    AMT Backup 45?

    I searched high and low for one as soon as they came out and bought the first one I found. Fired 50 rounds through it the first range time. My dominant hand hurt for the rest of the week. Never had a problem with it but it is heavy. Muzzle blast was surprising for a .45. As others have...

    Why aren't there BHP clones in the $450 range?

    I have one of the FEG clones (PJK-9HP). Bought it right as the ASW ban was passed. My friend was a dealer and he gave me a good price and took a 38 Taurus 85 as trade (I've regretted that - that Taurus was an exceptional revolver, never had a problem with it). The FEG? Very nicely done...

    Help me pick a "sport utility" handgun

    I picked up an Armalite AR24 compact a while ago used as a curiosity, mostly. These things seem to be horribly unpopular, though mine has been great. This was the first one I'd ever seen in a shop or gunshow. Just a bit heavy (all steel). One of my better buys. I paid $250 for it used and...

    Oddball guns you liked and wish you had kept . . .

    Beretta 85F. Single stack .380. One of the softest .380s I've ever shot. Accurate too. Was consolidating calibers and let it go for what I had in it. Should have kept it. One of the original limited run of S&W 629 Mountain Revolvers. Moderate .44 magnum loads would rattle my teeth and...

    How do you remove a scratch on a Colt Gold Cup

    I just leave it alone when it happens to me. I have several 1911's and they only one that I've done this to was the very first Government Model. But, I'm thinking I may do this to my slide stops to prevent me from doing this to the others: http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=214653

    Ar 24?

    Are they still being imported? I looked at them when they first became available and at the time, they were $75 more the the CZ, so I got the CZ. Later, I ran across a LNIB compact at a local shop for $350. Nice gun. I like it alot. Well crafted but the Armalite marking are a bit over the...

    Walther PPK problems

    I had an Interarms PPK/s that didn't become reliable until sometime after the 500 round mark. Many people who have these guns recommend around that many to break the gun in. Give it a good cleaning and shoot it for a few hundred rounds. If it improves, keep going until it smooths out. If...

    pocket holster for naa 380 pistol help! ! !

    I have a Graham holster that I like alot. Had to wait a looooooooooong time for it, too. I also have a K&D pocket holster for my Kel-tec 3AT. That's the one I would recommend, if it's available. Kramer's good too. The Uncle Mike's and or DeSantis Nemesis holsters are good to tide you over...

    how good of a concealed carry gun is a Walther PPK?

    It's concealable and at one time probably was one of the best. But most of the micro-9s (PPS, Kahr PM9, MK9, KT PF9, KT P11, Rohrbaugh, and probably many others) are much better choices. The PPK is still viable but just doesn't dominate the small pistol category like it once did. It's a bit...

    Olympic Arms Whitney Wolverine?

    I've seen one of the new ones. But just one and it was about a year ago at a gunshow. The dealer who had it - didn't the next time I saw him. Must have sold it. But, he didn't restock it for some reason. Either he wants to and can't get it or he's had bad customer feedback on what he's sold...

    Browning HP-OK for cocked & locked carry?

    Just make sure your holster has a piece of material extending up to and past the safety. See BigMike's picture above. This is typically called a sweat shield and it's best function is that it prevents the safety from being disengaged during your daily activities by friction or catching on...

    Polish P-64 ccw

    I bought my 1963 vintage E. German in 1994 for $189. I was a regular, so the guy sold me 1100 rounds of 9mm Makarov ammunition for another $60. Picked up 2 Bulgies. Each cost me $170. The first has lots of holster wear, so I have carried this one. The second is unissued and as perfect as...

    somebody stop me (from buying a kel-tec)

    Just something to think about...............Kel-tec is widely acknowledged to have the best customer service in the business. Just about every owner you communicate with will tell you of their first hand experience with KT's CS and how great it is. Gives you a warm feeling all over that you'll...

    What's the smallest pistol you'd trust?

    Blame everybody whose first response to every thread is "search function is your friend." It's still a pertinent topic though.

    Beretta 9000 S?

    This design has a firing pin safety and IIRC, the hammer stops short of fully down when decocked. IOW, the only way this could go off when decoking is if the firing pin safety and the hammer stop fails simultaneously. Or if somebody bubba'd it. Nevertheless, you should take it to the range...

    Sigma Magazines

    The 17s are a little longer (the extra 1 round capacity is due to a deep baseplate. Makes an infinitesimal difference in the length of the gun butt. I get whatever I find for a good price. 16/17 I don't care. No other differences I know of with these mags. The 17 rounders are an older...

    CDNN Shipping Charges

    I usually bundle my purchases from them. Find a bunch of stuff I like, need, or want, then make my purchase. Until then I don't place my order.

    Steyr 9mm

    Which model are you talking about? M-series? They're getting a little hard to find right now. Steyr hasn't imported any for more than a year. They've promised, according to members at www.steyrclub.com, to begin importing as soon as existing stocks are depleted. Word was that Steyr...

    9mm S&W 4006

    Oh, BTW, the 910/915 were different only in that they were value line guns. Finish was a plain black teflon type. Edges weren't as contoured and the sights were plastic (vs. the steel Novak's that were standard equipment on most 3rd generation guns). Another difference is that all the value...
