    How fast does the slide move?

    Does anyone have an idea of how fast the slide of a 9mm pistol might move? I made a stupid mistake and put my support hand in a bad spot when shooting from sandbags and lost a chunk of skin. My thumb is also starting to bruise, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how fast the typical 9mm compact...

    Itching for a new CHL gun

    I currently carry a USP .40 and love that gun, but I'm looking for something smaller and cheaper to carry when I don't want to plan my wardrobe for carrying. At first I was looking at some snubby revovlers, but then I realized that I could get a semi-auto that carries 2x as much ammo and is...

    Cleaning gunk off a magazine tube

    I noticed that my 9200 has some buildup around the o-ring/gas port area, and I'm pretty sure that is what is causing a lot of my mechanical issues on this gun. What's a good way to clean it off? Can I just use the rough side of a kitchen sponge and some Hoppes No. 9, or do I need to pick up...

    Cross bolt safety is too stiff

    The safety on my Maverick 88 is too stiff to operate with my trigger finger. Is there any way to loosen it up a little? I've tried working it back and forth a bunch, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

    Mossberg 9200 gasket size?

    Does anyone know what size is used on the magazine tube? Mine is missing, and I don't really want to spend $6 to get one online if I can pick on up at the local hardware store.

    Clay etiquette? (and cheap shotgun note)

    When you guys are done shooting clays, do you police the landing area for unbroken clays? The guys I've been going with do this when we're all done, and we sometimes end up with more clays than we came with! I figure that it's the same as picking up used shells, if they don't care enough to...

    Ammo! WooHoo!

    Saw a box of .40 S&W (that wasn't $30/50rds) for the first time 6 months today! It's like seeing the first bird of spring. Maybe this ammo shortage is coming to an end. Have any of you guys been seeing more ammo around town?

    Maverick 88 barrel

    I'm pretty set on getting a maverick 88 (for price reasons and accessory options). The problem I'm having is that nobody in my area sells them, except for a mega-corp that refuses to sell any "combat or defense" related items so I can't get the shorter barrels. What do you guys think about me...
