      Leupold Freedom RDS

      Just picked up my first red dot. It says unlimited eye relief. Is there a sweet spot for red dots in general?

      Best Carry ammo

      So the FBI periodically tests ammo and picks a "winner" then buys a gazillion rounds over the next number of years. I realize they are "duty" weapons and us civilians carry a mix of weapons but The difference in barrel length isn't a very huge spread from the biggest competition pistols to the...

      S&W SHIELD M2.0

      I picked up a PERFORMANCE CENTER M&P9 SHIELD M2.0 4" BARREL from GymRatz and took it to the range last weekend. Man, can that thing shoot. I have to lift my head to use my bifocals to focus on the front sight which is a little awkward but I could get a lot of bullets through the same hole at 7...

      Firearms in National Parks

      It starts out saying "In areas administered by the National Park Service, an individual can possess a firearm if that individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing the firearm and if the possession of the firearm complies with the laws of the state where the park area is...

      ALIEN GEAR Holsters

      I never had an IWB holster. The Alien gear shape shift 4.0 IWB Holster looks and sounds like a good one. Anyone use one yet or a previous model? Thoughts?

      FFL question.

      I saw on the same application for Curios and Relics it asks if you intend to use your license ONLY to acquire firearms to enhance your personal collection? If you check 01 and Pay $200 and say you only want to enhance your collection then you could get anything sent to your home (once...

      Range Bill signed by President Trump

      This will probably be great for red states, not sure if it will help blue states much. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1222

      How long before plastic replaces brass?

      https://trib.al/5dZjlrT If this works out I bet we will have mostly plastic cases soon.

      Controlled feed (1911)

      So until recently I thought maybe I had a reloading issue. I had started running all my 45 brass through a bulge buster and still had the occasional issue where the slide didn't seem to want to go all the way home. Recently I was reading in one of the NRA Magazines that the 1911 should only be...

      Choke for Slugs

      Does accuracy change considerably with choke selection? I ordered several types of rifled slugs to try out. Would it be a fair test to just try them all with a skeet choke (or what have you found to be best choke) and whichever one does the best is the winner? Or might each choke have a...

      competition ammo

      So my hand loads for 9mm and 45acp are both at the upper end using titegroup as they ended up being the most accurate. I mostly use Montana gold bullets and once fired range brass. When you shoot USPSA IDPA steel challenge etc, do you load any different? For my first attempt (steel challenge)...

      Steel Challenge

      So from the looks of it the requirements for a steel challenge are pistol (or carbine), holster, 5 high cap mags, mag pouch (can two be in pockets?) and 200-250 rounds of ammo. Plus eyes/ears water sunscreen hat. I've read several times now that it's probably easier to try a steel...

      Leupold FED/MIL & L.E. VIP

      Maybe I'm late to the party but just found out that the VIP program gets you 45% off MSPR ordering direct. Probably could have saved a bit on my last scope.

      DPMS GII Recon loads

      Anyone building loads for a Recon? My Remington 700 5R loves 175gr SMK with just about any type of powder I have tried. I have a lot loaded up with 4064 and CCI BR Primers. I bought some tipped SMK bullets (also 175gr) but have never got to the range to test them. I was think I would start with...

      Cleaning Firearms

      Do you field strip and clean your new firearms as soon as you get them home? Do you clean them every time you take them shooting? The only time I do not is Wisconsin Deer hunting. It does not get cleaned until I get back to Maryland. Unless it gets wet, then I try to wipe it down. Otherwise...

      MSI members

      How many members does MSI have? How many active users does this forum have? Maybe it's not something that should be advertised, I don't know. How many members does it take before they take notice in Annapolis? I'm guessing most people that respond to the urgent action alerts are already MSI...

      USCCA Membership

      I saw there was a post several years ago with not much discussed. Just wondering if this is more widely used and if anyone has any first or second hand knowledge of how it works? It seems better than carry guard and they offer a 10% military discount and covers family members in the home. In...
