    Aftermarket Optics Cut Slide for Glock 32

    Greetings all, I've moved from carrying my rather expensive Wilson 1911's to carrying my Glock 32, but I want to try out an optic other than irons. Given my having astigmatism and it causing issues with red dot sights on rifles, I don't want to commit to having my factory slide milled for an...

    RMR and Minimalist Mount for MP5 Clone

    As the title indicates, I'm searching for a minimalist optic mount and optic for my new Century/MKE AP5 pistol. The gun comes with a claw type mount, but it extends far enough forward that I fear that it will interfere with reliably being able to lock or release the bolt. Alternatively, I...

    Pistol Red Dots and Astigmatism

    I'm starting to get curious as to whether a red dot on a pistol is right for me. I'm giving serious thought to a Sig P365XL with a red dot of some sort as the successor to my Walther PPS (because who doesn't want more magazine capacity in a small slim package), but I'm concerned that it may be...

    1911 Conundrum - Do I EDC X9 or Not?

    I find myself in a bit of a pickle. I will be taking delivery of a new Wilson Combat CQB Elite tomorrow (assuming my FFL gets everything logged in in time for me to get it on my way home from work), but in the time that I was waiting on my build from Wilson on that gun, I happened into a...

    1911 Flat Wire Recoil Springs

    Has anyone used these from Wilson Combat? https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Flat-Wire-Recoil-Spring-Kit-5-Full-Size-45-ACP-Chrome-Silicon-17-Lb/productinfo/614/ I checked in the safe the other night and noticed I'm getting low on replacement springs and will be ordering more this week. Any...

    Sig P228 Magazines

    What are the best magazines that are 1) readily available and 2) not astronomically priced for a West German Sig P228? I just scored a KD date stamped specimen, but it only came with one 10 round magazine.

    My Newly Acquired German P220

    Goo morning all. Friday night was a fruitful (I think) trip to my absolute favorite gun shop. I had gone in planning on only buying some ammo and 30 round AR mags, but while I was in there, something else caught my eye...a set of bar dot Sig sights. They were mounted to a P220 marked Made in...

    Full Size 1911 Holster Recommendations

    Okay gang, I've gone back to carrying a 1911 recently. I was carrying my Wilson Combat CQB Compact in a Summer Comfort holster, but using the same type of holster with the longer government sized gun, I've noticed that I sometimes struggle to get the muzzle of the gun clear of the holster and...

    HK VP-9B Abomination

    Has anyone else caught the HK abomination that is the VP-9B? Why should HK (and Walther for that matter) change, everyone who complains about the trigger guard mag release are the ones who suck (bonus points if you get the movie reference there). In all seriousness, Why fix what ain't broke...

    PPQ Classic and PPQ M2 Holster interchangability

    I'll be bringing home a PPQ M1 5" tomorrow and was wondering if anyone could lend some insight into whether a molded kydex holster for a 5" PPQ M2 would also fit a 5" PPQ Classic with the trigger guard mounted mag release paddles (they're far superior to the frame button).

    I was followed home...by another Walther

    Well, I popped into one of my local gun shops last night for some ammo and to have a gander at the inventory, when a striking German piece caught my eye. What was it? Why a PPQ M1 of course. I fondled it for a couple of brief seconds, the price was right, and before I could even say "I'll...

    Trijicon ACOG Reticle Calibration Question

    Okay gang, I took the plunge on a Trijicon ACOG as it seems to have a reticle that works well with my eye stigmata. Having said that, I completely didn't pay attention when ordering from Optics Planet and I wound up with a TA31 USMC RCO...for an A4 (20" barrel 1:7 twist) and was planning to use...

    Incorporating a Backup Gun to EDC

    Okay folks, I've toyed with this for a while now, and I think I've finally talked myself into incorporating an ankle carried backup gun to my EDC setup. Presently I carry a 9mm Walther P99 or Walther PPS as my primary carry along with a spare magazine. The question that I have is what is the...

    M&P M2.0 Compact

    I know these are new, as in just released to retailers within the last week or so, but who has one? I've reached out to a couple of my local shops and no one has one in stock yet. These have piqued my interest, but I'd like to hear from some folks who have had trigger time with them before...

    P99 Night Sight Suggestions

    Okay gang, I'm now shopping for night sights for my Walther P99. Over the years and on various pistols I've used Trijicon, Meprolight, and TruGlo TFX. Does anyone have a favorite night sight for the Walther P99 or PPQ for that matter?

    HK P30L Sights

    Does anyone happen to know what height front sight HK uses for factory installed night sights on the P30L? I've noticed I have a consistently low POI vs POA (about two to three inches). FWIW, I do not have this problem with my VP9 or P30SK. Both of those seem to shoot to point of aim. If it...

    HK P30SK First 100 Rounds

    I picked up a brand spanking new P30SK from my FFL on Tuesday and got it for a song. I opted for the night sights and three mags option on a V1 Light LEM configuration. I knew I would like the trigger because I really liked the V2 LEM in my P2000 (though it was a little on the stiff side), and...

    New Jersey State Police Suing Sig

    This just caught my eye, but apparently Sig is being sued by the New Jersey State Police due to myriad extraction problems in the last contract fulfillment. http://www.guns.com/2017/05/18/new-jersey-state-police-sue-sig-over-pistol-defect/

    Springfield EMP Black Sights

    Now that the all black EMP has been out for a little, has anyone handled one in store and would you be so kind as to pass along whether the rear sight is plain black or whether it has the goofy two white dots with the red fiber optic front sight? I am giving some serious thought to picking one...

    HK P30 and VP9

    Okay gang, I just picked up my P30L V1 earlier this week and I must say, I really dig this gun. I was curious, however, if it's just me or if others with both guns have noticed this as well. What I find to be the case is that with the medium side panels and back strap on, the P30 feels about...
