I bought an old S&W 645 a few months ago but I don't think it's safe to fire. At some point the rt. side safety lever had been drilled through and re attached but I finally removed it because it kept comming loose. The main problem I have is that when I pull back the slide the hammer doesn't...

I've been bragging for over 2 yrs now how dependable and nice to shoot my old 2003 polymer frame Kimber BP Pro Ten II is. Or should I say was. Lately the slide stops with the round only about 1/2 way in. The ramp is clean. I'd hoped it was just the cheap Win. Range rounds I've been using but I...

I know, I've stated several times that I'd never trade off my old 72 Security Six because it was in such great condition I'd likely never find another one like it but it's gone. (along with $300). I've got to learn to control these impulse buys or I'm just gonna keep spending and losing money. I...

If the sign says "No concealed weapons", I suppose that means no OC either....right?

I absolutely love firing my old 2003 Kimber BP Pro Ten II. It's definately not a safe queen and I frequently carry it. The finish was really nice a couple of years ago but not now. Don't really care because it's dependable, acurate and shoots really nice for a shorter barrel .45acp. and I have...

What would be the best defensive ammo for me to carry in the CZ SP 01 Phantom? I'll put enough rounds through it to make sure there's not a problem of course, but other than that I hope never to need it, in which case price is not a concern. I just want a round that would stop a threat the...

Took a few guns to the range early yesterday morning before anyone was there to tell me I wasn't allowed to shoot outside of the structures. I wanted to fire from 20-25 ft. not 25 yds. I had 2 Glocks-the 23 and 26, the CZ Phantom SP 01, Kimber PB Pro, S&W Mod. 36, and my Sec. Six. I've been...

:banghead: All I planned on doing yesterday was going to the gun shop and ordering a CZ SP01 Phantom. I took my used Springfield XD .40 along for some target practice. After firing 50 rounds through the XD and about 30 rounds through other guns, I ended up trading the XD (that I've had for just...

I picked up a 2009 SA.XD .40 SW for $400 this afternoon. I think that's a bit high but it didn't show much wear at all and the bbl. grooves looked like new so maybe I didn't get hurt much. I actually like shooting it better than I do my G-23 (so far). Had 2 13 round mags with a double v shaped...

Are there any other handgun shooters out there who have lost the sight in one eye? It may not have been as much problem if it had not been my right eye. I know, the obvious answer is to learn to shoot with my left hand. I'm working on that, but it's going to take some a while. In the mean time...

Two of the ladies in our church recently got their CCW permits. I asked one of them the other day what they had decided on for carry. She told me, "We both bought Jennings .22's" She also said they had fired a "clip" through both of them at the range. They used their Dad's old .22 revolver for...

My local gun shop[ has a High Standard Sport King Mod. 103 .22 target pistol with the original box. (ser. #21071xx) Not sure of the mfg. date but was told the dark brown box with yellow lettering would indicate the gun dates from the late '50's to early '60's. It's priced at $350 which seems a...

Gave my old S&W 1958 4" bbl. Mod.14 to a very good friend yesterday. I haven't really been shooting it much anyway and he always looked at it like I once did my first wife. I have no family that really enjoy handguns, and he said he'd pass it on to his son keep it in their family. His son said...

I'd like to find original wooden grips for my '74 Mod. 36 (impossible I know) so I'd settle for replacements. I like the Pacs I have on it, but would like to see how it looks with the old wooden grips. Where would be the best place to find them?

I just realized what a good deal (I think) I got on my target pistol (S&W.22A LR 5" black bbl/slide,gray frame) @ $150 nib! It's not as good as some, but for the money I really like it. I'm wondering if they didn't make a mistake of about $100 when pricing it. I guess I should ask, but after...

I found a very old thread on this subject but it didn't answer my question. I'm new to Glocks. Recently purchased a G 23 and a G 26. I was told that replacing the stock 5.5 lb. connector with a 3.5 lb. on the G 23 would be an improvement. I don't have a clue. However, it does seem to me that if...

I am continually amazed at the accuracy of my old '74 Sec. Six. With the adjudtable rear site I have been able to compensate for for being blind in my once dominate right eye. I almost changed the original grips but decided to stick with what works. Last week I took out with the old '72 BH 6...

I've been considering buying a .22LR for the range with the idea of improving accuracy with my autoloads. I bought the Glock 23 to use as my main carry gun but have gone back to the old Kimber.45 because I lack the accuracy to feel confident or comfortable with the G 23. Since the basics are the...

A self proclaimed "firearms expert" at our church recently informed me that carrying my new G 26 with Black Talon ammo is not legal. Is there any truth to this? I know they are no longer manufactured and I do have some concerns as to the age and reliability of the rounds, but it doesn't make...

I rencently purchased a Glock G 23 and I have no complaints concerning the performance or quality of the gun. But I don't understand why both mags, designed to hold 13 rounds will only take 12. Neither will take 13 Rem. Golden Sabers or the Hornady's I like to use for carry. I'm not saying it's...
