Today was spent at the range checking POI shift with/without a suppressor at 300 and 600yds. Got me to wondering what sort of distances would a typical hobbyist shooter be looking at in the US?
For me, I typically stay within 100 yards. I have neither the skill nor any rifle set up for more than that. Plus, none of the ranges i use are set up for more than 100 yards either.

My friends set up courses that the stages go from 20 to 300yds. They also have a 9" gong and a 16" plate we use for 300 to 600yds.
 
Yeah, not uncommon to see people shooting milsurp with irons out to 600yds with some success, they were designed with minute-of-boche accuracy in mind after all.
After 300 having some sort of bullet drop compensation makes it easier and more consistent, and a lot of older mil guns have that built into the iron sights. Wind starts to become a problem, and actually engaging targets that are not a well contrasted static target on a manicured range is more difficult.

in my part of the country we struggle to find even 100 yards to shoot. We don't have ranges so we shoot in clearings or farm fields. longest places are usually along power lines in the wilderness. they run in straight lines so if the terrain allows it you can shoot a long way. for example:

Speaking of SIG, I have a question to ask; I was looking into the P226 handguns, might be getting one in the future. 9mm for me, most likely. Anyone have any thoughts about them? Heard good things.
I've heard good things, and I know they pop up on the used market as LEO trade ins pretty regularly.

Find a decent condition trade-in and put an SRT kit in it if you want to improve the trigger. Nu-Sig pistol finishes suck, especially on the legacy products. IIRC they're produced from a different division of Sig USA than the P320, P365, etc.
 
pro tip. Mrs took me to Walmart to get tire clean stuff, they don't ID buying ammo. I legit got 5 boxes of both cheap 12g and some 30-06 while i was pretty drunk. LITERALLY BASED AND FREEDOM PILLED.
 
H&K are expanding US Operations under the newly created HK USA brand are onshoring production, meaning that H&K will be producing Firearms in America. They also teased "3 major new/enhanced platforms between mid-October and the HK Pro WOFT Event in February". Speculation is running rampant in regards to what the "new/enhanced platforms" could be, some saying Semi auto MP7 Pistols, to updated MR223 series guns, to that Microcompact HK showed off at a European trade show a couple years ago, to simply new VP9 SKU's.

Supposedly, Allegedly, The Ukraine has restored production of 5.45x39mm ammunition. Curiously they went with brass for the cartridge case material, making them I believe the third ever producers of Brass case 5.45 (Hornady and Prvi Partizan) and the first ever Nation State to do so for military usage.

Many years ago a Cleveland Ohio based company, ITM Tool and die started dabbling in the obscure field of double barrel machineguns, creating the

Updated "Mega Pistol" by GunCAD Dev Nopel (creator of the M1337 5.56 Gatling Gun). Originally designed by a nerdy Asian guy who invented a new type of 3D Printing, the design was found to be deficient and lacking. 40 rounds of .22lr on tap in the most unergonomic way possible, but it is cool looking.

Lastly some leathery old fella has created a drop in FRT system that allows you to retain your (potentially modified) stock trigger system
 
I am looking at a Model 29-2 8 3/8in and a Model 57 8 3/8. Which one should I get? 44 and 41 magnum. I have never owned either cartridge before but I've always wanted a 29, not because of dirty harry but mad max.

If you aren't just collecting, it's easier to find 44 mag out in the wild and it's a little bit cheaper at 60cpr vs 65cpr. 44 special is also 20 cents cheaper than 41 mag. You can then get a nice lever gun in 44 mag to be all cowboy/frontiersman and have more of a reason to stock 44.
