Did S&W make pre-war grips for round butt k-frames? Thanks

Just purchased a new 1911, as I understand it manufactured by BUL in Israel. (Model is 1911 U) This is, from what I can gather, an officer's model sized pistol. It came with a fixed blade knife with slabs matching the grip slabs on the gun- Really like how this pistol feels in my hands...

My 2 cents; variation is between a semi auto and a revolver- comfortable with both

I like the Milt Sparks "summer cruiser" holster, but an internet search doesn't show it being available for the Ruger p90. Am I missing it, or if not, does another maker have a similar model that would fit my Ruger p90? Thank you

Local shop has an s&w model 10 snub nose with stag grips. The frame is square butt; I would like to buy the gun and round the corners of the butt to create a round butt grip. Can i grind/sand/file the stag grips to match the frame as rounded? Never did this before, and unsure if the effort...

Thanks for the replies- very helpful. I offered to trade it to a local dealer for another gun and got the offer mentioned. At this point I think I will put it away in the safe and hold on to it. The issue for me was the slide; I have old (carpel tunnel and/or arthritic) hands and don't easily...

I recently purchased the captioned pistol- it is the nickel finished, wood-gripped version. Includes 2 magazines and the original box. I tried to sell it recently and was offered about half of the $1,000 i paid for it. I was thinking this gun, being in my understanding a higher end version...

Thank you all for the comments- i will be following up in a day or two and will post the results here

I bought a used 20 gauge 870 Wingmaster today. When i was examining it in the shop i noticed that if i operated the slide (no shell involved- slid the slide forward to the maximum available point) and then raised the muzzle up the slide would slide back towards the receiver. Is this because...

I am looking at a 229 at the local shop. This one is chambered in .40 s&w. Everything seems ok except i can 'pinch' or compress the slide into the frame slightly at the muzzle. No side to side just top to bottom. Is this a cause for concern? Thank You

Many thanks!

I purchased a glock barrel, labeled for a 40 s&w, thinking to use it in my Glock 32, to shoot the 40 caliber round. I got it home and it will insert into the slide for my Glock 32. However, it extends past the front of the slide- i think this is the barrel for a Glock 22, not the 23 If this is...

Kind of a weird question but here goes- looking for a semi-auto handgun similar to the Kimber Ultra plus 1911. (Round-butt, full sized grip frame, short barrel and slide). Doesn’t have to be a 1911, but would have the larger grip frame and shorter barrel. Trying to find a cheaper alternative...

I am considering the purchase of a 9mm pistol made by this company The price seems ok at $365, with two factory magazines and the gun seems to be in good condition with mostly cosmetic wear My concern is that (as I understand it) the company is out of business I don’t own a lot of guns and would...

The local shop has an HK p7 for sale- it looks good; very little if any wear on the finish. Comes with 3 magazines and the box. The price is good when compared to asking prices on gunbroker. My main concern about buying this gun is that it isn't made any longer; if parts replacement is...
