    Blackhawk grips

    I have a couple of Blackhawks in .45. I haven't ever liked the factory grips. When I wrap my hand around the grip my middle finger doesn't match up with the lines of the grip, and it's uncomfortable. I want some rubber grips that are a little trimmer and no finger grooves. The problem is...

    Need a favor from a 45 lever gun owner

    I've been thinking for a while about a project gun. What I'd like to have done is to have the extractor modified on .45 colt lever rifle, 92 clone or a Marlin, so that it would fire .45AR shells. I have a local gunsmith that will do the work, but he has concerns about running such a short...

    9mm carbine info

    9mm carbine info request Beretta, Hi-point and Kel-tec (and Corbay I suppose) make 9mm carbines. I've got the Beretta. Can the owners of the others give me information on them. I've been thinking of a Kel-Tec that runs on Glock or Beretta magazines, but the idea of a rifle that was designed...

    Scope options for a Winchester 94

    High all. My Step father has been using a Winchester 94 to take deer for longer than I've been around. He likes that rifle, but hasn't got the eyesight for using the iron sights any more. He's tried different scope arangements, side mount and over the top, but doesn't like any of them...

    Good heavens. Laura Croft is a criminal

    Good heavens. Lara Croft is a criminal As I was watching the teaser for the next Tomb Raider movie, the line about "The queen wants you to proceed" or something to that effect, it suddenly hit me. Handguns are outlawed in GB, but she owns at least two. She doesn't work for the Government...

    Does this exist?

    I've been thinking what the ultimate gun would be. I know what I want, but don't know if it exists. Let's start with caliber. 9mm I think since it is so cheap. Now I want to build the gun around the cartridge. With the AWBan still pending, I'll have the magazine designed to hold 10 rounds...

    For those who like a movie with lots of gun play.

    Dillinger is on AMC tonight at 10:25 Eastern time. I guess I'll have to break from reloading to watch it. I think I like Pretty Boy Flloyd's theory on bank robbery. I can't remember the exact quote but it goes something like this: "Go in shooting, kill everyone in the place, take the money...

    I just had to share this.

    On Sunday, I took my son to his first IDPA match. He's closer to 11 than 10. He finally got enough strength to cycle the slide on my Glock 17 ESP gun and decided that he wanted to join in. He had me run the timer for him on the first 4 stages. The squad SO ran him through the last two...

    February Mail in Match

    I just got around to looking at the scores for the February match, .22 plinkers. results Am I reading this right??? We have two folks who, using a box stock 10/22 including crappy trigger and horrible factory iron sights are able to hit a pop can at 50 yards more than 3 out of 4 times from...

    EMF Hartford Rifles

    How is the quality of the EMF Hartford rifles. I saw one today in .45 Colt. It's the 20 inch short rifle. The price was $375. Sounds reasonable if it's a decent piece of equipment.

    .45 Colt Rifles.

    Can some one tell me if the Lever action rifles in .45Colt are stong enough to stand up the the loads that are listed as Ruger/TC only? I'm talking about the loads that are too much for the Colt and S&W designs. I really want one, but I don't want to have to baby it. Thanks.

    I've been wondering ...

    ... why the price of used 3rd generation Glock 21s are dropping? A year ago I couldn't touch one for under $475. Now they are being listed in the for sale section of several boards at $425 and going un-touched. Are all Glocks dropping or just the ones that I own?

    Troops uniforms

    I've been seeing pictures of the troops in the Gulf of late and noticed that the flags they display on the right sleeve of their uniforms are displayed incorrectly, stars in upper right instead of the upper left as mandated. Can anyone tell me why?

    45 Colt on ACP dies?

    I've got a Dillon 550. Just got a Blackhawk 45Colt. Do I need to get 45 Colt dies or just a new shell plate and back out the ACP seating and crimp dies? This is my first .45 Colt as an adult. Long long ago in a galaxy far away I had a Jager 45. One chamber was so bad that brand new brass...

    .357 opportunities

    Hello All, I have a chance to buy a 19-3. The old P&R 4 inch. Problem is the gun is in "rough" condition. There are several large blotches where rust has been treated. There is a little active rust on the rear sight. Yeah it's been around the block several times. The asking price is...

    4 Screw S&Ws

    I know the location of a couple of old M&Ps that I can probably pick up for aroun $150 each. They are quite old, but in good shape. The only thing slowing me down is that 4th screw on the side plate. Am I concerned about nothing? Is it more desireable from a collector stand point? Give me...
