      Sig P250 sum in 9mm

      I have a subcompact P250 chambered in 9 mm and I like it quite a bit. Yes the trigger pull is long and the reset is long. That is just the nature of a hammer-fired double action pistol. But the trigger pull is actually quite smooth. Mine has given me no trouble.

      5.56x45mm- Ballistics & Wounding Statistics - Short Range

      The answer probably depends a lot on what type of ammunition you intend to use. It is generally pretty well established that for FMJ 5.56x45 the wounding potential depends to a considerable degree on whether or not the projectile yaws and fragments when it strikes a soft target. The likelihood...

      What a Glock SHOULD have been, no plastic.

      Not ugly enough to be a Glock.

      Replacing a Glock Trigger

      The New York NY1 and NY2 trigger springs work in a fashion completely contrary to the stock Glock trigger spring. When you pull the trigger on a Glock, the trigger bar moves rearward and the cruciate (the back of which forms a sear surface with the striker lug) is forced downward by a ramp on...

      What goes in your range bag?

      I usually take at least a couple of bags at this point. One contains tools, cleaning supplies, and lubricants. Most often I carry ammo in an ammo can. Range bag might contain the following at any given time: electronic muffs, sharpies for marking targets, small ruler, small notebook with pen...

      Latest and greatest AR add-0n

      I have a small battery powered vacuum cleaner attached to the hand guard of my AR carbine that lets me clean up the donut crumbs from my truck seats.

      New at building AR's need help.

      A lower receiver vise block really doesn't have to do to much to be functional. I use one sold by Brownells that costs around $25, but if you have not already placed your order with PSA I would just add this to it...

      New at building AR's need help.

      If you have a bench vise or something similar, a plastic vise block that goes into the magazine well of the lower receiver will make it much easier to hold your lower in place when you tighten down the castle nut on the receiver extension tube.

      .22LR rifle options for neck/hand issues

      "Best 22lr ammo" discussions come up pretty frequently on rimfire central dot com, and the Project Appleseed forum. Most of the Project Appleseed 22lr events are shot at either 25 yards or 25 meters, and probably 3/4 or more of the participants are shooting some variety of Ruger 10/22. As was...

      .22LR rifle options for neck/hand issues

      If shooting a rifle with a conventional stock hurts your hand when you try to wrap your thumb over and around the stock just in front of the comb, try just resting your shooting thumb along side the rifle stock on the shooting hand side. Many good target shooters do this and feel it improves...

      .22LR rifle options for neck/hand issues

      Don't give up on the Aguila ammunition until you try it. I have shot a lot of Aguila Super Extra high velocity 40 grain round nose and had very good results with it in three different 10/22s with 18.5" taper barrels. I have had no reliability issues. Accuracy is very nearly as good as with...

      Need some advice, troubleshooting Glock 19 trigger

      The person who modified the trigger may have installed a reduced force striker spring to reduce the trigger pull weight. Did you notice the trigger pull being any heavier after the spring swap?

      .22LR rifle options for neck/hand issues

      I have not owned any Boyds stocks, but I too have heard pretty uniformly good things about them and have seen a lot of them in photos. I have never owned a tactical stock for a Ruger 10/22 but some that I have seen left me unimpressed. There was a Talo distributor exclusive 10/22 Tactical a...

      .22LR rifle options for neck/hand issues

      Yes. But in the Appleseed AQT two shifts in NPOA are required in Stage 3. One after the first three shots, and one after the next three shots. It is also easier to get confused on the Appleseed Stage 3 AQT. It is more intuitive to shoot 5 shots into each of two silhouettes than it is to...

      .22LR rifle options for neck/hand issues

      The AQT originally stood for "Army Qualification Test". This was later coapted by Project Appleseed using the same "D" silhouette targets the Army used, and renamed the "Appleseed Qualification Test". Revere's Riders is to some extent an offshoot of Project Appleseed. The Appleseed and RR...
