      Bad batch of .22 Stinger ammo?

      I bought a used S&w Model 41 several years ago after about a 30 year layoff from pistol shooting. (I had shot matches with one in the 1960's The accuracy was terrible with CCI Standard Velocity. A CS rep at S&W told me that the gun was originally designed for Remington Standard Velocity but was...

      I have bought my last gun

      I'll be 93 in 2 weeks and I bought a gun last week. I still shoot, too. Thank the Lord for red dots.

      Jump on it or Pass?

      I haqave been shooting a (an?) STI 9mm Trojan for many years. Incredibly accurate, tight, smooth, great trigger. STI is great if you can find one. Grab it!

      Elderly shooters

      I forgot to add that I am no longer able to shoot a revolver accurately. The arthritis in my right hand keeps me from cocking the gun and I am all over the place double action. Just something to consider.

      Light it up or not?

      One of the lights in my bedroom turns on from a remote switch that I keep under my pillow. I got the switch on Amazon. If this has a disadvantage, I haven't thought of it.

      Check your batteries@

      Would you save enough money to make it worth the risk ? I am cheap but not that cheap.

      I was in the camera repair business from 1969 until I retired in 1994. We ren into so many cases of leaky Duracells we referred to it as "the Duracell disease". We wound up using Energizers and Varta with no problem, A few years ago I was given a remote reading weather station. When I went to...

      Glock 19 build issues

      I ran into the same thing with a Sig P229 factory RMR slide. A long optic mounting screw was binding the extractor. Shortening the screw solved the problem.

      22LR Pistol Purchase recommendations

      I shot the S&W 41 for close to 60 years but it got too muzzle heavy for me. The Accurate Arms target for the 1911 is just as accurate for me. I used the iron sights for about a year and then put the optics setup on it. If you want to shoot std. velocity ammunition you would need their reduced...

      Anyone reloading .357 Sig? Tips, recipes?

      Sorry about misidentifying the 124 gr. Nosler bullet. Blame it on my advanced years.

      Anyone reloading .357 Sig? Tips, recipes?

      I just checked Midwayusa and they show Nosler 124 gr. jhp at about $73 and change for quantity 250. Personally, I wouldn't use plated bullets at magnum velocities. If you are ever in my area I would be happy to give you a couple dozen Noslers to try. I don't drive anymore or shoot magnums due...
