    Well I bought it (pics)

    Does it fire from an open bolt or a closed bolt?

    Will you use steel ammo in your $1K+ 1911?

    I shoot steel ammo out of my DW all of the time... I really don't see the problem with it at all. What gripe do people have with shooting steel ammo? Is it harder on the gun? Not as accurate? I’m interested to know....even though it wont change my practice at all. I don’t put premium gas in my...

    Has anyone seen what Dan Wesson is doing to their slides?

    It looks awful. I always thought their logo was ugly...and now it's a billboard. Yikes. (I have a dw also...so I'm partial to their pistols).

    St. Louis Gun Shops

    Otto Matyska of ottocomp in Afton is who I've been sending my stuff to. Hes a real nice guy who does great work quickly for a reasonable price. It's not a retail store...more of a smoke filled bunker....He builds custom guns too. I recomend him (google his name too, many other satisfied people).

    Ruger Mark 3 or .22lr SP101 ?

    I also disagree. It's a common misconception that this gun is difficult to service. It's perpetuated by people who dont care to read or take the time to learn how to do something. Not trying to be a jerk, just calling it as it is. Im not saying anything bad on you. All I'm saying is that you...

    Will a 357 Blow your eardrums out indoors?

    I've fired a 125gr jhp 357mag indoors with no hearing protection. It was a very confined space. It was a jolt to the system and my ears were rining...but my hearing returned to 'normal' relatively quickly. No blown eardrums here.

    Spyderco Salt or Benchmade H20 or other

    I really like Spyderco products. They are reasonably priced (if you dont pay MSRP on them) and are quality knives. I carry an Atlantic Salt clipped/ tethered to my harness when I go Kiteboarding... just incase I get snared in my lines and I might drowned. The knife is constantly submerged in...
