I think the Remington Green and Yellow box is their "improved" ammo for traget and match shooting and Hornady markets some stuff that is  "match-grade" ammo but not sure if rifle or pistol

I read this somewhere on the internet and it makes sense to me, but I have not verified the accuracy.   "...a 20ga provides about 75% of a 12ga with 50% of the recoil..."   I am sure this can vary widely depending on ammo and range.

Not sure how Randy gets through airport security, cause he's da bomb!   I've trained with him twice, number 3 coming up and Paisan's review is spot on.

***UPDATE***   Sunday, October 6, South Knoxville   This is private event   I know of at least 3 ladies attending, my wife and 2 of her friends   $200 per person, please contact Randy for payment options   *****************************************************************************   We are planning a one-day course in Knoxville in the fall   This will be our third class instructed by Randy Harris   Info on the course:  PM Randy (Cruel Hand Luke) or myself for more details   The reason for the post here - I plan on my wife and her best friend attending and would like to extend to an invitation to other ladies looking to further their training.   The class and Randy's teaching style is effective with all skill levels. This will be my third training event with Randy and I am looking forward to the experience once again.   You can also use the search engine on TGO using key words like Suarez / Suarez International / SI / Randy Harris / Cruel Hand Luke to see what other TGO-er's are saying about Randy.   Thanks!!!   AJ

My EDC is a 75B Omega; ergos are near perfect for my hand, I like the sight picture and get improved accuracy since it is full sized.   Mine has the omega trigger; it great - I can't imagine what a tune-up a a custom shop would do.   Good luck - the 75 is an awesome platform!

Saw some at the Knox gun show today, $199...with holster and plenty of protective cosmoline.   First time I've ever held one and it reminded me of a funny reference in Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park about the 1895 Nagant revolver...paraphrased...   "two criminals are arguing, #1 pulls the rusty Nagant, both are surprised when the Nagant actually discharges, killing #2."

How many videos have you seen where a lady has discharged a firearm and has been injured or nearly injured from the recoil due to poor stance and/or grip?   It absolutely pisses me off to see all those so-called responsible gun owners with their legally obtained firearms placing them in the hands of un / undertrained people and there contributing to this negative image of low to no gun safety; Gives more ammo to the anti-2A folks to spin it for the masses: most folks understand recoil, so we simply highlight how dangerous just the recoil is of these weapons to the shooter. Plus it "proves" women can't handle larger caliber weapons and adds to the scare factor for non-gun women.    Thanks a lot you jack wads, what do you think you're accomplishing?   And it's supposed to be funny? On what planet do you allow someone to engage in a deadly activity when you are hoping or almost hoping to catch that "funniest moment"   Gents, if you don't know how to coach your lady on the fundamentals of stance and grip, you ain't helping the cause.   Swallow some pride and find someone you know who is competent and can coach!   I did because a different coach has more patience than you will ever have.

I've trained with Randy twice, he does not disappoint!

Thanks for the links and ideas, always looking for new stuff to keep training interesting

I have also trained with Randy; both a one and two course. We are trying to schedule another SI course in Knoxville. If there is a specific course of interest pm Randy and with a little response, we can make it happen.

Saw one at WM at a price point well below my budget. Decent, fun plinking platform for boys and girls of all ages?

4 for $900? I'm in! All joking aside, wish I was a player....great price per unit.

I have a N82 tactical for my CZ75B...my favorite holster by far. Took a 2 day training course with It in August, never sweated through to my gun and the Sweat shield never felt "wet" Imho could be made better with a "combat cut" to more easily position your hand/fingers during the draw. I wear it Aiwb at 5'9" x 165 lbs. Comfortable and well concealed with a cover garment

Over the last 45 days, .38 ammo has been plentiful...I had never heard of 9mm federal until I saw your post.

The Korean's dirt shortage is ending, they found a new supply...   Their $9.97 30-round .30 cal carbine mags went to $69.99   Now they are only $19.99   Woohoo, only 100% mark-up

At 95% if you could get it for $600-$800 its a good buy. I paid $700 for nice '43 Underwood w/ '44 Inland barrel in 9/12. I think the ordnance cartouche indicates at least one arsenal rebuild. May be an in-issued rebuild model with so little wear. Story goes you could pick them up from the Cmp for $60 in the late 60s / early 70s

Just bought my first box ever in .30 carbine, will let you know how it performs.

Definitely in Knoxville! Check out the SI curriculum and make suggestions and dates. Randy is willing to offer two different one day classes over a weekend to work with schedules and budgets.

We went outdoor shooting on a whim, no ears, ringing for two days. I don't reccommend it. I keep an extra set of ears nxt to the bed.

While passing through greenville today, I found some ammo at a small business. The marquee advertised 9mm 380 233. Always looking to buy a box or three of any 9mm, .38/.357 and .30 cal carbine, I stopped in. I found all 3 at a competitive price point. The only other ammo I noticed was plentiful amounts of 7.62 NATO. Posted policy: 2 boxes per caliber per customer. Here's what I got: Fiocchi 9mm 115 fmj, 50 rounds $13.95. Not much cheaper at a big box. S&B .38spl 158 fmj 50 rounds $16.95. Cheaper than a big box. PPU .30 carbine 110 fmj 50 rounds $24.95 Equivalent to a big box if in stock. I was prepared to pay at least +$1 - $2 per box because it is a small business. I was prepared to pay another +$1 - +$2 per box not because of price gouging but with the simple fact of demand due to the current media circus. Gotta love when you can get more bang for your buck at a small business, chalk up one for the good guys!

I don't reload...but I rarely shoot .357 through my SP, my research revealed off-the-shelf magnum loads are typically not optimized in barrels under 4".

I used the mail option and same experience, about two weeks if I remember correctly. I think I posted about it since it went so quickly

Leroy brings up a great point, if you're in the car a lot. Think about left handed draw from the drivers seat. Practice your weak hand shooting skills. I have a bug in the car with right handed access "just in case"
