Let me try it this way: For those who Open Carry in public: Why do you do it?

AI? So far, Accuracy International has been a friend.

In bear country, a hefty revolver with a lanyard ring and the lanyard running to your wrist might not be the worst idea. At least, that’s what a bear told me.

A semi-local club holds long range .22 matches and those guys love them. I bet at least a quarter to a third of their rifles have them. I don’t own any, but have looked through a couple and they seem very nice. I know they are pretty popular with airgun people also. Like many brands...

Just got home from 4-H Shooting Sports. The PD took the range away from us today, so we shot airguns inside our building at the fairgrounds. This morning, the Basic kids practiced air pistol and Sitting rifle. This afternoon, we ran the Advanced kids through all the standard rifle...

The Hoyt-Clydewell! At least, in the show it was. It was a JD “D” in real life. Although most of the time during the show, it was played by a Fordson. It was a shifty one.

A local guy did the machining. He does this as a side thing, and I’m not sure he’s willing to take on more work. I’ll check. I told him not to worry about keeping the rear sight. I had a replacement rear that screws inside the RMR body. Plus, he had never done a HiPower before, so I wanted...

I was also thinking of how perfectly flat it looked. Like it was grown on a table top!

Browning HiPower I finally got one in 1997. Although a .45 ACP fan, the HiPower was easy to shoot, but especially nice to carry. The shape and contours caused it to blend in like nothing else when carried IWB. Since then, I’ve switched back to the 1911 at times, but always gone back to the...

Forget the machine! That has to be the most perfect hay field ever!

I’ve never heard of Somchem either. I ran a search on it, and they have data on their website. .308 with conventional bullets: https://www.somchemreload.com/search?c=8&f=118

It may seem like a giant chunk, but the shape is so friendly to carry it will feel smaller. Try it. You'll see.

All I can say is it was done at my range.

They will go in a 1911 holster. That’s not the same as fitting as some makers say. A Commander length 1911 holster is closer in length.

TRGs are really nice.
