  • Books Now In Color!

    To my eye, the colors make the books look more like the site has always looked. I went to a slightly heavier paper to keep the bleed through at bay but I am still able to print the books at the same rates that Mrs. Camp set when I took over the site. Clicking on…

  • S&W 442 UC Part Two

    At least I know they were good trigger presses…since I had 4 light strikes with the gun. One round was Hornady 110 Critical Defense, 1 round of Federal 130 FMJ, and 2 rounds of Lost River 148 Hard Cast poly-coated wadcutter. All 4 rounds detonated the next time they came up in the rotation after…

  • Smith & Wesson Ultimate Carry 442 Part One

    This gun has the features that we always wished the J-frame came from the factory with and we have Lipsey’s to thank for it. I had been putting off buying one because I just invested in a M&P 340 two years ago. Seeing the sights on my 25 year old 642, even with paint was…

  • Girsan MC P35 Ops Part 5

    Uh-oh. The Girsan now has 470 rounds through it without any stoppages. The magazine that came with the gun no longer locks the slide to the rear, which is a common issue with the 15 round Mec Gar magazines. I will get some Wolff extra power springs and see if that helps. Luckily I have…

  • Girsan MC P35 Ops Part 4

    I had some time to hit the range and check out the GHP with some random carry type loads. Mixed in the can were Winchester 124 +P Bonded, Winchester 127 +P+ T Series, Federal 147 Hydrashok from 20 years ago, Speer Gold Dot 147 G2, and a couple of Hornady Critical Defense 110gr loads. It…

  • Girsan MC P35 Ops Part 3

    I was getting some initial groupings with an Aero M5 .308 rifle at 50 yards just to have it on paper and collect some velocity data when I realized it was a perfect opportunity to get some more rounds through the GHP. Yes, that is a 4 inch group at 50 yards. The Atlanta Arms…
