Ruger's LC Charger
I work on all of my electrical and carpentry projects in a basement workshop. By workshop, I mean a bunch of old machines strewn about and parked on tables, two work benches piled high in a state of disarray, and many… many 30 amp outlets along the walls and ceiling…....
The Performance Center® SW22 VICTORY®
10/23/2022 – I promised some firewood to someone who helped me out. Unfortunately, I procrastinate on such things, so now I am cruising for standing dead trees and last year’s tree fall. Five cuts and the saw seemed to be better at giving trees friction burns than cutting them down…....
Ruger American® Pistol Pro Competition
September 25, 2022 – Fall has come to Maine and leaves on maple trees are already turning. Ambient temperatures are in the 50°F to 60°F range and rainfall is almost constant. Procrastination is leaving me with a muffler and tail pipe to change on the thrasher and a tractor to…...

Smith & Wesson's New CSX

Restraint that places features and performance essential for defense with this type of firearm, while omitting the superfluous. That’s correct;…...
Bye, Bye Miss American Pie Part II
My prior experience with the Remington Model 700 CP was with a 300 Blackout 10.5″ barrel version. The firearm was very good, but the combination was lacking. Supersonic velocity loads were short range deer worthy, but it is a lot of gun mass for thet level of power delivered. Subsonic,…...
