    Wheeler sight pusher

    Just a quick question - Is it good? Is it worth the size-XL money? (I do buy a lot of semi-auto pistols of varying makes and models) The tool in question: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01B3NU0U2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=26X3RJXNUUHIZ&coliid=I11ZN8SOD03ZGQ

    CZ Insider question

    I see how the Omega trigger option has migrated from the poly-framed P-07 and -09 to some of the alloy framed CZ-75's - can anybody guess if it might make it to the CZ-97?

    Gunsmith training

    Apologies if this isn't the right place for this question, mods can relocate if needed. I'm considering a 2nd career and I'm thinking about becoming a gunsmith. How kooky am I for that? No, really how kooky am I? Ok, some specific questions: How well regarded is SDI (Sonoran Desert...

    Extrapolating load data from LRN to FMJ

    I'm very slowly building up to starting my reloading - I've got the press (Lee Classic Turret) assembled and have decided to start with .45 ACP. Somewhere along the line, somebody recommended Accurate No. 7 to load with .45, so that's what I have - problem is, neither my Lee book nor my Hornady...

    Holster suggestions

    So I just ordered one of these (Ruger Redhawk Talo edition, 2.75"), and though it'll be a bit of a BBQ gun for me, I'd still like the option of using it as a carry piece, so I'm looking for suggestions for a belt holster - IWB or OWB. I'm not sure if a holster for the SRH Alaskan would fit...

    Okay, I'm getting closer to starting - which caliber?

    I've got almost all the equipment I need to start, I'm going to put up some shelving this weekend to make room on my bench, I have my Lee reloading stand assembled - I just need to pick a caliber to start with. I have dies for .45 ACP, .357 and .44 magnum. Of the three, I've been shooting mostly...

    New-to-me Sig P220 Carry has an issue.

    Found a birthday gun for a pretty good price last week and I love it! (when it feeds) It's at least as accurate as I am and comfortable to shoot, fits well in my hand and should be good to conceal but .... The problem is that the slide stop engages intermittently even if the mag isn't empty...

    New (to me) Redhawk! <smilie> and shooting issues <frownie>

    I took my newly purchased (but definitely used) Redhawk 44 to the range yesterday to let it run free for a bit, and to get used to it. I'm most accustomed to shooting Glocks & other autoloaders, but I have a GP100 in .357, too, so I'm not completely unfamiliar with round guns. This Redhawk is...

    New reloader, need everything.

    I need to get into reloading, clearly, or else I may not be able to continue shooting. I'd like to start with .357Mag and .45ACP, followed by 357Sig and then a rifle caliber to be named later. I know component availability is an issue, but I'm thinking long term. I think I'd like to go ahead and...

    TiSAS / Trabzon 1911

    I just picked up my first 1911. I chose the TiSAS over the RIA mainly because it's much more low-key, doesn't have a billboard-sized roll mark. I like that look (and price) more than the "BBQ gun" look - not to say I won't get a nicer 1911 later .... It certainly seems solid, weighty and...

    Single stage advice

    I'm going to start reloading soon. I bought a Ruger 77/357 rifle (a matching revolver will surely follow) and I'd like to experiment with soft/hot loads with different bullets to tailor different needs. I don't think I'll need to produce in volume any time soon, so I'm looking at single stage...

    Scope newb

    I may be adding a scope to my K31. This would be my first scope ... I'm sure a 3-9x40 will suffice - my question is: Will I be happy with a <$200 Bushnell/Leupold or should I go with a $400 Zeiss Conquest? I'm guessing the difference would be mostly in the quality of the glass/image clarity -...

    Mil-surp rifle evaluation tips sought

    I've found a new interest in milsurp rifles, but being a noob, I really don't know what to look for when assessing a gun's feasibility beyond a basic function check and looking down the bore to see the rifling. Is there a resource I can bone up on to become a more savvy milsurp (or just plain...
