    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol ever, which one??

    I love classic Sigs, and tend to gush about them. I guess I'm a fanboy. I'm also a realist, and know way more than I want to about how things work over there in NH. I carry a glock, but when I retire, I will carry a Sig again. Of course, if your comp pistol fails regularly, you will not make...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol ever, which one??

    Obnoxious is what you called people who like Sigs. I can think of some things to call people who think 2011's are duty worthy, but that would be counter productive, That was my point. I'm not talking about a SWAT team adopting a few guns. Lots of guys with real experience shoot competition...

    You obviously don't know much about the membership here. Which is to be expected. Nonetheless, I would not assume the level of knowledge of anyone here.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol ever, which one??

    Obnoxious, check. I'd love to see how you get your points across in real life. All guns can and do fail, that's not the point. Actually, custom 2011's have been put to the test, and did miserably. Yet they were still adopted for a very brief period of time, and since they continued to do...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol ever, which one??

    The Hi power is a classic, and it performs very well. Just benefits from a little care, like the 1911. As far as STI's...if your interest is a fun gun, great, but if you want a proven hard use performer, then a gun that has a long service record is the way to go. The Hi power is not my choice...

    Medium Range .223 Rifle

    I have a 14.5" KAC that I love. It shoots around .75 moa at 100 with 3 different loads. Some groups are a little smaller, and some are a little bigger, but .75 is about where it is at. When I mentioned this to a friend at KAC, he said they could not guarantee that level of precision, but that...

    And you would be wasting your time, as no finer gun than the 226/229 exists. :-)

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol ever, which one??

    .22 for sure. It is really the best way to learn. And if you never learn, then you still have a .22 for finishing shots on game. I would get a revolver, as you are learning how to shoot, not how to manipulate a specific gun. Learn how to manipulate a gun when you figure out which gun is...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting AR scope help

    If you are looking at the nxs, but want ffp, look at the shv f1. It is an excellent scope, and costs way less then the others as well.

    Training Courses Best Wind Reading course?

    Todd Hodnett's classes are often considered to be wind reading classes. He has shooting positions that allow you to face outward in every direction, so regardless of the wind that day, you can get it from all angles.

    Reasor Precision Game Changer bag issued US patent

    I have a patent on a piece of nylon. Wasn't my idea, and I think it is a bad way to go. Plus, I think that regardless of who can claim to have been first, there are better bags out there for my use. Thankfully, I already have them. My opinion and preferences aside, the nylon industry, of...

    Anyone use a TYR COMA? Having huge problems with it.

    OP, Post 29 in that linked thread tells the tale. I've always wanted to try a coma, and really like the old school alice setup when i don't need a modern gunbelt. I have a British version, as well as a Russian one, plus some old ALICE stuff. May have to finally try the Coma.

    Night Vision Pvs-14 weapon mount need help

    I have never tried to mount a 14 in front, so I have no idea, but I thought they weren't supposed to work well that way. Do you have any issues when you shoot? I have a Larue mount for a 14, but it is designed to go behind an aimpoint. That is far from good too, but back in the day, people...

    Precision reloading for your buddies...... What's your time worth??

    Maybe we all define friends a little differently. I would have no problem teaching a friend of mine, on as many occasions as it took, to reload on their own. My friends did that for me, and continued to provide excellent info and tips long distance, when I ran into a snag or was looking for...

    Advanced Marksmanship Best technique for consistent .75 moa or less shooting from a tripod.

    For some reason, I'm not getting notifications on this thread very consistently. May need to work on technique....:-) As far as free recoil, can you do that with a light .308? How about a medium 300WM?

    Imperfect shot compromise ?

    Hunting out west, let alone other situations, I have found my NPA compromised more than a few times. If you are wedged in a rock, you may be in the only possible place, and your rifle still needs to point at the target. Not much of an issue for pure accuracy, since the target size is fairly...

    KRG Bravo for cz455 ?!

    I wondered where the 180 went... Too bad I have a 452, this would be a sweet upgrade.

    Suppressors Ultra 5 on 12" 6.5 Grendel, Initial Results

    That compilation of weights is useful, thank you. I was originally looking for a PF upper, as I have long been recommending them as a plug and play setup for precision 6.5G use. I have not found a shot 6.5G barreled upper though, or even a lone barrel. I should probably give them a call and...

    SR-25, am I buying a name or true performance?

    1.3" sounds right to me. I have had examples that shot sub moa most of the time, but gilt edge precision is not part of the package. I even had a 14.5" version that shot sub moa, but again, I don't think anyone expects that. The truth is, no large frame AR is really there just yet. It is...
