I have seen this happen with a brand new ruger .17 bolt action. While at a public range a guy pulled up and sat at the rest next to us. Started talking to him and he told us he had just left the gun show and wanted to sight in his scope. After loading he closed the bolt and it fired. We all...
Just watched the first episode. Was it realistic? Not really. It is for a good cause though. The real winners are the veteran organizations that get donations that the celebrities win. For that reason I'll probably keep watching. It's not every day that you get to see real members of the...
They simply the best firearm ever made. I personally don't know what the fuss is. I have three and do a basic cleaning after every trip to the range. Complete disassembly and clean about once a year. They shoot anything I can afford to feed them. All three have shot great out of the box. The...
Technically it is my wife's but I bought her a Taurus .25 and it has trouble ejecting spent spent brass. It gets caught sitting length wise holding the slide open.
I took my 10 year old to one for the first time in Newburgh at Red Brush. He rated as the most fun he'd ever had. It was a great learning experience. I noticed a significant difference in his accuracy and safety every time we have shot since then.
Just like a 1911 you should be able to replace the mainspring with a lighter one or trim a half loop off the spring. It will make the hammer easier and the trigger pull a little lighter.
Sugar Ridge FWA in Winslow, about 40 minutes from here but it is free and outdoor. There is a 25 yard, 50 yard, 100 yard, and a 200 yard range. It's a nice clean place to go. Haven't been to Strictly in years, owner is a nice guy, but annoyed by the people that work there. Wasn't very friendly...
I always look for the ones that are carrying whether open or concealed. I do it more for my own practice to see if I am as aware of my surroundings as I think I am. I'm sure I miss more than I catch, but I am working on it.
I am a southpaw as well and I can say the 1911 is my favorite pistol. I am up to three now and looking for my fourth. An ambi-safety is the most important thing for a lefty, the only other option I would recommend is an extend slide release, makes it easier to manipulate with your left index...
We can go back and forth with the open or concealed carry for months. I personally prefer concealed, but if your choice is to open carry then that is your choice. If you are doing so legally I am just glad you are carrying. I do agree with the folks that open carry in regards to this thread. I...
