    P90 designed for 10mm?

    I have both and like them both. I shoot the 20 a lot in USPSA, bowling pins, and CC matches. The 29 is better as a concealment gun. I shoot it enough to be proficient with it, but being smaller it kicks a bit more, and the small grip is too small for my hands. I put a model 20 mag or a Pearce...

    MkII gripframe on 22/45 MkIII upper- possible?

    As the title says, I am fitting a MkIII receiver/bbl assembly on my Mk!! gripframe. After a bit of fussing with the loaded chamber indicator- I tok the little beggar off, it is no more than a PITA- the bolt from the Mk!! fits right, but the forard hook on the gripframe won't catch the mating...

    Problem brands of ammo for Ruger semi-autos

    Well, here's the range report..... . . . . . . . . .. . . . FAN-EFFIN'-TASTIC! It ran without a single hiccup for the entire Bowling Pin Top match, which of course is all rapid fire. There were shooters at the match asking me how I got my bobbling pistol to run so well. I told 'em and offered to...

    Problem brands of ammo for Ruger semi-autos

    Thanks, EVR, you turned me toward what I think was a contributor to my problem. My MkII used to jam a lot. I put in a Power Custom extractor, that helped a bunch. I also modded a mag that wasn't feeding well. It got down to the occasional failure to close the bolt all the way. It wasn't often or...

    Hi-viz or iron sights for plate competition?

    That's OK. He also asked about "most" Since I shoot Speed Steel every month, I gave the benefit of my observations of competitors where I shoot. We also don't separate for sights. you compete heads-up in your caliber class. RU, sounds like ya already got at least some optics. They are fast once...

    Hi-viz or iron sights for plate competition?

    I shoot Speed Steel monthly near my home. Most competitors use an illuminated sight of some kind. Some go for the EOTech style, while others go more for the red dot style. I have a couple that will light either a red or green dot. There are some open sight users, too, but they are obviously...

    10/22 Trigger Job.

    I had similar problems with a 10/22. The polymer trigger group is dimensioned slightly differently than metal ones, and the parts that would make a nice trigger in a metal housing don't work well out-of-the-box in the poly units. I sent my whole trigger group back to Power Custom to get it...

    One Ragged Hole sights...Is this company out of business???

    Both myself and another shooting friend ordered ORH sights via Paypal. Waited over a month without a part or communication. Filed a claim with Paypal and got a refund. It took maybe 3 weeks to get it settled. Neither of us ever heard from ORH or anyone claiming to represent them. If you can get...

    Does anyone else question some of the claims on this forum?

    What I want to know is, did he save the 9 blocks he missed? :lol: I wrote a poem about all the great information I have found on the 'net these past 10-12 years I heard it on the Internet I know it must be true There’s Banners there And fancy font And wise men not a few I clicked on sites...

    Do I have the right Hogue grip?

    Next time I have it apart I will take some pics and get 'em out, Dale

    Do I have the right Hogue grip?

    You're absolutely right, that's a lock on there! I never paid any attention to the block, and sure enough, it has a hole in it for a key. And, there in the bottom of the box was a couple keys.... So seeing as it's the weekend and I doubt I'd get an answer from Hogue before Monday, I fixed it. I...

    Do I have the right Hogue grip?

    I have the instruction set for the MonoGrip #2 Unfortunately, my Blackhawk gripframe does not look at all like what's in the instructions. I thought maybe someone who's seen some old and new ones might know of a difference in late model BH grips or the mainspring/strut/seat orientation.

    Do I have the right Hogue grip?

    I have a NM Blackhawk made in 2009. I have a Hogue monogrip to put on it. It is marked for BH, single six, and Vaquero. For the life of me I can't figure out how it is to be installed. The spring clip and threaded portion that should grip the bottom of the gripframe and provide the threads to...
