Here is a video comparison of the characteristics and performance of the PWS FSC30 and BCE BABC.

Note to self - when shooting cheap commie ammo through a cheap rebuilt commie gun, don't hold on to the magwell.

The Kimber Rimfire Target conversion kit - or a competing kit of similar quality - is a must have for 1911 owners, in my opinion. I've owned this one for years and use it more than practically any other firearm-related product I own.

This does look like it would be quite a bit of fun. I don't know if I'd pay $475 an hour for it - especially if I was only riding along in an R22 - but hey, if you've got the money...

In this video, I make the case that you shouldn't buy every firearm you possibly can.

It's been two years since I first started electroless nickel plating firearms, and I figured it was time for a two-year followup. The original post is located here. Although I posted that in October of 2009, I started using the kit in July of that year. I am very pleased with the results. If you are familiar with the process, you may find the first few minutes of the video boring. If you aren't, it's a general description of the electroless nickel plating kit, which might be as good of… Read More

I have a love/hate relationship with my Kimber 1911s, as those who have seen my Custom II review know. I bought this Stainless II in 9mm almost three years ago, and shoot it quite often. In its original configuration, it was simply nonfunctional. However, it didn't take me too long to toss most of the Kimber parts and turn it into a very useful handgun. Would I do it over again? I don't know.

Here is a three minute video on how not to shoot. Edit: They've removed the above video, but here's a 4 minute video (from the same organization) titled "The Professionals," in which you will see no professional behavior or skills. Thanks to John at No Lawyers, Only Guns and Money for the link.

A short review of the Mossberg 500 shotgun. I've owned this example for a year or so, and find it to be fun to shoot as well as a versatile and useful weapon.
