      Low recoil hunting recommendations

      I had a pretty nasty neck injury that even after surgeries there are complications. Regardless, I can't handle the recoil of my .308 or even a friend's 6.5 creed. What would be the lowest recoiling rifle that could take deer out to 100 yards (maybe 150) as most of my hunting is in the lowlands...

      Any opinions on the new CZ Shadow 2 Compact?

      CZ has released the Shadow 2 Compact, touted as a CCW version of the Shadow 2. While the idea sounds like a match made in heaven, but anyone else have issues with it? There's no firing pin block, so drop safety isn't high. If the safety is like the Shadow 2, it's not the easiest to manipulate...

      WTB Holster Beretta 92X Centurion

      Before ordering one off Vedder Holsters, figured I'd check here first. They seem to be the only ones who make a holster for the 92X Centurion. The 92 Compact with rail has a squared trigger guard while the 92X has the rounded one. Anyone local that makes custom holsters? I'd love to shop...

      Retraining stance?

      For 40 years or so, I've shot a modified Weaver stance, right arm locked, left arm bent, cheek on bicep like I'm looking down a rifle scope. Worked great for my left-eye dominancy. Had a nasty neck injury last year, had surgery, still dealing with issues, and that particular stance is damned...

      Pellet Grilling Questions

      Wife and kids got me a pellet grill for father's day. Given that this is Florida and humidity is always high, what's the solution for keeping the pellets from degrading? How long will they last in the hopper? I figure I can store the remainder of the bag in a home depot bucket with a lid in...

      92X Centurion Holster?

      I'm absolutely in love with this 92X Centurion GR, took it to the range today and it's the gun I shoot best of my collection. Is it the most comfortable in the hand? No, the CZ feels better. But, damn I just shoot it well. Now, downside, finding a damned holster for it. Beretta didn't make...

      Langdon Trigger Job in a Bag

      Anyone ever gotten and installed one of these? If so, which options did you go with for the Hammer and Hammer Spring? How much fitting was required or did parts go in like they were made for your gun? Picked up a new 92X GR Centurion and while it's got a good trigger, I'd love for it to have a...

      22LR Benchrest Build suggestions. On a budget

      Not counting optic, what would be the optimal build for a .22LR benchrest or NRL22 rifle on a budget? There's a lot of options, but it seems like the CZ457 is the best accuracy out the box outside of maybe a Vudu or Volquartzen. I'd very much like to build a 10/22 Summit rifle, but DAMN they...

      S&W model 1917 Revolver(Sold)

      Don't know much about it. Was my great uncle's (it's either a ww2 bring home or he bought it when he got home from the war, either way it was nickel coated at some point). Uncle passed in the early 90's, and this has sat in the safe for the most part since. I break it out every couple of...

      Springfield 1911 Target sight options?

      I've got a Springfield Garrison 9mm 1911. Shoots great, but the non-adjustable sights are a good bit off for me. Covering the 10-ring with the front sight to where you can't even see it, it's popping a couple inches low. Both front and rear are dovetailed, I believe the rear sight is Novak...

      Old steel is the best steel!

      1920's era carpenter hatchet. Finally got off my ass and made a handle for it. Always nice to put a near century old tool back to work! Laminated a few pieces of hard maple together with some titebond 3 (I didn't have any hickory or ash) with a walnut wedge in the top to hold the hatchet head...

      Most comfortable 1911 grips

      I've shot 1911's with finger groove grips, with rubber grips, wood grips, slim grips, palm-swell grips, etc. But I've never felt a set of grips as comfortable as those on my dad's old 1970's Colt Gold Cup. They're nothing fancy, just worn to hell and probably have a combination of skin and gun...

      SPAS 12

      I cannot nearly afford this, and it's not the best of shotguns, but there's definitely a cool factor to the SPAS-12 and there's one for sale on armslist. Anyone else got a bucket-list shotgun they've always wanted even if it's a piece of shit...

      WTB 9mm 1911 Mags

      Want a couple of spare mags for a 9mm 1911 govt. Figured I'd check here before I ordered online.

      Gulf Coast Guns has pistol and magnum pistol primers $94

      They had a good bit of CCI primers for 94-104/box and some federal gold medal match primers for 122 if anyone is in need. Sadly, that's about the best price I've seen lately. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

      Best place to order 9mm 1911 Mags?

      Yes, I know it's sacrilege to have a 1911 chambered in 9mm. That being said, where's the best place to find reliable mags for it without breaking the bank? I know Wilson Combat makes some of the best ones, but they aren't the only game in town. What other brands do you recommend and where is...
