1) These aren't the original grips... but the problem existed before I swapped the grips. I haven't really noticed a difference between original and aftermarket, but I've only put ~100 rounds through it with each. 2) One of the screws (left side of the gun) was a tad more 1/2 turn loose, but...

I purchased a new Colt Python a couple of months ago. From the get-go, it had an occasional problem with the DA trigger. When I pull the trigger on DA, the hammer sometimes gets about 3/8" into its rearward travel and stops; I am unable to pull the trigger any farther. I've noticed that I can...

Greetings All; There have been a lot of Turkish shotguns on the market (Stoeger, Hatfield, Dickinson, ATI, Armscor, Charles Daly, CZ, Winchester, and even a few Mossbergs). When doing some research, it seems that there are dozens, if not hundreds of shotgun manufacturers in Turkey. I happened...

NIGHTLORD40K: That picture is what Gavin Newsom sees in his nightmares. I love it (even if it is a .25 ACP).

Some of this is curiosity, some of it is just random musings. I am aware that a few manufacturers make some DA revolvers with a higher capacity than the general standard of 6 rounds. For instance, S&W and Ruger both make 10-shot .22 LR (617 and GP100), and Taurus makes a 9-round .22 LR that has...

Okay, all... Fair warning: Outside of reading a few threads, I am absolutely knew to the realm of black powder, so pardon my complete ignorance. I have some questions about black powder substitutes loaded in the .44-40. For background: I was given a full pound of some 3F Triple Seven a while...

I was actually looking around for a .44-40 rifle and a .38-40 SA revolver to go with it when I stumbled across the Henry in .327 Mag. I know somebody who has a Ruger SP101 in .327 Fed Mag, and it is pretty nice (though the trigger could definitely use some work). Ruger has brought back the GP100...

I wouldn't say that only 1911s and S&W revolvers interest me. But I would say that metal framed guns always seem to have more personality and charisma to them than poly guns. Just something about them. 1911s, Beretta 92s, CZ 75s, all pretty much classics at this point. I guess as your taste gets...

I don't own any .32s, but my brother just recently got himself an SP101 in .327. It was pretty neat gun. I personally really want Ruger to bring back the GP100 in .327 Mag. That thing is like Sasquatch; I've seen pictures, heard stories, I've even met people who claim to have personal experience...

Well, here is my two cents: 1) Despite being a small-ish guy, I can still pretty easily conceal a 4-5 inch barreled, double stack handgun. 2) Larger guns are more comfortable to shoot than pocket pistols, which means the likelihood of practicing with them goes up, which means you will be...

macgrumpy: Thanks! You're the man! The two I was looking for this particular time was the 63 gr. Sierra SMP .224" and the 62 gr. Swift Scirocco .224". If this book has this kind of information in it, whether or not it has these specific bullets, I might as well pick up a copy the next chance I...

Thank you to those who have responded. I actually started looking around for this information because my brother got ahold of some 62 gr. FMJ bullets for his AR. He is even newer to reloading than I am, and I was a little hesitant to use the manual's OAL suggestions from one bullet on another...

Hi All; Does anybody know of a website that lists approximate, target, or average bearing surface lengths for various bullets, especially those made by common brands (Hornady, Sierra, Nosler, etc.)? How about for base-to-ogive length? This information is, as far as I have seen, never listed...

I am going to second the suggestions for wiring up your reloading shed for internet access. You may find that you want to check out some online data (cf. Hodgdon Reloading) or you may wish to check out or post something to a forum (like this one). If you have a landline, you might want to run it...

I've never shot the Ruger 1911, so I can't speak to Ruger's particular execution of the concept of a smaller 9mm 1911. But I have shot the Springfield EMP, which appears to be a tad smaller than the SR1911 in question, but does shoot 9mm. My experience with such a platform is limited, but I have...

I bought myself a CZ 75 P-01 a few years back. My dad gave me his S&W 59 when he lost his vision. So I own and shoot both. Both are on my CCW... at least I think they are. I never really carry the 59, so I don't recall if it is on there. The CZ is comfortable to shoot, and insanely accurate. My...

Good to here more about this brand's products. In-depth reviews are pretty hard to come by from some of the main YouTubers. Since Zenith has started importing them, I think there has been an uptick in Girsan's exposure. If ever I get out of the People's Republic of California, I plan on buying...

It is hard to beat the Remington 870 or the Mossberg 500. They are the SUVs of the shotgun world. They aren't perfect for anything, but they can do just about everything, and do it pretty well. I have taken doves, quail, and even a turkey with a 20 gauge 870 youth model. I don't doubt that a...

The problem with wanting a discontinued gun is that if you don't buy it now, you are not likely to find one in the future. I have had a few guns that have been discontinued while I was waffling about buying one; the Sig 232 and Sig Mosquito are both on that list, and I kick myself every time I...

I was talking to someone about the various iterations of the UTS-15, and how it has gone through, up to this point in time, 3 versions and is now on "Gen 4." I know the original guns had some issues concerning reliability. This was supposedly changed with the Gen 3 gun that had metal tube...
