Thank you, I noted only a 17 and 20. At any rate, the HP will suffice with its 13 and 15. I do have two 17 "Argentine", but they run only FMJ.

Interesting, but banned in Washington state. We now have a ten round maximum mag capacity excepting those firearms possessed prior to the new law. Fortunately I do have a FN High Power and magazines. I would like to see these newest handguns with an additional manual safety.

Interesting, but the gun is now illegal in all the Western Coast states. If you had one before the new laws were passed, you get to keep it and the over ten round mags, but you can never sell it in your state except through an FFL and it must be sold out of your state. Now let's assume you...

"Whatever works for you".

I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk, and two .357's, but if hiking I would rely on my Benelli M4 with Brennke 625 grain slugs, with the last one being 000, and all of them are 3". You are going to get nasty remarks from the granola crunchers, but that would be the same result with a handgun. If it...

Yeah, I realized that awhile after I posted it. Old age senility makes you forget things.

Recently watched a video (Youtube of course) that explored the fact that the engine of the Me109 was actually larger and should have been more powerful than the Merlin, but ran on a lower octane gas. The Germans actually tested captured P-51's but used their gas (lower rated octane) and were...

I alternate between 1911's (Sig Ultra Compact and Colt Gov't) and Browning HP. The Gov't and HP are used with a shoulder holster, and the Ultra goes on the belt.

Try Falco. I have had several holsters made with neutral cants. Falco will make whatever cant you desire and for many guns with different sights.

Use cross-draw almost exclusively on a belt and shoulder holster. It keeps the handgun from banging on my long gun if I am carrying one. It is far more comfortable sitting in a vehicle (especially the shoulder rig). Allows concealment of a longer barreled gun (again especially the shoulder...

Of all the figures in the Mexican Revolution, I only respect Emiliano Zapata. Villa was a bandit that joined the Revolution for his own gains. While he may be considered a "hero" by some Mexicans now (and then) Zapata genuinely cared for the Mexican peasant. I have read several books on the...

I must concur. I put a peep on my Finnish M39, but the distance to my eye is too far as like the 03. I reinstalled the original square notch rear sight. My 1917 Enfield is better as is the M1 Garand, but a set of 20 year old eyes beats any of the irons. The FAL and Arsenal milled receiver...

I see it as a means to orient the sight picture consistently on a bull's eye. It is far easier to aim at the bottom of the bull than at the center if the ten ring is so small it can't be defined. Use the six o'clock and adjust the sights until you have zeroed at the POA at the six o'clock. I...

My brother has several Kimbers in 3", 4", and the 5". He is not happy. I have three 5" Colt 1911's with one being a 1918 that I received as a Christmas present when I was 11, a Colt 1911 WWI "resumption", and a 1980 Series. All work without hiccups, although the original I wouldn't trust with...

In Washington both pistols are now illegal unless you purchased them prior to the new law going into effect last July. Fortunately, I already owned a Belgian High Power and several 13 and 15 round magazines that are "grandfathered" in. Can't sell them except through an FFL and must be sold out...
