Taran Butler

Posted by admin on Jul 24, 2009 in Videos | 0 comments

Taran is a great shooter.  Even though he many not seem as fluid as some of the other shooters, he is consistently up at the top debunking the myth that you can’t compete at a run and gun type of match if you don’t have a certain body type. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiYGE2S_OHk]

Shooting the J-Frame DAO

Posted by admin on Jul 23, 2009 in Just Whatever | 0 comments

The J-Frame sized revolvers have become more popular as more people are carrying for CCW.  One of the configurations that people like is the Double Action Only.  I carried one of these guns in a backup role while serving as a sworn LEO.  It rode very comfortably on my ankle and required very little maintenance. Those are the great things about these guns.  The bad is that they kick harder than Bruce Lee, they are hard to hold with a solid grip, and they are very hard to shoot.  Make no mistake about it, if you are going to carry one of these,...

Summertime Blues?

Posted by admin on Jul 20, 2009 in Just Whatever | 0 comments

The gun industry is going through a typical summer slump.  As we look back at our records we realize that almost every year we see a dramatic drop off in web traffic, sales and inquiries during the months of May-August. This isn’t a big deal for us, but it might be a big deal for you because parts, guns and ammo are starting to become available as manufacturers get caught up with existing orders. One manufacturer of AR’s told me that he had a 1 year backlog, but was expecting to be fully caught up by the end of the fall.  This is...

Todd Jarrett Hat Cam

Posted by admin on Jul 16, 2009 in Videos | 4 comments

Here is a video of Todd Jarrett shooting an IPSC stage with a hat cam.  It provides a great vantage of how incredibly fast the top shooters are moving while they run these stages.  After the hat cam the video shows him shooting it with a traditional camera view.  Notice his mag transitions.  Very smooth, and always while moving.

Sevigny F/O Sights

Posted by admin on Jul 14, 2009 in Glock, Gunsmithing | 2 comments

I had a chance to run a low light drill tonight with Warren Tactical’s Sevigny Fiber Optic Sight.  These sights have become very popular for Glocks in the competition circuit.  I installed them on a customer’s 17L, and we headed to the range to sight them in before we ran out of time. The sights come with red and green fiber optic rods.  The owner of the 17L chose green, and I have to say it would have been my choice as well.  As dusk was upon us, we were able to pick up the front sight incredibly well.  The rear sight is notched...

Precision Rifle

Precision Rifle

While we are certainly not known for precision rifle work, from time to time we get the opportunity to do a little.  In face, one of our first customers was a Air Marshall who was getting ready to go to a rifle class. The rifle pictured above is one that is set up for another precision rifle class.  It is a Remington 700 in 308 that has several cool things added to it. The scope is a SWFA 10×42 with Mil-Dots, with side focus.  The scope has everything you need, but it doesn’t break the bank. It is mounted with a Leupold Mark 4, 1...

E-Book on Reloading

Posted by mossycreekcustom on Jul 7, 2009 in reloading | 0 comments

I recently made contact with George Phillips who has written an e-book for beginning reloaders.  For those not familiar with an e-book, they are downloaded for your enjoyment at considerable savings.  George’s book is $.99, so it is a great value, and will offer you some insights into starting the process of reloading. It is by no means exhaustive, and the preview copy that we read did not have any pictures, so you should understand that is by no means an complete book for the beginner, but at less than a buck it is hard to beat.  You...

Revolver Trigger Jobs

Posted by admin on Jul 5, 2009 in Gunsmithing | 1 comment

I have had a  lot of revolvers come in the shop over the last few day for trigger work.  I am going to limit this to the Double Action portion of the firing cycle.  If you have a revolver that allows you to shoot Single Action, that portion probably doesn’t need to adjusted, but often the DA portion needs to be addressed. If you are looking at this mod, here are a few parameters; Springs by themselves are not the answer.  Just slapping a few springs in will not make up for the shortcomings of a factory revolver job. In DA mode, you must...

Ammo Shortages

Posted by admin on Jul 3, 2009 in Just Whatever | 0 comments

I have been traveling over the last week as we look to expand a few new things that you will be hearing about very soon.  I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised with a few of these projects.  As I have traveled to across Tennessee and Virginia, I have noticed that ammo problems seem to be localized.  In Nashville we have limited amounts of ammo available.  In Knoxville, there is none.  It is so dry in Knoxville that the local paper ran an article on the front page called “Gimmie Back My Bullets.”  Virginia seems to be...

Practice Like You Plan to Play

Posted by admin on Jun 29, 2009 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

If you carry a gun on a daily basis, outside of a uniformed position, I have a question for you:  Do you carry the gun you shoot the most?  Being a competitive shooter myself I find that I am often lacking in practice time for my real gun. For many years I have shot a Glock 17 in IDPA.  This gun has had untold thousands of rounds put through it, but my S&W J-frame has not had even 1,000 rounds sent out of it.  Obviously this presents a problem with proficiency.  I am much better with the Glock 17 than any other gun that own, but I...
