Not sure I get the idea of a half-fitz. The article talks about a speed advantage. Maybe I'm just not quick enough but I can't say I've ever had a trigger guard slow me down. My understanding is...

Hell, borderline too rich for my blood, too 😀 Had a bonus check come my way at the end of a two year long project and decided to be frivolous and get a grail gun instead of banking it. That was...
Well, to be fair, could be rare in the sense they were mostly made in other calibers. My vague recollection is they made them in .357, .38, and 9 mm. I'm supposing .38 might be more common then...
Not much help, but researched one I stumbled acrosss a few years ago. My recollection is they got a thumbs down but don't remember why. I do remember they were made for FN by Astra and Astra's...
Manurhin MR73, 3", .357, with giraffe bone grips. A really great shooter but doesn't get out often. The range bag is usually full up with stuff for wife and stepson which means most frequently a...
Different bullet weight, different brand. Last time she was out it was 158 grain standard pressure and she was consistently about 2" high. This time around it was 125 grain +p and about 3 inches...

Circling back to discussion in a different thread, on grip impacts - the 640 shifted high and left after putting on the wood combat grips. It really prefers the Pachymahr Compacs with my...
CG 41332
I'm not sure what I think about this one. Framed around the 1977 capsizing of the Coast Guard 41' Utility Boat CG 41332 and the loss of three of its crew, it is intentionally divided...
The small footprint of a J frame makes for a finicky platform. Small changes in grasp or grips can have large impacts on POI, grouping, etc. even as much as ammo selection. One of the advantages of...
Nawww. Haven't seen a Shootout: 9 mm versus 45 ACP thread recently....

Day of the Sharks (plus that other one that snuck in the case for the range trip).

Beautiful day for shooting. Wind kicked up after we left the range but sunny and just warm enough...
Seen hitting the next lane's target thing a few times. Usually by rifle 'shooters'. Most notably, lane next us at an indoor range unpacks an AR with a huge scope, sets their target at 3(!) Yards,...
Their retirement was kind of a godsend to the Spruances (and maybe other ship classes). That fancily automated, reduced staffing engine room on the Spruances didn't hold up on its promise and the...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the double pins were used on the S&W windage adjustable front sights but obviously that isn't one. Changed base might be a good guess though.
Bred communicators those Germans, always good when they can wing in...

Got lucky on the HD. Stumbled on it looking for something else. It was listed at a fairly high starting bid forever. Kept looking at it through a few re-lists. Then they dropped the price to a...

Oath of Fealty
With .32 ACP you pretty much have to choose between expansion or penetration. Penetration being the more critical of the two, FMJ is pretty much the way to go. The 73 grain tends to be European...
