OK, so as the part of the population that tends to be well armed and well prepared, we all know how much we love to talk and debate about preparing for when SHTF. That being said, I thought it would be great if we discussed actual scenarios where the SHTF. I searched this forum and google, but...

Just got back from my first trip to the range with my new Colt Defender, and I thought I'd share my opinions and experience with others who may be in the market for a compact 1911. After picking up my new Defender, I did not clean the gun at all. I simply did a quick field strip to check for...

After an excruciating 6 month wait, I finally received my Milt Sparks order. (Warning: this is very lengthy, but hopefully extremely thorough) Here's what I got (I'll go through what I think of each one in turn) Nelson Legacy OWB holster, aka Bruce Nelson's "Professional" S-4C magazine pouches...

Range Report & Review: Walther/Umarex/Colt 1911 Rail Gun, .22LR Just came back from my second trip to the range with this .22LR 1911, so I figured it’s about time to post up my review of this gun. Hopefully this helps someone out there, considering that (at the time of posting) it’s a...

Hi all, I picked up a used J-Frame (M36) a while back - shoots fine, everything seems to be in order. I finally decided to learn how to strip a revolver down, so I watched the videos and did my homework - at any rate, I took it apart, everything inside is OK also, and put it back together OK...

Hi, I was doing my first thorough cleaning/strip-down of my 1911 (Colt S70). Everything came apart easy enough (don't they always), but putting it together took a few tries plus watching numerous how-to videos. In the process however, my sear spring got lodged in a weird manner, so I was forced...

I picked up a nice M36 not too long ago, and I'd like to make sure its 100% reliable and safe before I commit it to my carry/SD rotation. I've already done the usual used-gun inspections myself (timing, cylinder gap, nothing looks tampered with, lock-up, etc) and besides some worn finish due...

I was wondering, is it possible and/or advisable to disable the decocker in the FS series of the Beretta Cheetah? I know the BB series had a safety with no decocker, so in theory, I feel like it would be a drop in operation (for a gunsmith, at least). I only ask because I feel like an 85FS...

Odd question guys. I've got a NIB Beretta 92SB-C Type M. For those of you less familiar with Berettas, it's a single-stack, compact 9mm. Apparently, these are particularly hard to find. What I want to know is, are they collectible? Mine's an '89 model, and it really is NIB (all original...

I picked up a nice High Standard Flite King K-1200 earlier this year. However, I noticed after its first trip to the range that the magazine tube seemed about 1/8" too short. I did unscrew the the little thingy at the front end that attaches the mag to the barrel when I first received it, just...

Hey guys, first post here, but been lurking for a few years. Anyways, I checked the search, and most stuff about Series 80 1911's is either how to properly to a trigger job on it, or general "S80 sucks vs. S70" bashing. I was wondering if anyone of you actually prefer the S80 over the S70...
