If it's as accurate as claimed, the 6.5 Creedmore would make a fun prairie dog gun!

That much clays would have been a bit hard on the BT-99!

It was time to reload shotgun trap loads, so I got my PW progressive press out and set it up. I knew I had previously reloaded trap loads, so I just filled the shot and powder reservoirs and started reloading. Something didn't feel right when the first wad was set, too much pressure was required to seat the wad. I loaded two more shells, but none of them made it around to the final crimp stage. I took one apart and measured the propellant and was shocked to see the scale read 46 grains!!!! The load is supposed to have 18.1g. When I looked at the powder bushing, there was no powder bushing. I'd forgotten that I removed the bushing the last time I reloaded. Now I know that the PW press will drop 46 grains of Clays without a powder bushing! This is the worst reloading mistake I've ever made and will never assume anything again.

This just can't lead to anything good. The anti-gunners will probably have a heyday with this video.

Springfield XDs 9mm - small, concealable, and fun to shoot. I had a Ruger LC9 - it's small, concealable, but not fun to shoot. The backstrap on the LC9 is very narrow and hurts the hand after a few shots. The XDs has a wider backstrap and doesn't hurt the hand even after a hundred rounds.

Barry,
What is a 'sighter'?
Thanks,

It's for my daughter. She hasn't shot it. I just went through another 100 rounds...........works great so I need to "test" it some more
This summer is Firearms 101 for her.
Yes, you should absolutely test, test, test!!

Great looking pistol!
How does the wife like shooting it?

IPB has released 8 bug fix releases in the past month or so. The forum software is stabilizing nicely and I believe we will upgrade BITOG in the next couple months. IPB offers many things that UBB never will.

I ended up biding on and winning a new SW 617 for $724 last night. I fondled the 617 and the Ruger at gun shows.....and like both but decided to buy the Smith'.
Thank me very much! Always glad to help you spend your $$. All joking aside, you will like the 617 - congrats!

As close as we in Illinois will get to owning a suppressor!

Sounds like you didn't get hurt - thank goodness. The ARX-100 interests me, but it's hard to justify anything but the AR-15. For me the AR platform just works.

S&W 617 is stupid expensive. Wow!
They are a bit expensive, but you should feel they shoot - awesome revolver.

A friend of mine showed me his Rohm 38 Special revolver. I've never seen a Rohm and don't know much about them. The stamping says "Rohm GmbH - made on Miami". It's not what I'd call a 'fine' pistol - it doesn't seem to be made to tight tolerances and doesn't have a great finish. What do you know about Rohm revolvers?
-
Pablo,
I've owned/shot both the Ruger single six and the S&W 617. Both very good learning revolvers, fun to shoot, and fairly low priced.

Bill,
I think this is your 1911 at Armscor's site?

~$350 seems like a great bargain.

I would love to go next year - should would be awesome to see!

Barry,
You think the price will be ~$5500? It would be neat to have one, but at that price, it's not going to happen!

You can now upload photos directly into posts - meaning you don't have to host at photobucket or a similar photo hosting site.

Is it really a new design, or design elements 'borrowed' from other designs?
Pistol fired from drone

There are already thousands of references to this pistol firing drone in Google search... I wish people would think about the consequences before posting a video like this on YouTube...
