I have many screwdrivers and bits. My ambition is to organize them into groups for specific handguns. Are there any charts available that list the different handguns and the needed bit sizes to work on those particular guns.?
Just what's the difference between the Colt Python, say made 1960's, and the Python Elite.? Is the Elite a cheaper version.? Is one any better than the other.?
I have a question maybe some of the "real" Colt guys could answer for me. The picture I'm showing here is my USFA Rodeo. The piece of white paper is stuck into the frame to display the cutout in the frame for the loading gate. I thought I had a problem, but USFA says its normal and all their SAA...
Which are considered to be top of the line electronic ear muffs for indoor bulls eye shooting.?
I'm now using the Peltor Tactical 6-S with an NRR of 19db. These seem ok but willing to experiment some.
Just ordered a set of Silencio Falcon CTA-05 with an NRR of 22db because the specs appear...
I have a Les Baer 1911 using CCI Blazer ammo. I have no problems using this ammo and the cost is also great. Les Baer does not like this ammo and says that it'll pound out the breach. He certainly knows more about guns that I'll ever know, but he causes me to scratch my head and say to myself...
I'm interested, but also confused in couple of S&W wheelguns.
Are there significant differences between the models 14 and 15.? They look the same to me, but there must be something different to go from one model number to another. Are models 14 and 15 also named K-38.? Are they one of the...
Is there some "trick" in removing the Extractor Plunger and Spring from the slide.? I removed the bolt pin and have the bolt and extractor removed from the slide. The only thing left to come out is the extractor plunger and spring, but it wont come out. I can press in on the face of the plunger...
It's suggested when disassembling the receiver, that the thumb safety be removed first to prevent a jam. I want to just remove the mainspring housing, and leave all other receiver parts intact. Can I do this without incurring a jam.? Just what parts jam anyway.?
Anyone that placed an order for a new Colt 1911 WW1 replica thru his dealer.
How long did you have to wait for the gun to get to your dealer from Colt.?
I reside in CT and ordered 2 new guns (Colts) from my dealer. Paid cash for them up front. I knew there would be a wait and that was ok. Since they were ordered in August, about 6 months ago, I wanted to see where I stood re an ETA. Not pushing, just wanted an approximation. I phoned Colt and...
I'm thinking about another 9mm. They're the CZ-75 and Browning Hi-Power.
I never handled or fired either and only know what I read on each manufacturers web site, which isn't all that much. Sure appreciate input from those that are familiar with both of these guys.
I was told that using aluminum cased ammo could be damaging to the breech face of my gun. I have a 1911 in 9mm and haven't had any problems so far using CCI Blazers, that I can see anyway. It definitely shoots cleaner in my gun than Winchester's white box does. The cost factor is a big plus. So...
I've been using Hoppe's in the past, but now days it seems better solutions may be out there. Maybe because of better chemistry or better technology, who knows. For general revolver cleaning, has anyone done any comparisons of say Hoppes, M-Pro7, and others.?
I have a S&W 686 with a 6" barrel. It shoots good and no gun problems. Whats going thru my mind is replacing that 6" barrel with a 4". The gun is a bit front heavy for me, and the thought of going to a shorter barrel should lighten it up a bit. Besides, I like the looks of a shorter barrel. I...
Anyone know if the new SAA Colts are available with a color case hammer.? The photo on Colts web site shows it as color case, but Colt customer service didn't know of any option to provide that finish.

Whats better to clean and remove that caked on carbon buildup (I guess its carbon) around the forcing cone and frame top strap of my SW 686.? I use an ultrasonic cleaner that just doesn't cut it. Would a scrub with Shooters Choice or Hoppes desolve it before going into the ultrasonic.?
I'm comparing two 9mm ammunition weights, 115g and 124g. When I shoot the 115g it seems to have more of a snap to it as compared to the 124g. After thinking about it, I'm wondering if it really does, or is it in my head and ears because of their sound. I group with both of them fine and just...
I use a 1911 chambered for 9mm. Up to now, I've been using Winchesters 115g fmj. I tried some 124g. Those seemed a bit softer on the recoil. What do other 9mm shooters concider the "ideal" round for target shooting.?
Has anyone used the 1911 recoil spring tester by SDM fabricating. It was carried by Brownells for $56.10 but is no longer available. I was thinking of getting one to keep check on my recoil spring tension if it was worth while. If it's actually a good tool, where can I get one.?
