As the title says, Center Mass on Boulder Hwy in Henderson has changed owners. The folks from The Range 702 (down by the strip on the other side of I15) bought it last month. I stopped by yesterday and a complete rebuild is in progress. Gone is the double lockdown door and the sign that CCW's...

I live about two miles south of the strip in Vegas and the majority of my practice is in Boulder City. However, yesterday was a beautiful day for a drive (35 miles one-way), and I decided to visit the Clark County Shooting Facility for my practice. I am very impressed. It is a fully equipped...

Link RemovedI had my optometrist make me a pair of yellow shooting glasses. I had him make the bifocal (bottom part) very low. I only need the bifocal for really close work. Sorry 'bout the pic quality, but you can see the low bifocal anyway.

I have one that I often carry in a front pocket in a small Blackhawk #1...pictured below. The comments about the laser are valid. IMHO, a tiny, self-defense gun needs a laser like a hog needs a songbook. The gun is pretty accurate. Just remember that it's not a range gun. It's designed to...

This morning on the Daily Beast website there was a "news" article about the recent shooting of several LEOs in Utah. (Gun Control Advocates Say Lax Utah Permit Rules Lurk Within Senate Bill - The Daily Beast. The author quickly turned the tragic incident into another campaign to attack CCW...

I'm a member of elsiepeaforum. There are several Ruger testers who post there regularly. The forum has expanded to include other Rugers...LC9, etc. The one addition I made to my LCP was to install a rubber grip-band. The LCP pocket-carries very well with a Blackhawk #1 holster. I sometimes...

Last week, I bought a new, tactical Remington 870 for added protection around the house. Took it to the range the following day and am certainly glad I did. After firing the third round, the bolt locked up...leaving the spent shell in the chamber. I have considerable shotgunning experience...

My range buddy is an avid shooter and a big Kimber fan. He recently purchased a new Kimber Solo 9mm to replace his current CC piece. He performed a general cleaning before taking it to the range. On the very first round downrange, the pistol ejected the cartridge and the slide locked back as...

Here's a link to the latest news concerning some of the stupid laws that exist in Nevada regarding CCW permits: Link Removed Here's the text of the email that I sent the author.... Ms. Bellisle, I read with great interest the subject RGJ.com article. I've put a Google Alert on future such...

American Shooters range on Boulder Highway in Henderson is closed again. No great loss, as they were only open two weekdays anyway. While I'm on the subject... I had to qualify a new pistol (Ruger LCP) to add to my CCW and stopped in at "The Gun Store" on Tropicana today for what might seem a...

I've been looking for a small pocket BUG for some time now. Being a S&W fan, I thought they had it right with their new Bodyguard .380. However, the early model take-down pin and trigger issues, combined with the current lack of availability, caused me to look elsewhere. I bought a new-in-box...

The Defender is an excellent firearm...IMHO. There is a recall notice (7.6.09) that you can download (PDF) here: Link Removed I've included a screen shot below of the page with the Defender serial numbers that are affected by the recall. It's a simple fix that you can do when cleaning the...

The back of my Nevada CCW permit lists each pistol by make/model/caliber/date, but simply states "REVOLVERS AUTHORIZED". In other words, I can only conceal the particular pistol that is listed, but may conceal any revolver. When I "qualified" (what a joke) on the range for my permit, I...
