Hawks Eye Guns

Sean recounts his trip to the local big-box store on Black Friday weekend and what a mistake that was followed by some highlights of the upcoming year in firearm design and releases. Join us!

Sean finally caught his white whale in the form of a 1959 Ithaca Model 37R. It's beautiful it is vintage and has a wicked-looking stock on it. We aren't sure why he loves Ithaca guns so much but perhaps now he'll quit itching like an addict and switch to something else... but we doubt it. We also cover ammo prices and Jake almost buys a .40 cal.

This week we go over what felt recoil is and how to figure out what's right for you. Jake went shooting this week and has some thoughts on sights and rifle ammunition. Join us for almost two hours of talk about firearms!   

This week Sean had a relapse and made another purchase. This time he got his hands on an A300 Ultima but had to let another one go in order to make the trade. Jake and Sean talk cowboy guns and oddly enough Browning Hi-Power's. 

This week on the cast, we check out the Benelli Nova up close and personal and see if this all-black field gun lives up to both its brand and the hype heaped upon it. Join us as we talk about this and the guns coming next!

This time out on the show we cover the new (to him) shotgun Sean is getting. We chat about the fact Jake has remained strong, then tackle why it is that Texas is even still standing considering they now have constitutional carry now in effect. 

This week upon a listener request - we cover shotgun chokes: what they do, how they work, can you fire slugs through them, and what to expect when you do. We also go over what Jake and Sean want next and how they came to that decision. 

CZ releases its newest edition the P-10m that Sean thinks isn't very micro at all. The 51 featherlight repairs for other folks seem to keep happening and Sean wants a Cheetah. 

Kimber has released their new "mirco" 9mm that is huge for a micro and exactly the same dimensions as a sub-compact. It is completely not a Glock clone as we suspected but something else entirely. Also Jake's Walther PDP came in and he loves it and Sean wants to be The Man With The Golden Gun. All this an more on this episode of Hawk's Eye guns!

Remember when we said that we were going to lay off buying new rigs for a while? Yeah, that didn't happen. Sean finished his rifle build and got a Ruger Security-9 Compact and Jake went off the rails and sold a few guns then went right into ordering a Walther PDP. Apparently, we can't help it. 

This week on the show we start out with Jake buying some guns he probably shouldn't have - then he buys another one he REALLY shouldn't have. Sean is then saved by a heaping load of shame and we end on the start of an epic Savage Axis rifle build. Join us for the fun!

We start off the show with our normal misadventures trying to stumble through today's active gun market and Sean has a birthday. Then progress to what Sean actually uses a .44 lever-action for and why you might need such a thing where he lives. It's not typical but when the need arises you need one. Take a load off and stay awhile with us as we talk firearms!

This week on the cast Sean goes over a bunch of stuff we got wrong on the last cast about the Beretta 92 fs and Beretta M9... sorry, our bad. Then we cover firearms we'd like to get in the near future and have the ever-present ammunition conversation about what's available in our areas. To top off the show we have a rousing chat about what Henry is thinking about when they date their father's day guns.

There's a special thing that happens when folks that have the same sickness get together. You can see it in lots of places in life but in this episode, you can watch as two grown men start swapping firearms like they are baseball cards. It's funny really how both of your hosts can't keep the same object in their possession for longer than a year or so but that seems to be where they wind up. This time out Sean gets a hold of a Beretta 92. (Note: I said the Beretta entered service in the mid '70s... that is incorrect it was the mid '80s)

In this episode: Sean picks up another couple of shotguns, we know, there's a shocker. Jake picks up a new lead thrower and Sean tries to pick up his old one. Then we cover the surprising quality of the Taurus G3. All that plus Texas is about to be a constitutional carry state. Join us!

This time out we start out discussing Jake's new Sig P365 and how he came about needing a second P365 in his life. He also purchased a 9mm S&W Sheild that he is never going to shoot. After he gets all that off his chest we roll into talk about Bwana's new Henry and how we never thought a single shot .410 could be that much fun. Join us!

It all started with a conversation about Jake's new Black Aces semi-auto shotgun. It's great and he digs it but somehow that then started a 30-minute conversation on bullpup shotguns, what they are and why people like them. We really did try to stay on topic this time, really - it seems to be harder than we thought.

This week on the show Sean went a little wild and got a hold of a Fabarm Grey Hunter. He's got a schoolgirl crush on this thing and doesn't seem to care who knows it. The good news is Jake is there to walk him through telling the rest of us about it. Also on this week's show ammunition seems to be coming back to the south but not the east coast? This and other strange things happening on this week's episode of Hawks Eye Guns!

Welcome back to shotguns of the '70s with Sean! Yeah, we know, he just can't help himself when he sees an old shotgun in trouble he just keeps tilting at those windmills and trying to save them from the ravages of obscurity. This week we have a particularly interesting example in the form of the Ithaca / SKB xl 900. It's old, broken and Sean simply had to fix it. Join us!  

Nope that is not a mistake, Sean, did in fact, go buy a second Winchester the following week. He may be a little out of his mind right now but he's having a great time! Join us as we discuss his sickness and the joy of finding great clay busters!
