and taking an AR-15 apart was playing with my son's long-range target AR. I wanted to see what all the parts in the bolt looked like so I started disassembly. Whoaaa.... I dropped a couple of parts on the floor, one of which was the...

One thing that, in my mind, is extremely important - especially for a new pistol shooter - is to have a pistol that fits the shooter's hand properly. This is critically important for point-shooting but makes a difference for all shooting. Here's something I've published in other forums many...

My favorite accuracy toy is my Remington 40XBR benchrest rifle, chambered in .222 Remington and topped with a 20X Unertl target scope. The rifle was made for me in Remington's Custom Shop and delivered to me in January of 1974. The trigger trips at what feels like less than a pound. I can...

I like my M1A. It feels just like what I had in Army basic training and took to the range a few times while stationed in Europe in the 1960s. I even have a proper bayonet for it.

I don't think so. I believe she's closer to the camera and not really pointing her pistol at him. Hard to be sure, of course.

I have confirmed that the LCP II (not "2") fully cocks the hammer when the slide is cycled (both manually and after firing) and there is NO safety that can manually prevent the hammer from falling. This is sorta like a Glock except for the fact that this has a hammer and is not striker-fired...

Try Brownell's.

My primary choice for .380 is Cor-Bon DPX.

The main purpose is to put money in the maker's pocket.

The thing about using the EOTech red-dot sight that I find absolutely amazing is the fact that I can easily keep both eyes open (which allows me to see a LOT more around me than keeping one eye closed) and when I put the rifle up to my shoulder, the red dot superimposes itself on my two-eye...

The first question you should answer is: How do you intend to use your AR? If you intend to use the AR basically for home defense and other short-range shooting, I recommend a 1:1 red dot sight along with "co-witnessed" iron sights. If you intend to do only long-range shooting, another option...
