i had the Kimber Custom II, 2 tone, and it was a series 80, as it had the Schwartz device...i liked it, but it had issues, sent it back to Kimber and got it back in less that a week in fact....!!!!!. great job, ran like a top after that...but things being what they were here, i had to sell...

The only XD I have had experience with was in 9mm and it was a compact. The gun ran anything you fed it and was super accurate but it carried like a brick. 10mm is a really good cartridge that’s making a comeback. I have a Rock Island gov’t model 1911 in 10mm that I changed all the inside parts...

Soldiers from the Army’s XVIII Airborne Corps got a chance to shoot down several First Person View drones with ammunition specifically made to deal with the small unmanned aircraft systems. The round breaks apart mid-flight and effectively becomes buckshot, which can make it easier to take out...

Hey gang! I hope you don't mind that I resurrect my old thread. Wow! It's been a while since I've updated this thread. Perhaps I should practice in my basement laser range more often. Ha! Sometimes I'll have a western on the TV for some distraction. I recently utilized my laser range...

The 9x23 Winchester had a short commercial life due to a patent infringement lawsuit between John Ricco & Winchester, which snow-balled on for several years and taking the wind out of the fine cartridge. Winchester does make a run of it every time Hailey's Comet passes, and Buffalo Bore offers...

D’oh! I knew that but totally brainfarted! Ugh and the week hasn’t even started yet! 🤣

I’d trade my FPC for the M1 carbine any day of the week!

When I worked Rampart Area, LAPD, the station defense rifles were a quartet of Winchester 94s, in 30-30. I was assigned to prepare a station defense plan. This was in the early 70s, when the Weathermen were attacking police buildings, and we carried S&W Model 15s.

I miss my MP5

I was issued a HK MP5 and we also used some Colt 9mm SMGs in my agency here’s the backstory. LE ran a lot of 9mm rifles (actually short barreled SMGs) for years because the (what we know now was exaggerated) fear of over penetration in buildings WTC. So LE went back to 5.56 AR stuff pretty much...

I also have "Strikeman" system. Use several days a week with striker fired carry guns. My hammer fired guns, not so much. 2lb triggers on Staccatos and the Prodigy comp. Dry fire is not a friend of light, crisp competition weight ignition components. Nice shooting by the way. Peace.

Greetings and Salutations, I was a bit distracted today and got a late start to the range but managed to shoot all the ammo I brought (only 200 rounds). It was an amazingly average day at the range. I wanted to try the Echelon 4.5F Comp one more time and get back to the EDC I've been carrying...

Talyn opened the Ace 45 site, warned of virus content.

Hello boys and girls! It was a pretty dang good day today. After my morning workout and coffee I did a little yard work and gave the apple tree its late Spring pruning. I hope it survives and gives us a few apples this year. If not, Mrs. BassCliff wants to chop it down. Then I got myself...
