After reading a recent post regarding the Springfield XD, I read that the firing pin is under constant tension. Is this a good thing or bad thing? The comments seemed negative and I was wondering if someone could please explain. Could this lead to an AD? I know that the Glock is a striker...

I'm thinking of refinishing my XD9 Service with Springfield's Army Kote. I've heard a few stories about the XD9's finish not being as robust as some other pistol's finishes. So, I figured that I'd take the necessary precautions and hopefully do what I can to avoid potential rust problems...

I'm really torn between two 9mm pistols, The XD-9 and the CZ P-01. I find both of them to be a very good fit for me personally and I really like the way that they both shoot. Since price for them is pretty close (here in Maryland anyway - don't get me started on that), I'm having a hard time...

Hey all, It's been awhile since I've posted. You know... life happens. Anyway, I currently own a CZ-75BD. I like it. It shoots well and it's reliable. I have about 200-300 rounds through it. To make a long story short, I've heard some rumors that the CZ-75BD's sear tends to wear out...

I've been reading past posts and asking a few questions here about which 9mm handgun to get for personal protection. I've narrowed down the choices between the CZ-75BD/P-01 or the Sig 226/228. I know cost is a big difference between the 2, and I'm on a budget. I know that the CZ's are...

I've been eyeing the CZ-75 and P-01 models because of all of the great reviews. I've shot them and I really like them. Perfect fit for my mits. I want one! But here in Maryland, handgun prices are outrageous. A CZ-75 costs about 470 bucks for the BD model. The cheapest I've been able to...

I'm looking for some help to pick out a rifle. I'm mostly a handgun shooter, but have been wanting to enter the world rifle shooting for some time. I've been shooting some friends' rifles here and there and thought that I had decided on an AK variant of some sort. But now, I'm not so sure...

Well I finally made it out to the gun shop yesterday and was able to inquire about some of the different AK brands. If any of you are from Maryland, I can't recommend a better place to shop than the Gun Rack in Burtonsville. The guys there are very honest and helpful, and they're not into just...

I've been shooting my ruger 10/22 for some time now and have decided to step up to a new rifle platform. After trying a few calibers and platforms, I think I want an AK in .223. I tried the mini-14 and wasn't wowed by it. I also shot a friend's bushmaster. It was ok, I liked the accuracy...

Can the Vepr K in .223 caliber handle 5.56 Nato ammunition like the AR-15? I know that most rifles in .223, like the ruger mini-14, can't. But I remeber hearing somewhere that the Vepr could. I checked www.robar.com but couldn't find the answer in the faq section.

I was just wonderinding if anyone has any pics of the internals of the CZ P-01. I was wondering how the fit and finish was on these newer models. I currently own a CZ-75 BD, but I'm thinking about trading up to the P-01 if the internals are better. The internal work on my BD is pretty ugly...

I've been looking at 1911's again. It seems like there is alot of confusion regarding their quality (especially regarding MIM parts) and the modernization of their (re)design (external extractor, full length guide rods, etc.). I'm not really into competition shooting (not yet anyway - I did...

How reliable are the full size CZ-75 series and the newer compact P-01's at feeding hollow point ammunition?

Thanks for all of the many responses to my other post here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=93877 All of the information has been very helpful. I decided to post a poll to help me decide what to purchase. I know may of you use the 9mm on various design platforms (each...

I have a dilemma. I've fallen in love with 2 guns. One is the Sig 228 and the other the glock 19. The bigger part of the dilemma is that, you guessed it, I can only afford ONE right now! :mad: I have rented and shot both and they both were perfect shooters and liked them both equally...

A little while back I had a question about my Springfield Stainless loaded model: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=84135 Since the wonderful state of Maryland has approved 2 new internal locking devices, it has opened up new opportunities to trade my Springer. It has...

Does anyone know which .40 caliber model of the glock has the most kaboom issues? I was just wondering if the compacts or the fullsize models were more prone to the issue or if it was all entirely ammo related. Maybe there's a trend in frame size in relation to kaboom occurance and that could...

I've decided to post a poll based on my thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?threadid=84024 What do you think I should do?

A few weeks ago a posted a topic asking for firearms purchase advice: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81857. I ended up getting a Spingfield Loaded Stainless 1911 (in .45 ACP). It seemed to have the normal teething problems that a 1911 has. It had a few FTE and a few...

This is my first post here. First and foremost, I'd like to thank all the members for their informative posts. I have been searching the boards for the past 2 months and reading up on many topics. It has been a great and enjoyable research tool. After all of my lurking, I've finally decided...
