    Sfar

    I’m over a thousand rounds with mine. Runs well. I replaced the idiotic handguard with a short one that exposes the gas block mostly. Epoxied it in place since the screws wouldn’t hold it with a...

    150s

    Most of my hog killing in the southeast has been with 170 Remington bullets. A few with Barnes 150 tsx or whatever they called them. I don’t think used 150s for no real reason. There are some very...

    30/30 in the field

    I’ve used 170 partitions, 170 Hornady and 170 Speer on game up to cow elk. Have a few 190 Barnes left, they might go further in meat and bone.
    Like maker says, I’ve shot deer and antelope with the...

    SFAR

    I’m not a fan of a scope in my face. I’m 6’5” and have had posterior cervical fusion from C2 through T2. A conventional mounted scope is always too close. The scout scope has worked perfectly for me...

    Specialist 10mm

    Finally the snow is melting enough to go hiking out north fork. I carried the Dan Wesson specialist 10mm despite the dire warnings from this bunch. 200 grain xtp and 200 grain cast flat nose. Eight...

    30/30

    Heavily compressed loads can bulge your case neck. 30/30 brass is thin and doesn’t takes a lot of abuse. Cases trimmed to 2.028? I’ve used that Barnes bullet, but none are loaded and I have a small...

    SFAR

    Mine runs perfectly with or without a suppressor. My last three shots today at one hundred yards went into a half inch group. 1.5x5 Leupold, resting over my pack off a standing bench I made.

    Super 38

    Bought a Kimber 5” lightweight 9mm last year. Nice pistol, runs perfectly with Wilson magazines. A super barrel is in its future I think. Make a nice carry pistol and beat the snot out of a nine.

    Super38

    Horrors of 1911 10mm

    Wanted to test the Dan Wesson with new front sight and an RIA with new sear spring. Went east since it’s really quiet out there. Good thing I took two 10mm 1911s cause we saw blame and wish dragging...

    Got a new front sight for the Dan Wesson today. It’s installed so we went for a walk out east. Glad we survived with such a terrible pistol. Didn’t see any wolves or grizzlies so I didn’t have to...

    X frame grips

    Paul 105 ran his grips into a belt sander before I tried it. Thank you Paul for the help and impetus to do so.
    These x frame grips only last about 3 thousand rounds before they wear through on the...

    Mine runs perfectly with Wilson magazines. Accurate and a great trigger. Going to be my field pistol after I get a taller front sight and install it. Last summer, it took most of a magazine to kill a...

    The hogue grips for the Smith 500 for perfectly on the model 69. And if you look at them, there is quite a bit of extra material on them. I belt sand off the finger grooves and lots of the base....

    M and p safety

    My five inch 40’s safety was a bit mushy. Took it apart. added some depth to the safety notch. Much better. It’s had over six thousand rounds of 200 grain and nothing has broken or worn out yet. It’s...
