Bad news fellas... The Gunsite raven will not appear on the new pistol's frame. Inside sources relay that quality & performance is questionable. My advice is to steer clear of these... Unfortunately Vltor even turned off the comment section of its weblog on the subject: fortispistol.com

What contributes the most to a scope's weight: lenses, the tube, or other internal parts?

Not going this year but I'm curious what each of you would like to see if you were attending. Perhaps by listing each manufacturer and product, some in attendance would be kind in supplying info (+ pics!). So here's my top 10 list: 1. Sigarms 55x rifle for the U.S. - what does it look...

Buzz Knox, Do you know who the vendor at the Konxville show was that had the Korriphila in 9mm?

I'm curious how rounds are extracted during firing in tip-up barrel semiautos like the Beretta 86 cheetah or the Tomcat that don't exhibit an extractor? Exactly what is the ejection process?

I recently inherited a Beretta 86 (.380 with tip-up barrel design) that I like to shoot except for one caveat: the grip + magazine base lip aren't sufficiently long enough for my hand. As a result, my pinkie finger keeps sliding underneath the grip during shooting. Is there a gunsmith that...

Non-fluted Commander Bull Barrel Ok, so where can I find a non-fluted Bull Barrel for a Commander size 1911? Ed Brown no longer carries a bull barrel in 4.25" length.

Yes they do exist: http://www.coolguyguns.com/images/Mybaby-desc.jpg Lissner used to make them and I'm wondering if there's a counterpart here in the U.S. which goes towards my original question.

From Ed Brown's wesbite... Do you offer any type of gunsmithing work? No, we do not. However we do offer an installation service for Ed Brown parts. Ed Brown doesn't offer a FLUTED bull barrel part.

Where can I find a fluted bull barrel for a Commander-size 1911?

Any recommendations as to where or whose fluted bull barrels to try? I'm looking for one for my Ed Brown Kobra Carry (Commander Style 1911). A shop that could supply the barrel and fit the barrel to the pistol is preferred. - Dacos

Earl's Repair Service I spoke to Earl about a year ago and he had a stainless R-99: carlwalther.com The only problem is that Earl wanted $1350 for what was basically a S&W M19 w/3" barrel and yes, special grips. For that price one could buy a new M19, have a smith install a 3" barrel and put...

Pippin - there's a reason the ASAI and Sphinx look alike. Check out: www.mtuma.ch Same designer behind these pistols and others... Dacos

New Scoop I've been more patient regarding these pistols than practically anything else I can recall... now here's the latest: I contacted Sphinx regarding the possibility of purchasing a Sphinx AT-2000S, which is notoriously difficult to find and Sabre Defence (the new U.S. importer) denied...
