      First Shots With The Python

      Got out to the range for about an hour with 100 rounds of miscellaneous .357 Magnum and .38 Special. Figured I would try a little of both and see which I liked better in the gun. Until new grips are gotten, the Python will remain a .38 or a .38 +p revolver. The cosmetically gorgeous Colt...

      Got Bitten By A Snake

      Well, after years of wanting, I finally got my Python. New production 2.5 inch Python. It comes with service grips instead of targets. Feels great in the hand and the construction of the revolver is top notch. Figured if I was gonna get a Colt revolver, this one might as well be the one...

      Another Sig In The House

      Went out last night to browse and came home with another pistol. Sig P365 XMACRO TACOPS 9mm. Not a bad deal, came with 4 17 round mags, night sights, magwell, flat trigger….all in a nice compact package. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Bought Me A Cop Gun

      Figured since I had an old .38 cop gun, I needed a newfangled cop gun. Haters are gonna hate, but I bought a police trade in Glock 22. One of the mags still has a cop’s last name on it. Yeah, I Google searched it and believe it or not, there is a Baltimore cop with the same last name. Doubt it...

      When did you find the shooting “sweet spot”?

      I’ve been a member of this forum for about fourteen years. Some of you old timers have watched me go from that very first shotgun, to many shotguns, to the occasional rifle and gradually into handguns. You’ve taught me how to reload and appreciate sweet lemonade, etc. That said, it only took me...

      The Times, They Are A Changin’ (Gun-wise)

      A lot of you guys have known me for almost fifteen years. To say that this forum has been a bad influence on me or my wallet is an understatement. For the first time, I can say I have more pistols than revolvers. I have more handguns than shotguns. There was a time when folks thought I would...

      Got the Walther P22 To The Range

      Got out yesterday with my newly acquired Walther P22. Notoriously picky with ammo, this little guy proved himself worthy. It’s an older model (2005), so I expected some ammo issues. CCI Stingers- 100% reliable. CCI Mini Mags- 100% reliable. CCI Standard Velocity- 100% reliable. Aguila High...

      Picked Up A Walther P22

      Years after shooting one, I have finally gotten around to getting one. This one is a 2005 model. I know they are ammo picky, but so have a boatload of different flavors of .22 to try in it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Bought A New Pistol Today

      I was in Academy Sports today and found a bit of a deal. I hadn't planned on buying a gun today, but I figured the price was right for a gun that had gotten decent reviews, so I took the plunge. Stoeger STR9- striker fired 15+1 9mm pistol that is roughly between Glock 19 and 17 size. The...

      Got A Little Plinker

      I wanted something a little fun and realized I no longer had a .22 in the collection. I picked this up from a friend who bought a Ruger MKIV. This was his .22 plinker for a couple of months before he got the other one. Now I am back with a .22 in the form of a little Ruger Wrangler. I had...

      Guns that make you go “meh”.

      I’m sure we all have one or two that, while perfectly functional and accurate, really don’t get the old juices flowing. We take them out now and again and put some rounds down range, but the guns just aren’t exciting. Mine is my Ruger P95. It shoots great. Accurate as hell. 15+1 of 9mm...

      Finally Got A .357 Snub

      I was looking for something a little more practical for work carry and I came across this 686+. Seven rounds of .357, stout frame and a 2.5 inch barrel do just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      8 Years Reloading

      It dawned on me today that it was 8 years ago today that MDS members got me started with reloading by donating some old equipment. I am still using that old equipment today and took the time after a year or so long hiatus to reload some .357 Magnum and .38 Special. It takes a little longer...

      My 50th Birthday Present To Myself

      I’ve been a member of the forum since April 2009. You guys told me I needed to start reloading. I resisted. I’ve now been reloading handgun ammo for seven years. You told me to get away from revolvers and enjoy semi autos. Well, I have both 9mm and .45 ACP. Last but not least, you said I...

      Back at the range after a few months away

      Today I went out to the range for a little while to do some evaluation. I wanted to take my time and get more proficient with the Ruger P95 I have had for a few months, and try out a 10 round aftermarket magazine I found for it. Both tests were successful. I finally gelled with the pistol and...

      Picked up a workhorse 9mm

      Received a gift from a friend yesterday. A buddy of mine gifted me a Ruger P95 9mm. He remembered me saying I was thinking of a full size 9mm and he had an extra. It’s big, but smaller and lighter than previous P series pistols. I’m liking it so far. It won’t win any beauty contests, but it...

      Ruger Letters Have Improved

      I sent away the 10 bucks for the Ruger letter, knowing damned well it would only give me a month and year of manufacture. I was quite surprised when I got mine tonight and it tells me where it was shipped to as well. My previous Ruger letter for my Mini-14 did not have this information.

      86 Grain .357 Magnum

      Saw this today at a shop and was intrigued. An 86 grain bullet, 1650 fps for .357 Magnum. I generally use 125, 158, and I have loaded some 180 grain .357 Magnum, but this stuff might be fun. The down side is, it was about 23 bucks a box for 20 rounds. I don't want to spend a dollar and...

      1980 Ruger Security Six Function Test

      As noted last night, I picked up a 1980 Ruger Security Six 4" .357 Magnum. Got it to the range on this very hot evening. I was going to do a big write up, but did a video instead.

      It’s New Gun Day!

      Well, new to me, at least. 1980 Ruger Security Six .357 Magnum. I swapped the Rock Island 1911 I just got, but I think I did alright. I’m a sucker for a classic wheel gun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
