I was just admiring huntershooter's thread in the Handguns: Auto's forum and admiring his engraved 1911 and beautiful new holster. Rather than hi-jack his thread I thought I'd start a new one here. The holster in his thread is completely cut-away from the gun's trigger guard. I happen to have...

First off, I know I'm committing the ultimate but most common mistake with a 1911: fixing something that ain't broke! But hear me out:.... It seems to me a lot of the 1911 problems I hear about stem from guys who get their new gun, watch a youtube video on how to do a detail strip, and then...

Need a shooting game.....OR "Help me give away this gun". In a way I guess it kind of sucks that my favorite revolver also happens to be my daughter's favorite revolver. Who can blame either of us, it's a S&W Model 65 "Ladysmith". (As far as I'm concerned one of S&W's best offerings ever.) I...

I don't mean the cheapest one that works! I have been looking for a 1911 "other than" a full-size or Commander-size steel .45. So either something in 9mm or some type of lightweight and/or compact .45. I was recently checking out a few models of Sig 1911 that I had not previously considered...

I'm really loving my 1911's these days. I have 2 full-size .45's that I currently enjoy shooting more than any of my other guns. I'm looking at compact 9mm models just for a little variety. This won't be specifically for carry as I currently own a S&W 'Shield' 9mm for that, but of course any...

I overheard a gun shop guy wondering out loud today whether any of them would say no to selling mags with higher than civilian capacity or laws along any other lines. (Sorry NYSP, only 7-round mags for your...[whatever they carry]) I know this did not happen last ban because LEOnly stamped...

Sorry, I know this is touched on in another THR thread...I just can't find it! I just shot my "new to me" Ruger Mark 2 for the first time last night. (I found one used in pretty good shape with 6" tapered barrel that I couldn't pass on for $180 OTD.) I love this pistol. I bought a new...

Might be a lot quicker to answer this than it's going to take me to ask it: I've been looking a lot lately at .380's and 9x18's. I don't currently own a gun in either caliber. I mainly started looking at LCP's, P3AT's, etc as a pocket gun which had me also "just looking";) at larger...

I am not "into" rifles..(much! :rolleyes:) Seriously, I've always been mainly a handgun guy but decided a while back it made sense to own one decent rifle. When I started looking it was "post-election" and AK and AR prices took those models out of the picture. I had pretty much settled on...

I'm considering a new or 'gently used' BHP for my next handgun purchase. I really like the fixed sites and no frills finish on the late model MkIII's. I've seen NIB standard models in this configuration for a little over $800. Lately I've noticed a couple of the "75th Anniversary Model"...

I'd like to know how those with near- or far-sightedness deal with shooting. I'd guess those near-sighted see their sites very well but may have trouble with their target at distance. If you need reading glasses, you might not have trouble seeing a distant target but how are you at focusing on...

I am getting ready to photo a bunch of unused accessories to auction online. (Mostly grips, holsters, etc. that I've tried and not warmed-up to.) My "gun money" always stays "gun money" so I'll use the proceeds toward another gun or gun-related accessories. I recently acquired a S+W 6906 from...

I am looking at a "Combat Government Model" and mentioned it to a friend. He stated what I wrote in the thread title and said they have a reputation for not holding up over time and high-volume shooting. Stated they just "beat themselves to death" due to the use of lesser quality metals. He...

I recall reading a post - maybe here, but might have been on another board - where someone wanted all the members to post info and pics of every gun they had until we pretty much had every possible gun out there. A few people responded with links to websites that pretty much already did that...

I will hopefully be getting my first rifle very soon - most likely an SKS. Being a typical gun guy, buying my first rifle gets me thinking about... my second rifle!!:D I've pretty much settled on an SKS because of it's jack-of-all-trades appeal. Semi-auto; easy maintenance and parts...

I am getting ready to buy my first rifle, most likely an AK or SKS. If I go SKS I will probably want two; keep one stock and add a folder, pistol grip, 20-round fixed mag, etc. to the other. I know once you go that route there are additional parts you need to swap to be 922(r) compliant. I...

I am not a "Rifle guy", but am looking into possible first purchase. (Hi, my name is Jim and I'm a panic buyer!) It seems the basic search/research always leads people towards one of the above. What others aside from the above, do any of you recommend with the following guidelines?: 1)...

I am a would be "panic buyer". After the election and probably more importantly, the Mumbai attacks, I said to my wife: "I'm buying an AK47!" I was surprised she didn't even blink. I started doing basic research and as most do, arrived at the old: "AK, AR, Ruger Mini or SKS" crossroads. I am...

Please-this is not about KelTec quality or a caliber discussion. Nor am I looking for alternative carry modes. My past experience with KT's leaves me no worries about reliability or accuracy, and I am fine with a nine for power. I am specifically interested in "pocket-carryability". I...
