    Opinion of Kimber 1911s

    I have a Kimber Ultra carry in 9mm and a RIA TCM and a 38super GI. The Kimber small as it is is a tack driver for me and can hit 6"plates at 30yds, no problems yet with anything I put through it. Have not shot the TCM much but I have the 38 super. Even with GI sights its as accurate as my...

    Question about using a Ruger 10mm

    I don't hunt much anymore so I am trying to educate myself on a few things. We have bear here in western NC, they have gotten in my truck,etc. They are not a real problem but I want to continue to hike in the woods so I'm considering carrying a 10mm. I was thinking of a Ruger revolver in 10mm...

    Anyone use a red dot for edc?

    OK, considering price, quality, etc I got a Vortex Venom for my G19. I also got a Black Arch holster for it, which is pricey but very nice! Thanks for all the info!

    Anyone use a red dot for edc?

    Well my Fast Fire III by Burris does not come on when moving it. It has a button on the side you press to turn it on and to adjust dots. I'll have to research which red dot may bhe better for everyday carry. Vortex has one that lasts 30,000 hours if kept on low. That may be an option.

    Anyone use a red dot for edc?

    I have a Burris Fast Fire on my M&P Core and it makes for much more accurate shooting at least for me. I have the start of cataracts and wear trifocals so the red dot is great. My question is does anyone use a red dot on their edc, how long do the batteries last if you keep it on? I have to turn...

    Over 60 shooting

    I read where a few have cataracts. I was told that about 2 months ago so I'm sure that figures into not seeing the sights as well. Was told it would be years before getting them taken out, but for now I'm going to look at these suggestions and save my pennies for easier to see sights.

    Over 60 shooting

    I have noticed (am 63) that the past few months, its getting harder to see the sights on some of my pistols. I am sure others are having the same problem....how are you dealing with it?? Glock OEM sights are not too bad, I rather like them. I have XS sights on a revolver and one semi-auto...

    Is Para Ordnance still in business?

    I was looking at some 1911 sites and came across Para. I see their site has not been updated in 3 years. Are they still in business? Buds Gun Shop has very few of their pistols for sale so I was wondering how they are doing. I have heard good and bad about their products....more bad than good.

    New Kimber problem

    Not surprised except for the fact a gun like this should run as well as my other lesser priced ones and as I stated...Handloads and Tula was all I had on hand at the time.

    New Kimber problem

    Somehow I think it might be beyond just breaking in. I've never had to use a rubber mallet on any other semi auto I had. I'm not going to struggle through 500 rds after going through this with 15 rds.

    New Kimber problem

    I just bought the Kimber Ultra Carry II. I fired some reloads and cheap Tula through it. I reload almost all my ammo and the Tula was $7.00 a box so I got some. Anyway I have not fired anything else through it but for the times I fired about 10 Tula and 5 reloads I had failures to go into...

    What's up with Para Ordnance?

    I have been looking for Para pistols and Buds has one model, GB has a lot of used or new old stock and some other sites have none. Are they on their way out? If myself or anyone else buys a Para gun is there still customer support? I have never had one so I never had any experience with them...

    Question about 40S&W and 10mm

    I don't have any experience with 10mm, but I was reading where a fellow said he could shoot 40 S&W out of a 10mm gun. I know the 40 is a cut down 10mm but I didn't think you could shoot 40 out of a 10mm. Unless he is doing something stupid.

    Question about Kimber rimfire conversion kit for 1911

    Does anyone know if the Kimber rimfire target conversion kit for the 1911 will fit any 1911 platform, particularly the Rock Island Armory? I have a brand new kit that I dug up out of the safe, never even used it and sold my Kimber, but I do have a RiA 1911 in 38 super so I was wondering if I...

    Question about correct caliber for hunting

    I have a feeling I know some of the answers but I'll ask of those who know more. I have a lever action rifle in 44/40. Is this ok for deer hunting? I have a rifle I have yet to shoot after about 3 years and am thinking of selling it. But if I don't I'd like to know if 44/40 is just marginal...

    Ruger Blackhawk question

    I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway. I was fondling a Ruger redhawk, the new one that shoots 45lc and 45acp, SS, hefty. I have a Ruger Blackhawk in 45lc and it seemed so much lighter. Anyway my question is: can a Blackhawk take the same punishment as a Redhawk? I am wondering if...

    Question about new brass framed 1851 Navy by Pietta

    I was wondering if anyone had any real experience shooting a brass framed BP revolver? Do they last as long as steel if loaded light most of the time? Do they wear out easy? These are a couple things I have heard about brass framed revolvers. I know there are people here who know a lot more...

    Spring poundage question

    I was thinking about getting a SS guide rod for my SD9 and the come with springs 16lb,19 and 21lb. Galloway said that the S&W SD9 comes with a 16lb, but that19lb would be the upper limit. Is the different poundage to accommodate hot loads or light loads? The 16lb factory spring comes with both...
