In my shotgun courses the #1 shotgun for failures and malfunctions is the Mossberg 500. The vast majority of issues I diagnose with the Remington 870 are user error. I see no more problems with the 590/590A1 than I see with the Remington 870, but I see far less 590’s/590A1’s. I trust the...

I like the P320 a lot. I also like several other polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols. Like most other guns, you’ll like it or not. I find it to be accurate, reliable, and the best out-of-the-box trigger off any of the plastic fantastics. YMMV I’m having the frame professionally stippled...

I’ve talked to an Army Instructor involved in training for the new pistol. He states it is mostly user error causing the issues, e.g., limp wristing and riding the slide release. He stated there are not widespread issues. The author of the article I read obviously does not know firearms from...

I’ve never minded the price of AICS mags. They’re high quality.

The Scout doesn’t take proprietary magazines, it uses the AICS pattern mags.

Yep, Magpul is making polymer AICS-pattern mags. Nope, the Ruger Scout takes AICS-pattern mags.

Doable, but would require quite a bit of re-engineering. The AICS mags are designed to be used in a bolt action and, while double stack, feed top-dead center like a single stack. Magpul AR15/AR10 PMags are made to be used in a semi-auto, are double stack, and feed from alternating sides. It...

The center intersection of the Leupold mil-dot should be thicker than the intersection on a duplex reticle. If your vision is going bad, this may help you. Is the reticle illuminated? If so, this could also help you.

I prefer a mil- or MOA-based reticle because they’re handy for range estimation and hold-offs, but a few of my old hunting rifles have older duplex scopes on them and they don’t cause me any problems. For hunting with most modern calibers at the distances you listed, mil-dots won’t hurt or...

All upcoming courses are listed in the Training section here on SET. There is also a calendar on my website, http://precision-applications.com/ If you or anyone wants, I can add your email address to my monthly notifications list. I send out updates when courses are added to the Calendar.

Precision Applications, LLC is now holding the majority of our carbine/pistol/SMG/shotgun courses at a new range in Aragon GA. One of the many nice things about the new facility is the home-cooked lunches that we’re offering for a small cost. For all SET members, if you sign up for a...

Message received from a student after this course: Hey Shepp, I don't even know where to begin! That was such an awesome and very well put together class , I had a blast ! The one thang that comes to mind first is how humble you and Jeff really are. I have no doubt in my mind if either one of...

I highly recommend the belts from Jones Tactical. 100% American-made materials, hand-sewed here in Georgia. Top drawer quality and Richard Jones is a stand-up guy. I've got several of his belts, pre-set up for different purposes; carbine courses, Guerrilla Sniper, etc. Talking with him right...

Not uncommon on polymer-framed pistols.

Good folks. Not sure if it’s still the case, but many years ago the guy that ran it was a former British Marine Sniper.

Thomas Woods at Shadow Hunter Concepts said they have police turn-in HS Precision stocks for $140. That’s a killer deal if they’re structurally sound.

I would peen one end of the pin slightly and run it back in.
