Correct forum? Good topic - BORESCOPE

Not sure if purchasing a borescope is going to be like owning a boat (best days are the first and last day of ownership!). Took the plunge, waited 30 days for the "in stock" product to arrive (thanks Optics Planet - NOT!!!!). By chance, I have a couple new barrels, multiple slightly used/o...

WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!

Re: CC Mentoring Needed

Bersa Ultra Compact Pro (ambidextrous, by the way) may be a consideration as well.

Re: CC Mentoring Needed

The, absolute rules, for selecting a firearm are: Purpose Fit Ergonomics Unfortunately, you will need to make a trip. I would not suggest anything to anybody without that person being able to at least handle the firearm. Do you wear shoes that hurt your feet? Why would you buy a firearm that does no...

Re: Need some suggestions please

Don't forget, there is a nice selection of grips available for multiple flavors of revolvers. ...and...as my wife is in the same boat, she carries a 22 magnum revolver with Hornady Critical Defense ammo. Before anybody jumps on the bandwagon, until you experience how far BULLET TECHNOLOGY has evolve...

Re: Need some suggestions please

Ladies do not have the same strength in upper torso, arms, and hands as men. I would HIGHLY recommend a full steel revolver of the same size and an airweight to carry (if so desired). Start practicing and carry the heavy weight and eventually work in the airweight. Recoil arrives in two different me...

Re: Need some suggestions please

Also I totally agree with acloco, I would not carry reloads for self defense. Jim D May I ask why you would not carry reloads? I have never had a misfire after 1000's of rounds. To me factory ammo, being mass produced, would have more of a chance to fail then carefully reloaded ammo. MHO.. ...for t...

Re: Need some suggestions please

For practice, reloads is ok. Don't carry reloads in self defense situation. Would HIGHLY recommend renting multiple handguns (semi auto and revolvers) in multiple calibers. Three rules of selecting any firearm are: 1. Purpose 2/3 Fit 2/3 Ergonomics #1 has already been chosen. 2/3 are a dead even tie...

Yes, more than likely.

If anything, might keep your scope "optically" centered when zeroed.

Using a Lee depriming die solves the problem of removing the primers.

When EVERYTHING stays cleaner with stainless media cleaned brass, you will be! :)


Everything stays cleaner - dies, press, hands....and if you deprime first, the primer pockets are clean as well.

Re: Recommend me a tumbler!

Go with the stainless steel pin rotary tumbler. EVERYTHING is clean. Literally, feels like NEW brass.
