You and I are thinking along the same lines. I currently run a 9mm PCC with a decent quality 1-4x optic. It's a discontinued Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 (MOA reticle with capped turrets). It's a great...

It that a 45 degree angle with the front of the bullet pointing up or down?

People have done it for a long time. But that's not saying it's a good idea. They used to call it "candy cane" loading.

I've got well over 50,000 rounds (and maybe more than 75,000 rounds) through various Glock mags (different calibers) with the nubs cut off. They've been handled rough and dropped on all types of...
Take a razor blade and carefully cut the tiny little "nubs" off the side of the mag. Those nubs are what fit into the baseplate and make it difficult to remove.
Once you cut the nubs off, it...
I have had a good experience with a Wilson barrel in a G17. I would definitely buy it again. Here's something I posted on another site.

I recently put a Wilson barrel into...
This is exactly the problem. It's simple once you know it well. And the fact that you and many other USPSA types don't understand that perspective is a bigger problem (in the context of bringing...
The point of this thread is what could be done to USPSA to attract more CCW holder shooters. Simplifying the rules would definitely help. The last time I checked, the USPSA rule book (for handguns...
What do people mean when they say 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 stage layouts?
I think the biggest problem with USPSA (not attracting the average CCW holder) is that there are too many rules. To make things...
Fortunately, it wasn't me. Those pics were sent to me from a friend a while ago, about an incident which I believe took place years ago. Here's what I was told:
"This incident involves a...
The problem is real. See below:

The stuck shell issue is a well know problem with Remington 870 express guns. I've experienced it myself. There are a few different theories about the cause-the rough chamber that idahojess...
It's not that bad. I've shot a lot of steel, and I would still use that target.
I'd shoot the same side with 5.56 (not too close), and use the "good side" for close range pistol stuff. What...
Alaskapopo, what are the click adjustments, battery cap, etc. like? Quality or cheap or something between?

I think it depends on what you want. If you want to be really good or great with that gun, I think you're doing the right thing by sticking with it.
If you want to be decent or proficient with...
jlw, at the end of your article, you mention loaning your "revolver" to another student whose agency issued "revolver" went down. Were those really revolvers or were they semi-autos?
Joe Mamma
Of course it is. Just like him waiting several days to even say he was there is also BS.
I have not been following this whole story closely. But I'm guessing the only reason he came forward is...
It looks like there was at least one undercover police officer in the group of bikers:
"The undercover narcotics cop did not intervene in the beating out of fear that his cover would be blown,...
Dropkick and Sotex and anyone else who might be interested, I'm with Arclight on this.
During this class, I switched to a gun (but the same make/model as my usual handgun) with a simple 3 dot set...
I was in this class too. It was a great class and Travis is a great instructor. People often talk about Travis's accomplishments in combat. But what many overlook is that he is actually a great...
OK, here's another.
