    New to me MkIII first run

    My MK III ran very well and was very accurate. I ended up selling it to finance a revolver. Eventually picked up a MK IV, not enough range time yet to compare reliability and accuracy--did end up putting in Volquartsen extractor---maybe more Volquartsen parts down the road. MK III was always...

    Two new 22LR rounds from CCI: Uppercut 22 LR & Clean-22 Hyper Velocity

    Maybe its time for a video with a side of beef either with the hide still on or with a denim jacket. Have some fbi gel on the inside. Punch or other brand--I'm not volunteer to be a test subject.

    Mark IV Lite Black Hills Special Edition

    Considering the price of a 22/45 lite and quality leather the Gun Broker starting bid is not too bad. I would not pay more. If one wanted the barrel/bolt to stay pristine easy to put on another barrel/bolt. Not much of a collector more of a user but I'm sure the buyer is happy.

    9mm carbine.

    Good price and two to boot! Where are those sales out there?? I've passed on several items recently,.......sure the money is there.......but........do I really need the item.......or the tax pushed the item higher than I wanted to spend.....At $480 plus tax I could live with the Digital Green...

    Turkey Season 2024

    Our season starts in a couple of weeks. I've got permission from the land owner. I'll be setting up a blind and using my longbow. Haven't seriously hunted Turkey' since about 2015 or 16. Have gotten one with my recurve before. If the birds get close enough one will be going down. Nice...

    Two new 22LR rounds from CCI: Uppercut 22 LR & Clean-22 Hyper Velocity

    Four of the video's I've seen show lack of expansion. 3 by Tools and Target 1 by Buffalo Outdoors. Only video I've seen with expansion was Plinkster's. Unaware if Plinkster has done any follow up videos. Definitely (n)

    Two new 22LR rounds from CCI: Uppercut 22 LR & Clean-22 Hyper Velocity

    While I don't doubt the test, Tool keeps changing the variables and in the last two tests only shows a sample of 1. Can't really build a decent data set on a sample of one. I appreciate the multiple shots out of the LCP II. Should have stuck with the Taurus for test 3 and multiple rounds. I'd...

    Two new 22LR rounds from CCI: Uppercut 22 LR & Clean-22 Hyper Velocity

    Second Fail with the Tools test. Velocities were up where they should be but expansion did not happen. I would have liked to have seen more than one shot both the Uppercut and Stingers. Does gel formula/density make that much of a difference? I've got a box of Punch, lots of Stingers...

    Two new 22LR rounds from CCI: Uppercut 22 LR & Clean-22 Hyper Velocity

    I've seen the Plinkster video and the above Tool video. Different length barrel's used by each person. I wonder how this effected the outcome of the gel test? How many people do gel tests on their own? I know I don't. Punch has been out a while. I've run 50 rounds through my LCP II...

    Experience with GP-100 ten-shooter

    I had a 4 inch .22lr GP 100 for a while. 10rounds was nice. I had no problems with it. I bought it used, used it a bit, sold it for what I bought it for. I also still have a SP 101 in .22lr, 8rds. While having the two through several range trips I decided I just liked the SP more. I've...

    Gonna order a new Mark IV tomorrow

    I had a 22/45 MK III Target---it was very accurate. Slightly muzzle heavy. Sold it to buy a SP 101 in .22lr when the 8 rd model came out. Didn't have any problems with the takedown-cleaning-reassembly. Used it on the range and in the field small game hunting. Last year or so I bought a MK...

    Ruger QC and my 2nd New Wiley Clapp SP101

    I don't think I would be happy about that. Make some phone calls. Send in the photo. Get a new gun.

    Ruger missed again!

    I looked on the Ruger website this week, maybe it was yesterday. They sure are making a lot of models of lots of firearms. One of the SP models I've been looking for is back in stock---IF I can find local I'll buy with cash. Don't want to order. Do I like everything Ruger has to...
