It was my first center fire hand gun back in the '60's but I sold it when I went into the service. I went back to it about 10 years ago. I use it in my Ohio CCW classes to show students what a good handgun should feel like. I have had several offer to buy it but it is not foe sale.
I have a pre-Taurus carbine in 45 colt. It is one of my favorites. I reload most of my rounds and use black powder substitutes rather than smokeless. The guys at the range kid me because I smoke up the range but of course every one of them wants to shoot it. I love the way it handles and it...
I use both Varget and H335. I have three rifles in 223. Two are AR's and one is a bolt. There is plenty of load data out there for almost any bullet. Just follow the starting load data and develop it from there. I have about 15 H335 loads from 36 to 80 Gr. and about 15 Varget loads from 36...

The front sights are not for the gas block. They are too short AND because they are plastic, Magpul says they won't handle the heat. They are designed for handguard rails.
I use the Gen 2 rear sight and I like it.
I have been trying several different fixed and folding front sights on my gas...
I teach Ohio Concealed Carry classes near Cincinnati at our gun club.
Last week we conducted our first ever women's class. 12 women participated and the class was a great success. Several were first time shooters but all qualified with perfect scores. One of our NRA instructors is female and...
My Hi Point 995 has more perceived recoil than either of my 223 rifles. One is an AR and the other is a bolt action. It is all in the equipment and the way it is designed. The 995 just slams things around. It is still fun to shoot. It is even worse than my 45 Colt lever action.
