I rarely post on here, I usually just search the forums for information. I wanted to share a recent experience I had with the company We the People Holsters. I bought their OWB model for a CZ-75B. The holster does not fit properly around the magazine release and causes the magazine to eject...

I've been wanting a single stack, subcompact 9mm for awhile. I went in to my LGS determined to buy one and ended up with the pt709. I did look at the Kahr CW9, Ruger LC9, Baretta Nano, and the XDs. There was just something about the Taurus that I liked. The 709 fits in my hand nicely, it had...

I have an older model Hi Point 995 Carbine in the ATI Cx4 look-a-like stock. The carbine has developed hairline cracks in the bolt so instead of letting the gun blow up in my face, I've decided to send it back to Hi Point's factory in Mansfield, Ohio. When I called HiPoint I was...

I originally had purchased a Rock Island 1911 compact for ccw but I realized over the summer that this was a little large for every day. I needed something smaller and lighter for summer. I picked up a Ruger LCR in .38spc back in July and I'm rarely without it. I carry the LCR in one of 3...

I was in the LGS today looking for a .22 pistol. I've had my eye on the polymer framed 22/45s that are selling at some of the larger stores for around $250 but I decided to give the LGS in the area a chance. Nobody really had any comparable prices but one place did have a Ruger MkII that was...

I went into the shop today dead set on a S&W 438. Checked one out and was about to buy it when the salesman said "Before you buy this, you should check out the LCR, otherwise you're going to be mad a few days down the road when you see one". I thought he was giving me a line of crap but after...

I just acquired a classic model 995 carbine in an ATI stock... The big issue i've run into is that the mags don't seem to drop free... or even pull free sometimes. I'm not sure what is causing this but it upsets me :( I think that the previous owner shot it a couple times and then put it away...

My mother recently took a concealed carry course (and did quite well at the range). She is currently shopping for an autoloader and I'm trying to help her find something that fits her very specific needs. She has a number of health problems and has limited dexterity and strength in her hands...

I finally got my Rock Island Officer's 1911 today! Before I get into the meat and potatoes of it I'd like to make it clear that the handguns I have the most experience with are Glocks in various calibers. Naturally this is my best basis for comparison, however, I have shot many different...

I ordered a gun through my FFL last Wednesday. I'm 99% sure he ordered through Davidsons and as far as I know it hasn't been shipped! My FFL called Friday to tell me that they were shipping it that night. Apparently they apologized for the delay and said they've been swamped. They told him...

Title says it, just ordered the commander sized Rock Island 1911. It's a little odd because I've never ordered a gun before and now I have that feeling that we all got when we were kids. and we had to wait a month until Christmas for our Red Ryder. I did A LOT of reading on THR and various...

Hey everyone! I just got a super nice unissued Yugo SKS. I originally wanted an SKS so that I would have something to upgrade that I wouldn't care much about but it turned out to be the nicest surplus SKS i've ever seen :/ Its actually a really handy little rifle and I'm wavering now on...

Hey everyone, I was just offered an Egyptian Hakim in 8mm mauser. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about these guns. Are there any specific problems I should be looking for? Are parts available? Are they reliable? Any information would be extremely helpful

I just picked up a Hi Point 9mm carbine in trade, and I love it. Its definately not the best looking thing but it's better looking than the original model with the classic stock. It handles kinda funny... I don't know if its because of the gun or because I'm used to other things. Also the...

Hey everyone. I have a P3At that I got off of a friend and I have no idea when it was made or what generation it is. Is there a way to tell by the serial number or do i need to call Kel Tec? Also what makes a first gen different than a second?

I was offered a PT 709 Slim in a trade. I've found mostly mixed reviews, and from my own personal experience I've noticed that Taurus seems to be inconsistant: some of their guns are extremely accurate while others are lemons. This has shown in the PT92. Anyway, If anyone here has personal...

My M91/30 has a tendency to jam up. After loading 5 rounds into the magazine either by stripper clip or manually it doesn't always allow me to push the bolt forward unless I turn the gun upside down and do what seems to be some kind of communist gun jam dance. :scrutiny: My friend has a...

Hey everyone, I just acquired a Remington 870 and I'm not really satisfied with the furniture on it. It is an 870 express with an 18.5" barrel and I was looking to get a tactical stock for it. ATI seems to make a lot of nice stocks, and they affordable but I question their quality. For the...

DO IT! I picked up a Bulgarian the other day for $220. I purchased it from an individual who posted the ad online, they still retail for about $250 from centerfire systems. The one I picked up seems to be flawless. The finish looked a little rough at first, but she just needed cleaned...

I am looking for a Duty Holster, and I need something with at least Level II retention. Glock makes this holster: http://www.glockworld.com/item/3665_Glock_Holsters_GLOCK_HO17145_HOLSTER_DUT.aspx It seems to be a cost effective option untill I'm done with the academy and can buy something...
