The Speer 130gr Hot Cor and Winchester 748 has worked good for me in my pre-'64 Model 94. I started using the 130gr bullet based on JimT writing about it.

Thanks!

Once one gets to name calling and insults, whatever professional relationship we had is over. Andy went above and beyond to be helpful. Think I"ll just go ahead and order that ladder sight for my Model 94 I've been putting off getting. Thanks for everything you do for the forum and the communit...

I just checked my shelf and I have 26 of them left in the box. I really miss them!

My dad died when I was four years old, November of '74. My grandmother came to live with us a week before he died. Other than her, I was never very close to any of my grandparents. But, my wife's parents are still very active, so my grandchildren (that we're raising) get to know and spend time with ...

I go here and the Frontier Sixshooter board, and a lot of the names are ones that were there when I joined in the early 2000s. We're all getting older, but getting the younger generations involved in anything that's not gamer related is difficult these days.

A dear friend of mine, who has gone Home now, had one of everything at one point or another. He was a collector and a shooter. I learned a lot from him, and miss him every day. For example, I told him one day I was thinking of getting a Remington 700 in .17 Remington and he told me "I've got tw...

I've got an Olight red dot on my Glock 43X MOS. After 600 rounds it's still holding up. It's my first pistol mounted optic so I didn't want to to all in just yet, but so far my older eyes really appreciate it. I'm hoping we've finally reached the point of having a durable and affordable pistol mount...

Steve in MO

Thanks for all you do for us here! I'm here wrangling grandkids and chickens. I started shooting USPSA again (in the Senior Division, as my granddaughter constantly reminds me,) shooting a little bit every day. Ordering more shooting books to add to the library.

Steve in MO

That's still good shootin', Jim!

Steve in MO

Are manufacturers skipping the last step of a throating or finishing reamer because most folks shoot jacketed bullets these days? Wouldn't surprise me, had a similar issue with an Ed Brown 1911 barrel purchased last year. Glad to hear everyone's getting the carbines sorted out. I was told by a majo...

Steve in MO

The Kahr handguns are really underrated, IMO. I've shot several of them, but never picked one up for myself. The all steel version would be my choice, as well.

Steve in MO

Me and Household 6 are still here, too.

Yep. Been shooting this Lightweight Commander for almost 30 years.

In the novel "Black Light," author Stephen Hunter armed his protagonist, sniper Bob Lee Swagger, with a Mini 14. Hunter is a gun guy, so apparently he has an appreciation for the Mini 14. I'd say you're in good company!

Walt, a heavier than normal hard cast bullet at moderate velocity will do whatever you need.

Askins was a National Champion pistol shooter, as well as an accomplished man hunter. According to him, he was the first to kill a man with a .44 Magnum during his time in Vietnam.

Retired from the US Army in 2009, then went to work on the shooting range at Bass Pro in Springfield, MO. Started my own training business which really took off after the Sandy Hook shooting. I was also working for a national training company, so I was staying so busy I burned myself out of training...

Oh BTW, if you're looking for an all metal hi cap 9mm, the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Metal is outstanding. Steel slide, aluminum frame, optic ready, pretty much good to go right out of the box.

Steve in MO

I use and carry a couple of different 9mm handguns, mainly because it's what most of my students use and it's the cheapest to shoot in competition. But my town has such a low crime rate that I'm pretty sure I can handle anything around here with a five or six shot revolver. Never have felt outgunned...

Outstanding addition, Jim!

I always carry spare ammo, even though my life doesn't entail chasing bad guys into caves or buildings anymore. Whether it's a revolver or semi, I"ve always got at least one reload. I've usually got extra ammo on whatever long gun I've got in the truck with me.

Steve in MO

Rio Bravo is never a bad choice.

Steve in MO

Andy has this really nice light mount that is no wider than the forend. Scott, I've got that light mount on a couple of my rifles. They've come in handy a few times when I've had to check things out at night by the chicken coop or when the coyotes get too close to the house. Andy definitely came up...

My wife got shingles by her left eye and on her head right before our oldest sons wedding. She said it hurt worse than giving birth to the boy and her appendix rupturing. Never seen her so miserable in 27 years together. Glad you're doing better! That reminds me, gotta call the VA and get my shingle...

Steve in MO

Having one of the short shotguns like the Shockwave and your EDC gun will suffice in most cases. An AR pistol will give you more rounds and distance. Neither is wrong, just different tools. Remember, you're also driving a 3000lb battering ram, so that long skinny pedal on the right is your best frie...

We made it to Spicewood,TX for my FILs 80th birthday parry tomorrow. Wish I had time to see some of the folks here, but I'd like to at least visit a couple of gunshops and museums before we leave Tueaday. I haven't been here since Leslie and I were dating in the early '90s when I was stationed at Ft...

I don't mean to offend or upset anyone, but the whole 'lost my guns in a boating accident, hehehe' thing has run its course. Some might think it's cute, but we should be talking proudly about firearms ownership, not how we 'accidentally' lost them.

Steve in MO

Heck, now I feel obligated to break my old Victory .38 just to assuage everyone's disappointment. I"ve had a couple of 'dillos come through the yard, so the targets are available.

Steve in MO

I'd probably go with the 454. I'd pair it with a revolver in the same caliber, so I could use a couple of different bullet molds and keep them running. Along with the obligatory 12 gauge loaded with slugs or buckshot and a .22 rifle, I'd think all bases would be covered. However, I say all this as a...

Remember reading that story years ago, Jim. Still as good now!

Steve in MO

Couldn't agree more, Scott. About 15 years ago we were living in Washington State and we were traveling down a back road outside of Olympia. We came upon this small gun shop and decided to stop. They had eight pound canisters of all the powders I use, something I couldn't find at any of the shops I ...

If there is ever a marketing class on 'how not to deal with controversy,' Bud Light and SIG should serve as perfect examples. SIG has done a horrible job of getting out in front of whatever issue is going on with the 320 series, perceived or not. I use Glocks a lot simply because most of my students...

Brian did a great job on that. You could tell everything he talked about was heartfelt, and that John meant so much to him.

Great picture, Bill. I had family in Medford growing up, don't know if any of them are still there, though.

Seeing how popular the .30-30 was during the Mexican Revolution, something like this would've come in handy. Probably would be popular on the border today, depending on what you were expecting to run into.

Nice! I need something like that here.

We just returned from St. Louis yesterday where we've been since Sunday. My granddaughter had to have her 6th hip surgery at Shriners hospital.

Sorry I missed your birthday JIm, we were in St. Louis at Shriners for my granddaughters surgery. Glad you had a great day!
