A friend of mine called up last week and said they had a Leinad Cobray 22/45 over and under for sale. I passed , I have a their Model DD 45-410. I took it to the range once and ran a half dozen 410 shell though it that was enough. I’ve passed on the .45 caliber rounds so far. They make great...

The hammer pin was walking out but that got fixed. Otherwise she's great. I'm going to be hitting the gun range with the Widow quite a bit this month getting her in shape for her CWP class on the 5th of November. While she's working out with the LC380, I'm going to break this puppy in for carry...

A Ruger LC9?????

Very nice 1911.....

I was out making the rounds this afternoon when I spotted a used Ruger LC9 going for $260.00. I took a look and it didn’t come with a box or the safety lock key/tool. I borrowed a paper clip and popped her open. The inside looked great aa did the exterior. 95% easily. I got home and found...

Too true.

Awesome are you?? I slapped on a new target, ran it out 15 yards and tapped a few rounds into the top from the Ruger Standard. I slapped a red dot on it. Then I dumped 2 magazines from the Colt into it. Those little blemishes on the red dot are holes. I fool around on the range quite a bit...

I decided that I was going to take a trip to Palmetto State Armory and hit their gun range. So at about 11:30 I headed that way. I'd let my range membership expire last month. They wanted $250.00 a year for a member ship renewal. So I did the math and told them I pay by the hour or half hour. At...

I hit Palmetto State Armory and Sportsman's Warehouse. Nothing but 17 WMR on the shelf.

How proficient is she with it? How big is the inside target area? I learned combat technique tactics on a 12 gauge riot shotgun many moons ago. I can lean into a twelve gauge, with 00 Buck, pull the trigger, ride the recoil, rack that slide, pop another round in and let them rip. But when it...

Interesting review of self defense ammunition. For in house shooting at inside ranges of 10-12 yards I prefer Winchester 12 gauge 1 1/8 oz., 7 1/2 Shot shell, at 1200 f.p.s., it'll pattern into a 6-8" wide spread at that range. Using a Remington 870 Clone, the H&R Pardner Pump with an 18"...

Hey, I totally understand your frustration. I get bent out of shape myself, especially when I'm paying big bucks for rounds for the Argentine Mauser, Winchester 30 30. 30 06. I'm just grateful I didn't wind up like some of my friends who live in New York State. For years they felt relief that...

Some friends and I do the network thing. If one of finds a store with some ammo that's on the desired list the bat phone rings and the word gets spread. Sort of like this forum.....

I hope you folks have been writing to your elected officials regarding our right to bear arms and soliciting their support of the 2nd Amendment. Right now the Media is full of stuff about the government shut down but be assured the President, Joe Biden, Harry Reid and the rest of the gun...

Keep looking for the ammunition. I ran into a box of 500 rounds of 22LR at sportsman's Ware House the first I've seen since April of this year. So they're producing them again which is a good sign. Prior to this all I've seen in the last couple of months has been boxes of 50 rounds. I learned...

Jennings J-22 .22 cal pistol Interesting video on the J-22. Explains origin, some history, a quick field strip and some soda cans get plinked. I've done both the Raven and the Cobra with a complete disassembly of the first. I popped the J-22 apart and it's nasty inside. Probably hasn't been...

A friend called me yesterday and said that a local used sporting goods sale store had a Jennings 22LR semi-automatic I might want to look at. This afternoon I went over and it was a Jennings Model J-22 in .22 LR Caliber. The wooden grips are scuffed up; she’d been used for pocket carry and...

Totally understandable. During the last drought I had guns that I couldn't shoot, no ammo. I passed the first time on a great deal on the Ruger LCP because I couldn't get the ammo. A few days later I found some at a ridiculous price and ran into scroungers who were just crazy with their prices.

During the previous ammo drought I had a guy try to sell me a 100 round box of White Remington 380 ACP for $60. Guess whose shop I haven't bough a single round from since? We remember who does such things during these times and when things get better we ignore them. I've seen guys trying to sell...

I was picking up some fishing gear today and noticed one of the guys putting out some 500 round boxes of Remington 22 Thunderbolts, 40 grain, with lead round noses. They run 1255 fps out the muzzle. So they should make for a neat range trip with my latest purchase. Last time I saw the large...
