    Permit to purchase, new or renew?

    I know this is probably a dumb question, but I had a permit to purchase about 2 years ago, and want to get another to purchase a new revolver. I was wondering if because I had one in the past I check the renew box, or because it expired do I choose new. I'm from MN, not sure if that makes a...

    1911 hammer bite, get new hammer?

    So I've been dealing with hammer bite for awhile now and tried to get a new grip safety, but it didn't fit right. I have an older firearm, made in 1916. I think I remember hearing something that it might have a different angle in the grip safety. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a hammer...

    Ruger 22/45 work for lefty?

    I'm looking for something inexpensive to practice with. I've been thinking about the 22/45 for awhile, because of the grip angle, and my handgun I enjoy to shoot the most is a 1911. I shoot thumbs forward, and have had no problems with any semi-autos, but the 22/45 looks like the ejection...

    .22lr 1911 conversion form kimber question

    I was looking into a auto 22 pistol (I have a single six, but wanted something a bit faster). I was thinking about the ruger 22/45, but It would be cheaper to put this conversion on my 1911, and I mainly want it for practice for my 1911 anyway. I've read a few reviews on it, and it seems to...

    Converting Mosin-Nagant to pistol

    I saw a few pictures and videos of these little cannons, and became interested. For how inexpensive the 91/30 is, I want to pick up another one and convert it to a pistol. One video I watched, the guy said he has it registered as an SBR, but if you take off the stock, would it be possible to...

    .357 with 3" barrel performance

    I read awhile back that the .357 HPs will not expand properly out of a shorter barrel. Is that a problem for the true snubbies only (or a myth completely), or is my 3" better off using .38 +p? I reload my own ammo, but I've herd not to use reloads for defense because it "looks bad". I've...

    Do I have a Russian contract 1911?

    So I've been doing some research on my 1911, I've always known it was built in 1916, and was a commercial model. I assumed it meant it was for civilians, I didn't realize they sent out a bunch of them to other countries. My s/n is C64xxx I found this: Colt M1911 Russian Contract: S/N C23000...

    1911 Long-slide Conversion?

    I was wondering if it would work to modify my colt government into a long slide just by replacing the slide and barrel? I'm assuming the frame is the same size. I've been looking briefly for a slide only, but haven't seen any. If this is possible, can someone give me some direction in a...

    Leadsafe Rainier 200gr TMJ .45acp OAL question

    So I am new to reloading, and this will be first batch of handloads. I went over to midway to look for some bullets, and the one in the title is what I decided to get. The problem is I cannot find any reloading data on them. The manufacture's website says to use lead data (because the...

    SP-101 Durability

    I've been looking at a smaller revolver for awhile. Liked the J frames, but I hear they can't take a steady diet of full .357, and are inteded to be practiced with .38. Is the SP 101 able to take full load .357 or would you want to mix .38 in with that too? If I have to, I'll get a GP100...

    .338 win mag VS .300 win mag

    Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could give me some insight on these two rounds, and reloading them. I'm planning on getting myself a Mossberg 4x4 for a xmas present. I like the power, and size of the .338 better, but the ammunition is much more expensive. I just recently started...
