    New FN High Power - Finally a successor to the 1911 or Blasphemy to John Brownings name?

    Yeah. Unfortunately any P35 sold in ‘restricted’ states like NY, MD or CA is a 10 shot version.

    Kar 98k vs Lee Enfield No 4 MK 1

    He actually asked which military bolt action WWII rifle people wanted…”military”. A Mauser action apparently makes a great hunting rifle, but for a military application: aperture sights, 10 round magazine, faster action…the ‘Mad Minute’. I went to a school in England where we shot what we were...

    NYC Subway shooter's firearm trace

    Don’t you have to have a drivers license from the state you are buying in? Another relevant question would be, with all of his quite serious run-ins with the law in multiple states, how in the world was he NOT a prohibited person as a felon? Was he not prosecuted or found guilty a single time?

    Gun range fatality

    Did you read what I wrote? It means that as an individual I used to be able to go to commercial indoor ranges in Florida, and now those same places often won’t let me. Those businesses say, when I ask about the change of policy, it’s because people go there to do unfortunate things. I’ve never...

    Gun range fatality

    I go to Florida from time to time. I used to like to go to some of the nice indoor ranges and rent guns to try. A couple of years ago many of these rangers stopped renting to single shooters who came to rent, who had no gear of their own. Apparently too often it was someone who went there to...

    original Browning Hi Power?

    With CZs, Hi Powers are my favorite handgun for the reasons mentioned above. I have mostly Mk IIs and Mk IIIs (and some clones). I’ve taken the magazine safety out of all but one. It makes a huge difference to the trigger. BH Spring Solutions is a great place to get parts and advise. There’s...

    CZ handgun I drank the Kool-Aid

    I love CZs. The first I got was a classic 75B. My CZickness has gotten worse since. As well as being very comfortable in the hand and very pointable, I find they are very good value. Like a Sig or HK for several hundred less. Some not so good things, in DA the reach for the trigger can be quite...

    Colt service.

    Several months ago I bought a new Colt Competition Stainless in 9mm. I went to the range several times with it, and the empties, especially in rapid fire, were ejected into the middle of my forehead… not pleasant! At the end of September I called customer service at Colt to see what to do...

    Lefever Nitro 12 ga.

    Next time I go to my LGS I'm going to get it. I found the website for the Lefevercollectors.com and can get that info. That's where I found out the production dates in general, and how long ago they were made...which can be good as the workmanship is good.

    Lefever Nitro 12 ga.

    I should learn how to reply on my iPhone!!!! Thanks for your response. I will probably only use it to shoot at the red 'fake' birds at a club. I have no experience shooting a shotgun at anything, so this will be a new experience for me. WHy do you advise that this would be a poor choice for...

    Lefever Nitro 12 ga.

    For a long time I tried to keep away from shotguns because I was afraid I would enjoy shooting them...and wind up spending a bunch of money buying them, joining a club, etc. Recently I've been looking at some... I live in Ithaca, NY, and thought it might be fun to have something from the Ithaca...

    Tried a Sig P226 Mk25 9mm (W/ suppressor) at the SIG portable shooting range at KTP

    I used to be lucky enough to live near the Seacaost in New Hampshire, and used to go over the bridge to shop at the Kittery Trading Post.in Maine. I bought my first BHP there....happy memories. Of course, I was never there when SIG brought a mobile range! Unfortunately I live in New York now...

    Grrr. Wifes company changed their policies. make sme furious

    "Not that our town is a bad town, but that parking lot is the local hangout for the kids and the punks to gather before they go do whatever it is they do these days. Most of the time it's the usual high school kids trying to look tough and cool- but there have been 3 incidents in the last couple...

    Heaviest Trigger Pull You've Ever Encountered?

    I posted earlier voting for the P-64. I got two, and with one I had to put the pad of my left index finger on top of my right index finger to get the thing to go off in DA. The pull is excellent in SA (although they crush the base of my thumb!). I say someone mention the S&W PPK/S .22. I had...

    Hmm, trade my Glock 17 Gen 4 towards a CZ-75b?

    Love my CZ's! For me, holding a glock is like holding a 2 x 4.
