    Best S&W J-frame Gunsmiths

    I think one would be better buying some snap caps .. get physically capable of using the revolver by dry firing often and a lot left and right.. Spend the rest on ammo . Practice shooting it left and right .. Keep cleaning flushing out the action lube and repeat.. Practice shooting minus zero...

    My 7.62 X 39 rifles : (another ) accuracy comparison.

    Rather than comment directly on AK accuracy.. I think it would be more fun to post the below article for those fellas interested to read and then reflect upon the Cultural origins of Marksmenship and how it affects design, expectations and results..

    Defective.. worn out magazines... What do you do with them?

    Here is the deal on Training Mags as I see it.. if we do not experience and practice immediate action drills in response to various unpredictable failures to feed magazine issues.. IMO training is lacking .. I keep a butt ton of good mags around ( I bought more than 100 Chip McCormicks.).. Sold...

    Watch the video again.... Notice something odd about the Clerks pistol after the first shot? It looked odd to me so I slowed it down. Did he limp wrist it, ammo, maintenance? Something or more than one thing malfunctioned.. to make things worse he did not appear to realize his Pistol was out...

    Holster options for bib overalls

    Tanker's holster.. if you get one (There are some companies that make them still today properly).. make sure it has the original snap which is a post gripped on both side by a piece of spring steel rather than the common "Snap". If you want to go "Wiild" have the strap extended a bit and run...

    For hand loaders :..ever tried frangible bullets ?

    It has been a while however wheel weights in my neck of the woods have always been highly desirable for casting bullets and the alloy composition which makes them hard enough to stay together and stay on a rim makes nice cast bullets...

    Defective.. worn out magazines... What do you do with them?

    I am interested in what my fellow Fanatics do with unreliable mags.. For me they are gone from Service/Carry use as soon as I Identify them. I do not "adjust the feed lips, change out the Springs/followers etc to "get them working again" then try to put them back for service/carry use. As long...

    Problem with trading in a Kimber with a 5” barrel ?

    Magazines are an absolute critical component... Ammunition is next... As I always repeat Run 500 rounds thru any weapon before you count on it.. If it runs perfectly on Ball carry Ball. If you cannot afford 1000 rounds of Megadeath Rounds to know it really works.. Carry what does. You just...
