My Buck Mark has been shot quite a bit. I'd say probably somewhere between 25k and 35k rounds (when I was buying 525 bulk packs for $13 a box, my friend and I would shoot a couple in a weekend). I've replaced the extractor, extractor spring plunger, and extractor spring as well as the recoil...

Has anyone used Breakthrough to clean a black J-frame? I've read about that particular solvent causing issues with some black finishes (Dan Wessons, if I recall correctly). Just want to make sure I don't cause any issues before I clean my M&P 340.

I'm thinking of buying a J-frame to accompany me on fly fishing trips. I'm looking for something light with a fully enclosed hammer as an alternative to a heavier semiautomatic. The M&P 340 has a good front sight, which is a major factor, as I do not like the 442 front sight. It would be...

There's a S&W 686 on Gunbroker right now that has some extensive custom engraving. What do you think—is this one ugly, beautiful, or somewhere in between? No, I am not bidding on it. I am just curious as to what people think.

It looks like primer manufacturers—all two of them—will soon have an additional competitor. https://www.texarkanagazette.com/news/2022/jan/19/ammunition-plant-to-open-near-texarkana/

I am having some issues with my rifle malfunctioning. I have some ideas about what could be causing the malfunctions but wanted to see what people here think are the highest-probability issues since I am much more knowledgeable about handguns and shotguns than I am about rifles. Here's the...

Wright Armory sent a notice that the company that owns the patent on NP3+ is discontinuing retail sales after October 15. Having had a BCG coated through Robar a few years ago, I dropped a pair of BCGs into the mail a few days ago. I really liked the finish on the BCG, so I figured that I...

So I have not followed the breakup of Remington's assets super carefully, and I don't know what entity bought the 870 lineup. Currently, the main Remington site lists only Express models, while the Remington Defense site doesn't even list firearms. Just curious if the 870 Police is now a thing...

A friend of mine is looking at a used Remington 1100 later today. He asked me for some advice on what to check for potential problems. I'm completely outside of my area of expertise there, as I have a grand total of zero experience handling or shooting one of those. Just from general experience...

I'm comparing some options with Vickers slings for a rifle. I'm wondering if there is any reason not to get the padded version. I could possibly see the padded one being slightly harder to maneuver or manipulate, but I'm just blindly guessing. Anyone use both for a day of shooting or a class and...

I'm looking at some VZ Grips to add to my S&W 686. I'm wondering if anyone has had a chance to compare the VZ 320 pattern (https://vzgrips.com/products/vz-320-s-w-k-frame-grip-l-frame-grip-round-bottom.html) with the VZ Tactical Diamond pattern...

I'm thinking about placing an order with KYGUNCO, but I am not familiar with the site. Has anyone had experience ordering from there before? Feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Does anyone have experience with this mount from GG&G? It looks like a clever design, and it will definitely fit my 500, which only has the 5-round tube and not an extended one. https://www.gggaz.com/mossberg-500-flashlight-mount.html

It's six degrees, snowing, and windy outside. My mind is wandering idly. I've been thinking about buying a CZ 75 SP-01. I'm wondering how the trigger compares to the HK LEM, which, despite having a long takeup, doesn't require the finger strength of Hercules to shoot well. Has anyone shot both...

Has anyone had a chance to handle or fire a Sako S20? I'm not in the market for a rifle right now, but I am curious what your impression were. They look pretty nifty. :D

Has anyone ordered 9mm brass from Starline recently? Not surprisingly, it's backordered, and I am just wondering how long the backorder is. There's still lots of brass in my reloading room, but I was thinking about adding some more.

So I am starting to run a little low on 9mm bullets. My favorite bullet is the Speer 9mm 124 gr. TMJ (Speer part number 3993), as that is what I have been loading for a few years now with good results. Not surprisingly, all the retailers that usually stock them are out. Has anyone seen these in...

Does anyone have experience with the Meopta Optika 10x42 HDs? I'm looking for a general-purpose pair of binoculars for hiking, hunting, and range use. From what I've read, Meoptas are kind of like the CZ of the binoculars world: they punch much higher than their weight class, given the cost.

Hi all, I'm looking to buy some Kent shotgun shells for waterfowl. Carolina Munitions sells them by the case. Has anyone had experience ordering from them? Positive and negative feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

I'll be the first to admit that I shoot handguns 60 percent of the time, shotguns 30 percent of the time, and rifles about 10 percent. Almost all of my rifle shooting is done from the bench. I get pretty good groups when shooting from a sandbag on the bench. Today, I went squirrel hunting with...
