    Glock 21 .45 acp 2 round extentions? Are they any good?

    Me too. They’re perfect and wouldn’t come off if you hit the pistol with a hammer! (The magazine would go first.) I’m using the extended Wolff Gunsprings that Arredondo recommends. The only caveat I’d offer is that these magazines are too large to carry installed in your EDC. I keep...

    How good are Glock .45autos?

    Might as well chime in. I've had a G-21 since 2003. It was definitely trouble when it was new. After the replacement #4652-1 trigger bar was installed all of the problems with it suddenly disappeared. It's been flawless ever since! (18,000 rounds) And, yeah, it's accurate.

    Need help with security for house

    Any good hardware store is going to have an aluminum bar that attaches at the middle of the door and runs between the back edge of the operating glass door and the frame. Install one of these bars and then use a sliding pin lock on either the top or the bottom of the back edge of the...

    Glock 30SF Question...

    Take: (1) a pair of bent needle-nose pliers, or (2) a long shank (3" +) 3/32" machinist's drift punch, or (3) a standard Glock armorer's tool - and remove the mag. catch from the frame. Now take: (1) a fine file, or (2) a flat rod-tye knife sharpener, or (3) a Dremel Tool with a fine stone...

    primer/revolver problem?

    3.1 grains of bullseye is not a light load. You might be blowing those primers out of their pockets. How many times have you reloaded these cases before using them in your wife's new revolver? What guarantee do you have that the brass isn't, simply, old and the primer pockets have enlarged...

    Glock 26 or S&W Revolver?

    :rolleyes: Hey, didn’t I ask you to spare me the Glock, ‘safe action’ crap! First, if you’re having trouble keeping your, ‘little finger’ off the trigger then more than your thinking is upside down. Second, there are hundreds – if not thousands – of (former?) Glock shooters who have more than...

    Simple, Cheap Natural Ways to Clean Guns

    No, but it does get rid of powder fouling. As for residue? Well, it hasn't gummed anything up during the past 9 months that I've been using it. Don't think I'd try mineral oil for an extended period-of-time on any of the, 'safe queens' though. I clean my Glock EDC, at least, once a week...

    Designed to be carried Cocked and Locked: Not!

    No offense, 1911 Tuner. I know you're a moderator and all that; but, your ideas and definitions are anything but historically correct. Suggest you call Wolff Gunsprings in the morning and ask them about the likelihood of an early 1911 going off when it's in either C-1 or C-2 and accidentially...

    Failures happen?

    That's, 'Why' you should practice clearance drills! ;)

    Designed to be carried Cocked and Locked: Not!

    NOT before the Colt Series 80 (and its disconnector) hit the market it wasn't!

    Making your own full auto firearms while deployed

    Bad idea! (Illegal, too!) Suggest you forget about it. Is it possible? What, you've never seen a production Glock suddenly go full-auto! Very dangerous, very difficult-to-control, almost impossible to aim straight, usually wastes the entire magazine, and doesn't stop firing until it feels...

    Simple, Cheap Natural Ways to Clean Guns

    I use Wal-Mart's pharmaceutical grade mineral oil. Costs $1.65 a bottle and is available in the drug store area. Vinegar is interesting; but I think I'd be limiting exposure to no more than a few minutes and flushing the bore with warm water after use, and before a final oiling. Oh, yeah...

    Glock 26 or S&W Revolver?

    Pretty much a, 'no-brainer'. The G-26 is, far and away, the better carry pistol. If there's a, 'con' to carrying the Glock it's that you really have to know what you're doing with such an inherently unsafe EDC pistol. By the way, there's plenty that can go wrong with a revolver. The part...

    What is the main reason you reload?

    Peace of mind! I love the prerequisite concentration and incumbent relaxation from the, 'cares of the world' that reloading stimulates. Oh, yeah, you're also supposed to save money! ;)

    Help! Anti-gun Girlfriend.

    :) Hello Arthur, Listen, in the normal course of human behaviors most boy-girl relationships are, ‘wonderful’ when things are just starting out. Unfortunately, there is better than a 60% probability that, over time, things aren’t going to stay that way. Many years ago, now, my mother...

    Buying a new gun (You pick it for me)

    Sorry, I'd like to help; but your taste in guns-in-general, and my own are dialectic opposites. With the possible exception of the S&W Nighthawk, I wouldn't own anything you've got or are interested in buying. (Nothing personal - OK.) This said, what no AK! :)

    string left to right (or right to left)

    :) Naa, you don't need to spend a grand; but, yeah, I hear ya! All of my excellent scopes are made by Leupold. Take a look at THIS ONE. You can, probably beat the price if you shop it.

    string left to right (or right to left)

    If everything else checks out, I can think of one more thing: Based on my past experience using them ...... that new Bushnell scope. (After the first or second went down on me, I haven't tried another one in, at least, the past 20 years.)

    Barrel rubbing on stock might have something to do with it too.

    What should my next handgun be?

    ninjataint, :confused: Frankly, I have never understood exactly, 'Why' Steyr didn't take more business away from Glock? The Steyr pistols were designed and built by many of the same corporate engineers who originally designed the first Glock pistols. This group set out to beat their...
