Just a fun story I thought I'd share... I'm near 60 now and he's in his 80's, these memories are important. On this day in 1981, I was 15 years old. Strips was released in theaters. I remember it well because it was the first R rated movie my dad ever took me to, (A drive in too, remember...

I've gotten into competition shooting this year. I've always worn simple earmuffs and store-bought glasses and that work fine but I'm looking for advice on the best in ear buds for competition shooting where I can be protected but still hear the commands and timer. Also, while I'm here looking...

50-yard test day… pretty damn good considering they are all close-range weapons. Damn it was hot as balls out there today, Florida. DD PDW, Springfield Kuna, and Dan Wesson 1911 .45 cal. I was just curious, been firing these 3 weapons at under 25 at the local indoor range. Wanted to test them...

I'm having trouble finding the soft gun bag I want because I can't describe it right in google... so maybe one of you can tell me what I'm thinking. lol I'm looking for one of those soft paddle gun bags that's nice and simple. Meaning no outside pocket or anything like a typical gun bag. Smooth...

Weather has been terrible here in South Florida for a week or so but finally got some time to go out to the range this morning. I have taken my new Springfield KUNA to the indoor range already, just testing iron sights with it but today was finally my outdoor range with a purpose of finding...

Excuse my ignorance on the subject matter. I have red/green dots on my AR pistols, my Sig MPX, and even one on my Echelon pistol. They all installed easily and Zero'd easily. But I'm having an issue with my Holosun red dot, an older one that was left over in my closet and can't figure out if...

First shots from my new Springfield KUNA, fresh out of the box. Still waiting for the brace and front stop to ship, then will add a Holosun green dot, and maybe, just maybe a suppressor. Shot well, very well... no jams with 3 different types of ammo. What I wanted to test. Ya, I learned the...

Hello, After looking all over I found and bought the new Springfield Kuna, but all the brace ones were sold out, so I got a braceless one figuring to get an aftermarket brace. I did a Google search and got good recommendations but before I make a purchase decision kinda want to hear what...

I've always wanted a PDW just for the hell of it, not that it's a requirement to have one in your collection, but still always wanted one. I was going to get the one Springfield made but before I could pull the trigger, pun intended, they took it off the market and never said why. So eventually...

Good morning, Lost one of my screws off of my stock optic plate on my Hellcat Pro. I got two new screws, and ready to go in but then I noticed one of the holes, the one the old screw fell out of has a spring in it. Can't figure out how that got in there and what it's for. Anyone got any ideas...

Good morning, never owned a LPVO rifle scope before. I own red dots, EO Tech with 3x mag, and one of my rifles has a 4x ACOG... but I'm looking for a rifle scope that can be adjusted between close range and maybe up to 500-yard steel plates, getting into a little long range competition shooting...

I like to schedule range days... on "gun holidays", Hey, I'm retired, I get bored. 2/23 Day, 3/08 Day, and now 4/5 Day... My .45 collection.

Happy .308 Day! I only have two of them, both Springfields. March 8th. (I always try and celebrate 223 day, 308 day, and 45 day.... what can I say, I'm retired and get bored, so I make up my own annual holiday/range days. lol)

Excuse my ignorance on this one. I picked up one of those laser sight rounds to check your sights. My understanding is that when it's in the gun if the barrel is good the laser dot should be exactly where the fixed iron sights are, even thou in my check it was about 4 inches, 10 yards away from...

I thought this an interesting story, and video of a nice 1911.

The article on pepper spray got me thinking about sharing this taser video with you guys and gals. I mean my first experience with tear gas was in basic training in the Army. (1985) and then with pepper spray a few years later as a MP in the Army. But for the Taser, over 20 years ago my...

Reading up on getting a red dot for my PDW, well really, I prefer green. I don't really know to much about them but I keep reading I need a wide view. Now I understand what they are saying but how wide, and what is considered a wide view? Also, while I'm here, I prefer green dots, I can see them...

I just recently got into competition shooting, 2 official matches under my belt with the Springfield Echelon, with a better trigger, comp, and a red dot, so open class... but when I was practicing, I realized that I shot better and faster with my Dan Wesson 1911 .45 with iron sights. (I'm old...

As I mentioned in another thread, I'm looking into getting into competition shooting. 10 yrs of Army service, and 20+ years as a police officer. I can shoot pretty good, but never tried fast, and never tried competition shooting. Now that I'm retired and spend a lot more day's at the gun range...

I did a search here for "competition shooting" and "steel plate challenge" and was surprised to not find anything. Does anyone here participate? I was just wondering and looking for more info and tips because even thou I spent 10 years in the Army and 20+ years in law enforcement, never really...
