You need to move on it. I live on 34ac & have 2 ranges 1,200 & will do some cat work to get 600 when I get off my butt.
Real nice to walk out the basement about 30' to the bench for a 100yd...
Man another nitpicker! I weighed the Kimber, & 325PD, & Shield & rough measured the size.
We're talking within 1.5-2oz with both loaded with the same 6rds. The width difference on the slide...
Had a Python & others but don't like the grips or the cylinder release. Gun to gun I much prefer the S&W M27. Not that the Python isn't good, but, too me, the M27 fits & is better all around for me.
I got the 45 Shield without safety for $299 at CDNN.
I just got the 45 Shield, without safety, from CDNN at $299.
So far I have only run about 60rds thru it, because, the mags are extremely hard to load by hand. Had to use a loader.
Been leaving...
As somebody said, m/l, carry often, shoot infrequently. These LW big bore carry guns are for "ease" of carry, not shooting.
You won't be feeling anything in your hand if your in a gun fight! If...

Shot about 60 rounds, 230 FMJ & 230 lead. The pistol cycled from the first shot & had no malfunctions. The trigger isn't bad for a DAO. I didn't get any accuracy at 12yds where I shot, but...

ewwww, really love the Browning Hi grades!
I carry a 325PD .45acp & it is about what a LW Colt Officers weighs. S&W also makes a LW 44Mag that should be about the same weight & size. I don't find the PD uncomfortable or to heavy. I would...

Just picked up a S&W Shield .45. Light little gun. The mags were impossible to load by hand. Used a mag loader & ran the rounds in & out several times & then could get the first 3 in by hand. ...

My wife has been cutting my hair (high & tight) since I got out of boot camp in 1965. Saved a lot of $ from 65-93 & even more after I retired. Of course now (& for quite a while) it's more just a...

I have used it before & just in the last 2 weeks for root canal pain (thank the VA for making me wait 10 days to get it done). It worked better than the T3s for that pain, but I don't take it much...

Depends. I just plain like to shoot. So I may do long sessions & usually shoot several different rifles + several handguns at a time.

Here is my "Select" Grade, a 1 yr option with CMP. This one has all correct parts, is almost new, & as you can see is about perfect. Scott Duff told me yrs ago that it is as nice as they come &...

I'm with you on the pistol calibers. If they come out with a good .45, I'd be all over it. Have plenty of the regular ARs from 14" to 26" sniper but as someone else said, would stock up on my parts...

Shot a bunch of 150-160GC yesterday & while all cycled fine, I had to really seat them deep to chamber them & none shot very good at 100. Best was about 4" for 5 shots. Tried several powders H110,...
