"Unlike many of the other Operators, it does not have the full length guide rod, but rather has your standard short plastic rod for ease of take-down. I have heard this pistol was only made for a short while and that they are becoming very "sought after" now. Is there any truth to this? Does...

Did you watch & follow this video from APEX? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAJKLHNRF04

Greetings, I was looking for any information on the Colt .380 ACP Nitelite. It was sold with a Trijicon ("type) front sight. Mine is no longer a *glow in the dark*. I was considering selling it, and have "read" where they say only 200 units were made? Any information regarding this...

Didn't want to start new thread... Does anyone possibly have any more info on the Colt Nitelite (Mustang .380 ACP)? I have one I was considering selling, and I read at one place there were only 200 made? Looking any info. Anyone have an idea of what it's worth in XL with all original...

Found this thread on a google search, from the web, LOL. I too, have a P220 with the SF ensignia on the front of the slide. The model ID on the box ends in "SF". I called Sig today, and had the person run the SN. The only info she could develope, was that it was not a retail item, and...

That shouldn't be any problem with an appliance dolly. Mine is rated at 700 lbs. But if you want an easier way, rent a Stair climbing/descending dolly. I just moved a much heavier safe (upstairs) without any problem. See my post here: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=477027

I've researched moving a safe upstairs on gun forums, and didn't find much useful help. However when I did a YouTube search, I learned of stair climbing dolly's. Then I called around, and Cresco Rentals has them. A light duty unit at 650 lbs. max, and a HD unit (forget the max weight, but is...

Years ago I had a Para-Ord that I called my Bastard gun, as most of the shells bounced off my face or forehead, leaving black marks. Until I finally had a smith tweak it. Took him 5 seconds. He said OK, you're good now. Never a problem again... That was a 1911.

After several Para-Jams failed to run smoothly, the Factory told me they needed to be broken in more... Later I pratically ran out of ammo, time and money. And it didn't even help! So much for that theory (concerning Para's). Now my (new) Sigs, a few mags to prove reliability and I'm good.

Opps dupliucate post my bad..

Having emailed pratically every safe maker prior to my purchase, and not receiving a single response, I'd have to agreee...:D ________________________________________________ One question on placing safes on wooded sub floor structures - I have a tri-level with 2x12's on 18" cnters, and I...

Heeler, Since you haven't received much response yet - I'll chime in here, but please understand - I am by far NOT any expert or even close to it, and have NEVER even moved a safe before. But I do have a safe I need to locate upstairs, and have been reading up on it recently. In my...

Fast Frank Stated _________________________________________ Fast Frank, thanks for the reply. I agree with the jist of your post. The safe will be located in a bedroom closet, in a location that is not even visible if that rooms door is open fully. Yet I wanted a small edge. So I do plan...

Regarding drywall as a fire barrier, not only is it not a very good heat/fire barrier for a safe, but wouldn't there also be a concern that if the safe took any physical abuse or shock, the sheetrock could break & crumble, reducing it's already minimal effectiveness? I realize the space where...

OP Asked: I understand there are some ratings not as accurate as others? Can someone please clarify? It's lines like these that add to the confusion: It is important to note that products which are "tested to UL standards" have not necessarily met or exceeded those standards, and may...
