He's awful verbose for me, but he sure can shoot. Sometimes I have to mute his videos, too much talking and not enough shootin'. He's "pretty knowledgeable" but not infallible, either, he does muck up some stuff from time to time. We all do that, of course.

Magnum Research, it came to me earlier today! I do see a Magnum Research pistol from time to time, but I've never seen one with BUL markings. I'm curious and not ruling one out if I can find it, but I've never seen one, either at KYGUNCO, or Bud's, two of the largest shops in Kentucky, or at...

Before you buy any spare magazines, try out the pistol, and if it works fine with the supplied magazines, just buy more of them. I got mine straight from Tisas (VERY fast shipping from the home office). Most aftermarket outfits are selling them for $60, but getting them straight from Tisas can...

A "true" 2011 uses the same pattern magazines that Staccato, Tisas, Prodigys, Atlas, and some of the others use. The Rock Island pistols use the same pattern magazines that Para Ordnance pioneered long ago. The "true" 2011 magazines are easier to get these days (Checkmate, Duramag, Atlas) all...

BUL's distribution system could use some assistance, certainly. I have NEVER seen one. I have seen a few of their other brand (which I can't remember the name of right now), but never a BUL by name. And I live in Kentucky, with all those great gunshops located within a two-hour drive of me...

https://sdsarms.com/mac-9-ds-d-comp/ Before you go throwing away money like I might do, by all means check this thing out. Less than $1100 MSRP, and I can attest to the earlier model as a very successful and functional pistol, without the need for a used-car's worth of bankroll behind it. They...

I think I'd buy the Dan Wesson and spend the rest on ammo. I'm cheap (or thrifty), and I've been burned by "big name" guns before. That colors everything I do these days. We've got a slew of good 1911s, and the fanciest these days are Colts, and just two of them. The other 13 are Rock Island...

No FPCs today, they'd already sold out! And had 22 more "spoken for"! They have 55 more coming in the pipeline, but don't know when they'll come in. Apparently, there was an awful lot of pent-up demand for them. No matter, I don't "need" one, anyway. I just have a spare red dot sight that...

I have a Marlin 336SC (sporting carbine, it has a half-magazine), I picked up for $350 at a local pawnshop a few years ago. With WInchester 150gr. Power Points, it will shoot five shots into an inch at 100 yards. I cheat, and use an old M8-4X Leupold on it. It shoots almost as well as my...

Last week, when I was at my buddy's place and we were messing with my FPC 9mm carbine, he asked me if Smith was going to bring them out in 10mm and .45. I didn't know at that time, that Smith was going to introduce one this very day. It's the usual Smith folding carbine, based loosely on the...

The "problem" with RIAs, is, that they use the Para Ordnance magazines, which can be unreliable, and are a LOT harder to source when you want more of them. They aren't really a 2011 pattern. Since the OP was asking about 2011s, it leaves out the RIAs completely. 2011s have basically a metallic...

My vote, and my wallet, say buy a Tisas Double Stack, buy a Brazos 9mm extractor, pay a gunsmith a few bucks for a trigger job and fitting a new barrel bushing, and spend all the rest of the money on reloading components or cheap ammo. The Tisas is relatively cheap, at under $700 street price...

Found this on X this morning. If it's true, it's HILARIOUS!

This got me grinning................

I like this one.

I use an old shaving brush (remember those?), soak it in oil, then brush everything I see, excepting the grips, of course. I first started that when LSA was still a thing in the Army. None of my stuff ever rusted doing that. Re-apply your oil of choice whenever you can. Sop it down good. Wipe...

I've probably shot two pickup truckloads (3/4 ton) of cast bullets in my old .45s. The lead doesn't smoke, it's the lube ON the bullets that cause the smoke. So what? Your barrels last longer (lead is softer and isn't as hard on the barrels). I know I put over 100K rounds thru one pistol during...

In .45, it depends on which pistol I'm shooting, but overall, Federal American Eagle 230 ball shoots well, followed by S&B and PMC. S&B 230JHP is danged near match-grade stuff in my LW Commanders. WWB and anything else brings up last place, period. Dirty stuff, in my book. Actually, I liked...

.270 Winchester. There's no reason whatsoever to vary too much from Jack O'Connor's load. I did make adjustments for primer power and new lots of powder, just for safety's sake. I've killed a BUNCH of deer with this load. It earned the rifle the nickname "Old Death", as nothing lives long when...
