    Colt Revolvers.... coming back!

    While I think the older S&W's were better wheelguns, I've always had a soft spot for Colt's. I currently own a few. M1917 New Service, 5", .45 Colt, stamped "Ga.S.P. No. 6" 2 SAA's, both 4 3/4" .45 Colt, blue & case-hardened Detective Special, 1956, it's been loaned to my Mom for several years

    Help with 2017 training schedule

    I'm looking at putting together courses for 2017, starting after February. Basic Precision Rifle? Guerrilla Sniper? Pistol/Handgun? If so, "generic", or specific platform (1911 Operator, DA/SA Pistol with an attached SIG Armorer portion, etc.)? Carbine? Again, generic or specific...

    Mid length or Carbine length

    I have one of each, both on a 16" barrel, and don't see any issues one way or the other with either.

    Picking scope ring height

    Measuring for scope rings 1. Mount your base to the rifle. 2. Stack washers (or pennies, nickels, quarters, etc) in even stacks on the mount about where your rings would go. Build the stacks up until you get the scope at the ideal height that you want. 3. Take one of the washer stacks and...

    Beretta 92G decocker kit!

    It's about damn time! Now most any M9 or 92/96 series pistol can be converted to a G-version (decock only) with factory parts for only $55 retail. No more scrounging for police trade-in G models, or having to buy more expensive models just to get the G function. I'll probably buy 2-3 and throw...

    Thinking about going optic-less on my SBR

    All a matter of personal preferences. Some folks don't shoot unmagnified RDS very well. When my daughter was 10YOA she was ringing steel at 500yds with a DDM4v1, an Aimpoint Micro T1, and M193 ball. She learned to shoot on irons, though.

    The HABU is very interesting.

    Thinking about going optic-less on my SBR

    I prefer a small RDS (like the Aimpoint Micro) with BUIS, but there ain't nothing wrong with running straight irons. I'd prefer good irons to some of the high powered optics I see some folks run on an SBR.

    Para Warhawg

    I'm leery of PO's when it comes to reliability. Many 1911 gunsmiths won't work on them and I don't blame them. When you charge a set price per job, and an out-of-spec gun ends up taking 3x longer than it should to work on, cuts into your profits. With that being said, before PO came out...

    Recommend me a 22 pistol host

    I like the Ruger 22/45 Lite quite a bit. Got my daughter one in green. Shoots great with and without the Silencerco Sparrow. Looks cool as hell as well, which ain't a bad thing. If you're up in my neck of the woods, you're welcome to shoot this one.

    Ruger American 556/223 thoughts?

    I'm a ways up the road from you in Dallas, but if you can make it up this way you're welcome to shoot it. I've got a 200yd range out back.

    Ruger American 556/223 thoughts?

    About 3 years ago, when my daughter was 10, she expressed an interest in getting into rifle shooting. I didn't want to have a custom rifle built for her until I knew for sure it was something she was going to stick with. Decided I'd get a factory bolt action 5.56/.223 for her. Main issue...

    Make your own camo?

    The good thing about the Image Lock process is that he prints the pattern onto some sort of special film. The firearm has already been coated with white KG Gunkote. The film is applied to the firearm, over the Gunkote, and heat is applied. Some how, the image is impregnated into the Gunkote...
