Re: Pellet (air rifle/pistol) carriers...?

Those pellet pens work fine for a break barrel rifle, not too handy for a fixed barrel with a loooong scope over the port. Shucks, I don't think they'll work with a fixed barrel like a ProSport or TX200 even without the scope issue. Still handy under the right circumstances. I've got one, but rarel...

Re: The Ultimate Pocket Shooter?? 9oz Loaded

There are some nice 22 Mag NAA mini-guns for sale even here in Commiefornia but I have my doubts that a 22 mag at snubbie velocities could "stop the threat" fast enough, especially with a body shot. Yes, it will kill, but will just take too long I think. -Tutt P.S. The NAA I handled had a...

Re: Pellet (air rifle/pistol) carriers...?

The proper size allen wrench carried in your tin of pellets will let you grab one up by inserting the allen wrench in the base of the pellet, and holds on to it while you insert it into the gun. Not fumble proof, but almost.

Re: Aging eyes and the 35 Remington

With ghost ring, and a dab of neon green or orange you can forget trying to center anything. Look thru the ring, and use a six o'clock hold. I do as well with that as a 4 MOA Red Dot. Naturally, YMMV 8)

Re: Ruger LC, 5.7x28

Snipped From An Article I just read: When fired from the FN P90 , the 5.7×28mm SS190 can penetrate the NATO CRISAT vest or a Level IIIA Kevlar vest at a range of 200 m (219 yd).
