    My saddest moment is an understatement

    Hello all, A couple of years ago, when the world still existed, my son and I were at the gun show, and lo and behold, a pristine, if not ever fired S&W model 17 for around $700, with box. I had already spent my limit and passed, only to come back on Sunday to right my wrongs. After waiting...

    Future of the Browning Hi Power

    A true shooter's favorite, but getting so expensive compared to $499 Glocks. Will the younger generation continue to embrace this classic, or is it destined to go the way of the Python and the Woodsman?

    Why does the XD-9 have such a short leade?

    Some time back there was a post about their XD-9 not chambering their reloads. So being curious, I tried cycling some of my lead boolit reloads in my XD, and lo and behold they wouldn't chamber either. This load used a Lee 125 grain round nose boolit, sized to .357, and had a COL of 1.10...

    CZ75B Omega trigger

    Is the shape of the Omega trigger different from the standard 75B model? I just bought one, and although I love the pistol, the trigger seems very sharp and pointy, and not comfortable at all. The standard model appears to have a more gentle radius to fit the finger. Thanks Dave

    S&W M99 9mm

    Does anyone know about the Smith M99 / Walther P99? I read a short article about them in an old Gun digest, then lo and behold, a S&W version 9mm showed up at the LGS for $399. I can't stop thinking about it.

    Delton kit wait time

    I'm wanting a 16" midlength with a lightweight chromed barrel, Delton offers this, but does anyone know how long the wait is before their stock is replenished? The OOS instructions said to e-mail them, and they would e-mail back when the item is in stock. The itch is driving me nuts. Thanks

    Marvel Mystery Oil?

    Has anyone used Marvels Mystery Oil as a bore cleaner or preservative? As a rule of thumb, I dont run a rod down my 22 rimfires, or cast boolit launchers, but do put a drop or two of very thin oil in the bore to soak out deposits and guard against rust after a shooting session. Marvel's...

    BarSto Browing Hi Power Barrel

    Hello: Maybe I could get your opinion about which BarSto barrel to purchase for my Hi Power. Bar-Sto offers two flavors for the BHP barrel, the semi-drop in, and the match target, which requires more extensive hand fitting. I have fitted a 1911 barrel, but am unsure what would be involved...

    re: BL-22 OK, I'll Eat My Words...Grrrr

    .....And so it was said that you should take your BL-22 to a gunsmith for disassembly and cleaning of the internals. Not so said I, for I have had mine apart many times, without avail. Well, maybe it's been too long since I did have it apart, long enough to forget what a PITA it is to...

    S&W 25-2 / 625 Question

    Hello All: Got a question about the 25-2 and the 625 Smith revolvers. I was wondering what are common throat diameters are for these guns. I have a mid 80's vintage 25-5, which measures .457" in the throats and has a .451" bore. Sized bullets have always shot pretty poorly from this...

    Anyone know anything about Lugers?

    I have one of the Stoeger reproduction lugers (someday, I'll pick up a real one). It shoots well, and is very accurate. Can anyone lend any advice as to the care and feeding of this gal? Thanks

    Remove or not?

    I'm wanting to duracoat the slide of my SIG 226. It's a police trade in (I think) and the slide parkerizing is a bit worn. I am debating whether to remove the breech block. It would be nice to remove it to really get the slide clean inside and out befor shooting the duracoat. Also, it...

    S&W Firing Pin Question:

    I was in the gun shop this weekend, and noticed that the firing pins on several used S&W's did not have springs and were loose. Was this factory? Or have they been replaced?

    Do you actively use the internal locks of your guns? Or would you use the internal lock of a gun, if you owned one with an internal lock?
