    Dent in bearing surface of slide on Kimber 1911. Should I be concerned?

    Here is a picture of a dent/tooling mark in the slide of this Kimber Warrior II. It's definitely a dent, not a burr. The mark is concave, not convex. :) If you drag your fingernail across the slide, it will catch in this dent/mark. I purchased this only two days ago. I have not fired it yet...

    $600 a good deal for a Hi Power in 9mm?

    Is it lame to ask for advice on the price of a gun here? If not, I found a Browning Hi Power 9mm for $600 new from a dealer. Wondered if this is a good deal or not? It's the satin finish frame. Hi Powers come highly recommended to me by people I know so I thought I might get it.

    How much pressure is too much pressure when shouldering a long gun?

    I figure the section for rifles is as good a place as any to ask a question like this so...... As the subject line would suggest, I am uncertain as to what level of firmness is adequate to ensure you are correctly shouldering a long gun whether it be a rifle, shotgun, whatever? My problem...

    Is okay to ask for going cost on an FS2000?

    Is it okay to ask for going cost on an FS2000? Not sure whether it's appropriate to ask for input on a good price for a firearm or not. Also not sure whether this is the right section to ask.... If it is okay then what should one generally expect to pay for an FS2000? I can get one for...

    What factors determine whether a cartridge will survive?

    Like the title reads, I'm wondering what determines whether a cartridge will be successful? I'm guessing: 1. Ballistics are adequate or more than adequate. 2. Ballistics are too similar to something else that is already proven. 3. No Law Enforcement interest 4. No military...

    Handguns hanging on rods? Bad for muzzle crown/rifling?

    I am wondering about gun stores that have their handguns on display by using steel rods inserted down the bore muzzle first? I can't see how this could possibly be a good thing for the rifling let alone the muzzle crown. It just seems like there's too much potential to knick the crown or...

    Ruger Mk 3 and Browning Buckmark opinions?

    I'm actually interested in getting both of these pistols. However, I just have no idea what the differences are between the different models. Was wondering if anyone had an opinion as to which model to get in both the Mk 3 and the Buckmark? I would intend to use it as a cost effective...

    Optics-To-Rifle-Cost Ratio

    This is a beginner question, I'm sure. Mating a scope with a rifle may be too involved of a subject to give a general answer on this question? Then again, I wouldn't know one way or another because I am inexperienced, as I'm sure you are aware. Is there such a thing as...

    Listing of anti-gun companies, orgs, etc

    I don't know... Chances are this has already been posted, but I couldn't find anything like it. Or, the groups/companies, etc on this list could be old news to most of you.... But if not: http://www.pinkpistols.org/antigun.html I just wonder if it is an accurate list.

    What kind of damage can occur from a hang/slam fire?

    I am referring to the action of the weapon itself inflicting injury on the operator . . . . I would assume that you wouldn't want your hands/fingers anywhere near an auto loading weapon's action (whether it be a pistol, rifle, shotgun) were a hang fire (or slam fire) to occur, correct? I could...

    So, I think this question is fairly simple: What are the causes of a type 4? I've only heard of these reasons; over-sized bullet, overly-tight fittings of the weapon itself.

    Know of a forum to ask about Benelli options in California?

    I'm just curious as to whether anyone knows of a specific forum to ask about semi auto shotgun configurations that are legal in CA. I'm interested in the Benelli M4 with the pistol grip (non skeletonized/collapsing). If the mag extension is an issue in CA, I don't have a problem with the...

    Noob questions (one CA related)

    1. Gun values: When do they increase? Annually? 2 . Kal question: I know the limit is one hand gun per month but does this apply to long guns as well? (For instance; Could one living in CA buy a handgun with a long gun simultaneously?)--Or simply multiple long guns at...

    Ejecting a live round?

    So, because I do not want to cup my hand over the ejection port of any given firearm, I am wondering; what is the most ideal location to rack a live round from the breech? If for instance, you're CCW and you come back home at the end of the day and you're clearing the pistol, should you hover...

    Noob pistol question: Slingshot vs overhand

    So which method is safer/better? I've heard the primary reasoning behind using the slingshot is to prevent lateral deviation of the muzzle whereas apparently, the overhand is more likely to cause this. I've also heard, it's generally a better idea to keep your hand away from the breech (which...
