Hello all - It's been a while; I've spent the last year trying to stay healthy, and buying guns and ammo that strike my fancy; assuming they can be found and bought without breaking the bank. I've been trying to fill in my collection with long wished-for additions; most of which fortunately...

Hello all - I bought a Sig P229 in 1995 or thereabouts, in 9mm. I wanted a P228 but since this was in the manic period before the federal ban took effect, beggers couldn't be choosers. My P229 was and is a fine pistol, but I've never warmed up to its slide design - thinner on the top half than...

Hello all - I own a colt cadet .22 (also known as a colt 22 automatic). I love this pistol but am starting to experience failures to feed. Since I have only the original magazine I want to purchase additionas ones to see if this solves the problem. However, they are hard to find and very...

Hello all - First, I understand what the SRT does; I have a few of these kits installed on my Sigs and enjoy what they do. I'm not posting this to discuss the pros and cons of the system. What I am interested in learning is exactly how the SRT kit affects the mechanisms of the single- and...

I am bringing my Mossberg 930 to the range for the first time and would like recommendations on slug loads for practice that will cycle reliably and not break the bank. The range is 50 yards and targets can be set up at any distance; advancing is also permitted (when no other shooters are...

I just put my two-year-old FFIII on a Glock 19 MOS. Great sight but will not hold zero. After a couple of mags of standard 115gr target-grade ammo it's off, meaning it's back to the green-dot bore sight to line up the red and green dots. I know a red dot is more stressed on an auto pistol...

Thought you folks would like to see this - it's a custom engraved colt 1911, done by a retired colt engraver who still does a few of these for a local small emporium. I'm told the engraving took 500 hours. It's also for sale, but be warned - it will set you back the cost of a decent US...

I'm going to dip my toe in the Mini Red Dot lake in a conservative manner - buy a Glock 19 MOS (I wanted another 19 anyway). figured it's better to do this than mill a slide on one of my other guns, which would be a problem if I ultimately decide this isn't the way to go. Buying the MOS...

Hello all - I purchased a Stag Model 6H upper for range use at 200 + yards. It was a well-built upper and very accurate; however, with a 24-inch stainless bull barrel it was too heavy and not well balanced. So, my loss was my friend's gain, but I'm looking for another. Can anyone...

I just received an OWB holster from the new folks. They were as responsive as Ray with respect to answering my initial email, and accepted Paypal as Ray did. The new folks gave a four week timetable for mailing the holster, but I received a "ready" email in two weeks. The holster was received...

Looked in my spare holster drawer (everybody's got one, right?) and found one that I cannot identify as to which handgun will fit in it. It is a left-hand Desantis 001 B3. Several Google searches did not identify which handgun will fit this. Can anyone tell me, or direct me to a listing of...

Does anyone know why Safariland refuses to make a Speedloader for a S&W 686 Plus (7 Shot)? I've used Safariland for other calibers/revolvers and would love to keep to a single manual of arms. However, they steadfastly refuse to make one, apparently. I know of the 5-stars; very nice and...

Hello all - A friend inherited several hundred rounds of rifle ammo with the following characters inscribed on the case bottom: 9 L 0 6 The "9" is at 10 o'clock, the "L" is at 2 o'clock, the "0" is at 5 o'clock and the "6" is at 7 o'clock on the case bottom. The rounds have the shape...

Two scopes; each 20-60x 80mm Objective: Vortex Diamondback versus Leupold SX-1 Ventana Prices for each seem like a wash from Optics Planet. Anyone have a preference? Also, I understand members here get a discount from Optics Planet. Can someone give me that code? Thank you.

I've been buying .22 LR as it has gradually become available again over the past 11 months. My local Cabela's now usually has some of it if you get there within an hour of opening; after that you are probably SOL. Of course, they seldom have the same brand and type in stock twice in a row...

Apologies if I am repeating other threads or this is in the wrong place, but I've come late to this "party" even though it's only been going on for a week or so. I understand that the BATF in its "wisdom" is proposing to remove the exception for ONE type of 5.56 ammo; the so-called green-tip...

They say that two sure signs of age in a male are (1) an increased interest in WWII and (2) becoming interested in revolvers at the expense of high-cap wonder nines. Well, I've always been interested in WWII, so that means nothing. However, I have been noticing that I linger more over the...

The last few days, I have seen only a few threads in this forum; i.e., there is no second page to go to. Why is this?

As my interest in my M1 Super 90 (a disassembled safe queen until now) has now been piqued, I've turned to the issue of mag capacity. It looks to be a 4+1; there is a short extension screwed onto the hanguard portion of the lower that adds one round to the (3?) in the handguard. I understand...

Hello all - I have a Benelli M1 super 90 I purchased in the mid 90's. It is still in the box; still not assembled, in fact. I have a Mossberg 590A1 that is my go-to shotgun; I bought the Benelli simply because those were my heady just-got-my-permit and wanted everything in sight days. I...
