Thought I'd throw this out there: what is you're personal experience with semi-auto handgun failure percentage? I have a Hi-Point C9 (no jokes please, I do like my C9..;)) Mine has 342 rounds fmj fired for 2 double-feed and 2 fail-to-feed. 7 trips to the range, approx. 42 to 50 rounds each range...

I posted earlier on this same subject, but here I go again. Got back from the range today after shooting 30 rounds - 25 of Brown Bear lacquer coated steel cased and 5 of a no-name, new production Russian, steel cased/copper washed. Once again, the copper washed ammo was much harder to cycle in...

I've owned a Mosin 1891/30 for 3 years now, and it's been a great rifle. I've shot 300+ rounds thru it, firing Brown Bear and Silver Bear 203 grain soft point with no problems, other than tightening the sear spring screw a few weeks ago. Last week at the range, I was shooting some Russian...

I just purchased a new compact 9mm. I plan to store it in a soft case with the magazine separate from the gun but loaded in the case. Question - will keeping the magazine fully loaded damage the spring and/or follower? :confused:

I've shot some 210 rounds of both lacquer coated steel case and zinc plated steel case ammo thru without a single failure. I had it inspected by...

I heard a recent news story about the murders in Afghanistan commited by our 'allies' against coalition soldiers - it said they are 'now carrying loaded weapons' or something similar. My response was WHAT!? I seem to recall hearing this same thing after 9/11 with the soldiers protecting our...

Do you have experience using stripper clips? I recently purchased a set of 5 clips for my Mosin-Nagant rifle for around $5 - $8 dollars total. I tried them out today, and ended up throwing them all in the trash! I'm assuming the original clips used by Russian and Soviet soldiers actually worked...

Hi everyone! Just wanted to throw this out there - what do you feel is the importance of having a used gun inspected by a competent gunsmith for safety and function? I myself tend to think that it's an absolute must. My only gun so far is a Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 rifle that I bought online in...
