I'm still playing around with the trigger. I have a set of JP Rifles 4 1/2 lb fire control springs on the way. I'm looking to take just a hair more off the pull weight. I also found that I can mount the NC Star Zombie Strike green laser on the gas block rail without interfering with the image...
I located a DPMS Oracle at a local gun store for $599. It comes with a rebate that includes four 30 round magazines and a high end cleaning kit. Soooooo...I gathered together some trading material (guns that I had duplicates of or guns that were seldom if ever used) and stopped in to do some...
Sorry I took so long getting back to youl I picked up this shotgun at Clyde Armory in Athens (Bogart), GA. I was happy with the deal they gave me. Good folks there: pleasant, personable and professional!!
That M-22 is sweet looking. I haven't seen a Tyler grip adapter in years. Very cool!! I guess it would take an old coot like me to appreciate that revolver. BTW the SW1911 ain't such a bad piece of iron either!! NICE TOYS!! :hail::hail:
I have a Model 116 in 7mm Remington Magnum and just picked up a Model 110 in .22-250. The 7mm is a tack driver and has accounted for many deer over the years. I haven't tried out the 110 yet, but I expect that it is a tack driver also. Too bad for the coyote population where I hunt!! They won't...
I sold a Smith & Wesson M&P15 for a outrageous profit at a gun show a few weeks ago and was compelled to go out and buy other "evil black firearms". The first item purchased was a Mossberg Model 590-A1 6 shot 12 ga tactical shotgun. The stock is black synthetic and the receiver and barrel with...
I thought about one of these, but I loose a J-frame in my meat hook of a hand. Just too small for my paw! I went with the M&P40 Shield instead...more power and a bit more to hang on to.
I have owned one and found it to be an excellent pistol with the exception of that ultra-heinous trigger:puke:. The pull was so heavy that my trigger finger actually went numb after one magazine through the gun. Well, I searched the internet, found the cure for the trigger, performed the advised...
Two weeks ago, while hanging out at the range I noticed a pair of Smith & Wesson M&P 22's. I noticed how the pistol looked just like it's centerfire big brothers! My favorite pistol is my M&P40 w/Apex hard sear and Trijicon night sights. The .22 looks and feels just like it. It may be a bit...
I got my M&P .40 Shield from Academy, also. It only cost me $399. I found the Shield to be just what is needed for a concealed carry pistol. I like everything about it. Like the OP, I have a meat hook for a hand, so it took a bit of adjusting to the smaller pistol. After about 25 rounds, I could...
Most of us ARE amateur shooters. I've had no offers of money for my blasting skills. IMHO, your review carries far more weight with me than one stuffed full of tech and numbers. Sure, sometimes numbers are what is wanted or needed, but I'd rather have the gut feeling of a fellow shooter.
I...
I worked part time in a gun shop back in the early 1980's. We sold Ravens for $39.95. We never had a complaint about them and never had one brought back for a mechanical issue. They just ate everything that was fed to them and just kept shooting.
I always wanted to catch one of those...
I picked up a Ruger SR40c at the Eastman Gun Show at the North Atlanta Trade Center, in November (pause to allow time for booing) I bought it to replace the Taurus 740 Slim that I sold on the way in the show. My intent in purchasing the 740 was to have a small, easy to carry personal defense...
:(After about 500 rounds and a lot of frustration, I finally admitted to myself that I could not get used to the trigger on the 740 Slim. With a hand as large as mine and the large amount of take up for the single action (first strike) trigger pull, I found that I could not have any real control...
:D
The Kimber Stainless II is a full size 5" 1911 pistol. It is obviously constructed of stainless steel which we all know is resistant to rust, tarnish or discoloration under normal use conditions. These qualities make it an ideal outdoor/concealed carry firearm. It is not cheap. But in this...
