I like the XD-E, except the grip is very wide compared to my CZ P-01. Springfield should have made it with changeable backstraps. Other than that I like it. It conceals better than my CZ, due to it's shorter grip.
I picked up another inexpensive Simmons Pro Target scope to put on my 1936 Erma single shot .22. I have one of these on my Ruger 10/22 and for 58 bucks from Walmart it seems fine for a .22 rifle. It's 3-9 x 40mm with a 30mm tube. It says on the box "Truplex Reticle", but it is actually a mildot...
Well finally a judge gets it. But it is in California, not in NY. Someone needs to sue Kathy Hochul. Californians do NOT have to pass a background check every time they buy ammo. MSN
Not sure if I posted this before, but I got an OWB holster for my Walther P22. I want to carry the Walther while hiking or small game hunting.
I have a pretty complete group of accessories for it now. I'm still not certain what ammo it likes. It had some hiccups with all 3 brands of ammo I...
Check out the Walther P22. Usually retails for around $250. Do not get the CA (California) model unless you live in NY. The CA model does not have the captured recoil spring. If you opt for the CA model you would want to buy a captured recoil spring from Tandemkross. Otherwise it's a pain to...
I had 20 bucks in rewards from Tractor Supply, so I ordered the Ruger 10/22 rifle case for my new Ruger 10/22. I have a CZ branded case for my CZ 457, so I figured what the heck. Get a branded case for the Ruger too. I already have a branded Ruger rifle sling, so why not.
I recently purchased a P22 CA model and even though it is brand new, it did not have the captured recoil spring. Thanks for the info. I bought the captured spring from Tandemkross, and what a difference it makes when reassembling the pistol.
I'm in Ulster County and this is how my new pistol purchase went. The dealer gave me a receipt with the make. model and serial number of the pistol on it. I took the receipt to the Ulster County Sheriff and filled out the form to add the firearm to my permit. They charged me $5.00. Then it took...
I only have a few long guns. A Beretta A300 Outlander 12 Gauge, a Mossberg Patriot Revere in .308, a CZ 457 American in .22 WMR (I also have the .22 LR barrel for it), a Ruger 10/22 Talo edition with the AA French walnut stock, a 1936 Erma E36 precision target rifle in .22 LR, a Savage MSR Recon...
I wanted an OWB holster for my Walther P22 for when I am hiking or hunting, so I bought one from Raw Dog Tactical for 40 bucks. I have a few IWB hybrid holsters and a few OWB all kydex from them. Very nicely made and made in America.
Here is the sign that the DEC posted, prohibiting target shooting along Cutler Road of the Vernooy Kill State Forest. I went there today and set up a target in the woods away from Cutler Road, to sight in my new Ruger 10/22.
I would probably choose my 12 gauge shotgun. Ammunition is usually readily available and relatively inexpensive. I can use it for bird hunting, deer hunting and home defense.
Some of the places where I target shoot insist that we pick up our brass. With a bolt action rifle that's easy to do, but with a semi auto rifle that can become a scavenger hunt. I bought this brass catcher for my AR, but I think it will work with the 10/22 also. It doesn't seem that it will...
The shooting range on Cutler Road, off of Lundy Road, in the Vernooy Kill State Forest, is officially closed to target shooting. The DEC was there today cleaning up all the crap some of you morons left there and they posted a "NO TARGET SHOOTING ALLOWED" sign. So nice that a few morons who...
Finally got a Ruger 10/22 Talo edition. Pretty nice wood on this one. Looks a lot nicer in person. I mounted on it a Simmons 3-9 x 40mm rimfire rifle scope that I already had. I had a hell of a time taking the factory screws out of the receiver in order to mount the rail. Had to place the...
A new poll shows 60% of voters believe owning a gun is necessary for self-protection https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/major-survey-hands-big-win-to-gun-owners/ar-AA1kCOQD?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=WSEDSE&cvid=b918e171cf1f44c59f74973bf6954f02&ei=11
I got two light bearing holsters from Outlaw Holsters for OWB winter carry with a cover garment. These are well made, reasonably priced and a lot more comfortable than my IWB light bearing holsters. This company makes holsters for many hard-to-find gun and light models. These two holsters are...
Got a two pack of magazine carriers for single stack magazines. They worked with my .22 and 9mm single stacked magazine. They can be used for IWB or OWB. They come with the allen wrenches to adjust the retention. They will not work with double stacked 9mm...
Here's a good one. This bill will allow ALL criminals to purchase firearms. Hochul is about to sign the Clean Slate Act — putting more New York lives in jeopardy
Upgraded my Walther P22 with a TandemKross "Sentinel" captured recoil spring and guide rod and changed the front sight to a Hiviz fiber optic front sight. If anyone is familiar with the P22, they are a pain to reassemble, if they have the guide rod and spring that is not captured.
Got my two new IWB hybrid holsters from Raw Dog Tactical for my new Walther P22 and Springfield XD-E. Also got another IWB holster, for the XD-E with a weapon light attached, from R&R Holsters. Lastly, arranged my Case Club pistol case for my current 3 pistols ( CZ P-01, Springfield XD-E and...
Update. I submitted my amendment to the Ulster County sheriff to add a new pistol to my permit on October 2. I emailed them to ask for an update on my coupon to pick up the gun. They told me it was sent to the court for the judge to sign on the 16th. THE 16TH!!!!! I asked if there is a waiting...
