    Unthreaded Remington 870 Barrel?

    Hello all, So I picked up a 12 gauge Remington 870 at auction that came without a choke tube. It has the Blackhawk adjustable stock, pistol grip and foregrip along with what they claim is an 8 round extended tube, all of which is in near mint condition. I bought a Remington brand 12g...

    Slide Sticking On My Ruger SR9

    I love my SR9 and have never had an issue whatsoever regardless of the ammo used. But then I screwed up. Rather than use the slide release button, I mistakenly pulled back on the slide to release it. It released only about a half inch where it normally would when using the button. Now it will...

    How to ship a gun back for repair?

    I have a Taurus that refuses to extract spent cartridges and want to send back for repair. It doesn't say on the website how to do the actual shipping. Do I take it back to the store for them to process? I don't want to just walk it into the local UPS Store. Sorry if this seems to be a stupid...

    Taurus P709 slim 9mm

    I just got one this weekend and can't wait to take it out shooting. I hate my LCP which seems to have trouble feeding any of the foreign ammos since I can't find anything other than Wolf or MFS. Glad to hear you guys like it.

    Charles Daily Tactical Shotgun Quality?

    Seems there are varying opinions on ole Charles. I am totally new to the brand but saw an add for this one and love the look. A chrome shotgun just seems bad arse to me. Besides, that was my grandfather's name, so there is some novelty in me buying one. Home Defense is good of course. But I...

    Best 9mm Subcompact

    Thank you all for your feedback. And yeah, I know Ermey is there to sell glocks. But hey, I've been a fan for a while, so right or wrong I listened to what he had to say. Concealcity.com has a cool LCP and P3AT holster that they claim some guy qualified for his ccw with it as its made to shoot...

    Best 9mm Subcompact

    Okay, so I was at the NRA event last week here in Phoenix and checked out more guns than I can remember and picked up a ton of reading material. I currently have an LCP that I am not liking too much since the trigger pull is way too long and hurts to shoot. I have little confidence I would hit...

    Do your local wal-mart shelfs look similar?

    I have three in driving distance of my office and they all have looked like this for most of this year. Just pathetic.

    Ruger LCR

    Ben, the post is actually about the LCR not the LCP. I have an LCP as well. Thanks though.

    Rise of the 380? Which is best?

    So, what exactly is the cause of the rise of the 380? It was always my understanding that only European police and the mafia use the 380. Now it appears to be THE hot item. It seems every time I get my American Rifleman or pick up Guns & Ammo there is a new 380 being developed. Beretta &...

    Ruger LCR

    Are these guns for sale now? I saw an ad not too long ago saying that they were coming in March but didn't say when in March. Any ideas? I gotta check it out after reading Guns and Ammo. Thanks

    Ruger LCR Recall Poll

    Ah, well this one has got some responses anyway. Granted I hate my LCP but I would put my SR9 against any other brand on this planet, bar none.

    Lellier & Bellot Ammo Oddities?

    So a while back Cabelas had Lellier & Bellot 9mm ammo cheap, and I picked up a few hundred rounds. I took two of the boxes two the range the other day and noticed something really odd. The first box of 50 had normal noise and recoil compared to the Wolf and Winchester ammo I used in the past...

    Century International Coachgun Woes

    Thanks for all the input. I did find my hammers were just for show. I stuck some paper in between the snap cap and firing pin to test it. Wished I had been smart enough to do that before losing some of the parts on the right barrel. Oh well. Now I know.

    Century International Coachgun Woes

    Gee Virginian, that wasn't very neighborly. Maybe if you slowed down yourself you could see what happened. I didn't get to see the switch took place until after I had already paid. I kinda wondered myself if the hammers were for show because it is definitely not a rebound situation. I put...
