    Guns with Character

    From this thread we may conclude that every gun ever has character. Especially the Hi-Point C9.

    Couple of Redhawk quesitons

    Aha, thanks. I just learned mine is 1987 manufacture. Wolfeye mentioned Hogue rubber grips for these guns. I have a set of these..somewhere..unless I threw them away, which is very likely. These one-piece grips fill in the space between trigger guard and frame, and shift the hand...

    Ciener conversions-which is most reliable?

    Before you buy from Ciener, do a google search for "ciener customer service."

    Couple of Redhawk quesitons

    Congratulations on your purchase of a heavy, unwieldy massive chunk of steel that shoots through schools! I love Redhawks. Where did you check for the manufacture date? I'd like to see when mine was made. Anyway, for mounting scope, I think you'll need a set of Ruger's proprietary rings...

    custom revolver completly scratch up

    Interesting. (edit) this shows up as a thread by Sonier, who is not registered and does not have an account. There aren't any posts in the thread (well, except mine, which is technically a reply and not new post). I just wanted to see if I could post in it. Woo I'm super special.

    Pawn Shop Gun. Why Drill Holes in S&W Revolver?

    That's where a sideplate screw used to sit, I think? I don't have a Smith in that model, so I'm not sure. But I'm guessing the screw rusted in place, so the owner tried removing it by drilling from the left side of the frame. He stopped when he realized he'd also destroy the trigger, or...

    one-handed shooting: why tilt?

    Because it's more comfortable? For me it varies with the gat gun. For instance I'll hold almost every revolver straight. Same with a target .22 auto. But something about the shape and recoil of a larger-caliber automatic makes me tilt the thing to the side. Very slightly for a Sig, about...

    Left Handed Pistols

    How about a Browning Hi-Power? Ambidextrous safety and magazine release are easy to find on google. And, though I can't find one right away, there are ambi slide release kits - they replace the original release lever/pin with a two-part one. It'll still throw empties to the right though...

    Stupid Question - Ruger Mark III vs RIA 1911

    1911s are nice but you already have two good guns for defense or whatever. A .22 will allow you to get a lot of practice on the cheap - there's no arguing with paying $25 or less for a pack of 500 rounds. Also, a Mk.II or III is just fun as hell. Accurate, reliable, almost no recoil at all.

    .22 with easy takedown/reassembly?

    Someone recommended Ruger? Seriously? First of all you need a mallet to dislodge the mainspring housing assembly/bolt stop pin. Not always - but it's always been a very tight fit on all new Rugers I've handled. Second, keep that mallet if you want to separate the upper from lower for...

    Ever find gun mistakes in books?

    Seconded. I loved the first three books, years and years ago. Pity the series turned to pure unadulterated suck. More gun writing from that hack includes an M-16 that recoiled so hard trying to fire it was like shooting a jackhammer, and especially Roland's revolvers. Several times King...

    Sorry to quote myself, but Why noooooo. Never. He obviously doesn't exist.
