Having a slight issue with my relatively new Taurus 605 (2" 357 mag). [Please excuse my lack of knowledge of the technical names for the parts] On the extractor, there is a small "button" in the center, which locks the cylinder into the frame, and also release the mechanism that prevents...

Does anyone know the procedure and parts necessary to convert a traditional DA/SA Sig to DAO? I have a 228 that would serve me better DAO. Thanks! Rob

I wanted something to fill the gap between my Glock 26 and full sized pistols (G34, 1911). Found a used Sig P228, and love it. Its my first Sig, but after 100 rds, I now know what all the fuss is about. And mine is an old, fairly well used example. The DA pull is smooth, and the SA pull is...

Had a chance to try an XS equipped Marlin 1894C in a local shop (Hyatts for any Charlotte locals). It had the basic ghost ring rear sight, the white stripe front sight, and the scout scope rail and they were asking $599 for the whole deal (this shop is notoriously overpriced). Here are some...

After the trouble I had with my previous mossberg, I went out on a limb and picked up a second. I'm a lefty so they work well for me, I like the safety and slide release locations. This is another 500A, newer though, parked with the 20" cylinder bore and 7+1 capacity, added on heatshield...

Just caught a pre-screening of Miami Vice, and thought I’d share a few quick thoughts without giving too much away. For fans of the show, it’s not the show, which can be good or bad depending on your point of view. For me, it was a very well executed extension of the show’s premise, I’ll leave...

Please bear with me here, as "My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives. ":p My dad's 65th is about half a month away, and all of us kids are trying to do something special. A local shop has a 1956 Colt Commercial 1911...

Hello all, I'm trying to replace the broken/poorly welded/rebroken slide action assembly on my beater 500A. Scored a new forend with assembly on ebay, but I'm having a devil of a time figuring out how to get it on. It appears I need to remove the magazine tube, but I have no idea how, and the...

Guess I'm in the club now! I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a shotgun of some sort for a while, after have a great time with my friends Mossberg 590. I wanted something good for home defense, "SHTF" type fantasies, maybe some hunting, and just all around shooting fun. This...

Assuming you do carry of course... I work residential construction (and love it), and do just about everything, carpentry, painting, running subs, etc, and I'm curious as to how others in similar jobs carry? Right now, its the 642 in a front pocket. IWB would be more comfortable; that is...

Watched the movie "Top Secret!" last night, please forgive me... :D lyrics on request

I didn't find much with a quick search so here's my short review: After watching Larry Elder's "Michael and Me", I thought the Rev. Kenn Blanchard had some really good things to say, so I bought his book "Black Man with A Gun", which is basically a book about firearms from an African American...

I'm a relatively new lurker here on the shotgun board, but after taking a few of Dave McCracken's 101 courses, I can't help but wonder why he doesn't have his own sticky with all of his entries? Just a thought Still Reading and learning, Rob

Since I've been shooting, I've always wondered about the maintenance of range rental guns. Both of the indoor ranges I frequent have a decent selection of rentals, but each time I rent one, they are filthy, even for a non-clean gun freak like myself. Some have been dirty to the point of...

I know this types of threads are common on forums, but I'd like to hear your thoughts I'm super happy with my G26 for carry, so now I'd like to get a larger pistol for range, nightstand/HD, recreational pistol matches, etc. I'm happy with 9mm, it fits my budget, I am confident in its...

I finally bought my first glock, after buying a Ruger 22/45 and then renting or borrowing a variety of pistols. I wanted something I could shoot a lot and build my skills, as well as something sized appropriately for me to carry. I wanted a 9mm for ammo price (i'm still in college, limited...

GRNC is already on it, but here goes anyways: From the Charlotte Observer- "Police: Stop the public pistol packing New rule proposed after they get several reports from uptown KYTJA WEIR AND RICHARD RUBIN Staff Writers Hold your holsters: Charlotte-Mecklenburg police want to...

I recently inherited my grandfathers Remington 700 in .243; I haven't really shot it much, but I think I'd like to, as it provided me lots of venison when gramps was still alive. Now I don't hunt, but I'd still like to shoot it, but I want to learn how to shoot irons. I know *how*, but I want...

We get him at night, so I think its replayed, but did anyone catch his show today? He made some great points about gun control, the Brady bunch, personal defense, FLA laws, and CCW, amongst other things. If you didn't already know, he sounds like a huge 2A supporter. It was great to hear...

Just watched the first of 3 discs from Netflix of the show Sledge Hammer! I must say, it is very funny even now. He does a great Dirty Harry impersonation, and using the big ole revolver to solve all his problems :p Anyone else remember this show?
