    Couple of new handguns....

    May want to go through the CZ and replace the springs before you rely on it for a carry gun. CZ makes a great gun but their springs are notorious for breaking. Several people I compete with shoot CZ and all had spring issues until they replaced them with aftermarket springs.

    Coonans 1911 /357

    10mm Auto 180 Grain Total Metal Jacket Box of 50 - Underwood Ammo 700+/ftlbs of energy is not so bad when you consider you have 15+1 in the gun.

    Coonans 1911 /357

    I haven't personally loaded for my 10mm yet. I have mostly been running 180gr Underwood that run right at 1300fps.

    Snow ruck march

    Was that your warm up? lol. I was station up in Alaska for just short of two years. Our basic load out weighed in right at 130 lbs. We typically moved from 8-25 miles a day. Some days were spent entirely on snowshoes. Coldest temp I saw was -51f. The amount of calories it takes to sustain...

    Coonans 1911 /357

    KWO, My Glock G20 has over 40k rounds through it. The frame is just fine. I have owned since it first came out in 1991. I tried to wear it out and failed. It loves the punishment.

    Federal 9mm +p+

    C-27, Be careful with +P+ ammo. +P+ is not regulated un SAMMI standards and can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The pressure levels can easily exceed the capability of your guns.

    Cracked magazine, malfunction or normal wear?

    Did HK produce the airsoft mags? How do you know they are "exactly" like the real mag? I am willing to be that not only did HK not make them they are made from an entirely different polymer. Trying to compare the two is ridiculous. That is like comparing a toy Hot Wheels car to a real F1...

    Coonans 1911 /357

    I have fired a Coonan .357. I have fairly small hands so it was not a good fit for me. The long length of the .357 makes feeding a challenge and cycle times are some what slow. Personally I would not rely on one as a woods/tweeker gun. Full house 10mm rounds are more than capable. Look at...

    Anyone shooting the Area-2 Championship March 6-8th? Any local Arizona people coming out to watch? It's at the Rio Salado Sportsman Club. Wife and I will be flying down to shoot it.

    Headed to range tomorrow

    Competition season has begun for me. This week I will hit the range three times. Shot two matches last weekend with mixed results. My advice for your range time, plan your skills training before you go. Run through those drills dry fire at home before going to the range. When you get to the...

    Glock mags

    Mine get cleaned after each use. Overkill for sure but knock on wood I have 0 mag related issues. The Glock followers can wear with high use. They still feed fine but they won't lock the slide open after the last round. The followers are cheap and easy to replace. I have yet to replace a...
