A few years ago I purchased one of their compact 10mm handguns. The magazines held 12 rounds and I could at best load 9. When I was finally able to reach their customer service I was told there was no way there was an issue with their magazines and they refused to help. With so many...

A good article from TTAG. Maybe Glock isn't the problem. (Sarcasm is intentional) https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/americas-murder-city-cook-county-il-gun-cases-not-prosecuted-locally-feds-arent-prosecuting-either/

Chicago has a history of blaming others for their failed policies which have led to it being a crime ridden city. The most common thing I heard when living there was the failure of neighboring states to have more stringent gun laws leads to an influx of guns into Chicago from those states. It is...

The divide we're seeing in the country is escalating, and the differences between states is significant. I'm now in Wisconsin, about 20 miles from the Illinois border. I can walk into a gun store, buy a gun and walk out with it immediately. We have no "assault" weapon or magazine bans. Drive 20...

The best advice I can give someone is to view ammo prices as a commodity. They rise and fall based on any number of reasons. When prices drop stock up so when prices go up you can avoid having to purchase it at the higher prices or worse, not be able to shoot because it's not available. I...

I've been a fan of Nighthawk Custom since I picked up a used .45 Talon a while ago. Reading vanfunk's post on the Thunder Ranch Combat Special he picked up chambered in .45 peaked my interest in it. A LGS had a used one chambered in 9mm that looked like it's hardly been fired, and every weekend...

Attached is a link to his Youtube channel. It was updated 20 hours ago but doesn't mention his passing. OP, are yo sure the news of his passing is accurate? Where did you see this? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=paul+harrell

Thanks for the responses. I ordered a slide stop from Wilson Combat. I have a couple of their guns, the EDC X9 and X9S and have had good experiences with their products. It may be a drop in part, but if not there's a local gun smith I can bring it to.

I have three Staccato's, the P, C2 and CS. All three are gems and IMO you won't go wrong with one of the models you mentioned from them. I'm not familiar with Atlas and don't know one way or another if they're worth the premium you'll pay.

I have a 9mm Guardian with, I'm guessing between 1500 to 2000 rounds through it. It's functioned perfectly from day one until recently when the slide release came out partially while I was shooting it, locking the gun up. I was able to push it back in and keep shooting without it occurring...

Fastbolt touched on this. The place to start is to somehow stop the war on LEO's we're seeing which has led to departments not being able to find qualified candidates. I understand that this is a nearly impossible task in today's social and political climate. When I was taking LEO tests in the...

I understand your point, but one of the, if not the most important things our LEO's do is protect us from those who wish to harm us. Mass shootings have unfortunately been occurring long enough and often enough that they are no longer a surprise. Churches like the one I attend understand that...

Elkhorn Gun Barrel. That was their sale price over the weekend. Right now it’s listed for $3800. I don’t know if they would honor the sale price or if it’ll go back on sale next weekend.

We have a brief reprieve from winter, with 70 degree temperatures today. I took a walk down the road running past our house down to our lake. I had my Shield Plus. We're surrounded by farms and have a lot of deer in the area, but for whatever reason they avoid our road.
