I am working with a customer on what will eventually become the SM-2, a pistol grip 870 that is awesome. Same high quality components, but a Speedfeed pistol grip. If you are thinking about adding a pistol grip to your shotgun there area a few things to remember. The first is that you must have an barrel length of at least 18″ and the overall length of the gun must be 26″. This last one is a little known fact, but ATF is serious about this one as well. Make sure you don’t overlook this one. A true pistol grip will only...

When you run a pistol in your every day life, it happens that they jam frequently. This goes for rifles as well, but it seems like pistols tend to be a little more finicky for most of us. In fact, most of my experience with malfunctions come in pistols. If you are having malfunctions here are several things to try to solve the problem. Clean the pistol. I know it sounds like a silly thing to say, but most semi-auto systems that start to foul up have to do with cleaning. Scrub out everything really well, relube and go. If you shoot a lot...

read moreSpringfield XD
There is a post on the Tactical Shooting Forums right now that is giving the XD quite a thrashing. The problem seems to be long term reliability. I personally don’t have many rounds logged behind an XD so I can’t add to the discussion. If you have had any types of issues, you might want to follow-up on this post. Springfield is a good company that should want to stand behind its work. Perhaps they will change some policies about repair if enough people complain. The crux of the issue surrounds “factory fit”...
read moreRevolver Trigger Jobs Myths
If you are interested in getting your a Ruger SP101, S&W J-Frame, or Taurus trigger job, there are a few things to keep in mind: Cutting coils isn’t always the way to go. Cutting the coils on a factory spring may sound like a great idea, but it isn’t always the way to go. I was taught, and still believe, that replacement springs are a better option. With Wolff manufacturing some great spring kits, you can achieve reliable ignition with a reduced power spring kit. A spring kit is the answer. If you are looking for a trigger...

Mossy Creek Training is one step closer to offering the TN Handgun Permit Class that will qualify you to obtain a CCW permit. We hope to have a class scheduled by the end of next week for June.

One of the newest adventures I have had recently has been to work on starting a company that will go hand in hand with MCC. Mossy Creek Arms has been developed to offer something a little different in the AR-15 market. Saturday we were able to put the first gun together, and it is awesome. I want to remind you these are not your standard run of the mill guns. These guns are come from our shop in Nashville with loads of features you won’t see standard anywhere else. For instance we are only using the Magpul line of stocks and pistol...

I had the privilege of shooting a Ruger SP101 in .327 Federal Magnum today. It was the first time that I had ever been around the cartridge. The gun came in for the SP101 package, and I have to say I am really impressed. As I was talking to the owner of the gun today, he mentioned that the lower recoil and 6th shot had sold him on the gun. Both of those attributes make it a great cartridge to consider if you are wanting a solid revolver for CCW. I think I have mentioned how I am a recoil sissy. I don’t like anything magnum because...
