    Episode 80 - Belt Mountain Base Pins

    Send us a text What is going on everybody welcome back to The Shooters Apprentice Podcast! In this episode of The Shooter’s Apprentice Podcast we take a look at the Belt Mountain base pins for Ruger single-action revolvers make by Skinner Sights, what they are, why they exist, and whether they’re worth your money or just another shiny distraction. We’ll talk about why the factory base pin can become a weak point under heavy recoil, how base pin walk affects reliability, and why serious revolver shooters, hunters, handloaders, and hard-use field guys often upgrade this one small component before anything else. Sometimes the difference between a revolver that’s “fine at the range” and one you trust in the field comes down to a single piece of steel you never think about until it fails. We also talk about the budget Arasaka project and a few other things we have going on at the shop like bullet casting. Pull up a chair and lets hang out!

    Episode 79 - I Did Something Stupid

    Send us a text What’s going on everybody—welcome back to The Shooter’s Apprentice Podcast. This week I’m ditching the script and just giving a good old weekly update. We cover my first acquisition of 2026, what it’s like running 1911s in the cold, and I talk about  something I did that was genuinely stupid and what I learned from it.

    Episode 78 - 2025 Acquisitions

    Send us a text Happy New Years everybody! In this episode of The Shooter’s Apprentice Podcast, Daniel looks back at the guns that followed him home in 2025 — the good ideas, the questionable decisions, and the ones that instantly earned a permanent spot in the safe. This isn’t a “top ten list” or a spec-sheet rundown. It’s a year-end conversation about what caught his eye, why certain guns spoke to him at that moment, and what each purchase says about where his shooting interests are headed. Some were practical, some were nostalgic, some were projects, and a few were bought purely because they were too cool to leave behind. If you enjoy honest gun talk, personal stories, and the kind of conversations that usually happen leaning against a workbench or sitting around the shop after hours, this episode is for you. Pull up a chair and let’s talk about the guns of 2025.
