In my youth I was near sighted (20/80), so wore glasses all the time. Fast forward, now in my seventies, I see perfectly well at distance, but poorly up close. So, I have been shooting without...
Somewhat a repeat from my newbie thread, but the important info is brought together here.
First time shooting, after a gun cleaning, was a beginning marksmanship class, and failure to feed was...
Third trip to range after 200 round break-in. Shot 34 rounds of Blazer Brass flawlessly. Shot 50 rounds of Ventura ARX (Ruger stamped), and 2 rounds failed to feed. One loaded halfway and another...
OK Gale, now I know what a 'stove pipe' is, an ejected shell hanging up in the chamber on the way out. My tappable shells were clearly FTFs by that article, but the shells that jammed so badly that...
Back from the range. I have my 200 rounds in now. I started shooting today with a full box of Blazer Brass and the first 2 8rnd mags were flawless. Quite shocking after the previous experience. ...
I ordered this one, https://smile.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-Scrubber-Firearms-15-Ounce/dp/B00BD4ZDY0/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1534180400&sr=1-1&keywords=gun+scrubber . Says it's...
Well, I thought, since I had a spray can of what I thought was a gun cleaner, I'd go ahead and clean the striker channel. To my surprise, the spray can, G96 Gun Treatment, spewed out foam all over...
I don't mind good hearted reminders. I'll be cleaning and lubing the CT380 tonight based on the stickies here, and not on the cleaning class I took that seem to have missed a few things. He was...
Anyone have an idea what shipping is on one box? I don't see any place on their web site where it is indicated and I'm not ready yet to give them my email address. We have a gun show coming up in a...
Does the extractor tension come into play when just loading the first round? It looked like the last few rounds seemed to be feeding more easily. Being out of sync with the group, I got as far as...
OK, back from the Beginning Marksmanship class, and first use of CT380. Had lots of FTFs. Shot a total of about 37 rounds, but would have shot close to 50 if I hadn't gotten out of sinc so often...
I always do a copy on my efforts followed by a spell check, then it doesn't matter if there is a foul-up. I'm also having to do way too many log-ons,

Very interesting. I like the meat and oranges testing.
I note that you can hear a lot of wind on the microphone. Also, in the last close up of the target, it could be seen fluttering a bit...
Bosco, you asked about the video, so here it is, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TlBSiIeTCI . Unfortunately it is woefully short of narration. There was originally some indication of using 9mm and...
I've been looking at a lot of testing of the ARX, but in mixed calibers. There seems to be a common thread tho. The harder the material shot thru, the more pieces are generated. There were some...
Well, there you go. I was not aware that there were more bullets with fluting than just the Lehigh(Underwood) XP. I guess I need to do some more research on the new candidates.
Cynthia
Hi Ed. Yes, I looked up Lehigh after I posted the thread above. It looks really good, but I would prefer not to have the extra penetration of the Underwood, so am considering the Lehigh XP. At a...
I know this is an old thread, but that seems appropriate to my question. A lot of years have pasted since the Shooting the Bull review that gave very good marks to Precision One XTP ammo for the...
Well, I'm not really interested in shooting from the waist, but that is what the indoor range here calls it if you do anything other than use your sights. I am interested in a percentage of my shots...
Hi, I just bought the gold version of the CT380. Came with 2 mags, both too heavily crimped on the bottom plate to open without tools. A little tapping of a chisel where needed and they work fine...
