A very nice gentleman spent a half an hour with me at the range when I was breaking in my very first 1911. In that half hour, he demonstrated how my poor grip technique was causing the 1911 to...

I love the contest, I just haven't been healthy enough to either cast up new subjects for photographing, or have items that fit the topics to have participated. I keep hoping another topic will come...

Both Walmarts local to me are still selling out of 22lr quickly in the mornings, but, unlike in the past, the counter staff admit it is "Moms and Dads who are buying it, not scalpers."

I still want either a 17 or 20 Velocitor, both are based on the 5-7 case. As for the 17hmr, I find I prefer it over the 22lr personally. Maybe it is just that I have gotten really really lucky with...

I was just considering this as I stared at a really nice Argentine Mauster that had been rebarreled...How would Black do in a bottle neck cartridge like this?
Moot point at this time, someone else bought it out from under me before I could get to the store to pick either of them up. Lot of good information and I appreciate everyone who stepped forward.

A local vendor has instock fired .38super brass $14 per 100 rounds.
Yeah, if that was an option, I wouldn't be here asking ;) it would have already been done.
