A way to get focused on shooting, I supposed.

I haven't been shooting for about a month. When you are retired it's tough to work things into your busy schedule. At the end of September I was on the Outer Banks for the semiannual DGAF fishing, poker, lies trip. Went shooting yesterday and noticed a sign on the counter at the range office that th...

If it's a Dick's gift card it's already spent. Did you talk to the manager? It might be that this kid had some strange idea of company policy. At least when confronted with some obviously dumb idea, the response has been that they misunderstood the policy. Maybe I'll work going into the local Dick's...

Good shooting.

There is a rumor that it might be. :lol: , might be what? A dry weekend? I guess Richmond has gotten all the rain Roanoke has, with just a few hours difference. This fall seems more like we're living in Seattle. The rain moved out early this morning and Richmond will be sunny for the next 10 days a...

I haven't seen any at my LGS, so the "taking the ammo industry by storm" is slow moving.

I shot my LC9 high until I became one with the grip and the sights, which took a bit longer than it should. It might have done better for me if I had a laser, properly bore sighted. That being said, at 20-30 feet I don't need to aim the pistol. bgreene, your summary on using the laser sights was pre...

The laser does show up your faults. Actually, it shows that you can't hold the gun perfectly steady. If you are getting an SD snubbie in 6", you may be doing ok, if you can hold those 6" when your pulse is doing 200.

You need one to replace your 442. Also, you need to start using the security system. Just pull out the key and unlock the revolver when you need to use it. looks like a real help to the BG, keep the4 42, I do that sounds MY Airweight 442 doesn't have the keylock.... yours does :shock: I've thought ...

It's a selling feature. Not sure I'd want a clear polyacrylate cover to scratch up. Did you notice the way they were advertising the internal lock? It's the Taurus Security System. If you have to put one on the pistol, why not accentuate the positive? I have a 94 which is essentially the same gun in...

I put a Crimson Trace laser on my M&P9. It's great because it is built into the grip back strap. The red works quite well in dark or low light. You can leave the power on and the laser is activated by your grip on the pistol grip. The downside. You can't see the red laser on a bright day limiting th...
