Re: went to range

That's one of my favorite lines from the movie, A Christmas Story and I just couldn't resist using here. I see Joe45c recognized the line.

Re: .22 short in .22LR Pistol ???

Re: GSG 1911 ejection concerns...

That target is upside down, so how do we know if you are really shooting high/right?!?

Pretty good grouping there, shows consistency.

Ditto to the previous comments. If you want to hand cycle, do so with the ejection port facing down. This way the rounds are helped by gravity and compensates for the weight of the bullet. Also,...

Re: My Son is Loves his Colt

Next time you all shoot, toss in a pair of safety glasses along with the ear muffs.

The best way to shoot for a lifetime is to shoot safely.

Re: Corroded looking ammo.

It looks like the the waxy lube on this old ammo has resinified (hardened). If so, then wipe off before shooting, it should be fine. This would no affect the powder.
