Cold War Special
Very cool! Love those old Eastern Bloc handguns!

Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation to Acquire Battenfeld Technologies, Inc.
Sounds like they're just moving the accessories business down there and keeping the firearms at home where they can focus on it. Seems like a good move to me. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Where Is All The Pistol Powder?
Titegroup and 700-X I've had no problem finding locally. Just picked up some Power Pistol, BE-86, and Unique at Garden State Armory a couple weeks ago. Bought some HS-6 online. It's out there.

Palmetto State Armory F's up Again
I had the same issue buying ammo from them. Bought a bunch for a decent price while it was in stock. Never received a shipment notification, and then noticed they had upped the price, still showing it in stock. I called, emailed, and took a week before I got the answer. Several emails. Several people told me it would ship by this date and it didn't, and then finally one day it just showed up... I think it was nearly a month later. I won't be doing any more business with them.

Off Brand Batteries
I'm a Duracell guy but will use Energizer in a jam. If you can find Interstate batteries, I recommend them as well. I'll buy them from time to time because of corporate discount, but I have to plan ahead to make shipping worth while.

Uh oh, not sure if my credit card can handle that!

RTSP Feedback & Suggestions
Find a way to get a left turn lane going into RTSP so I don't have to keep making that U-turn when coming from the east.

Took a new shooter to the range.
Cool! Good to hear another success story. I shoot with my girlfriend too. She came with two Berettas. I'd say that makes her a keeper too!

.410 Bore Shotgun
My buddy got a Judge a couple weeks ago. The .45 LC is fun but the .410 slugs elicit giggles from grown men.

Dick's Sporting Goods Black Friday Deals
MSRP of $804. I've typically seen them sell around $700. Not all bad, just wish the wood stock was on BF sale too.

Brass cleaning recipe?
Currently using RCBS Ultrasonic Cleaner and it works pretty okay. Still have most of a quart left so I'll be using that for a bit!

RTSP Feedback & Suggestions
Pete- I've been nothing but pleased with any of my dealings with RTSP. I have purchased four pistols and currently have visiting rights to a fifth (paid off my Beretta Cheetah, and am waiting for my paperwork to come in). Each time the sales staff has been courteous, friendly, and welcoming. In fact, they often point me in the direction of the used cabinet whenever something new and cool comes in... sadly, most of your staff know I'm the guy who likes old Walthers and .380 guns and that's how I found my Cheetah! The range? Nothing but great experiences. The first day I was there, Kyle, the RSO was great showing me the facilities, and walking my friends through a shooting introduction. That day alone was the reason I made RTSP my home range. Since then, the rest of the RSO's have been extremely friendly, and always say hi when I'm there. Knowing I'm a reloader, they'll push a little extra brass my way just to make sure I go home with a little more than I came with. The only time I've had an issue was this past Monday. I stopped in to visit my Cheetah, bought two boxes of ammo and shared a lane with my girlfriend, and got charged for a third box that I didn't notice until I got home. I sent a quick email, and Brad replied with a solution within minutes. That's service! My only confusion? The in-store credit program for members. I've bought several pistols, a bunch of ammo, and have no idea how much credit I've racked up. The last time I asked someone, they said my account showed no credit. I know I've bought both firearms and ammo since you instituted the program, just wish I could use it to offset some of my costs. Other than that? Happy customer! I spend so much time there, I often joke with the RSO's about putting on a vest myself. Well, maybe it's not completely a joke!

New movie with lots of guns
Not a bad mindless movie with lots of gunplay! And the girlfriends a keeper... Seeing it was her idea!

Hello Everyone!
Enjoy, those Silver Pigeons are nice... but a bit out of my range for a casual trap/skeet shooter.

Who makes the best jeans?
I'm a Gap jeans guy... the 1969 boot cuts are pretty great.

Split Rock gun show this weekend
Buddy and his dad brought home a lot of reloading equipment for some fairly good prices.

Hello Everyone!
Welcome from Morris county... if you ever see someone at the range decked out in scuba t-shirts... that's me, swing by and say hi!

reloading supplies
I've been meaning to drop in and say hi to these guys again... they've always been great to me when I'm popping in for a pound or two of powder. Always BS a bit about what I'm reloading.

Handgun for First Time Buyer
I'd recommend the PPQ. Have an M2 in 9mm and it's gone bang every time I pull the butter smooth trigger. It'll eat anything I throw at it, and all the bad groupings are entirely my fault! All those up there are great guns, but I may just be a little partial

Advice on collector / old handguns
That PP sounds mighty nice especially if everything matches. I have a more recent Manurhin model that is a joy to shoot!

Browning 1911-380
I agree that it's a little weird. That's why I like it! Since most of my .380 is reloaded anyway, this isn't so bad!
-
Split Rock gun show this weekend
Best friend and his father in law are going and want me to come along but I have no desire to wake up at 5:30 tomorrow morning. Might take a casual stroll over there a bit later in the day.

Browning 1911-380
I've always been fascinated by .380 and have more guns chambered in that caliber than any others. I'd be interested in tracking one of these down for sure!

Only one handgun
Another vote for my PPQ M2.
