    Sidearms & Scatterguns STI experiences/opinions wanted

    I bought an STI from a friend of mine about 6 years ago. He had thousands of rounds on it and I have put tens of thousands on it since. During a match the thumb safety broke. I called them up and had a replacement sent out. They asked me if I knew how to fit it myself and I thought that I...

    40 cal plated bullets

    I have shot thousands of plated bullets in 9mm, .40, and .45 for matches. If you watch what you are doing you can get some pretty amazing results. If you just take the lead load data and run with it you will get a nice plinker load. I have run them pretty hot in Glock barrels with no issues...

    Remington 700 5R .308 milspec HORRIBLE ACCURACY!!!!!

    I have a 5R that gave me the same accuracy fits that you are describing. When the barrel was breaking in (with a much less rigorus cleaining program than you used) it would only group with 155SMK handloads (44.5 grns Varget with a COL of 2.815). Those 5 round groups were just ragged wholes at...

    Maggie’s Shooting Back When Men Were REAL Men

    Some of those "trick" shots in the beginning of the video were pretty close to hitting the volunter target holder. After watching the qualification course, I can tell why Col. Cooper started his shooting matches. Tom

    Midway product notification

    I have similar experiences with Midway's notification process. Often I get the e-mail and by the time I hit the link they are out of stock. Last week I was on their website and saw one of my items was back in stock and I hadn't gotten a notification yet. I went ahead and ordered the item. It...

    Gunsmithing Input on what happened to this brass...

    Pull a bullet from one of the unfired rounds and weigh the powder. Also take a look verify that it is rifle powder. Btw, did the bullet leave the barrel? Guns

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock problem

    I had a similar problem when I started shooting Glocks. My grip caused my thumb to put side pressure on the slide. That slowed it down enough to keep it from returning back to battery. I could barely feel it when I was doing it. My shooting buddy diagnosed the problem and I changed my grip...

    Gunsmithing Input on what happened to this brass...

    First, let me say that I am very glad that you were not hurt. You could have easily been a statistic. It is very difficult to help diagnose what happened with the limited amount of detail that you provided. Had you shot your buddy's load previously? What velocity was it clocking at in YOUR...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hi-Cap .45 anything wrong with a P14-1911?

    I have a P14 and have put a few thousand rounds through it. The external extractor broke within the first 500 rounds and they sent me two extra replacements. One of which doesn't fit and will have to be worked on before it functions like it should. The other was a direct drop in. The one...
