• 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

  • Glock Gen 5

    The Glock pistols are reliable and effective guns for self defense. For most of the brand’s life, they have been 3″ guns at 25 yards. Some might be a half inch better and some a half inch worse. They are not as easy to shoot into that group as a gun with a good single

  • Girsan MC P35 Ops Part 5

  • 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

  • Books Update Sep 3, 2024

    The plan was for me to run the site for a time and take over printing the books much later. Mrs. Camp has asked me to step up and do the printing much sooner than we expected. When you click the Products button it will send you to my Square page where you can buy
