Negative magnification has been an UltraDot problem for years. I've complained several times to the factory and always get the same response, that the individual lenses are within spec and the occasional negative magnification is from "tolerance stacking". That's bull, almost 100% of the n...

The practice of holding the hammer back or keeping the trigger depressed when loading a 1911 goes back to earlier times when the trigger shoes were made of steel instead of aluminum. The combination of a long, solid steel trigger and a 3.5 lb or lighter trigger pull could cause the hammer to be bump...

That's one hell of a hot load to shoot Bullseye with!

Back then, the triggers and trigger shoes were all made of steel, not aluminum, so not holding the trigger or hammer back when loading could cause the inertia of the heavier trigger to cause the hammer to drop to half-cock, which would do nothing good for the finely polished sear face. A great trigg...

The Star have unfortunately been out of business for a few years now, but Zero makes a 185 grain LSHCHP that is almost as good. I've had even better results with the Zero 200 grain lead SWC. Over 4.2 Bullseye, they often go into one big hole at 50 yards, where I almost always got some amount of vert...

My $.02: Due to casting imperfections, the odds are that you won't be able to consistently get the same 50 yard accuracy with cast bullets as Noslers, but I've proven on the Ransom rest several times with many different guns, that I can do better than my best Nosler load with the right load behind a...

My 2 cents: I have a Rock River wadgun that now has over 85,000 rounds through it, and the only work that has been done to it is to have the barrel bushing replaced twice, not because of innaccuracy, but because they became loose enough to turn without a bushing wrench. The gun is still tight enough...

Ok if you don't have to shoot the .45. How's your .45 scores compared to the .32?

The .32 is a nice toy if you've run out of things to buy, but at the end of the day, if you're gonna shoot the whole match, you gotta get friendly with your .45, so why not practice twice as much with it. I tried the .32 and found it finicky & expensive to load compared to my .45. And with the s...

Anybody know of anyone that makes a Weaver type base that will clamp onto a Pardini K2S air pistol, or another way of mounting an UltraDot to one? Thanks.

I have a new BME S&W52-RR slide mount for the S&W Model 52 that I'll sell for $85. shipped. This one fits on the slide with no modifications to the gun. The rear sight can be removed and this mount installed in a few minutes.

I've done a few Mark II's now using the Clark trigger and hammer pin / bushing, and the Volquartsen sear. Trigger pull is fairly crisp with a hint of roll (the way I like it) and right at 2 lbs - a perfect Bullseye trigger.

Anyone know who currently might have Bo-Mar sights for sale? I'm looking for a rear sight to fit a Beretta 92. Thanks.

I initiated a discussion on that very topic at Camp Perry last year with Dennis Willing who is a referee at Camp Perry and on the NRA Pistol rules committee. Dennis said that issue has surfaced many times in the past, but always failed to have a sufficient amount of support to change the rules. My p...
