.30 Super Carry at the BUG Match!

June 18, 2022 Ian McCollum 15

I don’t normally take actual backup guns to the backup gun match; it’s usually some oddball old pistol. But today, I decided to bring out the new S&W Shield Plus in .30 Super Carry. It’s […]

2-Gun With New US Army Weapons: SIG Spear and M17

June 4, 2022 Ian McCollum 28

Yesterday we looked at the new SIG Spear/M5 in detail, and today I’m taking it out to a 2-Gun match to try on the clock. The most suitable pistol pairing would naturally be the other […]

2-Gun Match: Enfield Jungle Carbine & Martini-Henry

February 26, 2022 Ian McCollum 18

https://youtu.be/IuSw8VbiRT I have been wanting to bring my new (to me) No5 MkI Enfield “Jungle Carbine” out to a match, and chose this month’s 2G-ACM to do it. In addition I am joined by Tom, […]

I Tried to Use the GR-1 Anvil at the BUG Match…

February 12, 2022 Ian McCollum 29

So, I took the GR-1 to this month’s Backup Gun Match…but all did not go as I’d hoped. We blew a fuse in the gun (it is still an alpha prototype, remember), and were not […]

Desert Brutality 2021 Day 2: Catastrophe and Redemption

December 4, 2021 Ian McCollum 10

When we left off yesterday, I had a perfect streak going with my FR-F2, but the choice of a .357 revolver for a Brutality match was looking pretty questionable. Well, we’ve got our more stages […]

Desert Brutality 2021 Day 1: Glory and Heartbreak

December 3, 2021 Ian McCollum 10

It’s time for Desert Brutality 2021! This match is a bit different from previous Brutality matches; it required three guns: pistol, rifle, and precision rifle. I chose to enter the Cold War division (all guns […]

Finnish Brutality 2021 Day 1: Featuring The Infamous Trench Stage!

November 19, 2021 Ian McCollum 13

Finnish Brutality took place on October 23 and 24 of this year, at the Loppi shooting range north of Helsinki. It was run by Varusteleka, the largest and definitely the awesomest military and outdoor supplier […]

BUG Match with a 98-Year-Old 6.35mm Le Français

October 16, 2021 Ian McCollum 39

Today I’m at the BackUp Gun Match in Tucson with a first model Le Français made in 1923. This is an early French semiauto pistol design intended for pocket carry. It has a 7-round magazine […]

Full Auto Suomi in the 2021 AZ PCC Championship

October 2, 2021 Ian McCollum 15

The Arizona PCC (Pistol-Caliber Carbine) Championship is a 10-stage competition held every year at the Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club in Mesa, AZ. It is normally only open to semiauto carbines, but I was able to […]

Suomi vs Stemple-Suomi: How Close Are They?

September 25, 2021 Ian McCollum 5

Yesterday we took a look at the Stemple-Suomi on the bench – today it’s time to find how similar it is in handling to the real thing! I have a Danish M41 Suomi, a Stemple-Suomi, […]
