Range reports / Re: Glock 20 second range outing
May 31 2021 12:33:20 PM MDT
first thing i do when i get a glock is replace the factory sights...always a big improvement.... on my g20 i use Dawson adjustable with a fiber optic front ( my edc g30 has Heinie Straight 8 night sights)... learn to reload, get some ammo that runs right around 950 to 1000f/s with 180 to 200gr  bullets and work on it... when i was shooting steel matches regularly i would shoot 12 gauge shotgun hulls at 35 feet with my G30 to build confidence with my sight acquisition and follow through... you can get there just keep working... move on to heavy 10mm loads when you can call your shots and shoot bullet holes at 10yd...

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: VV N105 surprising result
January 17 2021 09:19:01 AM MST
VihtaVuori shows 9.9 grains as max in their data (180 grain)...which may be conservative, but when running 3 plus grains over a published max load results will most often be unpredictable and erratic...

Handguns / Re: Return of Colt Python .357 Magnum

if i were to guess they will never make even 5,000 of them... they will sell a production run or perhaps 2 then discontinue them to build collector value...

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: 135 gr nosler jhp
January 06 2020 01:23:14 PM MST
10.5g of long shot works well for me with this bullet... 1453f/s easy to control and accurate,, G20 w/KKM barrel... you could load it hotter, but i don't see much need....

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: 10mm with VV N110 ?
January 03 2020 05:14:04 AM MST
i use VV powders more than most others... N110 in 10mm will under perform... need a bit more case and more boolit to get it cookin... N105, N350, 3n37 will be more rewarding

10mm Hunting / Re: Hunting Black Bear with 10mm
September 17 2019 06:16:00 AM MDT
used to hunt black bear in the coast range of Oregon...steep ground and heavy brush... seen them take a double lung shot from a 7mag at less than 100yards, and get 50 to 75 yards into huckel brush where you had to crawl on your hands and knees to find and drag them out... love my G20, but I'm not shooting bears with it...

Gunsmithing / Re: Looking for a G29 ext barrel...

kkm lists a 4.5"  barrel for the g29... i my experience their barrels are way better than Lone Wolf....

i have a thureon in 45acp, fantastic carbine... very well made and completely reliable, i've run 2k+ rounds through mine in 6 or 7 months with no problems at all... my friends have chained me up so i don't rush out and get another in 10mm...
