I'm looking for a specific type of box and tray - the kind you get with Wolf and RWS. The cartridges are held in the most compact form they possibly can while keeping them safe. The boxes you get with Federal, Winchester, etc are too large - too much void space between the cartridges. I'm only looki...

I'm about to order some 9mm Winchester Ranger 127gr +P+ T-Series RA9TA cartridges. Pricing is excellent for a box, but shipping adds a significant 50% to the cost. With greater volume (10+ boxes of 50 cartridges) I can get the boxes for cheaper and shipping isn't nearly as much per box. If you would...

I've been looking for a KelTec Sub2000 that takes Glock 17 mags for quite some time now. Found one that came with all the TactiCool accessories and a trio of genuine Glock 33 round magazines. Drove down to Richmond this morning and bought it, brought it home and took it to the range. Yes it fun to s...

I got one earlier this year, on consignment at Guns and Ammo Warehouse in Nokesville. At first, it didn't perform very well - it kept on jamming one way or another - Failure to eject, stovepipes, and failure to go back into battery. I did some research online, and many suggestions were made to repla...

I hear ya - Got mine on consignment at Guns and Ammo in Nokesville. I had to change out the recoil spring to a stronger one from Wolff to allow the gun to operate properly. It was failing to eject, stovepiping and even failing to go back into battery. The new Wolff spring has corrected ALL of that -...

I'm relatively new to firearms, and I only have a pistol, a Glock 17 Gen4. I just met a fellow today, fresh back from A-Stan. We were talking BMWs (he was getting his serviced and was looking for mods) and somehow the topic got turned to guns. I mentioned that I will be going to the gun show next we...

I picked it up for $85. Just say that you saw it on VGOF and they'll hook you up!

I just got a Streamlight TLR-3 from Sterling Safety Footwear and Apparel. They just got in a shipment of TLR-1 and 3s. Their price was reasonable and they are local!! I've bought other stuff from them in the past: 5.11 TacLite Pro pants, 5.11 Operator belt and a 5.11 Pistol Case. They have a pretty ...

The Ballistic FTE is cool - but it's WAY more than I need - All I want to do is log my range sessions with basic information and maybe pictures of my targets. $20 is steep considering I won't be using but 5% of it's capabilities.

I have a free account for the online app RangeLog, but I don't like it so much, particularly that it isn't an app directly on my phone.

Any apps out there? I've been searching but can't find one - just games.

This place is nice, very well thought out and executed. The warehouse definitely was not designed with such loud application in mind - you could pretty easily hear gunfire from outside. First off, the climate - Air conditioned AND well ventilated - I never had a problem with getting hot despite wear...

OK - I just got the stuff in the mail and installed both items in about 5 minutes - and that's including pausing and replaying the videos on YouTube!! Couldn't be any easier and what a dramatic difference these two very simple factory mods are. I don't know why they don't all come like this from the...

Red Goop? Probably Permatex Assembly Lube - that stuff is great of adhesion to parts until motor oil has a chance to make it around to all the parts of a newly assembled engine. I use it in all of my ratchets because as soon as it gets displaced from the gear/pawl action, it goes right back in - ver...

I'm testing out the different backstraps supplied with the G17 G4. I thought that I really liked the smallest size, but am finding that it's not easy to get a good grip and place my trigger finger well. While dry firing the gun, I was wondering if it was OK or do I have to use snap caps?

Well, I ordered the 3.5 pound bar and extended slide lock from Glockworld.com. Shipping was a little steep, but oh well. Seems like these are easy items to install. Will probably put another 200 or so downrange prior to installing the goodies. Also, to note, I placed an order for the Streamlight TLR...

I have Hoppes #9 lubricant, but it seems so thin in comparison to the copper lube. Same goes from the Break Free CLP stuff. I understand that Glocks will shoot under most conditions, including being dry, so I guess any gun lube is better than none. I guess to make myself feel better, I may just have...

I work on cars as a hobby and I have some high quality anti-seize in my toolbox. I see that my Glock came with copper paste as a lubricant on the slide. Would I be able to use high-temp anti-seize as a lube?

I'm shooting isoceles for now, I haven't been taught or shown Weaver yet.

I don't have that much experience yet with my gun - only 200 with my pistol, and another 200 or so with the rental at the range. I'm still kinda apprehensive of the recoil when it does go boom.

OK - the optics for range, and a set of GTLS sights for defensive carry - gotcha!
