    20Practical vs 204 Ruger

    I was going through the same decision a couple years ago and had decided to go 20 practical since I have lots of 223 brass and 223 brass will always be available and easy to get. I ended up not doing the project but that’s the direction I would go. You, and the targets won’t know the difference...

    Coated, plated, FMJ for sealed 9mm can?

    How do you remove the lead buildup from shooting FMJ with the exposed lead base? My centerfire cans I soak in CLR and run through my ultrasonic cleaner to remove the carbon, I’m just not sure about the lead build up which is why I was trying to find a bullet that would not have an exposed base...

    Coated, plated, FMJ for sealed 9mm can?

    I ordered my first sealed 9mm can and wondering what type of bullets I should run through it? New can is a Hux flow 9k and will be used on a Springfield Kuna and MP5 clone. My current 9mm can is a Liberty Mystic that I can take apart and clean and I have some leading buildup over time with my...

    Stolen gun via mail

    I had something similar happen earlier this year. Made a trade for 2 pistols. The member shipped the guns to me through his FFL insured. Guns made it part of the way to me to a distribution center and then stopped. After a few days of no movement I spoke to the post master on my end and the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

    For those saying they are slower with the dot, you just need more practice with the dot. When I transitions to dots I significantly lost speed, most of that was the initial shot trying to find the dot. Once the dot was acquired I was faster unless I lost the dot. The key, at least for me, was...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Handguns...show 'em

    I traded my sti 2011 for the PDP and M&P so I guess the 2011 is out. To explain, I have big hands 2xl gloves. My hands are too wide to fit the 2011 grip and my hands force the beaver tail up preventing the grip safety being engaged. Otherwise the trigger was amazing and very accurate gun. I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

    I have switched over to dots on my favorite and most shot pistols including all of my carry guns except my micro compact that I only use when it has to be as small as possible. Still have a bunch with irons that I practice with but carry and compete with dots. With enough practice I bet at...

    Suggestions for 9mm PCC CAN

    Are these tri lug adapters universal as long as it’s HUB? When I called silencer shop they told me it was best to buy the hux adapter since other brand adapter may be different lengths and not fit the blast chamber even if its hub……..

    Suggestions for 9mm PCC CAN

    Well I was bad and picked up a MP5 last week to go along with the Kuna. Is it best to go trilug or direct thread? I’m stuck between the hux flow 9k and the AB 4. I know the AB is direct thread only. Can anyone give me feedback between these 2?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Taurus G3c -cheap but worthy?

    I used to be pretty anti Taurus but picked up a tx22 a few years ago because my kid liked it and I have to say, it is very accurate and reliable and the trigger blows my ruger mark3 and old buckmark out of the water. I have held the G3C but never fired one. They do feel better in my hand vs the...

    Rifle Scopes Can buy new Burris XTR III 3.3-18x50 for $800 (normal MSRP $1500) - pull trigger?

    I really like mine. My 5-30s are better optically at the top of the mag range but the 3-18 is pretty good if you dial down just a little. I have had multiple xtr3’s and all have been rock solid. I sold a few and upgraded to the xtr pro and it’s a nice step up but for the money the xtr3’s are...
