I am considering my next AR build, and I am wondering about the necessity of muzzle devices. I have more powerful rifles than .223, and they make do with no flash hider, compensator, ect. So I have a couple of questions. I like barrels on the shorter side. I'm thinking about a 10.5 barrel, so a...

Not to long ago I purchased my first 1911, a Kimber Custom LW. After a few mods (most importantly grips and an arched mainspring housing) I'm growing very fond of it. I don't have much trouble concealing it, but it is long. I'd like to buy a compact version, like a commander configuration. What...

Need to start be saying that I love the TX 22. It is a perfect trainer for my various plastic service pistols, with a similar form factor and a 16rd magazine capacity. It is accurate, and for the most part, reliable. All of the reliability issues are in the magazines. They are a double stack...

I just purchased a used Kimber, a Custom LW full-size with an aluminum frame in .45 acp. I shot about 100 rds through it this weekend. I had a malfunction twice, the same failure to go fully into battery. Now, this was NOT a failure of the round to go into the chamber. both times the round was...

I just purchased my first 1911, a used Kimber Custom LW. I have a few questions, that may be old info to some, or my gun may have a problem. The first is that the gun was pretty consistently hitting high, about 6-7 inches at 25 yard. The sight picture is weird. The red dot in the front sight is...

20201003_120902 by mountaindrew posted Oct 3, 2020 at 12:09 PM Do I have an AR with a Aluminum handgaurd that has too many sharp edges. I'd like to smooth them out, kind of like a "carry melt" but that would ruin the finish. So I thought I could just do the same to the whole rifle and leave the...

So in the last few years i have finally gave up and started wearing the glasses I should have been forever. I just have a standard pair of thin wire frames, but no matter how i adjust them, the top line always seems to end up perfectly in alignment with the cross hairs of my scope. I try to push...

I am looking for any other kahr shooters out ther to chime in on this. I everyday carry a Kahr pm9, And I love it. It points perfectly naturally for me, and I love the trigger. I wouldn't trade this gun for anything as a carry piece. My question is, is there a duty sized, double stack gun...

I just purchased a CZ100 in .40 and it came with a 10rd mag. I can only get 6 rounds in the mag. As you insert the 7th, it jams up hard. I have dissasembled the mag and it looks fine, in fact, the rounds bind up even if there is no spring tension at all. It looks like the rounds are binding...

I justy bought an old smith revolver, It was represented to me as an M&P .38, but I have some doubts. It Is a K-Frame that has been reblued. It has a 5" pencil barrel with a round, stepped front sight, pinned at the frame. Barrel is marked 38 S&W cartridge and the top has patent dates ranging...

I need some help. I got into som poison ivy the other day, and I am seriously alergic. My right hand is affected to the point of a serious loss of dexterity. My trigger finger and middle finger are covered in blisters and oozing sores. From experience it will be about a week before They start...

I just aquried a Kahr PM9 through a trade with another forum member and I wish to become proficient in its use. The Kahr is goint to replace my KT P3at that I was never able to shoot very well.:uhoh: I need suggestions regarding effective and efficient practice routines. I am not rich, (Owning...

Over the last few years my right front pocket has simply become my "gun pocket" and since it usually holds a KT p3at, it fits in any pair of pants. Now I am going to upgrade my carry piece, and the pockets in my jeans are not ideal for carrying a larger gun, like Kahr PM9 or a 2inch snubbie. I...

I saw a Rossi 462 in a gunstore the other day and was intrigued. It is an all steel six shot snub nose. I was curious because the frame seemed like a j-frame size, or maybe jusr slightly larger, but the cylinder held six shots of .357 What size frame is this? is it comparable to a k frame or...

I am going to one of those Dude ranch/cattle drive vacations in Montana this summer with my father. I know my permit is good in Montana and Wyoming, but I am not sure of the ranch's rules about guns. I am uncomfortable asking thier policy as I intend to carry anyway, But I would like to know if...

I am embarking on my first large scale gunsmithing project, So expect to here more from me in the near future. Well I just bought a S&W 1917 that has been abused in the past bu some hamfisted gunsmithing, and it is my quest to repair it, as well as do a few custom mods to bring it back into...

Well I am more excited than I probably should be since I just walked home with a known problematic gun, but I just love a challenge! I am one who sees the potential in a thing, not the current condition. Alright, So... It is a 1917 N-frame in .45 ACP. This is my first N-frame, my first big...

I have a converted Saiga. It is in .223 and I use modified chinese .223 mags for it. I used the Tapco trigger group (3 parts), a US pistols grip, and I made my own stock out of hardwood, so I had the required number of US parts. I recently found a side folding stock I want to use. I beliver...

I picked up this stock at a pawn shop today. It is obviously an AK style side folder, all steel with an aluminum mounting block and a plastic spacer/cube thing. It folds to the left rather than the right like Tapco, and it seem very similar to the Ace Ltd. stock but it has the hinge integral to...

In my searching for a set of grips for my soon project S&W 1917 I came across these. The website has no pictures but I believe they are the same shape as the rubber monogrips, but made out of hard nylon. The part that intrigued me was the statement that they "could be worked like wood to...
