    New Sig 365XL owner...

    I just picked this up from the shop and glad I went with this over the standard as I didn't care for how small the other model was. This is somewhat bigger but still small. I'm surprised the mag release is a little different from what I'm used to. I'd like to put a Hogue grip sleeve on this...

    How much is a used shotgun worth?

    I'm trying to downsize. At some point, I'd like to get into shooting clays but this is not the gun for that and I don't really have much of a use for it. It's barely used and just stays in the safe - and I need the room. What is a fair price for this gun?

    New to Skeet...

    I have a Remy Home Defender which is an 18" pump action. I'm 5'2", 120 lbs and new to the sport, which I plan to start when it's a tad warmer as I dearly hate the cold. My situation is I really don't know what I can use. Is the 12 gauge 18" acceptable for learning the sport? What gun should I...

    Thin grips for the Sig 228?

    Long story short, I used the Hogue rubber wrap grips but it was really fat in my hands, switched to the blackwood wooden grips off Sig's site. They're nice but same issue was with the Hogue rubber ones. I'd like something comfortable, not too abrasive but thin. Any recommendations? Laura

    PPS and Handell Jr. grips?

    Hi people, I just bought three grips for the PPS (using the smallest back strap). The Pach, which looked great but too thin, the Limbsaver, which fit and feels good but very sticky, and the Handall Jr which doesn't appear to fit. According to the pack, the model is 18000. So, what size...

    640 Pro questions

    Does anyone have this gun to speak to it's reliability? Am I better off with a standard with internal lock or is the pro an improvement? Laura

    Mild grain, practice 45 ammo?

    My father and I plan to go to a public range soon and rent a 1911 and Glock 17 to use. He spoke of using the 1911 during his military years and how strong the kick was, but that he was at least able to fire because he was "a young man then." I'm not sure what the ammo at that range will be...

    Cold Bore Customs, Texas?

    Hello, I'm planning on having my Glocks worked on late this year or early next. I'm leaning towards Bowie Tactical but prices are high. I came across a link for the above cited gunsmith. Has anyone had work done by him? Laura

    Ear Protection for women?

    I notice a lot of shooting accessories are geared towards men: shooting glasses and ear muffs. I'm looking for the best protection but in the $20-$40 range, geared for a small woman. I just want something to block out sound. I'm legally deaf so I don't need electronic muffs because I can't hear...

    Checkering and Grip Modifications

    Long story short, it's been Monday all week so just as work was ending, I got an email from a seller I contacted about a Gen 3 Glock 19. It was a long day but the gun was worth it as it was like new with two high caps so I drove out after work and bought it. I'm delighted. Tonight I'm handling...

    Disadvantages of unfluted cylinders?

    I'm hoping to pick up a 3" 686+ this year and have my eye on the Talo unfluted model. Given normal range use and carry, is there any real obvious disadvantage mechanically, or do they function the same as the standard fluted modes? Laura

    Choosing a rifle....

    I had planned on getting a Tikka T3 Laminated Stainless in .223 caliber but the gun is discontinued and my dealer is unable to find it anywhere. My two other guns of interest are the CZ 527 FS and the Howa Classic Laminate Varminter (which is a 24" barrel). Can anyone comment about their...

    Ruger SR9c, slide safety?

    Hello, I have a question for folks that own this gun. I've noticed it gets a lot of great reviews, but I'm curious how easily (or not) racking the drum tight slide is and issue with frame mounted safety. Any ladies with this gun? Thank you. Laura

    Between two 1911s....

    Hi people, I'm saving up for my first 1911 and have my sights on two: The Ruger 1911 cmd and the SW 1911sc in black. I've read that the SW sometimes hits the shooter in the head with the brass. I had a Glock 1911 that did that and it was annoying as anything. Does anyone own both models and...

    Current Model 10 vs Pencil Barrel?

    One of these days I'd love to get a pencil barrel S&W model 10. The latest version is very nice too but the former just has a special look. Can anyone tell me what these guns weigh and if there's any weight different between the two versions? Thank you. Laura

    Detective Special Question

    Hello, I have a DS that I've been meaning to send to the factory for work. I want to give a refinish, get the emblem re-etched and color the site bright orange. The last time I used it, the sparks came back at me in the face when I fired it, so I want them to check the gun as well. I like...

    Thinking about a 640

    Hi, I'm very recoil shy and thinking about getting a 640 to shoot .38's through. I have the DAO SP101 which I love, but I want to get something less bulky, blah, blah, blah.....;) Can anyone tell me how it handles with 38s and about the accuracy and sites? I have a 686 4"; the sites are...
