    arex zero interesting thing i figured out....

    full size version. dont have a compact one. so if you have no mag in the gun and use the slide release/decocker lever it will release the slide and decock at the same time. so it uses the mag to stop the decocker from happening at the same time. that said without a mag in the gun be easy...

    92s......setup to keep broken slide from flying off?

    there is tons of data on the 92f and fs versions, but i can't find squat on the 92s. since these 92s are Italian police imports lately coming over.....do these suffer from the lack of design changes made on the 92fs to stop the slide if broken from flying off backwards? also i read talk of...

    grand power k100 mk7 vs. mk12?

    very little info out there on the differences. so far i see a slight grip change allowing for a higher grip somehow.....and some sort of take down change. can't find any details though. one much better than the other? worth the higher price point to get a mk12 version? anyone own...

    Any reason a new production hi power barrel......

    Wouldn't work in an older hi power gun? I got a terrible specimen from aim surplus...and calling the barrel pitted would be an understatement. So i found a new production barrel. At first glance the feed ramp is a different angle and the hood piece isn't there on the new barrel. I seem to...

    hi power how much loose breech is acceptable....

    got one of those aimsurplus belgium hi powers recently. while taking it apart and cleaning it i checked how loose the barrel was to the slide by pulling back the hammer, and taking just a hair off the resistance while not unlocking the barrel.... it moves a bit back and forth. i don't have...

    9mm kurz in pocket pistols make more sense than 9mmx19?

    i know .380acp is very popular for pocket pistols and not so popular for those who want a larger more powerful cartridge. so i see the want by allot of people for a 9mm pocket pistol that actually fits into a standard pants pocket has gotten allot of traction lately. there is no question the...
