    Which Boberg XR9?

    ABBOBERG, This is Dr. Strangegun, I've just had this user account much longer than that blog. Anyhow, I have something to posit to you. Have you explored custom 9mm loads for these guns? With the claw lifter, since it has no ramps or forced angle changes, it would seem to me that it'd...

    AD from a smart carry type holster

    AD....ND... UD... no. I think we should call this a new category. Holster malfunction.

    Walther P-22

    Mine was an early one and hence was a labor of love... wouldn't feed right out of the box, turned out the chamber edge was razor sharp. After a few thousand rounds the safety loosened up and I deepened the detent holes to hold them in place. After about the 5000 round mark and an ungodly...

    Walther P-22

    Salient points on the P22 1. There are two points to check occasionally; Make sure both the barrel nut and the philips head screw in the side of the frame are tight. 2. There are directions out there on how to deal with a "saggy" safety. 3. Most P22s need better ammo to start and then...

    Are there still cheap Argentine Colt Sistemas out there?

    Still one at CCA, 865-966-4545, or at least there was tuesday.

    Firing underwater

    My best guess about the shotgun was that the petals on the plastic cup probably caught fast against the choke since water's so much thicker than air (it's all fluid dynamics regardless) and caused the overpressure.

    If there were to be a nuclear attack tomorrow by terrorists on an American city?

    Well, unless it's in my backyard or I'm downwind, I won't be doing much of anything. The explosion itself is likely to be a non-event, it's any rioting, looting, lawlessness, supply shortages, et.al. later on that you have to watch for. Now, if it's full-scale M.A.D, I can kiss my happy tail...

    Bed Time.

    6x.357, 158gr 1300fps, holstered, nightstand. No safety to speak of.

    I almost vomited when the package came in

    *shrug* seems to me that the more of a car is made in (northern) America, the better it turns out. Strange, given the propoganda... Toyotas and Nissans made here end up great Fords made in Mexico and GMs made in Canada end up badly Let's see, where are the outliers... Ah, Saturn. The Holy...

    Why do gun shops close on Sunday?

    We're open 9-9 weekdays, 10-7 saturday and 12-5 sunday. Most businesses have to realize, even disregarding sunday, that if they're only open 9-5 then they're going to lose a heck of a lot of business from the other poor Joes who work 9-5. At least stay open late during the week, otherwise...

    Gun safe falling through floor??

    You could put it on a large platform of 3/4" plywood to spread the weight around. Just a suggestion.

    Whadja get for BAG Day?

    As it turns out, my BAG day guns were two very nice condition rifles, a 1927 Izhevsk MN91/30 Dragoon conversion, and a "fake" 1944 No5Mk1 with a No4Mk1 reciever and a match bolt, and some Pakistani scribbling on the stock.

    CZ SP-01 Range Report and Questions

    I bought my 75B compact used with an unknown number of rounds through it, and the recoil spring had gone soft (1997 build). I changed that with a Wolff spring, and no problems for the ~5000 rounds since. Oh, and WWB bulk pack gives it fits. Wolf steel, laquered or plastic, no problems. It...

    Worst you ever owned....

    I'm mostly pistols now, so I don't have a "worst" for most of your categories, but... My walther P22. Comfortable, accurate, easy to shoot. Nice gun, if it weren't for it needing some light work with a file when I first got it to make it feed, and that it's now back at S&W for repairs after...

    The onus must be on the pro gun Lobby

    I would like to take the time to point out that if someone rants in all-caps using several local colloquiallisms and/or "pet names" that someone in another nation may never have heard or could make heads nor tails of, you will not get your point across, you'll simply sound like a blithering...
