I had a M77RL original style tang safety rifle in .257 Roberts about 30 years ago. Handy little deer rifle that also shot like poop. Two things going on: 1. The .257 Roberts is a great cartridge - it's been my whitetail round for the past 20 years - but it's also a difficult one to work...

Yes, NJ is a trainwreck. Prior to the Bruen decision I believe there were less than 100 non-LE CCW permits in the entire state. The idea that you have to qualify to LE standards is also nonsense - youre not a LEO nor do you have their duties. LE qualification is solely about liability for the...

Having had both, the LCP is long gone. Still carry the Bodyguard daily.

Same issues as the OP. Sent back to Ruger, returned with no improvement. Accuracy also generally pretty poor. The complaints about this model are extensive. Ruger crapped out on this design. Sold it, went back to my old .380s.

Great minds think alike! In 1988, I did the same modification to my 4" Stainless Sec6 to fit round butt Pachmayrs. What a great revolver, don't care for the GP100.

I spent 34 years in law enforcement, 20 of them as a firearms instructor, 15 years fulltime as primary instructor and rangemaster, and my last 3 years as unit chief of firearms and tactics training. This is my opinion: The .32 H&R Magnum is a very viable choice for self-defense. While there...

Well the time had to come... Ruger charging for replacement parts for the Mark II. Had a recoil spring assembly break and called customer service. $10 part and $6 shipping, less expensive that the Volquartsen replacement. I ordered two, since my other Mark II's of the same age might break one...

This. I could write a dissertation on the on the amount of fail in the Mini-14 - event the current models - that could be a great rifle, and instead is a mediocre (and overpriced) rifle.

Sadly, another lost opportunity. A short barrel on a frame that is too big and heavy for concealed carry. What I realize is few gun owners actually shoot or carry their guns. They are safe queens that sometimes get shot now and then. As much as I prefer Ruger, the new Model 69 S&W nailed it...

"Thanks for inviting me for dinner, it was delicious. But I can't help noticing there's so many dirty pots and pans in the sink now..." Am I the only one wondering what the problem is? You bought a production-grade revolver. It shoots fine. There are no malfunctions or finish issues. And...

Simple: Get rid of that Hogue and black plastic cr*p and put some decent grips on the guns.

+1 They've let the quality in that line go down the tubes.

I think you took the wrong meaning from that observation. Since you used that load for "decades" without a problem, that load was not a problem. The current loading manuals are the problem. The ammo companies, SAAMI and the loading manuals have all considerably watered down the loading...

Everything about CLP is dependent upon shaking the bottle. The miniscule amount of teflon is not the point. It is a combination lubricant and solvent... if you dont shake the bottle before each use you are not getting the consistency the product was designed for. You might, for example, be...

Agreed, in the range bag a small bottle of all-in-one is a good idea, I do the same thing. But it's like having a can of flat-tire fix in your trunk... not something you'd use to fix a flat if you had a choice. IMHO, Break-Free CLP is an example of product that works OK in some applications...
