    Sidearms & Scatterguns Conceal carry 1911

    I've read a lot of good reviews on the Milt Sparks VM2. Might give that a try

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Conceal carry 1911

    I was just out shooting my TRP and each time I'm impressed with how well it shoots. I ran it out to 60 yards on a B27 target and they were all center mass. I've never carried this concealed so I'm posting this for people who may carry a 1911 ccw. What holster have you found works well? I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK USP 45 Tactical

    This will be mostly for range use, not conceal carry. I just really like the FDE and OD frames on the new HK 45 tacticals as well as how they fit my hand so I'll likely grab one of them. I just want one more .45 to play around with. I have a TRP that shoots well, just want one more and I've...

    Gunsmithing coating black bead blasted ar15 barrel

    I have a Krieger 18" compass lake barrel coming for a mk12 Mod1. It will be bead blasted and I need to coat it black. I was gonna try brownells gun kote but the reviews seem bad. Anyone have any suggestions? It will have to be a thin coat to install the ops model 12 collar after finishing...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK USP 45 Tactical

    I just got back from a LGS and they had the HK45 tactical in FDE, Black, and OD green as well as a USP tactical 40 and a MK23. After handling them, the HK45 tactical fit my hand much better compared to the USP grips. The MK23 is just huge lol. I'm leaning towards the OD or FDE HK45 tactical...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK USP 45 Tactical

    I've been doing some more reading about these and see they came out with the HK45 Tactical last year. Big Iron: Heckler & Koch HK45 Tactical Review - Handguns From what I've read, the HK45 is a newer upgraded version of the USP with removable backstraps, different grip, etc. I like the fact...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK USP 45 Tactical

    One more question...I'm left handed and am wondering if there is an ambi safety available for the HK USP 45 Tactical? Alan

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK USP 45 Tactical

    I have some more research to do on triggers, etc. I'm LH so I think I can get it with safety/slide release on right side as well as choose a trigger. I was thinking DA/SA, not sure about the LEM trigger. I know we use the ruger P85DAO (I think) at work and IMO they're garbage. I cant stand...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK USP 45 Tactical

    Thanks for all the replies! I think I'm gonna go with a .45 purchase vs the SIG 9mm. I really like the .45 and seems the HK's are one of the best to go along with my 1911 TRP. I have big hands so I don't think that will be a problem. I've also been thinking of eventually getting a suppressor...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK USP 45 Tactical

    I was thinking of a SIG mk25, but have been looking at .45's lately. I have a TRP but wouldn't mind a good semi-auto .45 to go along with it. I know SIG has the 220, FN has one, but the HK USP tactical seems to have really good reviews. Anyone have one of these? Alan

    Lapua 300gr Scenars and H-1000 advice.

    I have a 338 Lapua with bartlein 1-9.7 twist. I have a hammer load with the Bergers 300 Hybrid with 92.0 H1000. I had originally worked up a load with 300 SMK that were 92.0 H1000 also and loaded some 300 Scenars with the same load, but at an OAL to feed from MAG. I think it was around 3.630...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Contact Mike Lucas for a good bore guide for the SAUM. He'll make one for your action and rod you choose to use. I was referred to his bore guides a long time ago and have not looked back since ordering the first one. Very well made Alan

    New 6MMBR build just completed!!! Groups pics added

    I'll be doing a 6Dasher in the following months setup something like yours. I want a GAP in a tactical looking DBM setup. Already talked to George about it, just need to wait a little before getting things lined up. I've read nothing but good things about the 6BR and 6 Dasher rounds...

    Does BCM offer a Bolt Carrier Only?

    I wanted the same and just put my headspaced bolt from my bbl manufacturer in the bcm carrier and stored the factory bcm away for a spare. Always nice to have an extra one or two especially in times like we went through a year ago. Alan

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Are most using a Large Rifle or a LR Magnum primer for their loads? I have both Fed 210m and 215m. I probably missed this post somewhere. I know I read Pat used Tula LRM but said they were similar to 210M? Alan

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lone wolf 9mm for Glock 23

    I figured it would be a cheap way to train with the 23 as I don't reload .40 and don't plan to. I can still run some .40's through it since it will recoil differently.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lone wolf 9mm for Glock 23

    Anyone used this? It would be for getting more range time with my G23. Barrel and 9mm mags and good to go? Just wanted some input from people who have used this. It wouldn't be used for carry, just range. .40 bbl for carry. Alan

    Barrel life on 338 LM

    I have 1250 through mine. Bartlein Barrel using 92.0 H1000 and 300 Bergers. Still shooting well under MOA at 1k. If I get to 2000 with it still shooting the groups I'm getting, I'll be happy. I never thought they would last too long, but mine keeps on rocking. Alan

    Varget vs TAC for 77 smk loads

    Thanks for the replies. I have enough Varget for a longggg time so I'll just stick with that. I only load single stage with bushing dies and Chargemaster as well so I don't need a good throw powder. Alan
