Sometime back, there was a thread about how training has changed and I tried to explain how we trained and didn't do a very good job. Well, you just saw a training film that I watched several...
I missed this thread the first time around, so I will say this for Tam and the others that that talked about female shooters. I taught female agents Shot gun, Rifle and Pistol for a few years, and...
If this gun is in fact from the 1940s, how much of the 3K rds was modern high performance loads?
I went through firearms training with a state agency several times during the late 1960s. As I became the most accurate shooter in the agency I was made an instructor. I had no training for this and...
All the stories you guys tell about public ranges makes me very glad that I have a private range. In all my years in LE, I never had to use a public range, only leased or department owned. Twice...
We couldn't have too many guns in the U. S. because I don't have all the models that I want to own.
Lacquer thinner leaves a residue. I prefer acetone. I didn't know loc tite made a primer, butI think I will get some.
My wife had the same problem. She couldn't run the slide or easily pull the double action autos triggers. We went to an indoor range that has a lot of different rental guns and after trying several...
This type of check point has been in the courts many times in the past 50 years. If the officers have good reason to believe the law breaker(s) will pass through the check point and that every ...
I have Wild Blue satellite inter net and it is slow even using their fastest service. I was told by a Dish network employee (who installs Wild Blue for Dish) that Dish had purchased a satellite...
I sold my 46" husky with a 18 hp engine for $500.00 and a 5' 3 point hook up grader blade valued at $250.00. So I would say a very good deal if you are buying, not so good if you are selling.
I never noticed any more problems with stainless steel than carbon steel, however the only stainless revolver that I have run long term was a Md. 66 That was used as a PPC gun and was used almost...

I have not had the old recessed cylinder chamfered didn,t need it. The newer flat cylinder needs it for speed loading wadcutters, not so much for tapered bullets.
I used a S&W .357 for more than 25 years. The first 15 years or so, I used a Model 19. The last 10 years or so I used a 686. I presently have a md. 66 which has uncounted thousands of rounds of...
How often did you have to lube the gun during the more than 14000 rounds without cleaning?
Some of the after market alarms have a feature that turns off the fuel pump when activated. I had one on a Ford F-450 that had a hidden switch that you could use to turn the alarm on or off. When...
In my experience,lack of a ragged one hole group at close range is caused by shifting focus from the front sight to the target and back to the sight between shots. I think you can get the one hole...
It is for me. If you can only hold 5" and the gun will only hold 5", then when both you and the gun are at extremes, you can have a group of 10".
I want the most accurate hand gun I can buy. I may...
I took a 2 day class on this type of shooting about 25 years ago (not Hackathorn, I don't remember the Instructors name). The problem that I have with a hard focus is when there are more than ...
I bought my first S&W revolver in 1967 or so, and I bought my last in about 1985. I never found any difference between any of them. I don,t like the new model revolvers nearly as well as the older...
The last I knew, Ruger doesn,t sell receivers. How ever receivers are available from other sources. There are lots of old style trigger groups, barrels,bolts, stocks etc. available on the web.
I have also seen this with newer shooters when they do not have a good grip and when shooting quickly, they tighten the grip with the with the lower fingers thus pulling the pistol down.
From my experience, as a marksmanship instructor and as a shooter, this is a result of a well defined target and sights that are not suited to your eye sight. From your optometrist, find out where...
