My best friend taught me the fine art of reloading 49 years ago. I consider it to be one of the most useful shooting skills I have ever learned. Your mileage may vary. You may not save much by reloading short term but in time, it will save you $$$$. If you shoot an unusual cartridge, you will...

Does anyone know if the same MGW 307 sight pusher I have been using for P226 & P229 will work for a P320 slide? Thanks for your help.

What’s the best way to patch a hole in a water storage tank? Our creek ran over its banks this year and washed a lot of debris downstream. It looks like a large hunk of driftwood poked a small hole in one of the water storage tanks. Can anyone offer some advice or recommend a good patch for...

Whatever happened to the SBInet towers aka Virtual Fence they spent all that $$$$ on a while back? I saw some they installed near Arrivaca and then never heard any more about them. Seems to me they would be far less unsightly than shipping containers. Does anyone know if those towers are still...

I've been using one of these Kolpin cases on my Honda Pioneer for a little over a year. It has worked well. I fastened it to my roll bar behind the seat. It is readily accessible but is mostly out of sight...

My first pistol was a Colt Series 70 Mark IV in .45 ACP that I paid the full retail price of $125 for in 1971. I’ve had a number of different 1911s since and have been hand loading .45 ACP for 47 yr.

My home is in a rural area. I have been using Verizon for my phone service, both cellular and wireless land line. Cell reception is very poor and unreliable here at my home so I rely mainly on the wireless home phone device. For whatever reason, the wireless home phone works far better than my...

Does anyone know where I can take some scrap brass for recycling in the Sierra Vista or Tucson area? Seems the scrap buyers in Sierra Vista have closed. Thanks for your help.

I've been selling some of my extra factory ammo to my friend who owns our local gun shop. He has treated me well in the past so I figure it's my turn to help him a bit. He needs some ammo on his shelves to keep customers coming in. I can still make a handsome profit on my unneeded ammo while...

I’ve tried posting this on my local southern Arizona Craigslist but some sick Adam Henry keeps flagging my ads for removal within minutes of my posting so I would like to try here if that’s OK with everyone. My wife and I have decided we would like to rescue a dog. We lost our beloved Rottie...
