By
June 23, 2009

Because my friends at FrangibleBullets.Com have ammo in stock! I keep meaning to give them a call and order a bunch of .40 SW for my new 646. The International Cartridge Corporation ammo they sell is top notch stuff, accurate and flat shooting. If you order from Frangiblebullets.com you’ll also get excellent service from...

Actually, Bob won both the Open and Limited division at the Pro-Am this year, taking more steps assert himself as one of the top shooters in the circuit right now.  Here’s the crazy part though…he won the Open division at the Pro-Am shooting his Limited division gun.

Michael is shooting the Wild Bunch at End of Trail and although he’s having problems with his ’97 pump, his 1911 seems to be running fine.  Remember, Wild Bunch matches are an homage to the great film The Wild Bunch, where the shooters in the game use “classic” 1911 style pistols, major caliber lever...

New Zealand gun control

By
June 23, 2009

A few blogs have been talking about how New Zealand has been going towards embracing more and more gun control/assault weapons nonsense.  It’s interesting to see this, because of the “non-USA” countries, New Zealand has a pretty active shooting culture.  ICORE and Bianchi Cup are extremely popular sports down there, and the New Zealand...
