I had an earlier PT145 when Taurus first came out with them. With that first gun, I was impressed with the small size, the light trigger, the "shootability", and the accuracy. I think it may have been my first .45, and I liked it. But... pins backed out, the rear sight rotated, and then the...

I've been carrying a gun as often as possible for several years now. With me, every ounce makes a big difference in daily carry, but I want to carry as much gun as I possibly can. Has anybody weighed .38 and 9mm ammo? If we know what one round weighs, (124 gr. is a good start) then we'll...

Hey guys, A buddy just traded for a S&W military .45 revolver, (model 1917 maybe?). He says it has excellent blueing, no rusting or pitting. The grips have some wear, but overall, the gun is like-new. He says it has several military markings on it. A Blue Book that is several years old...

I've got a Watch Six that is absolutely the best for IWB carry of my G36. I'd like to get something equally flat and concealable for OWB carry of my Kahr PM9. Any suggestions?

I was at the gunshow in Knoxville on Sunday, but the only AR lower receivers being sold were made by Doublestar. Does anybody know of a place locally that sells lowers? I would prefer Mega or Stag. Thanks.

Anybody heard about a recall on Kahr PM9s? I copied this from the Kahr board on Glocktalk: .................... Kahr customer service says the affected PM9 barrels are VB0004 to VB0999. The other series is VA0003-VA9999. .................... From what they are saying over there, you...

My dealer had a Taurus 9mm 24/7 in the case, so I asked to look at it. Seemed like a well-made gun. I've got mixed emotions about the Ribber grip, but it did feel good in the hand. It reminded me a lot of a XD, or maybe SW99. If I hadn't had such bad experience with a PT145, I may be...

I'd like to build one the blackpowder "carbine" kits. (Renegade I think?) I won't scope it, or hunt with it, it'll just be for shooting paper, and tin cans. I know it's going to require a lot of hand finishing, so here's my question: Can I just buy the cheapest kit I can find, or are some...

Here's the deal: I've owned a Glock 19 and 23. The 23 was a little "jumpy", but not painful I've currently got a (.45) Colt Defender. I'm finding myself working too hard on my grip, to enjoy shooting the gun. I'm looking at a .40 cal. Kahr. I think I would prefer the steel K40, as...

I would like my semi-auto home defense/ plinking/ woods/ tactical rifle to be as accurate as possible. A lot of guys send their Mini 14s and 30s out for a 3-4lb trigger. That seems a little light for a "working" gun for me. I would think a trigger that light would be better suited to a...

I'm looking for velocity and expansion info. on different ammo from a 3".45acp. Anybody got links, or data?

I'm waiting to get a Watch Six holster, but the delivery time is 2-3 months. So, I ordered a "blemished" Inner Piece (Desantis?) to hold me over. Has anybody tried one of these? Are they comfortable?

Picked up a new Colt Defender on Saturday. Took it right to the indoor range with 1 box each of the following: Winchester White box, UMC, S&B, and Wolf. All fmj, 230gr. Also took 1 box of Winchester White Box 230gr jhp. I picked up two Shooting Star mags, and wanted to try them out...

I'm thinking about sending my Mini14 barrel off to get it cut down, and re-crowned. The two options are 11 deg. crown, and 90 deg. crown. I've heard these terms before, but I'm not sure how different they look. I'm figuring the 90 degree looks closer to factory. Can somebody post some...

I've got a Winchester .22 semiauto rifle that is about 30 years old. There is a part in the receiver that acts as a recoil stop, or bolt stop. It was originally a small "L shaped" piece of hardened spring steel. The original part is broken. I ordered some replacements from the...

(I also posted this on www.rimfirecentral.com hoping to get some enlightmentment.) My P22 is serial number L0215xx. After about 1000 relatively trouble-free rounds, I started having the following problems. 1. First round would fire but not eject. After cycling the slide, the other 9 would...

I was thinking about this the other day. Ruger has the 10/22 and the .44 mag carbine. They could probably start making a .30 cal version with a couple weeks worth of engineering. I bet, if they made a M1 copy, that used government mags, it would sell like hotcakes! Yeah, I know. I've...

I picked up a gun rag the other night, and skimmed an article about having a handgun "battery". The author says he wants an "always" gun, ie: NAA .22 or Seecamp .32, etc. Also wants a "pocket gun", as in .38 snub. Ok so far. Next, he says we need a compact carry gun, and he lists a couple...

I wanted to find a .22 handgun that would be really fun to shoot. I was willing to try revolvers and autos, and was actually leaning toward a revolver. (I had a Ruger MK2, stainless that was a fine gun. But, I realized one day that I never took it out of the safe. For some unknown reason, it...

I just got back from a week of doing mostly "touristy" stuff. I used a Belt Pak, from Uncle Mike's for the first time. It is a small pouch that you wear on your belt, with a Velcro "tear away" panel that conceals the gun in the back of the pouch. You can access your wallet, keys, etc. without...
