    Parkerized 1911 a real pain to clean because of the finish?

    I have had a stainless steel Kimber for a while, and a Springfield XDm. Both are nice and easy to clean - apply some solvent, wipe, and everything just comes right off. I have since bought a Springfield Range Officer. It has a parkerized finish, which feels great in the hand and looks very...

    Gun safes/storage for an apartment with no elevator...

    I live in a 2nd-floor apartment with no elevator. At the moment I have 3 pistols and a 16-inch AR. I have no plans to at the moment, but it is not inconceivable that I might pick up another pistol or two and another rifle in the next year. I would like a secure place to store these that can...

    Best lead-free handgun ammo?

    What is the best .45 ACP ammunition that does not result in any airborne lead emissions? I am looking for ammo with a lead-free or totally enclosed bullet, and lead-free primer. I am not particularly sensitive to cost, but the ammo must have both of these characteristics. I have found plenty...
