Hi. Compare to the 1911, how is the Tokarev trigger reach? I've very small hands. And I went out and bought a 1911 because everyone said it is good for small hands. But the 1911's grip is still too big for my taste. And my trigger finger can barely reach the trigger. As a result, I don't...

Does anyone sell lighter slide spring for the P32? I bought 300 rounds of Federal American, and it feels very weak. I have to manually eject every round. Seems like Federal underloaded this batch of ammo. Can I get a lighter recoil spring so I can shoot these ammo? The seller will not take...

Hi. I just bought a little mouse gun, the Keltec P 32acp. I bought some Fiochhi FMJ, and it functions good. I also tried Federal and PMC. But they don't work in my P32. Anyway, I shot about 200 rounds. It is very fun to shoot like 22s. And then wonder may be I shouldn't practice too...

Hi. I'm thinking building a 1911 with Caspian frame and slide and match grade parts. I figure it'll cost over $1500 for parts. My friend is helping me, doing most of the work. He has built a half dozen of 'em and shoot 'em in matches with fantastic results. My question is how much would it be...

Hi. Met a gunsmith with a 1911 w/o sights. He build the gun and begin shooting it before he put the sights on. He liked to so much he decided to leave them off. The amazing thing is that he was beating, like, 80% of the competitor at the match. We were shooting steel plates. Biggest plate...

Hi. My .22 pistol spits hot lead on my hand and face when I use the Remington bulk ammo. But it doesn't spit when I use Federal bulk ammo. I got both ammo from Walmart. The Remington feels powerhouse. The Federal feels like gallery load. What does the spitting of hot lead when using hot...

Hi. What exactly does the title "Master gunsmith" means? Did the person take an exam? Go thru some kind of apprentice program? Etc... I am looking at a Norinco 1911. Seller claims it has new trigger parts by a certain "master gunsmith". I searched this gunsmith's name on gun forums but...

Hi. What is considered to be tight slide fit on a 1911? I am looking at a Caspian, and when slide is locked, it is very tight--no free play at all. I took it apart, and I just happend to put the gun all back together with everything but the recoil spring. Without the recoil spring, there is...

Hi. I just want to make sure. Is it okay to use a stainless firing pin in a Blued 1911? So in general, is there anything wrong with mixing stainless and blue metal?

Who sell 1911 Caspian slides? Bornells and Midway both have the one I want, but they're back ordered for 3 months. Who else online sells 'em? Thanks. Too ancious to wait that long.

Do most shooting club require NRA membership to join?

Is it safe to carry this gun that way like a 1911? It's a post war W. German police trade-in. Appears to be in good order.

Hi. I am interested in shooting in Bullseye league. So I went out and bought a used S&W 41 with 5.5" barrel and aimpoint red dot. The pistol functions fantastic, eats all kinds of ammo. But the problem is that the pistol is heavier than a piece of brick. I can't even hold the gun steady with one...

Is 6" slide heavier than 5"? If so, does that mean you have to run hotter load on 6" to get it to cycle? I may want to use it for Bullseye/PPC match, so I want the power factor to be low. Deciding to get a 5 or 6.

Hi. Anyone know if reading a gun magazine or a gunsmithing book is legal in places that ban guns, like China/Japan? I was thinking of bringing some reading material with me for the airplane and train. But wonder if that will raise eyebrows in custom.

Hi. Got a newb question for y'all. I was installing a patridge front sight on my Taurus 608 (large frame 357 revolver). I messed up, drilled the pin hole crooked. So no pin to hold the sight. If I mig weld the front sight to the barrel, will the electric current damage the barrel?

Going to have a lot of free time soon. Looking for reading material. Is there a book or anything like a "Custom Build a 1911 For Dummies"?

Hi. Just bought a FN/Bronwing 1910/1922. It shoots great, but there's a problem. I have hard time with the grip safety. I must squeeze the grip really hard, to disengage the safety. I never have problem with 1911's grip safety at all. But the 1910 has this little grip safety that barely sticks...

I know the Trooper MK3 is a budget gun. A brand new Taurus is about the same price as a used MK3. Which would you choose? I need a Pin gun. I already have a bunch of S&W, so I don't want another one.

Hi (1) If the fit between the muzzle end of the barrel and the slide is loose, does that mean the gun will never be able to shoot tight groups? (2) How much discount should I get, if the serial number on the slide doesn't match the one on the frame? Trying to pick out a Browning 1922...
