    For academic purposes, of course...

    Note how few HKs are actually HKs (i.e., S&W, Walther, SIGs, Glocks, etc.). http://www.weblyest.com/articles/view/629 I can still appreciate their efforts.

    Worst Firearm Fail Ever!!!

    We are not talking "kaboom" kind of fail, but it is still a fail of monumental proportions. This is just wrong on so many levels, that I don't even know where to begin.... I decided that I needed to own all of my favorite James Bond movies, so among others, I bought the Special Edition 2000...

    Sarco grading?

    Hi All: I have purchased parts from Sarco before, but never pistols. Their customer service for parts was solid. However, now I am considering some of their pistols. How are they on their grading? A few companies have reputations for selling pistols that they rate VG, that look...

    It was a good day...

    I managed to snag a long-awaited CZ75 in nickel and a Colt 1911 (1991 NRM)...the same day! Two of my dream pistols--it simply doesn't get much better than this for someone into classic steel pistols like me! I was almost able to snag a SIG P220 and Browning Hi Power that same day, but they...

    HP Range Report, Dedicated to Mr. Camp...

    I went to the range on Friday with my new Hi Power and intended to write a range report, with among other things, a big thanks to Stephen Camp for his advice and inspiration to buy the pistol. It was with heavy heart that apparently I didn't get the report out before he passed away. I have...

    Hi Power Palmswell Grips?

    My perfect Hi Power grip would actually be just like CZ's palmswell checkered rubber grip. But no such grip exists that I have seen. I managed to get a hold of checkered rubber Uncle Mike's grips, but am disappointed: there is no palmswell, and the grip curves in the wrong places to make it...

    New ATI aluminum mag extention?

    Has anyone tried it? ATI's "polymer" shotgun mag tube extension apparently has a pretty bad reputation. But I see that for 2011, they now have an aluminum version. Does anyone have any experience with the new one, especially the Remington version? Thanks for your help!

    Very cool: Intimidator...

    http://www.maxton.com/c18add.shtml Holy Transformers, Batman! Wow--this is a 3-D metal cube sculpture, that can be broken down and reassembled into a .45 caliber pistol. It even has a special lock to keep its secret secure, and has a laser sight when fully assembled. I think the guy is even...

    Buck Mark Questions...

    I've settled on getting a Browning Buck Mark for a target plinker. But now the question is which one... I like the looks of the Camper (and price!), but want fiber optic sights, which brings me to the Practical. For the ~$30 difference on Buds, is it worth just getting the Practical? 1...

    Refinished my CZ82...

    I finally got around to refinishing my CZ82. It was a bit beat up, as you would expect for a used milsurp pistol. So here's what I did: 1) I put Beretta 92 baseplates on the mags so that the grip would fit my hand better. They slide right on with no modification. 2) I sprayed PlastiDip...

    S&W 3913 good for range use?

    Hi Everyone: I am considering buying a S&W 3913. After reading up on it, it has a great reputation as a carry piece/CC weapon (let alone a good reputation generally!). Someday I may get a CCW permit, but in the meantime the pistol will really only be a range toy. Is it appropriate for...

    Arched mainspring housing on officer's 1911?

    I have heard that you can buy arched mainspring housings for officer's 1911s. But I am not sure of this, nor have I seen any pictures. 1) Do any of you know if this is true? 2) Do any of you have any pics of such that you could share? Thanks for your help everyone!
