    DAO Only Hammer-fired Pistol other than Sig P250??

    Wondering if there are any other hammer-fired DAO pistol other than the Sig p250. It doesn't have to be "cocked" to shoot like the S&W DAOs do (I have a 3953, 6946, and 4046 and all have to have the hammer back to fire and THAT ain't no way to carry as it negates the long and somewhat heavier...

    Striker Fired: What am I Missing?

    I've got a bunch of pretty good hammer-fired pistols (and revolvers) as I sort of "accumulate/collect." But there are far fewer striker-fired ones in the safe. In 9 there's a worked-on Sig P230 compact and a 9mm S&W/Walther/Magnum Research 99; Shield 2.0 45 PC; a P320 SC in .40; and a...

    Who are folks buying on-line ammo from. It's time to restock.

    Need a bunch a bullets: 9mm, 38 sp., .40, .45 and maybe some .38s&w. Mostly range fodder but a couple of boxes of self-defense stuff as well. (Oops, I mean cartridges, whole bullets, projectile, powder, primer, and case all put together and nicely packaged. Didn't mean just the "bullet.")...

    Good Alternative to S&W's J-Frames

    I've got a couple of J-frame Smiths -- 642PC; older model 36; and a 638-3 on the way. Plus a 38/22 Terrier. But I'm wondering who besides Smith and Colt makes J-frame-size .38 specials that are reliable enough for concealed carry; have good-to-very good triggers esp. in double action; and...

    Shipping Costs on Gunbroken: Give me a break!

    Okay, please just indulge my rant. Am looking through Gunbroken and I'm noticing what looks like a trend: rising shipping costs. I can see $20 and $25, 30 and even $35. At $40 I start to balk and at $50 or even one (Hauges?) is saying $75 to ship I'm through. Business must be good to...

    Pistols like: Tanfoglio FIE TZ-75 TZ75 Government 9mm 4.5"

    I've only seen pics of this pistol but I really like it's looks plus it's the right size for my needs, frame-mounted safety, all metal, based on CZ75, well-regarded maker, There don't seem to be too many of them around and I'm wondering if anyone knows if Tanfoglio made any similar models...

    Which .45 for Bedside "Duty?"

    So my current beside pistol is a .40 S&W 4006TSW CHP with a light. Perfectl;y fine and more than adequate for the job. But I was thinking about a bigger bullet (at less velocity) instead. My choices: Sig P220 after a bit of trigger work and night sights by Sig Beretta PX4 full size with...

    Walther PK380: Wadda ya think?

    Been sorta looking at the Walther PK380 and see the usual "I Luv Em" and "I Hate Em" posts. I can live with needing a tool for takedown; Galloway Pecision has a low-cost fix for getting the recoil rod and spring back into the gun easily; and the one I'm looking at is relatively inexpensive...

    Which .40 for carry?

    I'm thinking of another .40 to add to my carry rotation. I have a SW99 compact in .40 but would like another so.... I'm thinking of a S&W Shield M1 in 40 that a fella is asking $300 including a CrimsonTrace laser and decent holster (have the Shield EZs in 9 and 380) but am wondering what...

    Beretta PX4: Converting from 9mm to .40 Questions & Help

    I have a very slick 9mm Beretta PX4 Compact (Langdon slicked it up). I want to go to .40 and understand all I need to do it is put on .40 slide, barrel, recoil spring and use 40 mags. I have all the necessary pieces but they are for a FULL SIZE PX4, not the compact like I have. The mags stick...

    Who Makes DAO .45 pistols (not striker fired)?

    I'm thinking of a non-striker-fired DAO .45 to go with my DAO 9s (S&W 3953 and 6946, Sig 250) and DAO .40s (Smith 4046 and Sig 250) and I'm wondering who besides Sig and Smith & Wesson makes 'em. I'm pretty partial to S&W and the Sig has about the smoothest DAO trigger I've ever shot. But, I...

    If carrying a .380: Which One?

    Let's say you want to carry a .380. Which one would you choose: S&W .380 EZ Walther CCP M2 Beretta 85F/Cheetah The EZ is SA only with both manual and grip safety. The CCP is striker-fired and has "innovative" gas-delayed blowback system to lessen recoil. (It is the same size as the EZ.)...

    Gunbroker Broken?

    As of 12:37 pm Pacific time on 2/16/23 Gunbroker seems broken. Anyone else having a problem with it. (Sorta wish it would stay busted, I'd save a fortune.)

    Would you carry Sig 320 with 4 1/2 lb trigger?

    I've got a lovely, 9mm Sig 320 with a Wilson Combat grip, Sig nite sights, and flat trigger. I'd like to carry it but the trigger goes Bang! at 4 1/2 pounds and there's no manual safety. Seems a tad too light for me (I had Sig do trigger work when I sent it back for their "fix-up) and so it...

    Will Beretta fullsize 92FX fit on Beretta Compact frame...and work?

    Saw a complete lower compact frame for sale. Wondering if my full size 92FX slide will fit on top and work properly. Could make a carry gun with the shorter grip, don't mind the longer barrel if it works on the compact frame. (I guess I'll ask if a 92S slide would fit as well...) I tried over...

    Which Makarov to Buy?

    IF I were going to add a Mak to the accumulation, which one(s) do folks prefer. I had a couple years ago but sold them in lieu of 9mm for carry. But now I'd like to have a least one in the safe....just because. But I seem to recall some are better than others, and some (the Polish ones?) had...

    Carry Smiths (3914ls & 3953) versus Beretta PX4 compact. A mystery.

    I have a Beretta PX4compact in 9m that's the same height and length and just a bit fatter in the grip to accommodate 15 or so rounds than my very flat 8-round 3rd Gen Smiths. And I had it slicked up by Langdon so the trigger on that PX4 is near-perfect. Logic says it should be my #1 carry...

    .38 Humpbacks. Wadda ya say?

    I've got a yen for a .38 humpback. I have a Smith 642 Performance Center that I pocket carry. Was thinking of another with the hammer accessible for SA shooting. (And they are just so iconic and cool looking, even though I have the category covered, I'd like another.) Besides the Smith...

    Colt .32 Long Police Positive: Thoughts?

    I'll be getting an older Colt Police Positive in .32 Long in a few days and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or comments on it. I'm not a big Colt guy: I've got 3: a .38 Sp. Official Police, a 1917 .45, and a 1903 .32acp; and while I am fairly knowledgeable about Smith & Wesson revolvers...

    Walther P22Q: It comes with a captured recoil spring. Who knew?

    Clearly I didn't know the new Walther P22 "Q" comes with a captured recoil spring and Tandemkross thanks me for my ignorance. I watched the YouTube vids, read some stuff, and "learned" what a pain the uncaptured spring made reassembly. So as I ordered my new 22Q I simply ordered a Tandemkross...
