General Discussion / Only one 10mm in the CCW class
September 04 2012 01:13:02 AM MDT
Out of 14 shooters, I was the loner with the G-29. Scored 179 out of a possible 180 points. 35 hits in the center ring and one flyer. Thought I nailed it, couldn't see the the one outside the group from the 15 yard line. Walking back to the target, there was a hole low and left. Dang it! Oh well thats how that one went. Still happy with the score. Fired 150 rounds total for the course.

My state allows CCW without a permit. I will be RVing for six months and that's the only reason I got one. Something I never would have done otherwise.
But, I have to say it was time and money well spent just for the training.
Learned alot from the instructor and would like to take some advanced courses.

I always thought classes were for people who couldn't figure it out for themselves or gunfighter wannabes. That was a total misconception.
Found I had some bad habits.
One was not getting the gun back on target after the shot. Another was the wrong grip on spare mags during reloads. There were others, nothing safety related.
The instructor said the first day that training can become an addiction.
He was right, it left me wanting more.

General Discussion / Re: Who carries the 10mm?

EDC the 29 in a Galco OWB. Winchester 175 gr. Silvertips.
After carrying the Kimber 10 for years, the Glock feels like a derringer.

The 45/70 has been getting popular in Alaska. Many are switching over from the 12 ga. pump for bear defense. Wild West Guns in Anchorage has been doing custom work on these for years. Lots of custom ammo available from Buffalo Bore and other small companies. Excellent choice even loaded with standard ammo.

You can check Gunbroker and Gun Auction. They do come up for sale, but not often. An excellent choice for kids and women. My wife can shoot this for hours with no complaints, doesn't have a recoil pad. The barrel is set up for light loads.

I have a 20ga. 1100 skeet on the 12ga. frame. The barrels are hard to find and don't come cheap. The 26" barrel like mine just sold for $311 on ebay.

The Grim Reaper, the mods and the members are going to make this the go to site for the 10mm. Off to a great start and I'm glad to be here. Thanks again.

If a site deletes the link its usually because they have a policy prohibiting it or they don't want any competition.

I posted a link to this website on the AR forum with th 10mm subsection. They were pissed. I got a nasty email. I sent a message back explaining my reasons for creating this website such as non 10mm members posting in the 10mm section, usually negative comments. This caused what was once a great place for 10mm fans to dry up and die. Their response was to ban my account.


That's about what you could expect. I have never met an AR forum that I liked. They all seem the same although one is definitely the main attraction for immature morons.
If you don't have one of the top rated guns, then just go away.
You got a question? Well you should have done a search first and not bothered us with this again.
When they do get going, the main topic is soon forgotten and off they go again twisting the thread into something totally unrelated and squabbling like idiots.

Getting away from that scene is a good thing.

There is a topic on holsters in the gear/equip. section here. I put up a link to a Galco that I like on page 2.

It does look real, but when I compared it with my .454, some things looked off.
Then I did a search for one and found out why.

Shotguns / Re: Magpul 870 MOE Forend Review
July 10 2012 11:12:54 PM MDT
The forend may need to be adjusted left or right to clear the barrel. I have run into this often. It can be centered on the slide tube but still hit the barrel. You can't tell until it's on the gun.
Take it back apart and readjust as needed. When the nut is tightened it wants to twist the forend also. Use a small screwdriver to maintain the space where the action bars meet the tube while you tighten the nut. If there is no room, remove some material.
This method works for factory forends. A forend like you have plus slop in the rails may make it a lost cause.
If you clearly have a gap on one side and tight on the other, it may be worth trying to adjust.

I use 00 buck for HD and slugs for BD [bear defense]. A popular load out for bear is buck and slugs loaded one behind the other. I did this for years, now carry all slugs.
Hard to say which is better.

Nice line-up. I have some wood grips for my Kimber but don't put them on.
Wood on stainless makes a gun pop.

I hear you about the weight on the PSS. The Sendero weighs 10 lbs. with scope.
Not a gun to carry around, but they are a solid platform for long range shooting.
I bought this gun for one purpose, Alaska open country moose hunting. It's only carried about 100 yds. up a hillside from hunting camp.
I used the .300 Win Mag for 20 yrs. Excellent do it all choice, doesn't have the heavy recoil of the Ultra Mag.

I've got a thing for these older Wingmasters. They are a much better buy than a new Express. The only drawback is no choke tubes. You can have them threaded or sell the barrel and get a newer one. Older barrels usually go for at least $100 on ebay and sometimes much more.
