    My experience is great gun-to-holster fit even for my Beretta APXs. The retention devices (belt clip or paddle), on the other hand, are subpar flimsy plastic.

    Yes, MCCs are for fee charging and control, not really for tracking. An issuer processor can elect to deny approvals for specific MCCs and/or charge different fees. Make no mistake, this was a HUGE...

    Have fired the Wolf 2.75" 12g 00 loads and found that they patterned very surprisingly well. Tested in both a 20" Mossberg 500 and a 30" Stoeger double barrel (Imp Cyl/Mod). Even the 20" barrel...

    Thought it significant that the ammo used was Israeli ammo loaded to +P pressures. Earlier, he stated that some of the 1911s suffered catastrophic failures during training. I'm guessing that the +P...

    This may sound odd but as someone who grew up working outdoors, in all conditions, I always related to his descriptions of hungry cowhands appreciating good food. :)

    Yes, the extractor channel can get really cruddy and cause malfunctions. Easy enough to change extractor spring while you have it out. After removing the extractor pin, you may want to re-stake it....

    Proud owner of a 442 no-lock. Learn the oiling points and you'll have a surprisingly good (relatively) trigger pull.

    Just my personal take but I find the Gen 5 23 controllability to be much more than with the Gen 4s. Maybe it is the thicker slides and/or the lack of finger grooves. Either way, I find the Gen 5...

    In my personal experience, a belt holster normally requires the belt to be tight (VERY tight if using a thin belt) to hold the holster securely. No so tight with a good paddle holster BUT you will...

    This mirrors my evolution in iron sight shooting over the years (I'm 58). For many years, I was a traditional bullseye "front sight focus" guy. For whatever reason, as I grow older, I have more...

    Thank you for the summary update. I participated in CMP rifle competition for about 10 years and enjoyed how they ran their programs. They are actually interested in competitive shooting - unlike...

    Love their carbide pistol dies and their taper crimp (only) die. One also can't beat their value in tools such as their handheld case trimmers (chuck base in power drill and hold the pilot/trimmer)...

    Not as much as with cast bullets but you do need to slightly flare the cases for jacketed bullets. Just enough to guide the bullet into the case when seating. If you don't flare, good chance of the...

    I just finished shooting up about 60 rounds of .45 ACP small pocket brass rounds using some old CCI SR primers and a standard charge of W231 under a 230g cast bullet. Everything worked just fine out...

    Add me to the list of those who really doesn't see an issue with recoil in the G20 - even with full power loads. Of course its all perception though.

    Another vote for luck, no sign. I'm down to my last 1k SPP and going to hold in reserve to give me future options on what to load. Same is true for my large pistol primers. In really good shape on...

    I can't read about lever guns without going through the regret of selling my old Savage 99 in .300 Savage. Why I got rid of it, I can't explain. Great hunting rifle and capable of going distance.
