Agreed! I still enjoy shooting J-Frames or other small frame handguns at 100 yards or more. Most people just don't have the trigger control needed to hit reliably at long ranges with duty type guns, but they can if you try hard! Witness this Mil-Spec. I confess I was amazed. I'm going to change out the trigger and try it all again. Roy H.
That's right, it tosses it out behind the side plate. I never had any issues with it but you do need to keep the grip screws tightened regularly. RoyHi,
It seems the slide action would carry the ejector port behind the scope's frame so that the spent brass would eject from the red circle area.

I've heard of and tried pinhole glasses. They seemed to help these old eyes read print without my reader glasses. I was unaware of this "Eyepal" patch for your shooting glasses. It seems to operate on the same principle. I might have to rig me up something like that to see if it helps.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
You're right, but if you're trying to wring out the best accuracy for a test and don't have your 20 year old eyes any longer, it sure helps. I've found shooting with the Eyepal sort of "makes" you try harder when you don't have it on. Roy H.
Cool to have Theeee Roy Huntington, here.
Xdman … It’s nice to be here. My first time with you all. Everyone seems civilized and such, which is refreshing in today’s world. I’ve tried engaging on other forums but invariably it seems to turn into sniping and other nonsense. Thanks for the welcome. Roy H.
Roy, I've enjoyed your writings in AH for several decades now. I believe we're the same age, and we seem to have a lot of "gun taste" in common. Good to have you here!
Hard to believe, but my first “gun article” was 1982. Yikes! Thanks for your kind words, Snake. Roy H.Roy, I've enjoyed your writings in AH for several decades now. I believe we're the same age, and we seem to have a lot of "gun taste" in common. Good to have you here!
I’ve known the name Roy HuntingHello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com. It is titled “Did You Know the Mil-Spec Could Do This?” and can be found at https://www.thearmorylife.com/did-you-know-the-mil-spec-could-do-this/.
I’ve recognized the name Roy Huntington for some time, being a huge, decades long subscriber to American Handgunner and more recently a follower of Guns Magazine, but only in the last few months a real afficianado of his literary articles and media presentations. The man can write, inform, and entertain! I’m Roy’s elder by about 5 years, but generationally a peer and near twin in passion for all things with triggers that go “Boom” when pressed…I can relate… Thanks Roy for your contributions to the industry and 2A community. Keep the grist coming!Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com. It is titled “Did You Know the Mil-Spec Could Do This?” and can be found at https://www.thearmorylife.com/did-you-know-the-mil-spec-could-do-this/.
I believe Roy’s point is that these have a beneficial place on the range when developing loads for or testing the accuracy of factory ammo in different firearms. That’s where they have a definite benefit for me. I’m quite certain that no one with any common sense or practical experience, particularly Roy, would suggest that you walk around town carrying concealed or attend a pistol class or compete in a match with one plastered on your eye ware, the presumption of which is a ludicrous attempt by someone uninformed to gain notariety by “one upping” a man of vastly more experience. The world is full of arm chair quarterbacks…
Roy, you are a scholar and a gentleman! Much more patient than I am with this sort of drivel… I tip my hat.
Actually I am, but I have a great deal of disdain for those whose remarks reflect disrespect for contributors like Mr. Huntington who takes the time to share his insights with us, which frankly, I greatly appreciate! I’m an ardent disciple of Thumper who said to Bambi, “If you can’t say something nice…don’t say anything at all.” Just saying…So I see you're here to make friends, then.
Perhaps you should take your own advice, there.
More than happy to remain quiet in the main, but as I get older, I find it harder to abide the pseudo authorities who makes assertions relative to subjects about which they obviously have no substantive knowledge. Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, but if they choose to take issue with an experienced professional such as Roy Huntington, I would suggest they wait until they have a pedigree that matches his or keep quiet until such time as they acquire one. Having said that, I'm through with this discussion.
Yes sir, and any other professional with his tenure and experience. I actually feel like I might learn something of benefit from them…apparently you do not, which begs the question, why are you here in the first place?
Perhaps you'd care to point out where anyone took issue with anything Roy said.
