She got almost all the primers sucked up and BANG. Needless to say she got a new vacuum and I still giggle about it, even as I type this. The vacboom, I mean vacuum was destroyed? I hope she wasn't hurt. I think ole hakaman is going to use a whisk broom, gently. Haka Yeah she was fine. The vacuum l...

Once upon a time I was in the basement getting ready to hand prime 9mm. I was still doing each part of reloading in batches because I was using a single stage press. I dumped the primers into the round RCBS tray. Right as I did that my wife came around the corner and asked me to use a utility knife ...

Dillon 550B $55

With my job I do a ton of driving, from service call to service call. Some days I am 10 miles from home and other days I am 400 miles from home. I see a lot of signs for garage sales all summer long, if I have time I will stop at some. Yesterday I was about 200 miles from home working and saw some s...

Gen 3 to Gen 4 recoil. I shot a Gen 3 G17 mainly in USPSA and steel shoots. I had about 2500 rounds through the gun before I traded it for a Gen 4 G17. So far I have 300 rounds through my Gen 4. I don’t know if there is less recoil but it is different. I would say the Gen 4 recoil is more of a push ...

Another approach would be maybe get a local news person to cover public transportation showing weakness in the scheduling. But make sure thy ride maybe a different bus every day so the will get a better overall view. Start this by have someone complaining to the news media and let them do the inves...

Second steel shot of the season is this Saturday. There is a 40% chance of rain, I don’t care I’m still going. I shot a USPSA intro 2 weeks ago. I had a guy give me some tips on my grip and holster draw. I have been doing a lot of dry fire practice and I made it to the range once. I am excided to se...

I have been shooting for a year now. I have read many books and spend many, many hours bouncing around the net trying to learn as much as I can. I have good days at the range and bad days. I have shot a few USPSA competitions and one steel shoot. Not being that good of a shot I figured by shooting t...

I shot my first steel shoot.

Saturday I shot my first steel shoot ever. I shot some USPSA like matches this winter indoors but that is it. Even though the high for the day was 34, the sun never came out, the wind was gusting off the lake at about 40 mph and it was really muddy. I still had a great time. There were about 30 peop...

AR-15 research help.

As some of you know I am fairly new to guns. I shot a gun for the 1st time on my 30th birthday, which was a year ago. Up to this point all I have are a few pistols. I now have the bug to get a rifle, I want to get an AR-15. I have been doing a ton of research for the last few weeks, I don’t feel lik...

Truglo TFO's....green/green or yellow/green?

I want to replace the sights on my G17. I think I have decided on Truglo TFO's. I can get them locally and they will install them while I wait at no charge. I have done a ton of research and I have held them in my hand. I still can’t decide if I want all green or green in the front and yellow in the...

Maybe I will do a little review after I have shot the gun a few times. I did a bunch of dry firing and mag drops in the basement last night. The pre-travel Glock sponge is gone. The 2# less trigger pull is very noticeable. The trigger feels a lot like my Buck Mark trigger. Sometimes when I dry fire ...

I started out with red on the mags and slide. It looked a little to pink for me, so I switched to white. I may try gray to tone it down just a bit or even silver.

I finally have it how I like it.

I bought my 1st center fire pistol this last summer. I bought a G17 RTF2. I liked the gun out of the box, but than again it's the 1st and only center fire pistol I have ever shot. My son bought me some chrome for Christmas. I did a little coloring and I just got done putting in my trigger kit. I bou...

That is an interesting story. I am going off of memory here. The cab driver's lost all there pleas. If they refuse to carry any passengers they loss there cab license. The Target employees did get moved to other sections of the stores. If they refused to do there job they got fired. The whole cot (s...
