Pretty Maids All in A Row . . .

Got a package from Sarco Inc. today – Thursday – which is pretty good since I ordered these on Monday – way to go Sarco! Now I can start burning the new to me 01911C Colt Government Model into muscle memory. I bought 3 of these awhile back and they run good – and IContinue reading “Pretty Maids All in A Row . . .”

Range Trip and New “MK2” Eyeballs

It was different actually shooting with the new lenses in my eyes – and it goes back to several things I have said again and again. Practice / Practice / Practice the 80X fresh out of the bath – ready to go back in its “spot” in the house I have shot the 80X multipleContinue reading “Range Trip and New “MK2” Eyeballs”

Allegheny Arms – Great Stuff!

I wondered about a 32acp for the Beretta 80X – it is a blow back operated pistol – actually has a surprising amount of recoil for a 380acp – the nature of the beast . . . I dug around a bit and came up with Allegheny Arms – I will do a specific postContinue reading “Allegheny Arms – Great Stuff!”

Range Day with Something a Little Different

Well it’s bath time again – which means a range trip happened – Yay! left to right – RIA 1911 / S&W M&P 45acp Compact / S&W 40caliber Shield / Beretta 80X Oh you dirty little thing . . . 4 mags out of the new Rock Island after the grip replacement – the firstContinue reading “Range Day with Something a Little Different”

Range Day : Smith & Wesson J Frame – 360-1 : and an update at the bottom

This is a pretty neat little piece of S&W history – pre-performance center – but – it is pretty much what a performance center gun would be eventually – incredible trigger – Scandium frame – titanium cylinder – really nice sights – pinned optic fiber front sight / adjustable rear sight – flat sided barrelContinue reading “Range Day : Smith & Wesson J Frame – 360-1 : and an update at the bottom”

Beretta 80X Cheetah – Out of the Box & A Quick Trip to The Range . . .

With a price point that’s not quite “high maintenance wife/girl friend” but certainly is NOT in cheap date territory – you gotta ask yourself – Is it worth it? ( SPOILER ALERT! Yes, yes it is. ) One good looker . . . For a .380 – or even some of the micro 9’s –Continue reading “Beretta 80X Cheetah – Out of the Box & A Quick Trip to The Range . . .”

The Hidden Advantage of Shooting Revolvers

Your actual mileage may vary – but – what turned the corner for me is I finally understood ” Don’t pull the trigger – Push the trigger ” – that thought process is what worked for me – Will it work for you?? I couldn’t begin to guess – but it makes you think aboutContinue reading “The Hidden Advantage of Shooting Revolvers”

Beretta 92X – update/correction

If you pick up a 92X without the wraparound grip adapter on it – it feels very 1911-ish . . . Gee – I wonder if that was intentional? Now this is considered a full size handgun – THIS IS CONSIDERED A COMPACT – 4.3 VS 4.9 INCH BARREL FOR THE FULL SIZE / THEContinue reading “Beretta 92X – update/correction”
